This is the only comment that matters in this thread.
The US currently can only put 50 something hulls in the water, so even if they ALL somehow converge on TW, that's not enough to keep that factory busy for more than a week.
Also to contrast, equivalent Tomahawk production is down to 55 last YEAR, despite current urgency. Plus the Ike CSG just used up about 150 in that yemen excursion.
The real tragedy is all the STEM in the US can't seem to muster up the competency or fortitude to compare these basic numbers in any public facing material.
These are likely using smaller turbojets. Eg. the ADM-160 MALD were supposed to be using the TJ-50, all in for <30k.
Of course like most defense projects, they ended up with the "B" version which were supposed to be 120k, but ended up being >300k when said & done LOL.
Currently the Anduril 20lb suicide drone is being sold for $1M apiece LMAO
The ironic and actually instructive part of this is that his work was used to rationalize the Syrian war for the west, which has left an absolutely devastating trail of misery for countless millions of Syrian people.
Even more instructive is that the people responsibly for that misery all still pretend to be the good guys.
Just to address the first item, this is referring to (ie all sourced from) the ASPI report, which is literally murdoch media. It's actually quite instructive to look at how it spread via rest of the media ecosystem from that one piece of agitprop.
Also pretty comical that the ostensibly "educated" tech people are no harder to manipulate than the fox news audience.
Yeah, it's pretty shocking that americans are actively bombing brown people by the millions, while simultaneously pretending to be the good guys grandstanding about "human rights" or whatever.
Keep in mind you live in country whose national passtime is bombing/killing brown & yellow people by the millions, then comically grandstanding about human rights.
Or maybe by your choice of words those people don't matter because they're technically not citizens.
Uh, there are many accounts from people who were at various camps if you just search, because the typical stay is much shorter than let on in propaganda. In fact, pretty much all accounts are from people who were released. These are much closer in nature to the US border detention camps, with "prisoners" entering and leaving regularly.
The WHO said there's no clear evidence of h2h on Jan 14. The Chinese cdc team didn't conclude their investigation until a few days after, and the advisory was changed after. Your sort know perfectly well why your statements are misleading but will continue to make them for obvious reasons.
The problem with Taleb is that he's incapable of recognizing any error, and he's not smart enough to do novel intellectual work. I recall pointing out some trivial mistake in the stat reasoning on some Facebook post of his, in a comment section full of fawning adulation by sycophants, and was immediately banned.
What really draws people to him is that controversial overconfidence, mostly from folks who don't understand the math anyway but are drawn to the personality. It's the standard confidence con frankly not much more sophisticated than Alex Jones. He mostly got lucky publishing a book about market crashes right as the market crashed, that's pretty much the extent of what his fans understand about the matter.
American exceptional is pretty much a religion in the Christan judeo tradition whereby believers possess any amount of faith that they're the good guys and anyone with conflicting interests is evil.
Ah yes, the enlightened centrist who equates white supremacist not welcome at businesses to ethnic minorities not welcome at businesses. You guys sure are the real victims here.
These types of protests are largely encouraged by the West to deepen division within it's enemies, same as with sunni/shiites in the middle east, or gop/democrats by the Russians. You can tell because the West didn't give a single shit when hk wasn't democratically ruled by the Brits, but now democracy there is headline propaganda.
