Another first timer, at least against land targets. (I will not make you guys listen to Foreigner again. That might be a war crime) A marine drone used as an aircraft carrier. This will bring a lot more shit into reach. Airfields, ports, oil and gas, etc. etc. FPV drones are cheap, and the marine drones can be reused.

Foreigner's early work w/original line-up witnessed by the tune you posted "Feels Like The First Time" is good stuff bro,anything after "Head Games" album including Foreigner 4, a complete candy-ass pop sellout,COULD constitute a war crime IMO. Ukraine has saved their sovereignty through bravery,cunning,and misery and sacrifice. It has to end however,and their ultimate goal of gaining back Crimea and the Donbass isn't going to happen given current battlefield lines and Trump coming.Europe has to get it together for defense as the US will still play a role but our interests are under MUCH heavier pressure in the Pacific. Our granting China MFN status in the 90's and globilization have gutted our mfg. and ship-building capacity in a frightening way. The dreams of turning China into a mfg. hub from a more rural/agrarian nation in hopes of becoming more democratic have FAILED. We now face a nation that has transformed into a capable,and threatening foe on the high seas w/a shockingly modern navy and has recently wished us a merry Xmas by putting 2 gen 6 aircraft in the air over populated areas for ALL to see. All the while China is more authoritarian and aggressive as the yrs. pass and their might increases at a pace and quantity we cannot match.

100 years from now most of eastern Russia will be Chinese. Most likely without going to war. Not a big one anyway. The folks who live there are ethnic Chinese, and I can see "homegrown" uprisings like has happened around the edges of ex soviet states. China is rising and Russia is getting weaker by the day. It might be a lot sooner than anyone thinks.

Yes, I understand this and your right,but that won't distract them from confronting us and the Taiwan issue. At the pace they are innovating,coupled w/ their ever growing modern navy(two new modern destroyer's T-54,55, a T-004 Nuke carrier coming,a T-76 amphip. assault ship w/electric catapults for fixed wing jets (a first for any navy),new smaller frigates built 4-5 at a time) not to mention if God forbid hostility breaks out they can overcome attrition way faster w/mfg. capacity. It's forboding as a FK,and WE did it to ourselves hoping investing in them and gutting our mfg. for cheaper products would spur democracy in China. TODAY after playing the long game and learning patiently and through espionage of intellectual prop. are a mighty dragon w/a fiercely authoritarian govt. that laughs at democracy and has very suspect geo-political goals,I can only hope that their recent history as a non aggressive people holds true. Sadly I wish we could have a do-over of our goals and strategy's that we undertook in the 90's,but we're going to reap what we sowed:(:?:.

Just a couple thoughts,not sure where to put them so here goes. Trump talking acquiring Greenland,Panama Canal, and Canadian statehood,WTF,I don't care if it's disinfo.,negotiating tactics,or idiotic rambling he's known for. Just feed the world's anger at the impression that the US is a imperialistic,subjugator of peoples,WE'RE NOT. Trump 2.0 damn!!! Mark Zuckerberg, FRAUD,after Trump threats goes to Mar-A-Lago and genuflects,pays a million for his inauguration,comes back and announces NO MORE verifying of truths on Fraud-book. After his initial Facebook liberal-cool break things bent 20 yrs. later he's a can't beat join em COWARD,his META should be boycotted but American's are to dumbed down/divided through his algorithm,silo based news feeds to ever do so. This morning on MSNBC saw Scott Galloway,a prof at NYU school of bus. PERFECTLY sum up the state of our nations economic situation check it out!!!

I am afraid what he says about an economy self correcting after the accumulation of wealth in too few through war, famine and revolution. True. There will be many cuts (just more inflation), and more wealth concentrated in those at the top. Anger will obviously grow. Food will become too expensive and so famine will result.
In 2023, 47.4 million people in the United States lived in food-insecure households, which is 1 in 8 households:

  • 12.2 million adults lived in households with very low food security
  • 7.2 million children lived in food-insecure households
  • 841,000 children lived in households where one or more child experienced very low food security
Food insecurity is when people don't have enough to eat or don't know where their next meal will come from. It's a big problem in the United States, and it's on the rise:

  • Hunger was consistently declining for a decade before it started rising again.

  • In 2022, food insecurity was significantly higher than in 2021.

  • Food insecurity is more common for people of color, especially Black families and single mother-led households.

  • People in rural communities and the South are often more likely to lack access to enough food.

Many people turn to food assistance programs, such as food banks and food pantries, for help. In 2023, more than 50 million people turned to food assistance.

That's what baffles me about people voting for people who are actively trying to help the rich become richer, to the detriment of the rest of the people. (1% vs 99%) Haven't they seen through history that "trickle-down economics" is a sad myth? I am beginning to believe that it's not only Vlad and his army of hackers trying to divide people, but oligarchs of any nation happy to see us fighting amongst each other, as this will prevent any unified opposition to change things for the better for the "working class", the 99%.

So, I guess it will occur in order...first famine, then war, then revolution? Not sure, but the direction things are headed doesn't bode well.
