Live in the forest ig. Some defect to Ukrainians, there are flyers and websites and telegram channels for that, but hard to say how many choose so
nukes, that was just paper thin disguise
couple kg went for fuel fabrication for teheran research reactor, but that’s couple tens kg out of low tons
They could just buy enriched uranium directly
they did buy enriched uranium for their only nuclear power reactors in bushehr npp from russians, and didn’t use their own enrichment facilities to make fuel for it
it’s a legit thing even if we don’t know how exactly it works
well, i see a large category of infrastructure problems (that will be 99% civilian use anyway - and not only transport, also telecomms, you can even put healthcare training in there) that is solvable by pouring money at them, and now it’s politically convenient to let it rip even among pro-austerity neoliberals. if you want an example of what can this do, look at eastern eu countries and how they changed after funding went in
which ones? germany has government spending at 48% of gdp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_spending_as_percentage_of_GDP so 5% of gdp for defense will be closer to 1/10 of all government spending
going by 2024 numbers, russians putting third of government spending to defence would be closer to 13% gdp
It all depends on how it all will get managed, but there are already longer term infrastructure projects that now got some funding and now also it counts under 5% NATO target. I think that more resources will go towards rail infrastructure, bridges are just more illustrative, but still for a couple of these village 7 ton level bridge there will be one 30 ton bridge in town nearby that will get overhauled
in eastern nato countries there is logistical problem because army suddenly switched from 40 ton tanks to 70 ton tanks, for example, and old bridges or rail can’t support them. this is just one of many small examples that add to that problem, and of course 99% of the time the stronger bridge will be used by civilians
i feel like if it’s not something thst everyone got this would cause new kind of racism
about #1, not only this makes number of potential leakers higher (intentional or not - by opsec failures) but also this narrows down number of loyal, reliable people who also won’t fuck up the job real fast
but that’s not disruptive and works and makes altman zero money
I think it’s implied by that bozo that bowling place also runs a chatbot of their own
there shouldn’t be billion dollar startups
No. Barrels of API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) are mostly hauled from India or China, then formulated into pills or whatever, this goes especially for generic medicines. There is some american manufacture of APIs, but these tend to be on more expensive side (biologicals or small molecule drugs under patent). Inputs for these APIs also tend to be made in India or China
It’s not. He-3 is supposed to be maybe one day used in fusion power, but we’re talking about tons of this stuff. Not only scale is off, also He-3 burning requires much higher temperature than D-T fusion, and this is just around in next 20 years pinky promise
People who think that it’s a big deal also take Ray Kurzweil seriously, it’s scifi noise
In practical terms, when DHS wanted to get He-3 neutron sensors, they bought out entire global supply for multiple years, for an application where only grams are needed and it’s not used up. It’s made from decay of tritium currently and it’d be less energy intensive to make it the usual way
at minimum brits have source code. couple of eu countries make parts for it as well
there’s a couple of big failures in american defense industry (like shipbuilding) but F35 is not one of them. the alleged killswitch is not likely a thing because first, it could be used by the most probable adversary, and they already shown capability in EW; and second, it’s not necessary because it requires constant stream of spare parts and maintenance. as if it’s worth it, ask any remaining iranian radar operator for firsthand opinion
some countries switched to euro made jets anyway, but these aren’t likely to be doing the job that F35 is cut to do anyway (SEAD)
there’s already euro alternative in development, for which americans were explicitly not invited (GCAP, FCAS). there’s also the everything else part of military, half of euro countries make now artillery (both tube and rocket) so these can be bought locally too
it’s not listed because this is not what is happening
italy for example put bridge construction in that military budget (as critical infrastructure)
also the subtext was “spend that defense budget in america” and this is not happening either for variety of reasons, so it’s partial failure already for them
if you’re being invaded, then killing aggressor side soldiers solves very practical problem of getting invaded by them
unless you’re saying that the ethical thing to do is to keel over and die in this situation
