  • Good thing about Trump and his government last time was that he inadvertently went after the right people because he got into a personal spat against “the algorithms” (which they might as well use echo braces on at this point).

    It’s the same reason he took the piss out of Elon the first time he was offered his account back on Twitter. But just like that, there’s a chance he turns face the moment he’s scared Google a little bit.







  • not that this isn’t accurate but I think the nuclear war Q is in reference to Russia’s nuclear doctrine being updated recently, rather than Trump (at least with the timing of it).

    IMO the next nuclear strike is probably gonna come from Israel towards Iran or Lebanon first. Iran might retaliate if it’s as close to a nuclear weapon as they claim (they say 48hrs to a bomb at any one time, but they’re forbidden from making one because of the Fatwa issued by Khameini).

    Even with Russia’s nuclear posturing, I think West Asia is closer to a flash point only because Israel is way closer to an existential military-political crisis than Russia OR Ukraine.






  • Why is there so much media hype over this when

    1. it doesn’t really amount to anything since there are loads of alternative routes, unlike some areas of the world that have a bunch of cables going through one strip of ocean (🇾🇪)

    2. even if it did have some impact, what military goal was it accomplishing? Even the Nord Stream sabotage could have some argued benefit to Russia, but Finland isn’t even collaborating with Ukraine beyond NATO; if Finland was at risk they’d have sent VDV over Helsinki by now.

    3. Even if it had an impact, and it had an actual military benefit to Russia, is there legitimately any evidence of sabotage? (genuinely asking) because I’ve seen opinions from “these things are basically constantly being eaten by everything in the ocean that has a mouth” and “fibre optic cables are invincible except when they ingest polonium-spiked black tea”.


  • No idea on that one, but you can definitely engineer railguns with off the shelf parts that can be put out similar energy to .22lr I think.

    Saw a video recently of someone creating a homemade railguns that could, if set up properly, exceed the Irish govt’s firearms limitations.

    Hell, just searching YouTube I saw a bunch claiming “1.5KJ” which (depending on efficiency and projectile ballistics) could impact similar energy onto a target as a 9mm handgun, if my duck duck go-ing serves me right.
