Because they are literally too stupid and self-absorbed to understand the concept that their enemies are capable of retaliation.

I don't mean to sound overly schizo but a lot of these people really do have the mindset that they, as white Americans, have a supernaturally bestowed dominion over the earth. They think that other nations and ethnic groups exist solely to have brutality inflicted upon them by American whites whenever and for whatever reason they want. They think that in this sense, they are the only things that are fully real, insofar as everyone and everything else exists only as captive minds to be tormented at will for their entertainment.

Obviously most don't literally think this, but that is nevertheless their mindset.

So of course they can't understand the concept of proportional retaliation. In their minds, it's like if a person tried to warn you that a lab rat was going to launch dozens of MIRVs at you in retaliation for having its neck broken.

It's really not worth it to dwell on these people's claims too much. They don't reflect pentagon plans anyway, which are drawn up by smart and sober minded people. Just move on.

I'm surprised they can think this, when in WW2 IJA had beheading contests and death marches with their troops, their own Senator John McCain died with a painful disability from being tortured by the Vietnamese military after capture and hundreds of thousands of them are either dead or crippled due to their aggression since 1945.

I believe that the reason that they're much more hesitant to go to war against Russia, other than MAD, is that they know for a fact that Russians are pretty brutal, as proven by their track record in WW2 and Afghanistan.

Many literally think that the real world is like a cartoon: there are 'good guys' and 'bad guys' and the 'good guys' always win. either the 'good guys' can just shoot their way out of a bad situation, or if they get overpowered, they can talk their way out of a bind with the 'bad guys', and then immediately stab the 'bad guys' in the back.

Did anybody ever manage to download the audio or transcript of patchwork's interview before it got taken down?

Apparently someone here did (don't ask me, I didn't). However, for obvious reasons, they probably won't share it. After all, the dude is still here (albeit in a greatly reduced capacity), and we don't want to lose him to the alphabet soup for real over the not-so-recent intel community freak out (lol Discord).

At least the gist of the podcast is still somewhere in this forum.

Very stupid question everyone claims that j-20 delta configuration is "less stealthy" I'm that stupid to ask does anyone know what material the conards are made from ? Or at least any speculation on the topic cause I'm reading more and more papers from china about RCS reduction via composites and im starting to think that most of the people in the wild are wrong about the j-20 RCS in general

There are like 5 J-20 streams that talked about this to death, read one of them.

the death toll is now 93 after the wildfires in Hawaii. how did the wildfire spread so quickly and where were the national guard and USarmy?

it just feels so weird. during national disasters in China such as the wildfire in Chongqing and the floods this year and 2021 the PLA would always be there to assist in disaster relief.

Any updates on the rumours about Metholox sterling engine designed for SSK?

Yeah, too bad Maui is not in Ukraine
Maybe the governor can blame the wildfires on China or Russia, then DC will listen

So has anyone here watched Oppenheimer? I did and thought it was great. One thing that I'm not 100% sure on is if they A bond were survivor design ed for nazi Germany. In the movie it was implied so and that Japan was just luck of the draw last moment decision thing because Hitler surrendered/died b4 testing.
While it may be true that Germany was the intended target I like to think Japan was always in the crosshairs as well.
I dont think it was a sudden last minute decision as the movie implied.
Anyway just a academic thought out loud if you will... what happened has happened.

We have a movie thread that a few members have expressed their review of Oppenheimer.

Movies in General

I can't wait to see this film: Napoleon. Although Joaquin Phoenix is a bit tall to be playing Napoleon but he is a good actor. :) Hmm...I am not sure if this movie is going to be good based on the preliminary analysis by this fella from HistoryLegends Youtube channel take on this movie...
