Palladium posted:I'm not gonna check, but I'm probably right when I say kind and magnanimous US of A loves kicking their sworn "allies" down to corner the arms export industry It was actually more that the project dragged on too long, to the point where the Avro, which was a mid-range interceptor, was no longer useful for modern theatres of war. Combine that with domestic politics (it was a project greenlit by the Liberal Party) and its ballooning costs, and the stage was set for the Tory PM Diefenbaker to cancel the project despite being fairly close to completion. It was an impressive feat of engineering at the time, but it was designed for a previous era of combat, and while there's always been speculation that the US had a hand it the project's shuttering, there were enough domestic reasons that every serious scholar I've read scoffs at the idea. Now what happened after, where just about every Canadian aerospace engineer had to go south of the border to find work, leaving the domestic aerospace industry effectively dead... That might have more legs as a conspiracy theory.

How much does it actually cost to take the train in China from say Beijing to Shanghai? For comparison for me to get from Newcastle to London, one of the highest speed trains in the UK if not the highest, costs £55 and takes 3 hours 15 minutes if I were to go on Monday. This is also extraordinarily cheap for the UK for that kind of distance. If I wanted to go Bristol instead it's 6 hours and £90 lol

But Winnie the Pooh is lovable and brimming with folk wisdom? He's a confident leader who doesn't demand anything, but receives the unwavering loyalty of the people. Are they saying that they love Grandpa Xi, because he is like Winnie the Pooh?

the slow train takes 14 and a half hours and costs ¥177 and up

So not dissimilar on price/time for nearly 3 times the distance. And this would be Vs the only decent train route in the UK pretty much. Newcastle to Bristol is near the same distance as Newcastle to London but takes twice as long

this guy has war fever wracking his tiny brain https://twitter.com/marceldirsus/status/1487124922115706888?t=LoN7aihptgnaVzCIflwPag&s=19 https://twitter.com/marceldirsus/status/1487128084142825482?t=aEDjGjt9nE17Nmi185f_dg&s=19 So you say Putin might be building up troops to look like an invasion might be coming as part of a negotiating strategy, rather than for an actual planned invasion? And yet he's doing things that me and all my state department friends are saying is a sure indicator that an invasion might be coming? I don't think so, tankie "if Putin just wants us to think he might invade, why would he do this thing that makes me think he might invade" e: https://twitter.com/marceldirsus/status/1487347379992944640?t=6XVpGM7Puicc_s8RXElyuw&s=19 https://twitter.com/marceldirsus/status/1487361829995266048?t=0Rw0GV8MnOyk_Jt1PSDD6g&s=19 lol XMNN has issued a correction as of 13:17 on Jan 29, 2022 |

This is also extraordinarily cheap for the UK for that kind of distance. That's not that bad, is it? Something like 400km? Looking up our best line for about 250km: Though train travel gets a lot cheaper if you do it often enough to justify a time card, down here.

Looking up our best line for about 250km: it all becomes heavily dependent on where you want to go. Bear in mind both of these journeys are similar distances to London but require rerouting through London

Which of these fit that supposed pattern? There’s that right wing revisionist history eastern europeans like that blames Stalin for WW2. Something about the Red Army being poised to invade and Barbarossa being a preemptive strike in self defence.
