    I think this is explained a little deceptively. The guy was in the US for high school. I'm out of my lane but the idea that the PRC sent a "special forces" soldier to play "Hello, Fellow Kids" for 4...

    There are not a lot of good targets in Yemen that aren't already a burning hole. Responses are going to have to be clever, and maybe involve Iran, and that's tricky with the whole Gaza thing going...

    This isn't really my area but getting real-world data on anti-ship ballistic missiles (and presumably-warheaded-UAVs/cruise missiles) might be worth the cost of admission.

    I really don't get it either. In 2012 or 2013, it might not have been obvious that Russia was still "the" enemy, but 2014 was Russia's invasion of Crimea and a brand new round of sanctions.

    I don't know, I think that fits how one-person small businesses often collapse. They stop paying suppliers (just until they can fix it!) don't tell customers (because they're going to fix it!) and...

    These people know how ridiculous this is. But differentiating your growing channel on Youtube requires you to take risks. The controversy it's going to cause is the point.

    What the heck has gone wrong such that pointing a pistol at a civilian's head gets basically no reaction?

    A lot of people on the video are complaining about the cars as backstop, but I think there...

    Does your suburban town get targeted by a lot of terrorists?


    I think this entire discussion is pretty silly as a practical matter.

    Yes, but it's a rhetorical question because obviously the answer is no.

    I think the bottom line is that with an automatic you might be able to save your life, but would you really want to?

    I don't know who S2 Underground is but it's been reported that some of these 12$ balloons can stay aloft long enough to circumnavigate the globe multiple times. A quick google search will find ham...

    I don't think you learn that much about IR missiles by being hit by them, and I don't think there's that much to learn about IR missiles, period. Thermal camera, then it goes boom, the end.

    The DoD has said at the last off-camera but on-record press conference that they've changed the size/speed filters and that's what's leading to more detections. Not sure if this has already been...

    Super out of my lane but I think that’s a fighter jet. The balloon would be too high for contrails so I’m guessing so would anything shot at it once the missile had climbed. But really just guessing.

    I only opened a few years of Ashville's budget and their water is by far their biggest expenditure. They've got some serious DEI stuff in here (Reparations for slavery!) but it's about 30-40 times...
