so, a trebuchet?

if you’re being invaded, then killing aggressor side soldiers solves very practical problem of getting invaded by them

unless you’re saying that the ethical thing to do is to keel over and die in this situation

Live in the forest ig. Some defect to Ukrainians, there are flyers and websites and telegram channels for that, but hard to say how many choose so

i feel like if it’s not something thst everyone got this would cause new kind of racism

japanese have 100v and don’t have this problem

It’s not. He-3 is supposed to be maybe one day used in fusion power, but we’re talking about tons of this stuff. Not only scale is off, also He-3 burning requires much higher temperature than D-T fusion, and this is just around in next 20 years pinky promise

People who think that it’s a big deal also take Ray Kurzweil seriously, it’s scifi noise

In practical terms, when DHS wanted to get He-3 neutron sensors, they bought out entire global supply for multiple years, for an application where only grams are needed and it’s not used up. It’s made from decay of tritium currently and it’d be less energy intensive to make it the usual way

you shouldn’t mix alcohol and zopiclone mate you’re gonna die from this

at minimum brits have source code. couple of eu countries make parts for it as well

there’s a couple of big failures in american defense industry (like shipbuilding) but F35 is not one of them. the alleged killswitch is not likely a thing because first, it could be used by the most probable adversary, and they already shown capability in EW; and second, it’s not necessary because it requires constant stream of spare parts and maintenance. as if it’s worth it, ask any remaining iranian radar operator for firsthand opinion

some countries switched to euro made jets anyway, but these aren’t likely to be doing the job that F35 is cut to do anyway (SEAD)

there’s already euro alternative in development, for which americans were explicitly not invited (GCAP, FCAS). there’s also the everything else part of military, half of euro countries make now artillery (both tube and rocket) so these can be bought locally too

it’s not listed because this is not what is happening

italy for example put bridge construction in that military budget (as critical infrastructure)

also the subtext was “spend that defense budget in america” and this is not happening either for variety of reasons, so it’s partial failure already for them

Horseshit. USAF doesn’t need AIM-7 Sparrow or MIM-23 Hawk missiles, these aren’t even in service anymore. But Ukraine can use these (Hawk missiles can be used on Buk launchers)

both of these are population density maps

it’s a very long gif
