I’m not sure Europe can make F35 parts for example, which will not fly for long without it, or ammunitions for various US weapons. I hope it’ll be a wake up call to make and use EU instead.

No. I mean the weapons they have now. F35 for example. If a war happens in Europe, will those planes be useful without US support and authorizations? US can do a lot of harm to Europe with that.

The biggest thing will be all those nato countries who can’t do anything with their US weapons if the US says so.

And thus, instead of fighting the actual enemy, the republicans, you’re antagonising the people who are more reasonable. Next time you can do it like France and call leftist crazy extremists so you’ll seem less hypocritical about it.

I see two reasons for Russia to accept a cease fire : they are happy with what they took and want to keep it, so a cease fire is better because there is no treaty to give back anything ; or they want a bit of time to rebuild their supply of ammo and equipment before they go back at it.

The first one would be if the US continue to support Ukraine. It would make it like the west is now supporting the war while Russia is asking for peace (totally hypocritical of course). Russia could stand on its positions and solidify them if it’s accepted. If Ukraine continue the war, it’ll be Ukraine on the offensive, which is a harder position.

The second one would be if Ukraine loses US support and ask for a cease fire after the dombass is fully taken. Russia wouldn’t be armed to take it to rebuild it’s supply before going again. The risk here would be that nato or UN send forces in Ukraine, and if Europe take this time to increase its weapon production too, but those are unlikely on a short term.

My guess would be that they wa’t to settle the frontiers as far as they possibly can to keep as much territory as possible with a cease fire that can become a frozen frontier. If Harris wins, they can ask for a cease fire, and then will the US and Europe deny it? If Trump wins, Russia can probably take the whole dombass rapidly before accepting a cease fire from Ukraine.

It’s all speculation though.

I’ve seen a video about an ammunition being developed to be adapted to the underbarrel grenade launcher. Problem is that it needs to be ready if you any chance at it, and you only have one chance.

Second problem is that most Russian soldiers are barely trained and equipped anyway, they’re just litteral canon fodder. Elite troops certainly have something to fight drones, but I suspect jamming would be the first layer. The video we see are most probably against the canon fodder.

Russians don’t care much about friendly fire.

Isn’t that like buying votes?

Well, they’re probably killed if they refuse the order. And more importantly even, their family and relatives are probably threatened too.

They’re dead the moment they sign for the job. And they probably discover it rather fast.

The problem with solar panels is that they produce energy the most when you least need it, and they produce the least when you most need it. Fuck the market. It’s a resource storage and production management problem.

Horse archers, or skirmishing units in general, are countered by archers or siege units. Unless the game is wildly unbalanced it always works.

One exception to it : fascists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it’s good for them too.

You might as well warn about the sun eating the earth and turning it into hell. It’s not too soon, only 5 billion years left.

And yet 2 centuries ago some people were already thinking, exactly like you, that there was too many humans for the earth to sustain them. You can see how wrong he was. The fact that you refuse to learn from past mistakes is quite telling though.

Si la macronie explose, le NFP n’a pas besoin d’inclure des centristes. Il peut y avoir un nouveau groupe de centre gauche qui coopère avec le NFP comme LIOT le fait régulièrement

You know who thought like you? Thomas Malthus. 2 centuries ago.

No nuclear accident has the ability to end life on earth. It is not a possibility.

And humans in the past would regularly suffer from famine and epidemic, and child death was crazy (as was mother death during birth).

You probably missed the part were current AI are reproducing inequalities already.

Meanwhile middle age fantasy had black knights and it was fine.

Racists are gonna be racists is all there is.
