@NLwartracker@FaytuksNetwork Dassault just want to do it alone, they've been hating Airbus (or the companies that formed the French part of it) for more than a century. France and India will foot the bill.
@HoyasFan07 Money means nothing. Italy and France have better armies than the UK and Germany with less money. In proportion, Finland and Sweden despite high wages ridicule the European big 4 in terms of capability/expenses. War aren't fought by throwing money at the ennemy.
@ProfessorPape There won't be any ceasefire from Iran as long as the US don't self humiliate themselves.
Trump achieved the goal of power change, but the new Iranian leadership won't accept less than US unconditional surrender, with includes Israel's containment btw.
@trader280@tshugart3 There a good podcast about it. Either conventional submarines (many NATO countries have great ones) or go nuclear with France, (the French were upset because they developed a conventional version of their nuclear sub for AUS when they'd been OK with selling the nuclear version.
@VolodyaTretyak To be fair, Europe always made clear it didn't want Russia within. To also be fair, Russia would need a new 1917 revolution BEFORE it can create the institutions that would make it palatable to the rest of Europe.
@JuanSanchez0x0 I've been travelling quite a bit too. Discovered quite a few bugs I wasn't aware of, been hospitalized in fancy places... I don't want to be rude but your post doesn't sound like an adventurer life. More like a fussy pensioner traveling around to kill time.
@NLwartracker@Mylovanov With all the scandals Trump survived, Putin is unlikely to have any leverage left over Trump. Like his obsession with golden objects, Trump strives for recognition from people he fancifully considers powerful. He became a billionaire by courting the richest.
@SariArhoHavren There's no politics behind the Tomahawk thing. The US lacks the industrial capacity to produce them like it lacks the capacity to provide submarines to Australia. Bad excuses are found in both cases (and many more will come) to hide the truth on its industrial impotence.
