I proved I was human on mobile without strafe. You just have to let them come to you. The wall protect you.

The contempt for democrats is justified given that they just ran a Republican campaign featuring a Cheney, a fascist border bill, and strong support for genocide. They got fucking wrecked by a fascist because people who like that shit tend to support the full strength shit and not the weak sauce. And in fact that shit depressed the base so much that Donald fucking Trump won the popular vote. Great shit there centrist Dems.

They would have been much better served by appealing to their base like they did with obamas first campaign and Biden’s first campaign. Fuck, they had Walz right there but the Sorkin brained consultants went with Cheney as the final appeal to the voters.

My cat also doesn’t test their backups regularly.

I’ve never understood why those fucking losers, the Spartans , are so loved by modern people. “If” yeah, he fucking wrecked you you slaver oligarchy that was to fucking stupid to extend the franchise to more people to keep your shit system going.

Ok I do understand. Sparta basically maps to modern America pretty fucking well in the whole oligarchy and brutalized underclass situation.

Give the weapons to the helots.

I came back into it a few months ago. I played at launch or pre launch way back in the day. But I just bought a diamondback explorer and a good frame shift setup and explored new planets. Exbiology is fun for a while, very relaxing, and very lucrative.

I laughed to hard at this

On point two you are correct only if the attacking force has air/sea supremacy like the us did in WWII. With drones I have a very hard time believing that will be the case. That is what makes it hard. Sure landings are brutal, but logistics is a nightmare when you have to supply your troops with vulnerable ships. That is why the Russian navy getting smacked about by Ukraine is so relevant.

Is Frodo a racist?

Everyone in the lead up to the Russian invasion thought Russia had a world class army (besides some analysts like Philips O’Brien). Three day invasion is how many western analysts were spinning it (Michael Koffman is the one I remember talking about this). I think it is a stretch to believe that the Chinese military is any better, especially since their last fight was, what, in the 70s against Vietnam?

Ukraine doesn’t have a giant moat around it. Taiwan does. Amphibious warfare is much much much harder than land based war. Probably by like 2 orders of magnitude at least. Keeping an army supplied in that environment is very very hard and that was before drones made defense warfare extremely effective. The US stopped supplying weapons to Ukraine for a few months last year and they held the line quite well just with their drones.

I wouldn’t want to be getting into a shooting war after seeing what Russia has got itself into. Fuck, Russia lost its fleet to a country without a navy.

Does Xi think he can keep a land army supplied in the era of drones taking out surface combatants?
