Security concerns would be a more legitimate concern. I'm guessing every Intel agency is going to pick it apart to its constituent parts to look for bugs before its put to use.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to think no one will figure out who you are if they go digging, and then intentionally antagonize people.

And of course it's a brown, Iranian maybe?

A lot of what they do is ITAR/Non-proliferation regulated. Literally can not hire uncleared foreigners.

So did Trump meme this into reality?

If they nuke each other not only will it be an act of environmentalism, much of the ocean pollution will stop coming out of their rivers, it will be a victory for the climate change people.

No need to block the sun in the UK, the particulates from that exchange will do it for the whole world for decades. Removing a statically significant portion of 1.5+ billion people should make the co2 people happy to, and the overpopulation and resource scarcity people.

I simply can't see a downside here.

Saw it in theater on Friday on my own. One other person was there to see it.

But it was good. I'm expecting more and better things now that the people who spent two decades of war start putting their visions on screen.

Honestly, go watch it in theater. The volume of the gunfire is at the edge of hearing safe, it's as much a physical experience as a visual one at times.

The claim MI5 is involved isn't shocking either. Someone has to cover for the elites if they keep fucking children, and it makes great leverage.

Can't have people spill the beans on judges, politicians or royals.

Never forget that the police were repeatedly notified by clubs around Scotland that the Dunblane school shooter was weird and unwanted, as they all kicked him out in turn. And there were accusations from boy scouts he didled them.

Allegedly, before the shooting, someone asked the chief firearms officer why they hadn't taken his guns after clubs kicked him out, and were told there was no point cause he was friends with judges and police leadership and would have them back in a week.

Even worse is the savagely bloodthirsty comments of your average normie under the videos.

When it comes to public use of speakerphone, I like the theory that people mimic what they've seen on shows like the Kardashians where the production wants to hear both sides of the conversation.

So now NPCs walk around with their phone in their palm blasting the conversation, and they do it because they've seen it done on TV.

Recently came across Combination K https://youtube.com/@combinationk?si=FP7VAX8XnJfZeD1T

Documenting and presenting a lot of primary source info on Soviet Cold War equipment and tactics. Niche interest that is not greatly served in English

Beating fudds over the head with all their sacred cows and stupid shit is a worthy endeavor.

They did a number on the Thompson as well.

Type 56: the story of China's army

https://youtube.com/@type56_ordnance_dept?si=G1SvH27oHR28h7Hn

Started out just as a channel to explain why the ChiComs kept the Type 56 SKS in service as its primary rifle into the 1980s, despite having AKs. Has grown into a bigger project explaing China, the Chinese and the PLAs history and development.

Guy is very enthusiastic and a decent lecturer, even though his effects budget for explaining PLA infiltrator tactics amounted to one towel, a box of oreos and some jelly beans he made his point well. https://youtu.be/yr39m8iEZow?si=mMAPJdzbMa__H-vu

I think they'll find people a lot less patient this time around. And the threshold for violence will be even lower. And Trump 2 doesn't have to hold back as much as they did in Portland during the literal siege of the federal courthouse.

It'll be fun to watch online.

Honestly Crimea might be the thing he can get back. Black Sea is no longer viable as a Russian navy base, and with that its value to Russia is zero. The Ukrainians have also cut water since 2014, meaning there has been no irrigation for agriculture for a good decade.

If Ukraine was going to get anything back, it's Crimea. The Russians are more likely to insist on a buffer zone of some sort in the Eastern parts.

Dude makes excellent videos. Can't understand how he did all this research and modelling in just months.

I think it might fetch something like 100k more than that if it was listed. Anything that sold in the last year or two that I looked at went 100k over Zillows estimate of just a few years ago.

It's wild to see how sudden the price/value estimate spikes though.
