Are you saying that Iranian women don't any legitimate grievance on how they are treated by Iranian society?

I think what was being highlighted is that our government doesn't care a drop about women, or anyone for that matter, and would use this because Iran is the enemy and not for any actual liberation of women.

I'm surprised America isn't busier in Libya. They're still significantly below pre-civil war output levels.

Regarding Poseidon, does anybody know anything about how it is controlled? One thing I noticed with all these mine clearing / pipeline attacking drones is that they're run off a cable.

I’m cynically pointing out that western media focuses on the (legitimate) plight of women in countries that western capital is interested in invading.

Nothing cynical about it, it’s basic pattern recognition. If you don’t recognize “Think of the poor women of X”, or “the people of Y cry out for freedom!” as the machinations of a capitalist class looking for resources or people to exploit by now, then I wonder if you wake up every day and put your hand on a hot stove.

Well you shouldn't just leave the stove on while you're sleeping. That's dangerous!

RIDING INTO BATTLE: Canadian Cyclists in the Great War


The untold story of how Canadian Cyclists came into their own during the Hundred Days campaign of the Great War.

Canada’s Cyclists spent most of the First World War digging trenches, patrolling roads, and delivering dispatches. But during the Hundred Days campaign at the end of the Great War, Canada’s cycling troops finally came into their own.

At Amiens, Cambrai, and especially the Pursuit from the Sensée, the Cyclists made pioneering contributions to the development of the Canadian Corps’s combined arms strategy and mobile warfare doctrine, all the while exhibiting the consummate professionalism the Corps became renowned for.

i knew some bike people who made a bike bus out of fixed gear bikes, but a howitzer weighs 15,760 lbs not counting ammo and it's 24 ft long. You'd probably need a bike setup with maybe 45 pedaling stations to move the gun and have a durable frame, and i think you would only be able to move it on paved surfaces. Maybe everyone can carry a bag lunch and a couple shells on their backs while they pedal.

Vietnam's got their own missiles and some industry for it. Definitely a far cry from when it had to import more complex stuff but still not quite making carrier killers or S-300s.
