I’m more worried about North Korea’s program. Iran is, strangely, the paragon of reason and predictability - compared to North Korea.

-_-

or russian values and opinions.

very well put. thanks.

man I wish they’d keep pintrest out of google image search. yeah I know I can manually exclude their url from search but why is it there in the first place lol useless for finding reference material

that makes more sense!

what is this?

Shows Tesla doesn’t have any clue how the labour market work.

They’ve got their own problems here in the US but lax government oversight and weak state rules for labor organization hinder their ability to hold tesla liable for the nooses and robots-crushing-employees and molds exploding and other horrors.

It’s also hard to hold Tesla accountable in the public square when they “don’t have a public relations department” and shit like Musk’s poop-emoji replies to the press.

the sword is double edged, the ones you neglect will come to you when it gets bad.

you have to admit this is one hell of an edge case. the vast majority don’t have your sister’s ‘problem’

I ❤️‍🔥 my Element though.

I’m hoping to EVify mine. Unless Honda makes an electric one, which case they’d have my money in an instant, I just want to keep this handy compact mofo going forever.

I so want to EV-ify my Honda Element. I’ve never met a vehicle that had it’s same compact/utility/ease of use combination, and Honda ain’t even making them no more…

yeah I have no doubt iran /whomever has a long long way to go in their development, just don’t want to see all ballistics derided because they change the intercept game mightily.

the high angle of attack reduces opportunity for intercept by all but the most advanced and expensive systems. it may seem counterintuitive, but we’re not dealing with 1960s ballistic missiles, we can now guide during terminal descent.

Nordic countries represent small markets that purchase far oversized numbers of EV’s compared to other places. 1500/m shipped is nothing to scoff at lol.

oh don’t worry buddy I’m sure we’ll still find some assholes or innocents to bomb, we’re industrious like that, whole network of spy sattelites up there just peekin’ and peeping for someone doing something fuckity that disagrees with our freedumbs.

never fails bud.

We need to figure out ways to reorient China’s ambitions from an impossible ask - Taiwan, the 9-dash-line, and the South China Sea, and point out the obvious low hanging fruit, that wouldn’t require force projection / airborne and naval landings, and a world class navy to oppose literally every other country in the pacific, and invest those resources where they could gain massive ground, repatriate ethnic chinese and repatriate Chinese cities that they were forced to give up and still want back, like Vladivostok. Russia is sick. China is already pushing for greater influence in the -stan countries - the move only requires a will for China to head north, capturing enormous amounts of land, resources and new citizens / customers for it’s industries. And unlike the Pacific, I don’t know that many will want to save them after the last few years… I don’t see Belarus scrambling resources to send to defend Irkutsk.

it was called patriotism! the founding fathers would have wanted us to horde gold.

China. Eventually the russian losses will present too tempting a target to China, which is already seeking deeper ties with the -stan countries. Also, China still wants Vladivostok back.

geeze get over your preconceptions about europeans, they have words for yes and no…

yikes

Trying. Really am. Both in my personal life and in my political advocacy. But I stand by my premise, if any survive, they’ll curse us for ages.
