  1. ​ @1-501Infantry  Ryan showed his research so at this point his video is much more credible then your comment. If you care to break it down like he did and make an opposing point, I'd be happy to watch your video.

  2. Same thing happened when a course was proposed that would teach constitutional rights to the cops... 🤔

  3. Two additional good reasons to fly drones at night: 1 Less air traffic to worry about 2 fewer people on the ground to bother the remote pilot and fewer people/moving vehicles on the ground that the RP has to avoid flying directly over.

  4. ​ @realfoggy  This is not classified info. We can even follow those aircraft on flight radar 24.
    23
  5. ​ @michaelshrader5139  Actually just because we can do some things does mean that we should do them, otherwise we will lose the right to do them. The people who are uncomfortable at the sight of a gun need to get used to it. Their feeling don't preempt the rights of others

  6. It's being hidden because we don't need to know. Now the East Coast knows what it was like to live in Nevada when the F117 was being tested 🤣

  7. ​ @alexanderg-p3z  Sabrina's statement was very carefully worded for the government to have plausible deniability. They may not be US military drones that doesn't mean that they aren't defense contractor drones working in partnership with the US military.

  8. The Amazon drones should occasionally drop some treats for the cattle. The cattle will quickly learn that the sound of drones is a positive thing.

  9. Every specialized area of interest has its own terminology. Most of us wouldn't understand a conversation between doctors, engineers, biologist, other specialists...or lawyers.

  10.  @johnmarine44  When people are doing things mistakes are made regardless of the consequences. People make mistakes every day of the week and get killed in car accidents. Occasionally engineers make mistakes leading to the collapse of bridges, cranes and other things. A person trying to enter a long sequence of numbers under pressure and maybe fatigued could very easily screw it up, regardless of how expensive the missile is and how few they have.

  11. ​ @jerrell1169  You don't know what you're talking about. The airspace is open until the FAA closes it. That fire chief has no authority to regulate the airspace. There are vast areas of the disaster area that did not receive any government assistance for a long time, and still may not have. If some guy with the helicopter or drone is able and willing to help out, there's no legal reason they cannot do that. The illegal reason they can't do it is out of control egomaniacs in the government, such as that fire chief.
    11
  12. Didn't even bother to raise the gear. Typical "lazy navy" LOL
    9
  13. It wasn't fema who threatened to arrest that guy it was a local fire chief who thought that he somehow had FAA power to close the airspace. He does not have that power he can only call the FAA and request a TFR. I don't know that guy but he seems like the typical power hungry egomaniac with a little bit of authority that goes way overboard.

  14. ​ @OutsiderLabs  "Without clearance"? What clearance are you talking about? Authorization is only required in controlled airspace. This incident happened in class G, uncontrolled airspace and there was no TFR issued by the FAA at the time.

  15. Yes some are designed to float. Amphibious landings have been done for a long time. The question is, are Russian amphibious vehicles MAINTAINED to float?

  16. Mainstream media? LOL 🤣🤣🤣

  17. I saw a documentary on that. I was shocked that the general population is basically oblivious to the threat. How can they not really be interested at all when they're island is blockaded half of the time and missiles are flying overhead the other half? Reminds me of Europe and the Russian threat. How are some of those countries not paying their fair share into NATO and taking the situation seriously? Do these people really not care about their sovereignty and everything else that they would lose if attacked? Do they just think the US will take care of everything for them? 🤯

  18. I have to disagree with Ryan that we in the US don't know how to make stuff anymore. We make very good military stuff, aviation stuff, automotive stuff and machine tooling stuff. We can make stuff, The biggest problem is that our standard of living is higher than a lot of other places so the workers need to make a lot more money and the product ends up costing a lot more. Like the OP said we also have a shortage of people and the illegal immigrants are allowed to legally work. The insufficient workforce also makes prices go up. It would be practical to do much more manufacturing in the US if the idiots in Washington would create a secure border and a legal way for more visiting workers to come here. Have you heard the talk about our social security system being in peril? Are you aware that the biggest vulnerability of many countries is a diminishing birth rate? A consistent or declining population causes a lot of problems and is a is a big factor in the US inability to manufacture more things. Without immigration our problems would be far greater and will be greater unless our electric idiots start doing things differently.

  20. The crew of Marines sent one man inside to make the request. When he returned, he explained the denial... "The way I understand their response, they said we have to do it the hard way"

  22. Hearing the doctor say that Putin doesn't publicly boast and acts as a statesman reminds me of those shirtless pictures he's taken on horseback and fishing LOL One of our candidates in the US did something similar recently. I commented that he's trying to act like Putin and that's probably not a good way to get elected...

  23. The number, composition and disposition of aircraft on board is always changing. The "about this many" number is public information. It's unlikely that Ryan had access and interest in counting the aircraft on board at the time. He probably gave us the wiki number or what they told him. They wouldn't tell a YouTuber something that they didn't want repeated (unless they told him not to repeat it).
    6
  24. Ukraine attacked with 10 Storm Shadows? That's a Russian report. I wish Ryan would include a disclaimer saying that the claim of 10 storm Shadows is not an accepted fact. May very well have been five decoys or any other configuration.

  25. Did you guys see the similar video made by the girl who left the US for Russia? https://youtu.be/Xk3Mov9fUaM?si=kfxZayLt6TDpBOfu If you go to her page, the previous video explains why she left the US and thinks that Russia is so wonderful. it'll make your head explode.

  26.  @asylumacresgaming1112  Also here in the US, it's not uncommon to see a news story about some dumbass fell through the ice with his pickup truck. The last one I saw said that the guy got out of his truck but his dog died in the lake :-(

  27. ​ @SoDamnMetal  Committing a crime or not is irrelevant. All that matters is whether or not somebody is convicted. Lots and lots of innocent people have gone to jail and prison.

  28. ​ @brandspro  Required by who or what and who has the authority to enforce it? When the federal government has determined that we don't need to know, that's the end of it. Now the rest of us are learning what it's like to live in Nevada near where top secret experimental aircraft or developed 🤣

  29. Based on your description it sounds like they have actually been for the war in Ukraine, and the only thing they oppose is Ukraine's defense.

  30. Forget about the USA. We'll be busy worrying about escalation.

  31. I agree 100% I don't have a good answer on why anybody would buy American for anything that's really important.

  32. Only the airframe design is 50 years old. All the other important stuff has been continuously upgraded.

  33. Yeah I noticed that too and made a similar comment. Looks like they flew all the way up past Atlantic City before turning westbound, flying over Warren Grove and the rest of the pine barrens rather than populated areas.

  34. Early this morning I made the same reference to the Doolittle raid half expecting to be ridiculed by most people. Now that I have this in common with Mr Macbeth I don't care what the others say 🙂. To be completely honest though I feel that destroying a few of those bombers is actually helpful towards Ukraine's defense. Those planes have been launching missiles at Ukraine so damaging a few, 5 or 10% of the fleet is a good thing

  35.  @flaccidactyl804  But if they take it off the tube then they don't have the tripod... I don't think they're carrying a bunch but I do think they probably bring one with them to get started. As they use more they probably discard all but 1. If the optic is designed to be used separately why do they have to jury rig batteries to it. If it were designed to be used that way wouldn't there be an easy battery connection and separate batteries available for that?

  36. You saw that? I'm envious! I'm close enough that I could have seen it I just didn't know to look over there at the time 💔

  37. Trucks as WMD has been a thing for decades. As people have then hysterical about the threat of drones over the last couple years I've been reminding them that every pressure cooker, garbage can, backpack, mailbox, package on their porch and vehicle on the road could be an explosion waiting to happen... orders of magnitude greater than the consumer drone that they're worried about. On top of that, it's very easy to turn a light airplane into a drone with a very large explosive payload. Those same aircraft can also easily be rigged to drop anything in large quantities. Think of a crop duster or even just dumping a tank of whatever, anywhere the pilot wants to. Maybe we should just ban everything, right?

  38. Change isn't always for the better. Sometimes people who resist it keep us safer, better, happier, etc.

  39. ...and I duplicated your comment before I saw it LOL. Ryan should have included a disclaimer that it's a Russian report of 10 storm Shadow's being used. Then we would all know that the report is likely BS...

  40. Ryan's shock and awe at the ridiculously low quality journalism is unfounded. Clearly, breaking points is not a journalism organization. It is a propaganda organization. Having Ryan as a guest would not improve the quality of their work it would undermine their work.

  41. How does it cost that much to arrest somebody? Aren't all the LEO's already on the payroll?

  42.  @catc8927  Thanks for explaining but it seems like kind of a strange Outlook. the people that live there are on the island because the Communists basically chased them there. That's where they escaped to. If the Communists did that why wouldn't they invade the island? Maybe because I haven't lived in that culture I'll never understand, I don't know. The United States last fought for its sovereignty over 200 years ago but we haven't forgotten the lesson. we learned it so well we've been fighting for other nation's sovereignty ever since, while not being under any threat of invasion ourselves.

  43. I totally forgot to mention technology. People want Nvidia and Intel because they are to of the line. We design and manufacturer the best chips. We don't manufacture a lot of them and we are currently increasing that capacity but we do know how to do it
    3
  44. Drones and missiles don't fly in a straight line from lauch to the target. Look at the illustrations of the Russian air attacks on Ukraine. They kind of look like a bowl of spaghetti because the weapons fly all over the place to avoid air defense.

  47. I don't disagree with Ryan's idea that the dam failed due to neglect. At the same time I don't agree that Russia probably didn't blow it up because it didn't make sense for them to do so. Since the beginning of this thing the Russian outlook on everything has been "if we can't have it nobody can". for example just look at any pile of rubble that used to be a city. If it wouldn't directly help the Ukrainian war effort to blow up the dam why would the Russians do it? Because it does help them indirectly by taking up Ukrainian resources. It also helps them the same way it helps them to blow up civilian power plants. Something like this is right in the Russians terrorism play book. Why didn't they remove all of their personnel from the flood plain first? To maintain plausible deniability and because they don't care about people in general, not even their own people. I think it's been documented that the Russians did fill the powerhouse with explosives. For me I think it's a 50-50 toss-up whether they failed the dam with explosives or with neglegence.

  53. @JPGotrokkits  The claim of no MIC is based on the amount of profit those companies make and therefore the amount of sway they have with politicians. If you look up the amount of profit that companies have made, Apple is I think about 10 times more than Lockheed Martin, as are many other companies. It's no secret that retired Generals join the boards of companies and/ or become CEO's to influence military spending. However, those companies don't have anywhere near the lobbying power of the very profitable American companies. There may be a military-industrial complex but there are much bigger industrial complexes for other industries.

  56. What's the difference between the US and Israel? The Israelis put together a strike package in 24 hours while the Americans need 24 days, weeks or months because they don't want to "escalate the situation".
    2
  57. That may still be the policy but I think we've given up that capability.

  58. When considering US logistics capability for conflicts across the ocean you have to take a hard look at our military seal lift command, Merchant Marine and ready reserve. When it comes to moving lots of stuff across the ocean we are not in good shape. We're actually not in good shape when it comes to any kind of ship construction. If we were in a direct conflict with China how would we respond when all of our critical products from China dry up? How well can we fight when we can't get medications and other critical things like that?
    2
  59. How would title 18 of the u.s. code apply to somebody in Russia? You said that Americans join the Israeli military all the time and apparently they don't have to worry about 18 USC 2332G. Why would it be different if someone were to join the Russian military or some other nations military?

  60.  @catc8927  Thanks, it's great to hear from someone with personal ties there. I wouldn't think of your parents as being paranoid at all. If you have the opportunity to leave a potentially very dangerous area, that is the prudent thing to do. Good job Mom and Dad!

  62. Despite being a republican city, county and state, the federal government could have dumped 20,000 immigrants there. I don't think that Ryan answered that question.

  63. Regarding the threat of manpads and the effectiveness of JDAMs, I think it's a little more complicated. Stingers and similar weapons can be defeated by flying above their maximum range. JDAMs have greater range if they're released at high altitude. For both of these reasons the F-16s will want to fly as high as possible but that makes them more vulnerable to S300s and 400s. Depending on how effective the HARM missiles are at suppressing enemy radar they may enable the F-16s to fly nice and high. The AMRAAM also works better when released at high altitude so the effectiveness of the HARMs is key to everything. Also of concern might be stupid rules of engagement. Will Ukrainian pilots be allowed to shoot at Russian planes that are launching weapons from over Russia??? Can they attack radars and other equipment that are operating from the Russian side of the border???

  64. Swarms are autonomous. Lilots don't individually fly the drones of a swarm. I guess it's possible that there could be a pilot that operates the swarm collectively.

  65. Yeah it looks like they went over the bay and up the coast, past Atlantic City before turning westbound and heading towards the base.

  70. California too. This is not new and the fact that our government has nothing to say about it is overwhelming evidence that the government is behind it. There is no way that this has been happening since 2019 and 5 years later the government hasn't figured out a way to mitigate the situation. They haven't mitigated it because they're the ones doing it. They haven't told us about it because we don't need to know. As these incidents happen around the country, Americans are slowly learning what it's like to live in Nevada where experimental, top secret aircraft are tested.

  71. @ryan Mcbeth I saw your post about long render times and asking for suggestions on computers. as far as I know there's no way to go back to a post that I saw earlier so I'm commenting here... I'm not familiar with that brand that you mentioned but if I were going to get a high performance computer now and had some money to spend, I would probably go with Puget systems, or just put one together myself.

  72. Gramps, you mentioned the SU-25's being ineffective. I don't know the statistics but if they've been very ineffective why are they still being used? If they are effective enough to still use them why wouldn't A-10s be at least that effective?

  73. There are other edits of that video online. I watched one on Denys Davydov that showed the turret spinning wildly out of control and eventually crashing into a tree. then the crew jumped out and ran. On the uncensored video you can see what appears to be several shots without the big fiery burst. Commenters indicate that those were the Sabot anti armor rounds. When the Bradley exhausted those it switched to the HE rounds. We don't know that that particular Bradley had a toe missile launcher or that they were supplied missiles for it. If it was equipped with toe missiles they may have already used them, They only hold 2 loaded missiles. It also makes sense that they didn't use the tow because they didn't want to be stationary. In the uncensored video you can see that while in front of the tank, the Bradley constantly moves forward and reverse to never be stationary, disallowing the tank to target them.

  78.  @colchronic  Hi Mars rounds are deadly for vehicles and personnel but not for dams LOL. Brian suggested that it would take tons of explosives and highmore's rounds are under a hundred pounds each. I looked it up... The warhead is produced by General Dynamics and contains 51 pounds (23 kg) of PBX-109 high explosive in a steel blast-fragmentation case. Remember when they were attacking the antonovsky bridge for months and months? They shot that thing with himars day after day and couldn't get it to fall. It's also just a bridge without a dam underneath.

  89. The no status immigrants haven't been coming recently, they've been coming for decades, practically my entire life. They haven't been coming in the hundreds or thousands either, they've been coming in the thousands every day and total in the millions. As mentioned this is not a new situation. this has persisted through many presidencies and neither party really wants to fix it. It's like the gift that keeps on giving. They keep using the issue for political gain by pretending to want to fix it and continuing to blame each other. The people who are currently pretending to want to fix it and holding up aid to Ukraine over this border issue are 100% disingenuous. There could be a perfect resolution available today and they would hide it because they don't want to fix it. If Trump is elected he might finally do something to fix it because he just cares about making himself look good but you can bet that if the democrats have an opportunity to prevent that they will. At this moment the democrats seem more motivated to fix or at least reduce the problems at the border but a few republicans are blocking the way. While democrats and republicans pretend to want to fix the issue and blame each other for preventing any resolution, I blame them all for being lying, disgraceful people who don't care about the negative effects of their actions in this country or abroad.

  92. ​ @romanstingler435  I can give you one example from current events although I'm not a former lobbyist... I don't have the time to give a list of citations so you'll have to fact check... Some politically and financially motivated pundits and politicians have created a narrative that Chinese consumer and enterprise drones are a threatto US national security. Why would they do that? There's been no substantiating evidence presented and to the contrary there have been several independent audits that show no threat. As far as I can tell the narrative started from so-called experts trying to make a name for themselves. Over in the last 10 years a few American companies tried to produce drones and they were total failures as drones and as companies. During that time some MIT students created a company called Skydio which dabbled in this and that, mainly focused on trying to come up with a drone for deliveries. Then they decided to take a shot where all the others had failed and released a consumer drone in 2018. It totally failed. Skydio realized that the consumer market was too hard so they shifted to enterprise first responder and military markets. They struggled there as well and while they have now finally come out with a drone that somewhat usable it's still half as capable as the Chinese equivalent and cost 5 times more. So about to fail again Skydio decided to get political and have the competition banned from the US market. Recently Skydio has been spending tons of money to sway politicians like Stephanik and Texter, to perpetuate the false narrative of a national security threat and to higher people with ties to politicians. Skydio can't produce drones that compete with DJI so they're trying to have DJI banned. Not just from the military market, they also want it banned from consumers, hobbyist and small businesses. Skydio has one drone model that is not suitable for 99% of the American market. They're not trying to build in American drone industry they're trying to destroy it, making themselves the only option. Some corrupt American politicians are happy to take the money. If you want more specific information leave a comment and I can try to come up with a reading list for you. There's a channel called steel city drones that has been covering the latest attempts to get Skydio banned through the NDAA and other legislation. DJI imports are currently being held at customs because because somebody in the government alleges that they used slave labor to produce the drones. Our government doesn't have a problem with Chinese labor for hundreds of billions of dollars of products, but 10 million worth of drones is all a sudden a problem?

  94. I think that Ryan is a little off with his Air Force aircraft recommendations. New F35s and F35 upgrades are severely backordered. The Air Force has already figured out that they need to let the A-10s go. They've actually been trying to get rid of them for a long time but everybody outside of the Air Force loves the plane too much. The Ukraine war has finally proven its vulnerability to enough people that it's finally on it's way out. There are some situations where fourth gen airplanes will work well but not always, and like already mentioned, we can't get enough F-35s

  95. Great analysis and explanation of a lot of factors. I've had that experience of suddenly being expected to do something you are always trained not to do. Really hard to make the switch... I also understand that other thing that gets better but doesn't go away. Some experiences flip a switch in your brain in an instant. overtime that switch may ease back towards the original position but also may never there...

  101. Russia or Ukraine may not have air dominance but Russia has enjoyed air superiority since the 1st day of the war. After "I need ammunition" the main thing Zelenskyy has wanted all along is to "please just close the skies", but that still hasn't happened. Almost everything Russia has been able to accomplish in 2024 has been due to the use of the glide bombs, dropped from fighter/ bomber aircraft.

Hmmmm, maybe exhaust from jet engines? if they don't need the ice cleared immediately they can just throw salt on it and wait for the sun to come out.

  114. Small cheap American drones has been tried. GoPro created a drone called the karma several years ago but it was a disaster. There are some American drone companies that make enterprise level drones but they have no interest in a small, cheap consumer drone. Things are only getting worse because one of the American companies is playing every dirty trick in the book to have all Chinese drones banned and that will ruin the American drone industry. This is happening right now. They're trying to have the language put into the national defense authorization act as I'm writing this comment.

  119.  @brian1204  There seems to be a theme... politicians are scumbags. I don't think that the maga movement is about corruption. To the contrary they believe that Trump will drain the swamp and put an end to most of the corruption that the democrats have gotten away with. I was with them but over the last couple of years have changed my outlook on Trump. He's just a different kind of dirty but still as dirty as all the rest.

  122. @ryanmcbeth Would love to hear your ideas about whether or not it's a threat to have the tiktok or some other Chinese app on your phone or some other device with similar capabilities. Besides what you went over in this video what about the app mining information from everything that our devices have access to and potentially sending it back to the motberland. Is there anything realistically dangerous that China can do with our photos, location information, Demographic information, patterns and habits based on race, gender, political affiliation, personal interests and other stuff like that? If there is something concerning about all this would that concern be limited to our devices or would it also be associated with other things meaning that getting rid of our devices this wouldn't make any difference. For example let's say that Chinese cars are sold in the US and those cars are driving around country recording everething they see and here along with all the patterns of the people driving those cars. Would that be a realistic problem and could that problem be eliminated by putting restrictions on those cars or banning them altogether? Or would the problem persist because for example All that information might already be commercially available to anyone who wants to buy it including the CCP? If all that stuff is already available then banning the cars would make no difference. That would be kind of like trying to keep the squirrels out of your attic by closing off one of the 10 holes that they chewed into your soffits. It would make no difference. Thanks!

  123. I mentioned phones specifically but I didn't mean to limit it to phones what about TV's observing us in our homes, surveying equipment and any kind of device in our society. It's not just about stealing data and observing patterns but also maybe other things like making us dependent on these devices and then shutting them down. Would people be unable to do their banking and would supermarkets be unable to order products if Chinese components in critical equipment suddenly self-destructed due to firmware update, for example...

I'm not in the Helene area so I don't know first-hand what's happened there, but I did go through hurricane Sandy where I had some contact with fema along with the federal government in general over the years. In my experience fema and the feds in general (and the executive branch at every level) are very much "my way or the highway". I have no trouble believing that fema representatives had a policy and if the locals didn't follow it they would be turned away, or worse. Lots of people have been detained and arrested for committing no crime or even for practicing something that is protected by the Constitution.

  126. They can be intercepted the government is just not doing that because the government is behind it. As far as transponders and other requirements that people think of for drones, it's not clear that these aircraft fall under those rules. Think about the definition of an s consider whether these things really seem to fit. If they don't fit in that definition what rules are they flying under?

  129.  @tjrbrownell  I'm fully awake and utilize all reliable news sources. Your assumptions, especially that I'm tainted by conservative media show that you're the one who's biased. The case that I'm aware of, that is available to watch here on YouTube, was a helicopter pilot actively rescuing people off the mountain and the local fire chief had a freaking hissy fit. The airspace was not controlled and there was no TFR at the time. We agree that the government can't be everywhere all the time (thank God) but when people need assistance and the government isn't getting it done, other people who can, should provide the assistance. Government control freaks need to follow, lead or get out of the way.

  135. @juanmangasmochas1533  I was interested to see the context underwhich it happened. I was thinking that even active duty military troops have the right to self-defense. If they were under attack by motor vehicle, another a gunman or whatever they could shoot. Legally it's complicated and interesting situation. For better or worse cops often enjoy qualified immunity. I wonder if military people would have that or something like it.

  136. 6:40 "... those are out of production..." So? If they get destroyed they're gone forever. So what? Why wouldn't Russia still use them? They ain't no good just tying up resources on the ground.

  137.  @richardkudrna7503  Maybe precious for museums. What would Russia be saving them for, that's more important than the situation that Russia is currently in? Russia is struggling. If it has airworthy warplanes it should be using them. The argument that they're precious doesn't makes sense (except for museums).

  138.  @richardkudrna7503  If Ryan was saying that they're old, obsolete, ineffective and vulnerable that would make sense, but that's not what he said in that part of the video. Or, maybe I just didn't understand 🤷‍♂️ Also I think it's been established and accepted that aircraft like the SU-25 and A-10 are too vulnerable to use anymore but Ryan mentioned the SU-25 as one of the few that are being used. I find that confusing.

  165.  @nirfz  He didn't say that they all moved there themselves. He also didn't say that they weren't dumped there. It SOUNDS like the way a politician would skirt the truth. I'm not saying that Ryan would do that. I'm saying that it SOUNDS like it. It APPEARS to be the kind of word smithing a politician would use to avoid the question... It's plausible that the federal government detained these people as they crossed the border and then released them where they had some connections. That place could be that city.

  168. You should always keep track of where it is in relation to some object on the ground. For example... it's to the left of the flagpole about twice as high and moving to the right. That way you can find it easier because you know where to start looking. As it moves you note it's position in relation to some other thing that it's approaching. You should always know it's location in relation to your location so that if the app crashes or something else goes wrong you can fly it back home.

  172. @Graham Strouse  There are no American units operating in Ukraine, except to guard the embassy. I believe that American equipment and probably equipment supplied by other foreign suppliers, is supplied under the condition that it won't be used against targets in Russia. If Ukraine wants to keep receiving military supplies they have to abide by conditions imposed by the suppliers. I don't like it but it is the truth. I hope that whatever conditions exist will be relaxed dramatically, but only time will tell.

  173.  @johntowers1213  The S400 is good but probably only about half as good as Russia claims. In addition to that they have the same limitations as we do with Patriot, not enough to go around. It's range varies dramatically based on what it's trying to target, the altitude of that potential target and other factors. I don't take the as400 lightly but I do think that it's effectiveness can be mitigated. AARM-ER... The us might like the opportunity for some real-world testing 🤔

  174. Sorry I have to stop right in the beginning and disagree, with all due respect Ryan. Too many apartment buildings and civilian electrical facilities along with other civilian infrastructure have been blown up for far too long, for it not to be intentional. Why should we believe that the same force that has executed civilian populations in places like Butcha and is actively engaged in a war of genocide has only mistakenly attacked the apartment buildings?

  175. 12:35 Russia could have prevented this by stopping its war against Ukraine. True but you overlooked that Russia should have closed the airspace to civilian traffic. Also, the airline should have refused to fly to a country at war, especially that area of the country.

  186. I think that Ryan's flight path was inaccurate. Looking at the video it seems that they flew up the coast, past Atlantic City and then turned westbound towards JBMDL. His thought about the risk assessment might be why they chose to fly that route. While most of Southern New Jersey is sparsely populated the line he drew would have taken them over populated areas. Instead I think they flew up the coast staying mostly over the Bay and the ocean. When they turned westbound, they flew mostly over pine forests all the way to the base.
    1
  187. ​ @Erik_Ice_Fang  Air Force in international guard trained over New Jersey all the time there's no reason they can't use their AWACS out of JBMDL. They actually probably are doing that. That's probably part of this training/ testing operation. We just haven't heard about it because we don't need to know.

  188. It's perfectly legal to come to the border and request asylum. Several different administrations of the US government have allowed asylum seekers to enter and stay with permission until they get a hearing. We've never had enough judges to conduct the hearings in a timely manner. For people in this situation it would be unfair to refer to them as illegal or to deport them. If somebody's been waiting for their hearing for years and in the meantime has started a family, and not gotten in any serious trouble, they should get to stay.

  192. When it comes to noticing signs that China is "about to invade" you have to consider the timeframe. When they start stockpiling blood like Russia did before it invaded Ukraine the time frame is probably less than a month. Stockpiling commodities and slowly reducing exports could happen over years. For a longer term sign that China is "about to invade" check out the latest video (as of 17 Jan 2025) on the HI Sutton channel.
