2·4 hours agoThere are missile defenses, but not nearly enough to counter China’s, let alone Russia’s, full arsenal. Superpowers want to have enough weapons to overwhelm their adversaries’ missile defenses. The perverse calculation of MAD is that while both can destroy each other, no one attacks. But if one country thinks they can survive a retaliation, suddenly nuclear is on the table.
The only logical (if perverse) reaction to your adversary building missile defenses, is to build more missiles. This is a route to escalation. This has been extensively studied during the cold war, and is no less true now: https://www.amacad.org/bulletin/spring-2024/understanding-chinese-and-russian-views-on-us-missile-defense
And missile defenses are way, way more expensive and technologically burdensome than missiles. So no, I don’t think that Russia nor China have large scale defenses, for now.
For a nuclear armed country, a robust missile defense system is a first strike enabling weapon. It means you can first strike a peer adversary without fearing MAD. This is a dangerous development.

2·3 days agoYeah, GB and Gb are clearly defined. But the flyer says “gig”

I got six of them, Wifi, MQTT, works perfectly
That was last year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it again
Netter Strohmann, etwas unoriginell, 7/10
What is actually being offered here? It says ‘2 gig’ in several places, I assume that means 2 Gb/s? No way that’s actually 2 GB/s, right?
I hate imprecise language in advertisements, smh
Naher Osten ist sowieso ein sehr eurozentrischer Begriff, ich finde, man sollte viel öfter lieber von Westasien reden
Das hier ist ein guter Anfang: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change
Da ist alles dabei, von Auftragsmorden, Finanzierung von Terroristen, Vermienen von zivilen Häfen, Unterstützung von Militärputschen gegen demokratisch gewählte Vertreter, oder eben direktes militärisches Einmarschieren. Da hast du deine Unterdrückung anderer Staaten.
Such a good manhua
Israel massively astroturfs their televote. Netanjahu has admitted that the ESC is important public relations work for Israel. Boycott the genocide song contest!
Most of them want a save haven and a place to stay. Palestine is their home. Having the population displaced is exactly what Israel wants
But yes, other Arab states should do more. But I have little hope for Egypt and Jordan, they are both too paid off by the US
