I don't think there'll be a military response by the US. But I wouldn't be surprised if Biden announces he's reconsidering giving Ukraine the F-16, and/or increasing the number of Abrams/Bradley's they're getting.

From what I can remember of organic chem, platinum catalysts are the **** when it comes to gases. Though I can't remember why - perhaps its because they are largely inert themselves. -
The US military isn't prepared to fight a land war with China. We're prepared to fight an air and naval war.

If China invades Taiwan, there will not be time to send the Taiwanese air/missile defense. China is going to hit them hard and fast, and possible US assets in Guam and Japan as well.

There was a shock effect for sure, but I think they have mostly been worked around. Its really hard to stop third party purchases and the West isn't the only game in town when it comes to alot of goods. It appeared not to effect their oil revenues at all, and indeed may have backfired https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/07/business/russia-oil-embargo.html?auth=login-google1tap&login=google1tap So Biden was right in that the sanctions on Russia oil would not do much ... Gee I wondered who pressured him to apply them

A bomb with a delayed fuse could have been planted in the pipeline while it was still above ground (say around St. Petersburg). I thought there was evidence the explosion was internal (came from inside)

Name something you learned embarrassingly late in life.

Whoever thought left exits were a good idea should be horsewhipped. This was a huge part of the reason the Springfield interchange was such a mess for years -

I watched and played ice and roller hockey for years and didn’t realize how a slapahot actually worked. When I tried shooting one they had zero power -
I suppose the most cost effective way to take out the high altitude balloons is probably another balloon with offensive weaponry. Smaller, purpose built missiles might be best.

They serve no functional purpose anymore. Supposedly at one point they became fashionable because some elite cavalry unit in a Europe would tie their cloaks around their necks in this manner. I think we also need to do away with the full suit in warm weather at least.

The A-10 isn't much better than the SU-24 which they already fly. The problem is that they can't gain air superiority (neither side can ATM). The A-10s would be worthless in an environment where they can be shot down by SAMs or enemy jets.

No, some of them actually work … And it’s a side effect of certain other popular prescription drugs as well … Did you mean male physical enhancement products ?
-
That’s starting from absolutely nothing. I’m wondering how much of that is topics like tactics, which experienced tankers don’t really need and probably doesn’t even apply

It did run over a few Iraqis in Desert Storm https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-09-12-mn-2959-story.html Pretty gruesome tale that didn't get alot of media play

Because Marcus Johansson will be key to the cup run this year
-
That wouldn't pass the BS meter for the Germans. However I don't understand why we can't just send say, a company (about 14 tanks) as a trial run, to see if they can be useful. And yeah I think its a bit nonsense to **** at the Germans for not sending the Leopard, while also claiming the Abrams won't work for them.
-
I guess this another way of saying that our defensive kinda sucks. Which I would agree with. Kuemper bailed us out big time vs. the Isles when they easily could have put us away with 6 goals. Sadly I don't think that will be enough for a Cup run, but I suppose anything is possible.
-
Huh? Vanechek, Samsonov and Copley play for other teams now. Last year they were pretty forgettable on the Caps, so who's to say its the not the system they're playing in. Right now the choice is between Kuemper and Lindgren. Lindgren is 2.62 GAA with a 91% SP. Kuemper is the better option.

Darcy Darcy Darcy Kuemper He makes a our team A whole lot better Inspired by KITH sketch

We could materially sustain it but theres like 5000 guys on a carrier. Not sure how many would be able to get out and if the US public would feel it would be worth it - and losses would come all at once not nickel and dimed like the Taliban.
-
I think we still have the advantage in subs and ASW Our carriers probably wouldn't ever actually enter the SCS, but they don't have to in order to project power. Its still possible we lose one depending on which targets China prioritizes. I'm not sure I buy they would go after US assets from the get-to in any Taiwan invasion scenario. They would wait until we took some action before they strike.
-
China's population is set to crash in the next 10-20 years. Decades of the one child policy and a favoritism towards having boys ensured that.
-
I don’t mean to brag, but I turned that game on halfway through the second when it was 3-0 Isles … Keeper really bailed us out tonight. Isles easily could have had 5 or 6 goals. Though I missed the first theee the Isles scored…

What's 100% a scam, yet still accepted by society?

Not the fault of the amendment that people don't read it. -
