The arguments on Sloshdat tend to be very simplistic and binary. Reality tends to be rather more complex and nuanced. Religion and race are not equivalent, just like being African doesn't necessarily mean that you are black. There is also much more to Islam than Sunni and Shia. Similarly not everything Donny does is crazy - the US economy is booming and that is more important than anything else.

...Modern ejector seats cause spinal injuries from which full recovery is "unusual". Smashing the spines of pilots might not be the most effective way to boost morale.

$22,000 per hour. The F35 will be nearer $42,000 per hour. These are under-estimates, as they do not include price hikes, crashes that close businesses, crashing into businesses, crashing into heavily-populated sports centres, etc.

This isn't Reagan's "Star Wars" that was ridiculed. It's the new realpolitik.

The CCCP (essentially Russia plus Ukraine) used to put 20 mm aircraft guns in their Salyut and Mir space stations. So there has been weapons in space for a long time.

An EMP nuke in space is not very useful, since it would destroy your own equipment also. It reminds of the so called Backyard Bomb that can destroy the whole planet - probably only deemed useful by a crazy Iranian mullah. Small targeted EMP/microwave devices are useful and used against drone swarms for example.

This is about creating stock price volatility so they can make money off it and about creating new barriers to entry for newcomers.

Well, strategic business growth is very important

Iran is destroyed - the UAE is the new dominant power.

The Epp files are on the web site of the Senate Oversight Committee.

And if you still don't own US oil company stocks, then you are really special

Iran is disarmed - what more do you need?

I got the impression they were only using a single key, not dual key encryption.

With the key recoverable on the device?

Fucking amateur hour!
