@AiForgeConsult @EvaVlaar Bruvah. Dark days when you have to run your Romanian AI consulting company out of the the US. Just run it locally.

Bro. Trump trapping Zelensky in the oval office was a dark day in European history. The ceasing of aid and the lifting of sanctions against Russia, the EU's self declared enemy were all dark days. There were also cloudy days, so cloudy that they could be called dark. And all of them were much darker than Orban losing power after 16 fucking years.

@BillyM2k What if it showed a tooltip when tapping it and gave you some options?

@zerohedge Complete bullshit. These countries would be extremely excited if the US troops left. US troops are there to hold these countries as client states and order them around, not to protect them.

@ShangguanJiewen This is why the United States uses all means to smear and suppress China, they are afraid to let the people know the truth about China, because they serve the capitalists, arms merchants and Zionist, not the American people.

A week in China, for every American, seeing how better Chinese people live, without the stress of debt, would cause a revolution in the USA.
Americans don't know how bad their cost of living truly is.
Everyone needs to come see China for themselves.

If Americans see the truth about China it will cause a generational shift in how disappointed they are in their own system

@UAEEmbassyUS @AnwarGargash you might give them all your treasures, all your oil, kiss Trumps ass and bend over for him as well.
Thats what you do best, when you have lost all shame, self respect, and pride that your previous generations had is lost

@pjm090 @disclosetv Fix yours, bonds are ditched and debt is enormously high. We are doing impressively well.

@disclosetv He started the war without any voting from the congress, I’m sure as hell that he can end it whenever he wants. He’s gotta stop acting like he gives a fuck about what people think. 👍

China neighbor to introduce kamikaze drones to boost battle power | Christopher McFadden, Interesting Engineering
Japan is exploring long-range kamikaze drones and low-cost missiles in a major shift from post-war defense policy.
Japan has announced plans to raise a fleet of loitering kamikaze drones and low-cost missiles to counter threats from China (and other regional threats). According to reports, Japan hopes to develop lots of cheap, long-range (621 mile/1,000 km+) weapons that can overwhelm any potential rival in the future.
So, instead of fielding, say, ten very expensive missiles, this new strategy would see 1,000+ drones and low-cost missiles used instead. This will include other assets like submarine-launched drones, aircraft-launched drone swarms, too, all under the umbrella of an “integrated attack” plan.
This is interesting as it is yet another sign that the nation appears to be moving away from its now 80-year-long dedication to strictly defensive military posturing.
It is also indicative of growing military thought whereby quantity might well trump quality under certain circumstances; think Ukraine and the Middle East.
In case you are unaware, kamikaze loitering drones/munitions are basically small drones able to fly long distances. Named after the infamous Japanese suicide pilots of World War II, these kinds of drones can actively hunt for targets, track them, and then ram into them, detonating their explosive payloads.
Japan’s kamikaze return
Examples of them include the now-infamous Iranian Shahed-136, America’s Switchblade drones, and Russia’s “Lancet” drones. Such weapon systems are cheap, hard to stop, and have proven very effective.
And cost really is this kind of weapon’s unique selling point. While prices do vary, a good rule of thumb is around $35,000 for a decent kamikaze drone. That is significantly cheaper than something like a cruise missile that can cost in excess of $1M apiece.
So, for the price of a single cruise missile, you could buy 28-30 drones instead. When used in large numbers, such drones could, in theory, overwhelm air defenses.
As for the reported 621-mile (1,000 km) range, this is important as that would put places like Shanghai or Taiwan within range of mainland Japan. That would give Japan some very credible counter-strike capabilities if push came to shove.
This should act as a very powerful deterrent if China decides to attack Japan or its allies. But that is only part of the plan.
The concept of integrated attack really is the keystone of the strategy. In effect, this would see Japan sending swarms of cheap drones first during a strike.
The best form of defense is attack
These would, in theory, overwhelm and degrade radar and air defenses, paving the way for a follow-up strike using missiles to hit key targets. But that’s just the beginning of the story.
Japan is also reportedly planning the use of submarine-launched drones, surface sea drones, and other submersible drones, too. This is a more sophisticated take on the idea of a sautration attack as such systems are much harder to detect.
They can also be used to add extra angles of attack, making defensive actions even more difficult than they would be. Japan is also planning on upgrading it more conventional “premium” strike capabilities too.
According to reports, Japan wants to upgrade its fleet of surface ships with 1-1000-mile (1,600 km) range Tomahawk cruise missiles. If achieved, this would provide its fleet with the capability to also directly threaten mainland China and other regional players like North Korea.

@CynicalPublius It's time we adjusted to the world as it is and not live 70 years in the past.

@purecomments @rphkg @nypost Good luck in your retirement! Can I recommend Guizhou? Some of the most beautiful land in the world. Also quite cheap comparatively speaking.
