No when I read the headline and reporting on it I legit thought that too lol, because theres also all these drone swarms around US continental bases???
Oh yeah and all the advanced material scientists and shit going missing or dieing is weird in the US??? Like, its still a country with a lot of violence but its been a handful dead or missing in weird circumstances in a short spate
Bummer, the supposed hypersonic gap was cool for a while there but I guess its not surprising the US would catch up. I know we poke fun at the US industrial capacity anemia and inability to build shit at scale but they can also make some cutting edge shit even if actually producing it at scale is more questionable.
The US could pump up Tomahawk production via some means - I dont know what exactly, but apparently the 57 they supposedly made last year isnt actually the upper limit - but its still hard to picture a US state actually bringing industrial scale production up and they havent had to lately because mostly theyve been blowing up more like classic insurgents at an extreme materiel deficit (and losing long term anyway still)
Listening to the early chapo episode about Dona Brazils book about Clinton's campaign crashing and burning reminds me why I liked it, its been so long since I heard them and felt anything but dread. I guess 2020 sucked the winds out of their sails

So what's the plan to like get them in Iran? Go through Kuwait? Amphibious D Day style landings? Drop them all paratrooper style?
Dont know how obscure it is but passion fruit is wonderful
Also I like haskap, you cant forage em but theres edible versions people farm. Saskatoon berries are very delicious and they just grow on the ground where I live! You can just pick it off a bush and eat it! The miracles of modern technology ๐
Fighting a war only on the weekends is genuinely so strange, I feel like that got hypernormalized in rapid time.
That's why they make money on comission lol, up or down who cares as long as you sell it
And its gonna beeee a long long time
Til touch down brings me back again to find
Oh no no no

Jam resistant unauthorized "criminal" drone swarms, multiple waves of em over a week. Weird story.

5 dead scientists since December, the tin foil hat one is one of em was an aliens guy apparently. Again, the US is a violent country and people die to random acts of violence.
