Capitalism leads to overproduction and waste and violent contractions in employment? Some German guy wrote a book like that.

He should've stolen more like 35 billion and integrated his corruption into several state economies. Then he'd have senators demanding the investigation be stopped.

After looking up what the HMS Trent is armed with uh.... some machine guns. And a single 30mm. JFC. The rot has really set in if that's all the RAN got for that much money.

That's load bearing rust actually. Makes it stronger by bonding the steel, high tech paint and salt water in a new "bubbly" composite.

Gone from the world's largest navy to front line surface combatants being tankers dragging patrol boats with no ASW or anti air capability

ModernMajorGeneral posted:Lmfao The RN OPVs are theoretically fine in an environment where they are purely interdicting commercial shipping for inspections and doing routine sea stuff. Such an environment would be the waters near the homeland where I'm sure there is a lot of shipping daily. Territorial integrity etc. (I might argue that Britain has zero territorial integrity the way they keep getting swarmed by non citizens but that's none of my business) The problem comes from paying far far too much for them and also thinking that ship = gunboat, hey lets send in OPV off to push the natives around a bit.

PawParole posted:I’ve got some news about the economic system of China. Yeah I’m just saying that the whole narrative of worldwide steel production and demand being stagnant or whatever is false. It was increasing, but in China, whose government was smart enough to develop crucial industries like that domestically rather than relying on the market. And now they own the market. Many such cases!

OhFunny posted:Britian sent that warship as a show of force in support of Guyana. This is good poo poo. The reason Venezuela restarted a very old dispute with Guyana to begin with was because the regional player smells blood after the Israeli-Palestine war and knew the US empire was over stretched and this is a very good window to reshuffle the sphere of influence landmarks. India restarted fights with Pakistan; Myanmar civil war restarted. And the US empire is currently over stretched, they had to deligate some pitiful 2k toned non-corvette over, from their imperial underling, and the boat was wholly unprepared for the smallest conflict. Maybe Ansar Allah should ceremonially give Venezuela a couple anti-ship missiles. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 11:42 on Dec 31, 2023 |

Yeah, the William Lind guy is out there, even more so than a standard socially conservative military theory obsessive. Upset that the real problem with racism in America is that reconstruction was bad for the American South, not stuff like slavery and Jim Crow. Also real obsessed with "cultural Marxism" being bad for Christians and how it may cause a civil war in America. Also says that all this diversity, gay men, and women are ruining once strong manly militaries, and they must go.

I is the capital of ı, which sounds like... a little like "uh" but not quite. iOS 17 changed autocomplete so it mixes languages. good for code switching mid sentence but leads to weird results sometimes.
