1200 Iskanders per year compares favorably to US production of 400 PrSMs per year.
And having syphilis compares favorably to having aids. Still means you are not healthy. I honestly expected both Russia and Ukraine to become smarter and be able to produce more stuff to throw on the battlefield.

Russia missile production is pathetic. Probably it is more capable that some other developed countries - but that is because they are even more pathetic. 100 iskanders per month? Khrushchev shat more ICBM after taking laxatives.
Iran missile production could be called good if you squint, then put a lot of asterisks to it. But mostly they had accumulated stock. Still - I have to grudgingly admit that convincing the gulf states that you could overload their defenses and surviving the onslaught is good result for them.
But with China - a nation that has shown that they can scale everything to absurd levels - they couldn't threaten conus. Or want to - but they can totally make Taiwan flat.

"Drones" as most people commonly think of them will barely be relevant in a war with China
If you cram a 100000 geran jet class drones in a carrier with proper starlink overlords you can totally turn off Shanghai. Or Taipei. Or LA.

Hittner also includes an answer for those who don't wish for them or their kids to see a drag show. Don't go
When it is the kindergarden that does it is probably hard to do so.

can be seen everywhere from Eastern Europe
Which flags are those supposed to be?

I am fairly certain those listed could trace their ancestors to the battle of Agincourt.
But if you want definition of britishness (and europeaness). If you have no blood connection to that soil from before 1960s you cannot be British/European is fine definition.

Because the crime is heinous. And the support the perpetrator is getting is off the scale.

On all of those you can add custom roots and chains. Now whether you would want to put Iranian government root just to visit their sites securely is up to you.

You just shouldn't give citizenship to whoever. That simple. The supply of third world peasants vastly outstrips the demand for labor - so there is no need to make them citizens, unlike the romans. Dubai offers vastly worse deal than UK to the people from the subcontinent, and the quality of the workers they get doesn't seem to be that different.

I don't buy the insanity defense. I can't think of a mother I know that wouldn't do suicide attempts till success if she did such thing in a moment of blackout. It is just not something you can live with when the haze over your brain lifts.
A side game here appears to be liberal, privileged white women who cannot imagine a woman would do something bad for any reason. For them it seems easy to imagine a man killing his kids but a woman.
Just giving flesh to the meme that the only thing white liberal women really fear is accountability.

But is the price $25 a month? I'm seeing stories about how the AI companies are now charging more, and charging on tiers where if you want the best model you have to pay the premium price.
And then you have DS4 flash that is too cheap to meter. I am not what the mark up is on frontier models, but it is probably in the thousands of percent. And more and more it looks like the model is a commodity.

Black activists will compare everything to lynching. So it is safe to ignore them. Same with ADL and SPLC.

I think there are smart reasons to believe AI might never be significantly more capable than it is (though I don't agree with this position.)
Even at current capabilities AI is transformative. A jack of all trades better than the median human in all of them for 25$ a month that can work 24/7 with information - I am not sure that when it comes to industrialization of physical labor we had seen such jump.
All AI development stops today - the knowledge work and science are transformed. Pun intended.

After Hank Green's raking trough the coals for drinking the unholy water and eating the flesh of the Antichrist - aka using chatgpt to write his scripts - which other channels do you suspect of using it? I am fairly sure about Sabine Hossenfelder and Mentour Pilot in the last week.

Jews you are willing to hide in your basement when the Gestapo are on the prowl should be lower than your standards for peacetime houseguests.
No they shouldn't. I have no obligation towards Jews. I may help people because I like them. If they don't clear my likeability bar they should raise complaint with the Gestapo.
And no one in Europe aside from Ukrainians and Russians is real asylum seeker.

You punish their source country until they decide to take them. And if Kristallnacht is needed to keep Europe safe, then so be it. Although I think that there are some milder approaches to culturally assimilate the better lot of them if we are hard enough. And only deport the culturally incompatible ones.
Anyway chemical castration for border trespassing is a suitable punishment I think that will do wonders both for reducing immigration/refugees and sexual assaults committed by them.

Taiwan will be anschluss-ed with China. That is inevitable. Even the KMT knows it. So far it seems that KMT is trying to get there the easy way and the DPP are trying to see how hard the hard way will be.

The test case here will be around Israel in the coming years. Who I would put at S-Tear for air-force and electronic warfare within it's immediate vicinity.
The only thing that saves Israel is that the people that actively want to harm them are really really stupid. And the smart are deterred by the Vela incident. A couple of MIT kids with couple of billions of dollars would have wiped them out of existence so far.
That does not make it acceptable to enslave, discriminate, oppress, or demean a race of people - all people deserve a baseline of dignity and respect.
I wouldn't go that far. I think it is ok for my fellow citizens and for people with genes or cultural traits I find valuable, but why do so for the rest? With what the afghani coward that didn't put resistance to the Taliban takeover deserves dignity and respect for crossing my border illegally? The FGM supporter? The honor killing enabler? The "refugees" in Ceuta that started sexually assaulting the few women that actually crossed?
Do you think that Europe and UK would be a better or worse places now if we had sunk the boats?

You rediscovered State of Fear by Michael Crichton only 2 decades later.
Yeah, but she pulled it off.
