I'm reminded of how both Nazi Germany and imperial Japan did accurate assessments of one another's chances and correctly concluded the other guys were totally hosed but were systemically unable to apply that analysis to themselves or their immediate enemies.

Filthy Hans posted:a lot of the Japanese knew they couldn't win a war outright against the US but thought an early strike would slow the US down enough that they could do what they wanted unfettered in Asia for a year and then negotiate a peace treaty with the US They were operating on the one swift kick principle just like Germany And just like Germany they had a few easy wins early on to convince them they were right about this This is in no way comparable to the US rolling over Iraq

Cuttlefush posted:AA missiles are just spraying out a bunch of shrapnel anyway. cannons need to be fired much, much closer. way more things that could go wrong. various other reasons. AA missile warheads usually spray out a big circle of fragments, so it's just popping the balloon with a bunch of holes. The cannon ammunition is also going to include a mix of HE incendiary ammo which (not sure if it would at the given altitude) could set the balloon on fire or otherwise blow it the gently caress up more than the AA missile would have. HE cannon rounds have impact fuses and would just pass through

They wouldn't even need to ban meat they could just ration it down to a level where they can produce enough indigenously Like seriously, most of the 'problems' that countries supposedly face are entirely just made up bullshit you can get around by just choosing to do poo poo, provided you have the autonomy to have the choice in the first place which the vast majority of countries don't.
