My job here is done.
Or just you know, jail them?
You just need a lot of lights.
It’s just the money for fostering cooperation. This is not the money for the member state militaries.
The European military budget alone is more than 200 bil. NATO minus the US spends 360 bil, with Russia and China spending 370 bil combined.
The US spends more than 800 bil, but that’s their problem.
And viruses too
PNG is Papua New Guinea?
On the one hand, a carrier is fricking fast unlike its size would suggest, so good luck catching up. On the other hand, the ASW sonars may not pick up something as small as a diver, but they certainly can fry them.
Maybe in port.
How could it with no fifth wheel and only four road wheels?
Leftist in Hungary just means “not Fidesz”. No joke, they once called a straight up Nazi party who are campaigning on segregation and antisemitism leftist.
I assumed that’s already the case.
I can’t decide if you’re being downvoted by the tankies for calling out their propaganda, or the neolibs for calling out theirs.
There is a non-negligible amount of revisionists in Hungary that would prefer to shoot rockets from Hungary’s side as well and take territory from Ukraine.
I would probably be in favour of a law banning certain types of software on the phones of children, such as abusive social media or games with microtransactions.
Maybe doing the same for adults wouldn’t hurt.
I would rule out drones, as yep, if they are radio controlled, you can just blast them with jamming, but guided missiles are absolutely capable of sinking a carrier. The trick is that you need a shitload of them since the carrier group has both long-range missiles and short range CIWS systems to counter those missiles. The only way you can hurt a carrier with them is if you launch a shitton of them.
Or you can actually launch ballistic missiles instead of cruise missiles. The upside is that anti-missile missiles and CIWS are not quick enough to catch them and radars can’t really see them if they are not Hamas-style homemade fireworks, but stuff like the Kinzhal. The downside is that it’s very hard to guide it in the terminal stage, so they might come very fast, but may be very inaccurate.
If Russia’s Kinzhal, or China’s DF-ZF is accurate enough to hit a carrier, that’s a big problem for the carrier. Whether it is accurate enough is a good question, since maneuvering something that is that fast is not easy, and also if you go that fast in our atmosphere, you are basically blind since the air gets turned into plasma around you (think Space Shuttle reentry). It is a hotly debated topic whether Russia’s or China’s weapons are accurate enough. OTOH, from the price of a carrier (not including the group or the planes or operation), you can build more than a thousand Kinzhals, so assuming you can launch them all, eventually it might hit something important.
Or you can also just build a diesel electric sub, get some cheap guided torps and torpedo the shit out of the carrier. There is ASW defenses of course, but Sweden has repeatedly demonstrated simulated kills on US carriers with diesel-electric subs.
Come to the Netherlands. On the one hand you learn that a trailer can be hauled by anything. On the other hand, you’ll see that this truck has a laughably small storage space compared to its road footprint.
I sure hope that they become a political talking point where the government loses votes if they contract with them again.
It’s crowd behavior and no one really has a control over it.
No it’s not. It’s like 100 guys at the top who fucked over everyone by bribing the US congress to massively lower taxes on them, give them unchecked political power, and are actively fucking over the economy of the world.
All that missing money isn’t in the pockets of still-working seniors.
They are spending more on your healthcare than most developed nation spend on theirs per citizen, it just gets stolen on its way to you. US healthcare is not underfunded.
There is a big difference between Autopilot and that hypotethical uncle. If the uncle causes an accident or breaks shit, he or his insurance pays. Autopilot doesn’t.
By your analogy, it’s like putting a ton of learner drivers on the road with unqualified instructors, and not telling the instructors that they are supposed to be instructors, but that they are actually taking a taxi service. Except it’s somehow their responsibility. And of course pocketing both the instruction and taxi fees.
The bar is not incredibly high for self driving cars to be accepted. The only thing is that they should take the blame if they mess up, like all other drivers.
