Also given the grift in China, I'd be surprised if even one was actually able to manage is designed dive depth.

Heavy infantry carriers like that or the Merkva are good at a defensive war in a confined region, but bad if you strategic needs call for some get up and go. The more common formula for an IFV is essentially a self propelled heavy machinegun nest that is immune to small arms. Its a formula that...

My bet is they will just fail to deal with the problems and it will end up a repeat of the Mark 14 Torpedo fiasco.

If you put 3000 watts into a laser, expect to take 2000 watts coming right back out as heat.

Sounds like project star wars style counter Intel to me.

Never make the mistake of underestimate just how shit thew quality life can get in a communist country and still be combat capable.

Containerized missile launchers have been talked about since at least the 90s. They don't happen because there is no point in arming you merchants outside a hot war.

You only get to try that trick once. Then everyone ceases and or sinks all of your shipping.

Probably merchant caravans. The bronze age would not have existed if it were not for extremely long ranged merchant networks because most easily accessible tin and copper deposits were essentially on separate continents. The few exceptions were regional super powers. Silk has been found in...

The specific form of infighting they have only looks like a detriment to us because we think in terms of prosperity rather than control.

A near direct hit with a nuke does less to a hardened target than most think. Nukes are for soft targets, namely cities. Even if you don't destroy the actual tooling, every factory in the city will be mission killed by the subsequent evacuations.

That is a reasonable accuracy for inter-continental nuclear artillery.

They don't have to convince voters, they have ton convince senators and congressmen. Just like during world war I, it will be illegal to protest the war effort even before it is declared.

I mean that if China is going to take Taiwan, their puppets in the US will prepare for it with propaganda to make us not get involved in the war, or get involved on the wrong side.

If beijing is actually going to attack Taiwan, I expect there to be more propaganda about hate crimes against Asians, with it getting more specific to Chinese, and "Free Taiwan" being labeled as sinophobic hate speech. If that happens, we will have only months to unseat Biden and Harris before...
