@avidseries Why would "economic and financial power" matter in a purely civilian war?
In that situation, if one region can effectively energize their fighting population and blitzkrieg, they win. No one starts with tanks, planes, or any military asset. Just people.
Silly hypothetical tbh.
English
Assuming it was purely a civilian conflict without any US military involvement, 3 would win.
It has more economic and financial power, and a smarter population (its mean IQ is somewhere between 5 to 10 IQ points higher than that of 2).

If a civil war broke out tomorrow who would win and why?

@Tygget It also has the added benefit to not have to explain time dilation or length contraction to the average moviegoer.

In the book Rocky has the extra fuel because his people don't understand relativity, but in the movie he's making his trip 6 years longer to save Grace.
The former is better from a worldbuilding perspective, the latter is better from a story perspective. Both reasons are great.

I feel like if you don't take the center here, your position will just end up in the crapper.

@dccommonsense They have already accomplished some key objectives. Maybe that's what they were after to start with? Maybe anything that comes next just icing on the cake.

Again, they didn't read their Clausewitz. Literally violating the entire spirit of his work "On War".

MAGA Inc. believes it has solved the “forever war” trap by divorcing war from politics. By blowing things up without a political end state in mind, it imagines it can avoid a quagmire. Instead, the U.S. has sunk even deeper into the messy business of Middle Eastern politics.

@chesscom_in Is blundering the z-axis? Because I'd be in your lap if it is.

@chitown351 @CynicalPublius @KrisGoldsm79107 Absolutely. That's what I was trying to convey. When you set milestones based on politicians' campaigns for reelection and not on actual maturity of the platform, things will spin out of control.

@AerospaceCross @CynicalPublius @KrisGoldsm79107 Trust me... It wasn't the overseas partners who caused the price overruns.
It was the same as any other massive bureaucratic government operation

For years I have been reading about how the F-35 is a stupid, vulnerable boondoggle.
Yet it appears to me that the system is flying over airspace covered by the most advanced air defense systems Russia and China have to offer, yet it is completely invisible, untouched, and accomplishing all of its assigned missions with zero aircraft losses.
Any of you current or former US military fighter jocks have thoughts?
English
@CynicalPublius @KrisGoldsm79107 It's overpriced and way behind schedule is the biggest complaint.
When you intertwine many politicians from many countries into the design and manufacturing, it will do that.

@chess_feed I had this position in a game yesterday. Unfortunately, I missed the idea.
English
There’s Only ONE Winning Move. Do You See It?
White to play!
English
@pcclytrmc @chess_feed At least this one ends your misery on the spot. 😂
English
Hikaru Nakamura - Alireza Firouzja
How black can save the game?
This is the final position of today's game FM Levitan, T (2188) - IM Haimovich, T (2314). Should White accept a draw? 🤔
English
A horrible blunder on GM level. This position was reached just after the opening in Boruchovsky, A - Rodshtein, M. What's wrong with 1.dxc5? 😎
English
White to move and win. Can you find the brilliant move? Not an easy one.
English
What very nice tactical opportunity was missed by World Champion?

@RoizMichael83 The exchange of the Knight and Bishop leads to a Rook ending won by White:
1... Rad8?! 2. Nxc5 Rd2+ 3. Ke1 bxc5 4. Rb8 Rxb8 5. Kxd2 Rd8+ 6. Ke2 Rd5 7. Rc4 +-
We get position in image
Was best (1... Ba3 2. Rc2 +/=)
English
A memorable end of my game vs GM Eric Hansen. Black's last natural move 1...Rad8 is actually a big mistake. How can White neutralize any counterplay and obtain a winning position? 🧐

@GhoshBittu @rajyoga_ @H0H0v It's the same material, same AREA; however, a different shape. Area of a circle is different equation than area of a square. Therefore they have different "I" which us used to calculate bending.
English
@AerospaceCross @rajyoga_ @H0H0v If the bench A and B are not from the same material,how will you compare it regarding bending.
