Trained yeah, but it’s not like they were known for following their handler’s orders after the Afghan Soviet war ended.
They assisted in casuing 9/11, but then they spent the next 10 years trying to find OBL.
I meant “suddenly” as if all of his previous ideological goals didn’t just fly out the window the second he got access to a supply line lol.
It would be spectacular if Iran destroys the petrodollar.
The US economy has been essentially immune to such crashes because they can just print more money since everyone trades in USD. 2008 was financially devastating for the average person, but banks maked a metric ton of money and the government bailed them out of any losses.
But one of the big reasons everyone trades in USD is because all of the oil shill states only sell for USD, and they only sell for USD so they can invest it directly into the US economy.
If buying oil from said shill states is no longer an option, there’s no reason to keep using USD since the alternatives are Russia, Iran, and formerly Venezuela.
Yeah about the only thing we got was Biden’s recorded discontent with Israel’s failure to hide the obvious in Gaza.
And even for that he did literally nothing, despite the fact that it actually would have helped his reelection campaign significantly.
Yeah let me know when the EU stops capitulating to US foreign policy literally everytime.
I think only Spain refused to get invovled in the current storm, meaning everyone else would also have left Greenland to dry had the US decided to invade.
Yeah the reformist who suddenly follows CIA instructions to the tee
They didn’t summarize the video correctly (which you should watch).
The video confirms a tomahawk cruise missile was used to strike the naval base, shortly after the school was already hit.
It just confirms that the school was also most likely hit by a tomahawk, a munition only the US is currently fielding in the area.
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t even think Iran has any foreign sleeper cells or connections they can even use. Most of their diaspora are liberals that support the overthrow of the government, and they never made any ideological appeal for terrorism like Al Qaeda or ISIS.
As hilarious as it is, the CIA is probably struggling to find a foreign Iranian who would even care enough to bother lol.
Hey to be fair I know several people who do know, but so poorly that they’ll still be defnitley grinding your gears lol.
but lack of women is not one of them.
See now this is a lie, at least if you filter by certain subreddits lol.
The last time I was on that slopfest of a site, r/Gaming was filled to the brim with posts that all followed the title of “Playing X game with my female SO” and a photo that in no way showed the SO.
So I know for a fact everyone was lying that they had a SO to play with lmao.
I’m late to this reply, but Chinese pilots and aircraft have actually become quite competent this decade. Their behavior with international intercepts doesn’t mean anything, especially when its usually done by some ye olde J-11s. And amazingly they kickstarted the LRAAM arms race again with their highly successful PL-15.
The F-35 does get to face off against China’s J-20 and J-35, but to answer your question, the thing was built as an export product to make a ton of money for Lockheed.
While there is obvious technological advancement from the F-22, it has a top speed akin to a dated block I JF-17, reliability as good as a land rover, and parts/munitions expensive as golden caviar.
It’s just an export all in one stealth solution because there is no alternative that was developed.
Which is why I want to see it pitted against any nation that has properly delved into counter stealth operations. I feel like if you can successfully light it up, it would struggle in a BVR fight, unlike the F-22 which has plenty of power to mess around.
There’s no direct Chinese equivalent because both the J-20 and J-35 are more akin to the F-22 (although J-35 is a bit closer), but I would not be surprised to find the F-35 not being able to keep up with such adversaries.
And I’m fairly certain USAF is completely aware of this in their redteam exercises, which is why they continue to field the F-22 as their primary stealth air superiority fighter, if not outright their primary air superiority fighter.
Even more annoyingly for the USAF, I don’t think the upcoming F-47 is going to come before China decides to jump on Taiwan, so they’ll more than likely be fighting with whatever they have today.
They don’t mention it, but I highly suspect its actually not significant.
I used to think fast charging did the same thing, but it turns out that even the heaviest wattage implementations have negligible effects on cycles and health.
As long as your driver is smart enough to control or manipulate the voltage at certain capacities (<15% and >85%), the higher power won’t affect the cell quality.
This is based on tickets so I’m assuming the NYC swimming crowd isn’t on here since they actively run away from the police on the highway lol.
Although if anyone is, that would be pretty massively embarrassing that they are basically just pay to win speeding.
Original Fortnite was garbage lol. Dunno how much its changed since, but I found it to be the worst f2p battle royale game at the time.
The projectile physics were cruddy, the weapons sucked, the building mechanics seemed like an abusable/spammable gimmick more than a proper feature, there weren’t any vehicles, the rewards were non existent, the graphics looked pretty lame, the emotes had nothing compared to TF2 taunts.
I had more way more fun on some random Chinese mobile pubg knockoff with touchscreen controls.
Maybe its just me, but I feel like Fortnite just got lucky by being the first on the PC/console space that was free, so it exploded in popularity. Otherwise there were a ton of much better alternatives.
AYN Thor is a awesome DS handheld, but they too also warned that their supplier is bumping RAM prices heavily, so they expect the price to go up too
I am literally just waiting for China to catch up and knock over all 3 of these TSMC suckers.
I don’t care if they throw a 2000% tarrif on it, I will figure out a way to bypass it so I can enjoy pre inflation PC prices again when high end GPUs were going for $300, SSDs became so cheap that the HDD market actually started falling behind, and you could chuck RAM sticks around like spare change.
He posts his class lectures on YouTube which are worth a watch since he predicted this almost a year ago, and now he has an updated one for this semester.
I think the only thing he got wrong (for now) was the US deploying ground troops. It could still happen, but I think it’ll take some time if it ever does.
But aside from that he even guessed the details right like the IRGC shooting thousands of protesters, and Israel pushing Trump into the war, and the idea that they would mostly bomb city areas which would completely remove the chance of any revolution or regime change.
Congress would actually have to do their jobs and pass legislation without throwing 500 riders onto it.
They literally have it completely approved, it’s just that they’re waiting to use it as the base for whatever else they want to get passed.
There was a thread on one of the tech communities about CS horror shows, and one of them was a guy telling a story about how Amazon had to completely redesign their smart home printer function to run through some monkeychain cloud pipeline because right before launch because they realized one of the libraries related to CUPS was AGPL, which is a blacklisted license at Amazon.
The kicker was that the library also offered a lifetime corporate license for $100.
Amazon redesigned their entire printing functionality stack to avoid paying $100 (or following AGPL lol).
The American Auto Industry has been struggling to keep pace since the 80s lmao
They only exist because they threw their money at congress to make horsecrap legislation that bans competition.
They even assassinated sedans with EPA laws that stimulates everyone to make SUVs lol.
Meanwhile Pakistan after the first 5 seconds of the strait closure:
