In other words - not merely looks of the photographer, also scenario fulfillment (and any hypothetical contagious shooting wouldn't help) - carrying out, under pressure, an ingrained scenario as if it was reality; despite some sensory information contradicting it.
Good thing small digicams are getting ever more decent... (but when they will be next, in Kuwait / etc.?)
Well, you can always convince yourself that tactical systems such as Patriots are an equivalent to (briefly deployed) Safeguard Program. Or currently deployed Russian A-135 (and A-35 previously)
Similarly, I can get behind the wheel of virtually any car and do OK because the interface is pretty standard. Ignition, gas pedal, brake pedal, steering wheel, spedometer, etc.
Well, since most of the cars on the planet have also clutch pedal, you might be in for a little surprise...;p
It's not East Prussia, it's Kaliningrad Oblast (also Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship; elsewhere - West Pomeranian, Lubusz, Silesian and Opole ones; elsewhere again - Kresy)
FFS, don't meddle with sanctity of European borders after WW2, we don't need this shit (oh right, Kosovo; too late...)
It's really curious in Poland in this regard - Russia is this old, sleazy entity not to be trusted. Somehow nobody mentions how we're the only ones who held Moscow/Kremlin for a few years. And of course popular understanding of partitions in XIX century omits how, on the Russian part, they were almost a personal union - until hardline feudal separatists frakked things up.
(but it wasn't merely scorched earth in WW2, not close)
Resource distribution only short-term, when taking large amounts of energy and land from the past (stored in fossil fuels) or the future (spoiling the surroundings). We are above this 2.1, on average
With Korea and Vietnam it's basically moot and arbitrary anyway - back then each side was just as bad as the other. But one was on "our side"...
(Taliban is of course even better, with us supporting them for a long time specifically to destabilize the region / Soviet-supported governing entity...which we now support ourselves; and don't forget how US ambassador essentially gave a green light for Iraqi invasion of Kuwait)
Russia has incredibly low population density, for its resources - in fact, lower than the average of the planet. Whole planet, including oceans and Antarctic.
(that might mean the "stuff" could start happening mostly around their territory; and Russia probably still prefers to orient itself at least more with Europe than with China, of which this story might be an example - especially considering how China seems to be able to work better with Muslim world and large part of Africa)
It was much closer to the right word when that page was written, almost 7 years ago; basically. Plus - choosing, in the meantime, to cooperate on R-7, instead of using own tech, does look like admission of something...
The Shuttle has a bit over 100 tonnes... (it's not a single stage to orbit after all - and we probably won't really have this for some time - considering how fabulous an ordinary rocket ends up, if using technology comparable to what is required to make SSTO even barely possible)
That gamma observatory certainly wasn't the heaviest - few years older Almaz-T was ~18.5t, Proton satellites from the 1960s already ~17t, so I guess there were quite a few heavier ones, on both sides (also, wasn't Titan IV already available during launch of Compton Observatory? Then there was Proton, and Energia was still operational - so hardly "too heavy for any rocket at the time";p )

Really, look up the situation in the 3 decades after the '53 coup... (if only then, of course)
It might very well burn a lot less than the same thing done in software.
Atom would almost certainly win handily

Most people are ultimately comfortable with their worldview (even scary one) / need to largely be...supplanted, die out, for the world to improve.

When their carriers will show up in the Gulf of Mexico, we should be only happy how other powers are following our example.
Us here in Poland think the previous show with missile shield was moronic.
Yeah, and he is far from supportive of this deal. Curious how this Russia running ends up...
Russia is the only place with fully operational nuclear missile defense technology...
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

I wonder what would you say at some play on both sides by entities closer home...
(those "nuclear capabilities" are fully controlled BTW, and missiles...we supplied them comparable tech)

Nowadays Iran? It's a constant thing for them, with maybe some chance of breaking away from it before the 1953 coup d'etat that we supported.
Russia may eventually end up becoming an ally.
Ah, just like in the days of uncle Stalin... (well, after we dropped the idea of invading them, few years after 1920)
Most of those that you mentioned are allies right now, you know...
Isn't this case of UI / "way of presenting things" patents? I'd say that visual art can easily cover such...

Whole of Asia, basically. And one was moved to a place apparently suited to covering western part of the EU, hm...
