At what point do people think they're going to realize they've been rooked about this? General question. Like a daily show segment on how awful it was but you know, what can you do?

Yes they are aiming at something, the enemy position is where it is and these industrially produced bits of sunshine are modifying the landscape and the people there in. We will not know poo poo for years unless a nationally significant organization plots it all down.

seems like in real life they can just use regular surface to surface missiles, why would they need to make the millennium challenge real when the us still hasn't invented a stealth

The problem with aircraft carriers, and not really a topic for this thread, is all it takes is one brave diesel sub running on batteries and its gone by default. Not a high bar. All those escorts and things aren't for show but still, that's all it takes.

Not a high bar. that was the whole idea of the millennium challenge as far as anyone can figure, wasn't it? to have some combination of superscience poo poo strapped to an aircraft carrier where it won't get sunk the moment it enters the Persian gulf? but it turns out that as long as you know where it is and have enough explosives that's not really possible

Orange Devil posted:Liberals will never learn that nazis lie. They just want to be lied to. -------- Also as far as casualties go as well, remember it isn't just Bakhmut that is a meat grinder but there is firing going on across the entire line including across the river into Kherson. Most of the casualties per day are probably just some random dude getting hit with a mortar outside of a town you haven't heard of. Bakhmut is just the worst of it. It is why I think the Russian strategy is as it has been just to shell and move up to take more strategic portions of the line to force the Ukrainians to devote more forces to specifically weak sectors to shell them even more. The problem is we only can get bits and pieces of news about what is occurring, but yeah I don't think the Russians have a deadline. It very well may be when the mud dries that you just seem more aggressive local movement here and there than a dramatic second invasion. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 12:54 on Mar 19, 2023 |

Tankbuster posted:how well was NOLA rebuilt after Katrina? i live in NOLA. Chalmette etc in the east got wiped out and is now "the ghetto" where all the poor people got sent. Driving through NOLA many areas did get repaired and are fully livable but theres still just some random areas here and there that got hosed up and left condemned. Anyways a lot of new Orleans is also under some weirdly permanent form of construction thats unrelated to the hurricane, e.g. they'll rip up all the roads in an entire neighborhood to repair the sewers, but the sewer work isnt scheduled so the roads are left ripped up for one or two full years. And you have to park like a half mile from your house. Literally feels less developed in some parts than my aunt's neighborhood in Jakarta lmao. Its a shame that the city has a real vibe and decent universities nearby but is so mismanaged. Theres cool things people dont know about NOLA such as the large Southeast Asian, particularly vietnamese, population here that makes it a bit of a melting pot. I've had the best pho I've ever had from some mom and pop place in one of those destroyed streets, and got an Indonesian restaurant (really rare in the US).

Yeah, it's just the weirdest thing to me - the astonishing disjoint between the apocalyptic language that our leaders use to talk about Ukraine vs the completely casual material response, with no attempt at all to mobilise Western nations for a Ukrainian victory. No ramping up of key industries, no conscription, no, I dunno, War bonds... just nothing.
