  1. It's space. Yell as loudly as you want. No one can hear you.

  2. One of my favorite movie quotes, from Battle of the Bulge, "General, do you realize what this means? It means that the Americans have fuel and planes to fly cake across the Atlantic Ocean. They have no conception of defeat."

  3. @ What makes you certain that Ukraine isn't our problem?

  4.  @minecraftfox4384  I'm not quite sure I understand how the distance is dispositive to the issue. Can you please explain? TIA.

  5.  @skaldlouiscyphre2453  It makes me feel a little icky.

  6. Under what Constitutional authority would the Federal government make such a law?

  7.  @nicholassmidsmid2808  Friendly fire is a real thing. I don't think that comes close to supporting the claim that was made.

  8. How many drones can a drone operator handle? Depends on the interface and how smart the drones are. How many busy bees in a hive? How many soldiers can an officer command? Just a thought. Can we get a talk on sensors? Radar, sonar, optical, proximity?

  9.  @telengardforever7783  What about, "Janissaries began as elite corps made up through the devşirme system of child levy enslavement, by which indigenous European Christian boys from the Balkans (predominantly Albanians, Bulgarians, Croats, Greeks, Romanians, Serbs, and Ukrainians) were taken, levied, subjected to forced circumcision and forced conversion to Islam, and incorporated into the Ottoman army."

  10.  @jurassictyrantkingYT  I'm an American, and if you will just explain that being the world's policeman comes with a lifetime supply of doughnuts we'll eagerly change our minds. Can I get some coffee too?

  11. Wikipedia has an interesting article on Customary International Law.

  12. I googled a little bit. Is the channel Peter Fairlie?

  13.  @RyanMcBethProgramming  Sure, but what happens at the other end of the loop, because if you start at one you should loop until the index is equal to the size of the array. Or is that the number of the planes? Anyway, you not only miss the first one but logically you should encounter an invalid one. A competent programmer can write Fortran in any language.

  14. I get it. But I prefer to live with the freedoms I have under the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

  15.  @akizeta  How serious an injury? Did it put him in a wheel chair?

  16. Are you sure the Korean troops will be used in combat? There are plenty of roles for non-combat troops in armies. Maybe non-Russian speakers could fill some of those roles, freeing up some more Russians for the front?

  17. Is that possible? Are there companies that will refuel military aircraft during a mission?

  18. Who is Israel fighting a war of aggression against?

  19.  @danielheckel2755  Yes, but where did France's attitude get them with Charlie Hebdo. And let's not forget the Vichy.

  20. I very much doubt that. What makes you think so?

  21. How much do you get paid for comments like that?

  22. Our interests don't end at our borders.

  23.  @TWFydGlu  That's a helluva place to bring a snowball. What chance did it have?

  24. Plot twist. The people flying the drones are looking for people who spread misinformation.

  25.  @DanielSihmLarsen  Just our of curiosity, what would an independent Greenland look like in the modern world. Certainly they would have to be a member of NATO, wouldn't they? Or else within a few days their independence would be contested, wouldn't it? But suppose Greenland does become independent and a NATO member, and their waters are claimed by someone. Would NATO respond to them invoking Art 5? For their territorial waters?

  26. He took an attack on the mission by Iran into account.

  27.  @adamgates1142  Did Hezbollah wait until northern Israel was evacuated before shooting their rockets? What about the twelve children killed in Israel by that Hezbollah rocket?

  28. Some guy in Iran and another guy in Israel simultaneously: "You stop first."

  29. Depends on the value of the target.

  30. Like the man said, quantity has a quality all its own. But even so, it will depend strongly on the morale of the people and logistics.

  31.  @Lobsterwithinternet  But if so, also means that the prof doesn't know that he's ignorant of many things.

  32. He might serve them potatoes and borscht. Or maybe eventually he'll give them bread and salt.

  33. No. I met some nice Mormon girls doing their missionary year and they appeared to be well fed, and one of them seemed to be able to think on her own.

  34.  @smileyr  I disagree. I think Europe can do that, but perhaps they lack the will to do that. Remember also, that it was the UK and Canada that gave the US Tube Alloys that allowed us to end WW2 early and with fewer casualties. But I will grant you that at the moment, Europe's priorities seem to be social programs and compromising freedom of expression and not defense.

  35. Our interests don't end at our border. If Putin isn't stopped in Ukraine, where will be be stopped?

  36.  @Jupiterxice  Do you honestly believe that if the US abandons all its allies that they won't be taken over by either Russia or China and then we'll have to stand alone against the entire world. Do you think we'd survive? Or is survival not your problem?

  37.  @maksimfedoryak  Maybe he's referring to Kadyrov's conflict with some other people in the Federation? It's too complicated for my little brain to understand it, but it looks like a dispute over a divorce and a company merger. I think there have been some shots fired and casualties.
    1
  38.  @maksimfedoryak  But think of the consequences for how it looks to other members of Putin's oligarchy who depend on him to resolve disputes and he's not doing it.

  39. MPGA? Why doesn't Poland make their own weapons? Edit, I somehow managed to misspell MPGA.

  42.  @Khronogi  Is Trump involved in project 2025?

  43.  @Pathfinder1932-t5d  So you think the founder of project 2025 is an honest man and knows what Trump believes?

  44. Great video. Thanks. Maybe not just for YTers, but for anybody who works for themselves or does gig kinds of jobs. Maybe even good for employees, because you should still be working for yourself, because NB, your employer doesn't love you. One or two minor quibbles. If you've got that agent or other relationship that is supposed to bring in revenue, make sure you track that. I saw a YTer recently talking about a long term relationship where he didn't keep track of the money being deposited and now it's probably gone, and it might cost more to get it in terms of both time and money, than he would recover. And secondly, there are lots of people to pay, our uncle, our mortgage holder, and so forth, but don't forget to pay yourself. Speak to a good accountant and ask them about IRAs and other stuff. Anyway, I'm gonna steal a line from a guy I watch, it's just a thought. Thanks again.

  45. Thank you. Although I'm not surprised that tweeter didn't respond to you their loss is our gain.

  46. If Biden allows the US military to be used for this, I won't be just surprised. I'll be shocked.

  47. Did you have a specific disagreement with what Ryan said that you would care to share with the rest of the class?

  48. Well then, lets appreciate the Hezbollah and Hamas don't appear to go for legitimate targets. Ok, now I'll be in trouble with Ryan for my spin. I think it's a good question. Are the leaders of a state at war legitimate targets? Was that Austrian Painter a legitimate target? Roosevelt?

  49. What would the Constitutional authority for that be?

  50.  @American_Psycho69420  Yes, we have a somewhat odd system of government. The Federal government is sovereign, but so are the States, sort of, and it is the states that created the Federal government. In theory the Federal government is a government of limited powers and is supposed to follow the Constitution. In practice we sometimes step over those lines and pretend that we didn't step over the line and at the same time pretend the line doesn't exist. But generally things like marriage are left to the states. Oh, also, in case you decide to read up on this, we more or less follow a Common Law tradition, so it's not just the Constitution, but also case law that rules. Sort of. And also, for some bits here and there the Articles of Confederation, our original constitution so to speak, is still in effect.
