HonorableTB posted:I'm slightly surprised that cyberwarfare hasn't been a bigger deal than it has been so far. There was a big burst of cyberattacks at the beginning of the war but that seemed to stop pretty quickly and the last I remember hearing about the advanced persistent threats it was a news article about Ukraine tracking a hacker team back to their actual office and then launched a hellfire missile through the window and smoked them all One article suggested that all the russian cyberwarefare research teams leaked like hell, and so they didn't have any novel exploits in reserve for government use - everything they discovered for years immediately went into various pieces of russian ransomware etc.

Drone_Fragger posted:The swiss government are being tiny bitch babies about this and claiming neutrality means you cant supply arms to anyone in a remotely contentious war, and I know the government statements have pissed off a lot of arms manufacturers worried about swiss arms being unreliable or second rate because of this. They have an easy diplomatic excuse to maintain their 'neutral' stance and still ship weapons. Just say that Russia can't complain because according to Russia there is no war, just a "special military operation", and Swiss policy only cares about actual wars. As far as precedents go, it's trivial for a country to avoid fitting in that loophole - just call it a 'war' when you invade.

The problem with assessing paraguay numbers is that there are only few censuses of the population before and after the war, and none of them are reliable or particularly consistent with each other. Scholars vary from 7% to 70% deathrate largely depending on which ones they pick to believe

Drone_Fragger posted:For reference as to "how many Abram's does the USA actually have", congress repeatedly orders them more tanks (because of the tank factories variously located in congressmen's districts and hence pork barelling :hogwilde:), which the Army is repeatedly begging them not to buy, as they're having to spend more of their budget on maintaining and repairing tanks they didn't ask or want, in a depot in the middle of a desert. I literally think at this point they could give away like 1000 abrams and the us army would be happy about it because they could move several thousand support staff away from doing nothing. Though this war has proven that actively maintaining the capability to make new military vehicles is actually still important.

Executive meddling, writers keep changing and whenever ratings drop they keep trying new arcs like the Terror War or Plague Year and then they just sputter out without a real resolution.

Warbadger posted:The best part of the whole thing is when they finally made it to the final stretch of their journey right next to Japan in the Tsushima Strait they mis-identified the Japanese fleet as Russian, identified themselves, and promptly got sunk. Identified themselves and sent their entire battle plan to the Japanese ship.

I believe those were used as targeting beacons, eapecially by special forces, with the secondary effect that pilots who got shot down were taught to identify the correct turds and squeeze them in morse code.

sebmojo posted:Zelensky was a tv comedian who got elected as a joke lmao that's kind of understating how surreal it is He's a tv comedian who wrote and starred in a series where a normal guy's rant about political corruption went viral, and the disgruntled public gets him elected with over 60% of the vote. That series went viral, which meant the disgruntled public got him elected with over 70% of the vote. He's the only man this has ever happened to twice.

Randarkman posted:Corruption in the Soviet Union was far worse than just that. Even so it is astonishing how the things the USSR were world leaders in (like crystal growth) ended up being raided and totally destroyed by modern Russia. And this is with the USSR's greatest crystal scientist, AA Sternberg, getting kicked out of the institute he founded because he got into a scientific argument with a chemist who had connections. Sternberg 'lied on his resume' by not reporting that he had been one of the engineering students recruited by the government to help build the Volga canal, which was suspicious because the workers were a hotbed of dissent and suspicious figures (the Gulag inmates government had used as forced labor). Eventually someone even higher said "I have an important crystal project, get me your best man", the other scientist said "okay, but he's doing apartment construction right now", and the highup said "why the hell is he doing that" and reassigned him back. Like this is a low loving bar to be less competent than. Tunicate fucked around with this message at 18:23 on May 16, 2023 |

The russian cyber estimate was based on 'wow if russian criminals have this sort of powerful hacking tools and exploits, imagine what the really good stuff the state intelligence agencies are researching and stockpiling is like' Turns out it was exactly the same stuff.
