  1. Having another ally with a robust defense industrial base is a positive. Additionally, Korea’s license agreement spreads out the base even wider.

  2. Maybe Santa Claus can gift the Philippines a few Typhon batteries for Christmas.

  3. lol, only weirdos insert their personal grievances into faraway geopolitical shitshow. Well done sir!

  4. The semi fabs have kill switches. And, the US would likely blow them up physically. Regardless, these machines are so complex, they can't be run without the help of the many many suppliers like ASML.

  5. It's a legacy thing when the CIA had way more influence around the world. I'd say pre-1990s. Things are way harder with new surveillance methods.

  6. WTF. How is something a warcrime when its your own territory and you are getting invaded?

  7. Considering some EU countries are slowing bleeding support for Ukraine, Poland should be worried.

  8. I guarantee one thing: those rifles weren’t loaded with live ammo when Xi was in that car.

  9. Ukraine is a big country. More systems would let Ukraine cover more areas.

  10. Video is so outdated. Putin forgot the most important part of war: always be prepared to defend your flank.

  11. F-ing stop dude. 50K+ died in Vietnam. 2.5M+ troops went to fight. That was 1.3% of the total US population back then.

  12. Worst pronunciation of “Marietta” ever.

  13. Taiwan's greatest defense strategy: have 90%+ of the advanced semis production on the island.

  14. Ain't going to be the same scenario. China will be attacking US military aircraft. Real time intel is going to be much more difficult. In Ukraine, we are flying 24-7 sorties (man and unmanned) pretty much impeded.

  15. If we could get all of our F-35s, the F-22s probably would get ditched. But, that ain't happening. Much better to upgrade everything / keep the old planes until we get out of a danger zone point with China.

  16. Drone and drone defense seems more important.

  17. The Pentagon killed 2 birds with one stone. Got old stuff off the books and received additional funds.

  18. It’s really shameful that we slow walked equipment. Lend Lease should have been utilized and found a way later to write it off or reduce the payments.

  19. Tinian is way out of range still. The practical islands would be some of the Japanese islands south of Okinawa within 200 miles of Taiwan ie Ishigaki. But, I'm sure they don't want more American bases on those.

  20. Feels like there could be different versions. Some with all the bells and whistles and a stripped down version. One day, they'll get it to the google glass size. Something like that could be used all day.

  21. Literally, Russia is using the mobilized to drain UA artillery shells. They are hoping to keep sending waves of soldiers and have UA in a weaker negotiating position.

  22. Ukraine is becoming the NATO garage sale.
    1
  23. Iraq / Afghanistan's objectives were "complicated" at best. Dunno, this has always been cut and dry. A newly democratic nation was invaded (twice) and the opposing country was trying to steal their land and resources. This never would have been a split issue in the past.

  24. I hope they are manufacturing a shitload of kamikaze drones. Luckily, OneWeb should be operational, so Elon can't be CCP's lapdog and deny access to Starlink.

  25. Pentagon bean counters need to balance their books.

  26. Someone from 1940 would be very confused about the rearrangement of strategic alliances today. Reminds me a bit of the Democratic / GOP party switcheroo in the South (USA).

  27. Russia. China. Korea. Iran / Middle East. Random hotspot. Makes no sense to hold equipment when we’ve been building up for this specific purpose. China / Taiwan: not useful Korea: would be artillery based hellhole Iran: doubtful

  28. F-ing a crime that the US didn't just occupy all of Korea. We did all the heavy lifting vs the Japanese. Russians did zilch.

  29. India should make a move if China invades Taiwan. Make them fight on 2 flanks.

  30. Japanese contractors are legit unlike the shoddy Chinese construction.
    1
  31. lol, Pakistan citizens probably love being a vassal state to the CCP. Luckily, there are no extremist groups in Pakistan.
    1
  32. Thus the hesitancy to arm Ukraine properly. Made no sense if they were going to get steamrolled and Hand over equipment to the Russians.
    1
  33. We need to examine the drone industry. By not exporting the tech / selling it to allies, we’ve lost opportunities for additional funding. More investment is needed.

  34. It took 30+ years to realize that South Korea "won" (not the currency). Now, it's blatantly obvious.
