Black Thursday was a disaster, plain and simple.
We lost too many good people, too many planes.
We can't let that kind of tragedy happen again.

I think it's some sort of rocket or roman candle and the cannon is decorative.

Compared to an artillery trainer that tries to replicate the ballistics of an artillery shell on a smaller scale.



That's still a big rear end 14mm projectile with a significant charge.



and goes significantly further and faster than whatever's in that video

It's very murky if you can actually buy these, but quite a few seem to have been dumped on the market when NATO militaries started using Meggit simulators.

It's just good business. See why charge large figures for something which also costs a lot of money to make, when you can instead just sell them the premium box to put it in?

I hope people understand that "Moderates" and "Centrists" brought us to this place, not the far right.

This is a giant experiment in shifting the overton window to help extreme forms of capitalism, and its breaking society down in such a dramatically fast fashion that it's all so odd.

and this is such an old pattern I have an excellent quote for it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman%E2%80%93Persian_Wars

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassius_Dio

The Roman–Persian Wars have been characterized as "futile" and too "depressing and tedious to contemplate".[159] Prophetically, Cassius Dio noted their "never-ending cycle of armed confrontations" and observed that "it is shown by the facts themselves that [Severus'] conquest has been a source of constant wars and great expense to us. For it yields very little and uses up vast sums; and now that we have reached out to peoples who are neighbor of the Medes and the Parthians rather than of ourselves, we are always, one might say, fighting the battles of those peoples."[160] In the long series of wars between the two powers, the frontier in upper Mesopotamia remained more or less constant.

That quote is from 162-230AD

If we're using Mussolini as a model of the far right, even birdbrained Italian fascist corporatism required companies to produce things for the state rather than just buying back their own stock.
