@The__Unyielding It seems pretty straightforward, this isn’t even exactly limited to religious people, seeming someone like you fight something unequivocally evil feels good. People object to the GWOT but will gladly watch the US army kill invading aliens. Seeing a priest kill demons is the same.
@ShitpostRock The rw position should have always been “Israel is bad because it’s a Jewish ethnostate, ethnostates as a concept are fine.” Some rwingers currently would call you “spiritually Israeli” for using underhanded tactics in service of the white.
@Chudfish14921 Male gaze= bad, cause overdone and female gaze= good, cause unprecedented is how most of the discussion about sexuality in media goes. I on the other hand want Islam censor bars on every unclothed woman like memri TV because I’m stone cold.
Rules:
WW side is allowed to freely develop nukes contemporary to its time period.
US and China are only allowed one nuke each contemporary to their time period (any delivery method).
No information sharing or imports with the rest of the world.
@bee_fumo The scale at which Europe can make shitty technology very closely reproduces what makes Shaheds so effective against modern militaries. Like obviously an F16 is going to destroy a shahed but theres hundreds made daily and destroying one costs you a million dollar missile.
@UlyxysI@ArmataAPU Yeah I dunno why Europe advocates are stuck on reverse engineering when the European wartime economy makes shit with a speed and asymmetric cost that makes the sahed drones effective. Without imports Africa’s small native industry and its stockpiles would struggle.
@Redvolutionary8@grok where would the golden circle military and economy rank globally if the knights of the golden circle achieved all of their territorial goals. (acquiring all of the Caribbean, US South east, Mexico, Colombia and Central America)
@Dustyybong@ArmataAPU Africa has almost zero indigenous weapons industry besides Egypt producing its own tanks, which are other countries designs anyway, the entire thought experiment only has legs because it pits a strong industrial capacity with shit tech agains shit industry with strong tech.
@Dustyybong@ArmataAPU I lean in favor of Europe in a prolonged conflict. I agree with you in some respects but you’re not approaching this with any nuance. The existence of North Africa makes an instant victory for the Europeans impossible.
@Dustyybong@ArmataAPU The original hypothetical was 2026 Africa as is. Africa and Europe can’t import anything from the beginning of the war on and Europe does not have its colonies.
@ArmataAPU@Dustyybong Really couldn’t tell you. The state of South African nukes is kind of confusing to me. As far as I’m aware they still have the weapons grade uranium but did away with the rest of the parts of the nukes and the means to make more. No idea about brain drain.
@Dustyybong@ArmataAPU It might actually come down to who develops nukes first. South Africa could reactivate its nuclear program in years to a decade and with multiple European countries working on the atom bomb at this time collaborating instead of fighting progress could be hastened.
@Dustyybong@ArmataAPU This is the logistical hurdles I mentioned yes. More than likely Africa has an insanely strong start as modern tanks and jets are virtually invulnerable to anything from 1939 and as munitions run out the production capacity of Europe closes the tech gap with sheer numbers.
