sullat posted:Well yeah, but presumably there's a difference between a torpedo going off under the hull and a missile impacting above the waterline. Id choose to eat the missile 100% of the time. D-Pad posted:Saw a video of f15 fighter pilots scrambling to respond to a Russian fighter in whatever area they were in. It showed them running out of the building they were in, getting into a van, and being sped over to the hangars their planes were in. Overall it was a pretty quick process but I got a really good laugh at the top comment pointing out that the mission timeline lies in the hands of a 2018 Ford Transit. That vehicle is a load bearing part of the military, and unironically more valuable than most war machines. Ted Wassanasong has issued a correction as of 22:25 on Mar 19, 2024 |

We'll call it therapeutic rehabilitation. Because that's the best case outcome for any survivors. So they better loving like it if they want to support it.

Yeah, I have estimates from papers of about 5 billion from a full exchange, the vast majority from starvation. Some of this may be helped if more centralized government institutes emergency measures and mass build green houses, but the cities are getting destroyed and the radiation really isn't the main issue. There was a time when there was a push to assure that the dust cloud wouldn't be so bad, but it is. Otherwise, the southern hemisphere would do modestly better, still experience widespread starvation. ------------- There is an interesting case to be made that specifically Moscow might make it out better than many would think. Part of the ABM treaty was that each side could build 2 localized ABM systems, the US never built theirs (proposed to be in Dakota but SSBNs turned out to be more important), while the ABM system around Moscow was put into operation. It was recently modernized with better missiles. The interesting thing about the Moscow system is that it is the only system that is allowed to actually put nukes on its missiles, it is "hitting a bullet" with a tactical nuke, with 68 active interceptors (plus about 18 inactive). I guess the question is if 1. it works, and 2. if the US would actually try to saturate Moscow's defenses with much of its first strike while the Russians are more practical with their targets.

DJJIB-DJDCT posted:Nobody really knows what will happen when a modern weapon impacts a modern warship. Design since the 60's has been largely speculative based on what might happen when an unarmored, but tightly compartmentalized, ship is hit by few missiles rather than many shells. The Falklands was pretty shocking, but when British damage control worked and was able to put those compartments to use, not as bad as the worst fears of the missile age. I remember the dogfucker brigade being incredibly insistent that American carriers are so fundamentally hard to sink that the US navy "tried to for months and didn't manage it and had to scuttle it. They genuinely interpreted a series of small scale tests to get a sense of the effectiveness of various weapons as an all out attempt to sink one, carried out with the full might of the US navy brought to bear.

Covid was literally worse than battlefield chemical weapons, and probably most actual biological weapons, so they just need to turn up the dial on the consent machine.

Something that I think is critical to understand is that while tankies consider many American wars to be defeats, this is a fringe opinion. Both the majority of people, as well as all decision makes consider: -Vietnam to have been an American victory -Korea to have been an American victory -Iraq to have been an American victory -Afghanistan to have been an American victory -Ukraine to be an American victory There is no risk if history proves you never lose!

I remember being in a pub the night before local lockdown and it was all everyone talked about. Never saw a general population so terrified. The Stand even came up. Then the whole thing was just a wet fart in the scheme of things. Safe to say some lasting effects.
