It’s now being revealed that this has caused a lot more damage in Chinese relations than was first admitted. That’s because Trump isn’t simply being rude. This was insulting on a personal level by its lack of respect. It’s like catching your guest rifling your dresser draws.
The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans...
The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
Conclusion:
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
@dijoni@smirking_bitch Didn't they just announce 17 billion annually for soybeans for 3 years? 51 billion isn't nothing.
Committed to buying Boeing's?
Reopened beef and poultry markets from the US?
Nothing tho
@Carl_Dull_007@nafostrategist@stauffenbert@nicholadrummond You keep on saying "you can't do that", "it is impossible to".
Like there aren't dozens of videos of Gepards shredding drones with a half a second bursts in Ukraine.
Peace time usage tables do not equal real combat usage.
@nafostrategist@stauffenbert@nicholadrummond You cannot shoot a drone down with on salvo. AFAIK you need 80 - 100 rounds. With lowest numbers that's about 20.000 €. About the price of one Shahed/Geran drone. And besides the cost, the logistics are also complicated.
The Gepard 35 mm air defence system was developed in the 1960s and fielded in the 1970s. It’s an analog system operating in a digital world. No matter. It is the ideal system for knocking down drones of all sizes. It continues to operate like clockwork. The designers got the calibre right. 35 mm is the perfect balance between lethality, effective range, and cost per kill. Developed by Porsche, the Leopard I chassis on which it sits is robust, dependable, and easy to maintain. In fact, Gepard is an object lesson for the designers of all military hardware: when you get it right, it lasts forever.
@bud67@nicholadrummond Considering Ukraine is using quad-mounted Maxim MG's for anti-drone purposes, I think they would prefer cal .30
What they really want is M113 with a 20mm rotary cannon.
@nicholadrummond I wondered if sitting in storage in the US 🇺🇸 are them WW2 era quad mounted 50 calibre machine guns ? Would they not be an anti drone gun system. If you could team them up with a smart sight for spotting/ tracking drones .
@MoorcroftRico@nicholadrummond That one is on congress.
They made army to require using parts and chassis designed for different purposes to burn, I mean save tens of billions.
@GobstopperUK@nicholadrummond You can't make them.
Swiss government bought some of the supply chain and the Swiss support Russians, so they are trying to block every German effort at helping Ukraine.
Although this point is mute if the Afd takes over Germany. It will be Molotov-Ribbentrop all over again.
Russia is stupidly provoking WWIII by resisting the Great Power of Ukraine. Putin should stop the killing and give up territory for peace. Thanks for tuning in to the latest episode of Realist Geopolitics.
‼️UKRAINIAN DRONE DESTROYED‼️
Drones are becoming useless
Russian soldiers have figured out how to use cheap regular medium sized sticks to quickly disable lethal Ukrainian drones
Innovations like this will win the war for Russia, probably by next month
I feel terrible for some of these Uber drivers. This is why you can't get an Uber in hood. You get people that act like this and put this Uber driver though all this stress and drama.
Credit to this Uber driver for not backing down. No surprise that immediately the threat of harm or car jacking comes into play. But the Uber driver was sharp enough to remind him that all of his personal information has already been shared with Uber when he opened his account. Getting that info to the police would be a snap.
Sure mad the thug think twice about doing anything.
Call of Duty is dead.
Arc Raiders is dead.
Fortnite is dead.
Battlefield is dead.
GTA is still not out.
What is anyone even playing anymore these days?
The Iranians are telling people that they will never give up their nuclear material for American security guarantees because Trump is not honoring the security guarantees that America made to Ukraine when Ukraine gave up their nukes.
