Every season of Survivor I hope for the contestants to vote off Jeff Probst because his challenges exist only to divide the tribe and create conflict.

quadcopter type drones have their limitations, and the more ubiquitous they become the more R&D will be put into defeating them. At the end of the day though any war will require something to take and hold ground which is something air power of any kind simply can’t do on its own, so mobile heavy weapons make a lot of sense deployed alongside infantry for that purpose, whether that’s in the form of a drone, or a light or a heavy traditionally-piloted vehicle.

in twenty years warfare will be flying drones, drone tanks, drone arty, drone AA, and trenches full of conscripts being shot at by the robots.

I wanna visit the Indus Valley Civilization and see what they were about. If I’m not changing history I’m just gonna be a temporal tourist, hosting a livestream where I ask Romans where the best fast food is at and stuff.

I played guitar for the first time in like ten years the other day, had fun but also felt like crap because I couldn’t do anything on it.

It could disavow Israel and stop working with it. That’d be nice. Plus like 90% of the world is anti-Israel at this point so it would only piss off America and Israel and Germany.

I agree with you in the broad strokes, but I couldn’t let this fly

the information you have access to is nothing compared to what the people leading China have access to

This was a bad argument when the Dubya defenders made it regarding the War on Terror, and it’s a bad argument now. Regardless of what information the Chinese leadership has access too, I think it is clear that a) China has room to make bigger moves on the international stage than it is currently making and b) many of the moves it is currently making unnecessarily err on the side of caution/imperial collaboration to the detriment of the global socialist project.
