What do you mean “nothing”? It lets those with bigger piles crush those with smaller piles and makes people cheer for the villain

Look, only one of these is going to generate some work for the construction industry in Virginia. Daddy needs a new mansion.

surprised they’re making anything that doesn’t have Chinese chips in it. guess that’s why military electronics are 200x as expensive as consumer stuff and also worse

Most of these contractors sell to civilians at reasonable prices but mark up their shit for the government. It’s not because of China’s resources but because the US is too cucked to say no to their suppliers.

Wonder how much of the grey chunk is from “Taiwan”, probably a lot. Meaning it’s essentially controlled/destroyed by China in a few days if the US starts some shit.

China already makes most primer chemicals for the US lol. Russia also banned its cheap steel ammo exports which contributed to the spike in ammo prices in the US

Yeah, how many times did they sink the same carrier? 7?

The other carriers won’t even survive one sinking

Last I checked, the carrier left the Red Sea with its tail between its legs, after the captain posted a vid from a month before the attack as “proof” that nothing happened.

On the other hadn the US Navy admitted that they had instances of last second intercepts of Houthi missiles that got through to the last line of ship defences. A limited number of older iranian missiles managing that doesnt bode well for the carrrier group against an order of magnitude more modern chineae missilies

They never announced sinking of carrier, they said they damaged it which may or not be true, fact is that it retreated from the Red Sea with some sus behaviour from the USNavy about it.

Them admitting this just seems to be the same tactics that are meant to be “scary” and create false demand for more money. With it being an election year and all, it means the corpo parties will both trip over each other to provide blank checks. Like always.
