You mean Russia, China, and the USA all have missile interceptor programs they're pouring money into, and pretending they're having successful interceptions of ICBM targets? And at the same time, Russia and China are developing new MIRVs and other systems to evade US missile defenses which don't work?
I believe they've destroyed around 6 of around 40 launchers, and a couple radars. regardless, the Russia air force is still staying close to the border and lobbing glide bombs before immediately deploying countermeasures and afterburning back to friendly airspace.
China already has a mutual defense treaty with North Korea
Russia signed a mutual defense pact with North Korea in 2024, so perhaps Russia could be brought in already with a WWI style web of alliances.
True. so far, it looks like China is slightly increasing their stockpile, but increasing the sophistication of their delivery systems. I also think it could be possible that during the final year of escalation, Russia and China sign a mutual defense treaty.
I think it's plausible the US would use it's regional proxies to full effect and support Islamists overthrowing Pakistan and directing them to launch their nukes at China.
$25 billion can buy 50 new Patriot batteries (200 Launchers with Radars, command centers, etc) which would be a substantial defense for coastal infrastructure and facilities like Intel's Arizona campus.
Gordon Chang, but he's a white guy named Gao Chandler, and he predicts America will collapse every year.
$150 Billion US defense increased, focused solely on arming up for a doomsday battle with China in the 2030s.
I guess I need to write a disclaimer about Perun: He's a smug liberal commentator from Australia (the ideology, I don't know what party he votes for in elections), though his gaming channel is pretty comfy. He has a degree of western bias, and has been invited to high profile international weapon conferences. He does attempt to cover conflicts neutrally however.
Some big points I notice:
Early humans in Australia would've encountered 7 meter long Komodo dragons. They are believed to have been the largest known venemous vertebrate and been capable of sprinting at 10 km/h
Why does Morocco and other anticolonialist want the return of Spanish Exclaves?
Iberian ownership of Ceuta is older than Turkish ownership of Istanbul. it's been continually occupied since then, and Morocco ceded it by treaty in 1860. It feels to me like Spain has a better claim on Ceuta and Mellila than Britain does on Gibralter, and the Falklands, and Than Morocco does on Western Sahara,
Is this a bit?
Last I heard, I thought they were going forward with the M8 light tank, which seemed like a decent performing design that's been around for a while. I was confused why this isn't that, but a entirely new tank that managed to be designed and adopted without my ever hearing about it.
It...It's you! THE HE/HIM-RO OF KVATCH!
the absolute state of Westoid press: "Johnny Somali, is a 24-year-old live-streamer who hurls provocative and offensive insults while traveling abroad, including in U.S. allies South Korea and Japan."
A spokesperson for a Seoul prosecutors’ office said Ramsey Khalid Ismael, popularly known as Johnny Somali, will face trial and is banned from leaving the country.
Thank you NBC. It's absolutely vital people know the military disposition of the countries a vlogger is being racist before we judge them.
