China will definitely suffer, but it also doesn’t care. Public opinion supporting its actions are not a priority in China. Trump is starting to feel the bite his stupidity has taken him. Not sure if he understands completely, but he’s getting an idea that he’ll wear the blame. Not from the Maga, but from everyone else.

Not in anyway an expert on matters naval, but diesel subs are pretty quiet running on electric motors. Nuclear reactors make more noise.

Feel free to correct me.

Empty boots, with smoke still emanating from them.

You want the people to “Maga hat” riot the white house? You think that’s the plan?

Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

Whatever… Exactly zero consequences…

So if a lab rat adds, deletes or edits a person’s DNA it is no longer a ‘product of nature’?

I did this over a year ago, requesting that they delete my shit.

I got a nice email back saying that they would do so, but would retain necessary material to comply with local laws and law enforcement obligations.

So, my best bet is they didn’t delete anything. I only hope is that they don’t put it on the open market.

No, you took a rhetorical statement literally.

I was conceding your point.

Not arguing that it wasn’t. Perhaps we shouldn’t have bought shit we couldn’t use?

There are 8 million lines of code in the F35 integrated computer system.

So, how the hell would anyone know one way or the other? Only Israel is permitted extensive independent testing and access to open custom design. All other countries must test systems on the US continent and have US oversight during testing.

During the 1960s, the Australian Army bought the Swedish 84mm Carl Gustaf rocket launchers. It was believed perfect for bunker busting. However, Sweden refused to sell us the necessary munitions because we wanted them for the Vietnam War.

If you don’t own the supply chain, you don’t own the weapon system.

Don’t fret… I have absolutely no expectations that Americans can pull out of this power dive. I just hope that most of the damage will be self inflicted.

I’m not sure what to make of that in context. Do you mean that we should just suck it up?

And another thing. Its America’s job to police this mess, they installed him either directly or indirectly. The rest of the world didn’t ask or vote for this dangerous toddler.

Given that there are no ideal moves in any direction, I feel that standing up to the bully is the only option on the table. They failed to do that in 1939.

That conspiracy that Trump was recruited by the Soviets as an agent in the 1980s is sounding less and less of a conspiracy every day.

Taking something away and then restoring it seems a rather low bar for a Noble Peace Prize?

But of course.

Trump’s base is a lost cause, but the pain may get the soft Dem voters to get off their arses and turn out for the next election.

Nothing will shift Maga, so appealing to them is wasted.

No need to advise us outlanders not to visit the US. We have eyes and working brains.

It’s a fun horror franchise to watch, tho. Great script - a tad unrealistic.
