Doctor Jeep posted:is NK really this good with weapons/rocket tech, even under crippling sanctions? North Korea is remarkably technologically advanced for what wouuld otherwise be considered a poor country in pure GDP terms. They're as technically capable of producing hypersonic weapons as any first world country, and unlike most First World countries North Korea is existentially threatened by the world's biggest superpower. So they also have all the motive to develop hypersonic weapons.

america doesn't need to worry about north korea obtaining hypersonic weapons. those are outdated compared to our state-of-the-art hydrosonic missiles

Ghost Leviathan posted:As has been said about other things, best to take with a grain of salt how much of these 'memos' are being taken literally or are anything but advisory. We're never getting a mainline Assassin's Creed game set in China because of this, this is a travesty.

indigi posted:what does the Political Work Department of the PLA do? if you want sources on this you'll have to wait while i ask a friend to dig them up, but my understanding is that the PLA is actually a very open and democratic body (and has been since its inception), and the commissar that's part of every unit is responsible for political education but also securing soldier buy-in and hashing out strategies collectively with the rest of the body. so like during the korean war there was some unit that was extremely gunshy about flying air support because of stories they'd heard about lots of planes being shot down by american AA emplacements, and there was a back-and-forth in which the unit together with its commissar looked over statistics, saw which models of bombers tended to come back when executing what kinds of attacks, etc, and then promulgated what they'd come up with to the rest of the PLA such that a notably high number of MiGs came back without a scratch. and this goes on everywhere such that the PLA doesn't even have a lot of secret strategies or w/e, if you read chinese you can just look up their doctrine online because there's ongoing discussion and debate throughout the organization

dead gay comedy forums posted:I know jack poo poo about the situation there currently, but the impression I have from my position of tremendous ignorance is that the azerbaijani govt is being a complete turbo rear end in a top hat and is going to end up getting seriously loving slapped by a iran/russia/china combo. correct? yes the azerbaijani government is acting in a very aggressive and hostile fashion, but it's an open question about them getting slapped down by anyone. for one, they are backed by turkey a very powerful country in its own right. russia would need to be careful because azerbaijan is a big weapons customer of russia, and russian energy firms do a fair bit of business in azerbaijan. there is also pipeline stuff at play although most of azerbaijan's exports to the west do not go through russia anymore. iran has pretty substantial azeri minority, the biggest ethnic group after persian. afaik they're pretty well integrated but on the other hand iran has reacted very strongly to azerbaijani irredentism so there is probably something they're worried about. at any rate this probably presents some political constraints to how iran might respond. as for china they don't do a ton of trade with azerbaijan either import or export so economically there isn't much they could do. i do not think china has the appetite or ability to get involved in a military conflict in the caucasus.

the stuff about "effeminate men" being banned or whatever doesn't really hold up to scrutiny. the mid-autumn festival gala a couple weeks ago featured performances from singers who would easily qualify for such a ban if it actually existed.

quote:Politics. A politician will say that. It’s all strategy. And as for the choice, I’d rather choose the guy willing to work with fascists than THE FASCIST. At least the power will be divided and not controlled by one dictatorial fascist. That is much much worse. And do you really think [Isko Moreno] will work 100% with the fascists? Who do you think his backers are? He may be a monster in the making, but AT LEAST he is not a PROVEN monster. I see we're now entering into the "between Hitler and Mussolini, I'd vote for Mussolini" part of liberal electoral politics

I'm mainly surprised that the MIC decided to use a well-designed, mass-produced, cheap-but-reliable input device rather than rebuilding a shittier MILSPEC version for 30x the price
