He is right for all the wrong reasons. There are only bad sides in this conflict.

The world will be a lot better without both those authoritarian regimes.

Not sure Iranian missiles are that advanced. Even the Soviet missiles designed to take out supercarriers only had the most basic terminal maneuverability. And those were done by fins. Even the US has only recently caught up with that level of ballistic missile tech by the mid 2000s

I thought so too, but I think the acceleration is an optical illusion due to the warhead coming in slightly towards the camera. I also don't recall any ballistic missiles carrying a terminal motor that kicks in that late.

That's usually only for cruise missiles. Gravity does a good enough job of giving the warhead speed.

I believe he is correct. You see one puff of an interceptor missing to the right, but look back up the trail of the one that hit, there is another puff on it sooner.

It also does not look like a detonation to me. More like what happens when a 500kg chunk hits the ground at Mach 2ish.

*removed* is believing that God is not evil.

I think its more a /s of disgust. If God does exist, he is evil.

Based on global reactions, I think there will be a minority of yes and no's

Then the vast majority will be "I don't care anymore"

This is actually bad for the discriminated parties as well.

The South African government is using race based restitution legislation as a vehicle for bribes and corruption. They use it as a gate keeper to make sure that only those in the good graces with the political elite get opportunities.

If you open them and start googling part numbers, you will notice that entire subassemblies are off the shelf parts from China, not just components.

The solution is not to make rules based on where something is made, the solution is to have sensible rules that apply to everyone.

A product with a German label should not spy on you, nor should a Chinese one, or an American one.

"Mediated" talks

The ones forced to go to work keep dropping.

Except you supercharge the mutation of the disease as well, so its a rinse and repeat cycle.

Yep, much like Covid. Thing went from "this could be bad and we need to consider how people can work from home" to "oh fuck! " in 3 months.

Do your planning now. Any software or service you are using today, might not be available to you 4 months from now.

Reverse the brain drain of the 1930s.
