    Like all the paid shills accusing anyone who questions this crazy narrative of being a paid shill.

    When you look over the edge of the world, you find that it's shills, all the way down.

    Any regulation of speech is a violation of the 1st Amendment, which explicitly states "no fucking law!! Attempting to influence stupid people is not a crime, unless you can prove actual diminished capacity. Voting republican or democrat doesn't cut it.

    There can be no debate. We all have a duty to circumvent censorship instead of arguing about it wherever it is encountered.

    Meh. Mod this down.

    "If there was any there there, we'd have seen real indictments

    The Mueller investigation is 11 months old. How dumb are you?

    opinions, or incorrect facts to another country?"

    Beats me, but no one in the indictement is being charged with that.

    Ivan's English is good but math skills? Not so much.

  9. In that case we all agree not to tell them how much more efficient aiming the rockets at the target would be compared to their stupid "raining men" plan.

    This wins sight picture of the day.

  11. Yah, TFA said they saw indications back in Jan. Fwiw, I could see independent (or state-sponsored) hackers from many countries that would want to retaliate when the world is not fair.

    The fact that we call a portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum "light" is obviously racist.

  15. Good to hear. For the next BIGWAR(tm), we're going to find that the cutting edge stuff that we're still working on will be filtered out quickly, while the previous generation ship's blueprints will be dusted off, duped and sent to all of a nation's shipyards.

    We would then find the things that worked on the "advanced" platforms would be adapted for the Burke's and Bremen's, and they'd be hellonwater.

    Actually, my comment was related to the tangent of the problems with the US LCS, and an article that I read saying that they are looking at buying more flights of the Burke. It appears that the pie-in-the-sky warship wishes have had reality checks.

    I've had to take the lead on a couple of projects due to mgmt fail recently. I'm watching for when it all comes back to bite me in the ass. Hopefully I'll see it and deal with it, but there are quite a number of ways to scapegoat someone, and many have that ability as their core competency.

    Mother of necessity. A new threat allowed us to put our war dogs back in the kennel (to the point that, 5 years later, Korea strained the US military). History is strange. You grab your breaks when you can find them.

    Most of the more enthusiastic Nazis had either fled to South America or been given cushy government jobs in the US. The biggest problem were the Nazis the US insisted be installed on prominent posts in the West German security and intelligence agencies. Most of them retired by the 1970, though.

    Well, we saw after Iraq II that, when the Baath party was banned, a vast pool of govt operational knowledge was cut off from helping to stabilize the country after the regime fell. (They found other outlets for their skills and energy).

  21. Ok, that's the Germans out. And the French, the British, the Swedes, the Dutch, obviously America, Spain on multiple counts, everywhere in Africa, China, Japan, most of their neighbours, Turkey, Russia and around 150 countries I can't be arsed to include.

    Anybody I missed? Btw, who _do_ you trust?

    Koreans, Italians, Mongols, *every* *single* *country* in the middle east, those damn homonins migrating from southern Africa, Incas, Aztecs, those damn Clovis folk migrating over the Bering Straights...did we forget anyone?

    Yeah, it seems that the way we did it in WWII worked out better.

  24. Why they didn't just buy the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer which is designed to be configurable for different missions so they could have just ordered it with whatever features they wanted?

    I believe that is exactly what they are now doing.

  25. has glass-bottomed boats, so they can see the old German Navy.
