There’s hope in hard questions.

Some scary stats on China's militaro-industrail complex's capacity: - China casts more metal products than the next nine countries combined and >5× the US. - Its shipbuilding capacity is ~200× the US (a total-capacity figure, not per-ship speed). - It makes ~90% of the world's commercial drones, and controls ~80% of drone components. - Chinese civilian factories could retool within a year to produce ~1 billion weaponized drones annually using under 1% of existing assembly capacity.

This might be a long war. If it is a long war the United States should try to win it. The prerequisite for winning it is similar to what would be needed to win a war against China: Complete military reform, drone manufacturing capacity, energy resilience. Let's go.

i have a big social group in austin. most of us (not all) are right-leaning. we got banned from a local bar for whatever we were talking about (a bar we frequented regularly for 3 years). it is what it is lol

I still think we should try to win this war, and that this requires cost effective modern weapons. Conceptually 20th century navies and armies no matter how advanced do not win 21st century drone wars.
