  1. #Ukraine has land borders with 3 NATO countries. #Taiwan has none. #Taiwan has no land border with any #US treaty/allay nation. #Ukraine can be supplied by land easily, not possible with #Taiwan.

    In case of a blockade or embargo by #PLAN or #PLAAF it would be required that #USN, #USMarines/#USM and to a lesser degree #USAF join the fray otherwise #Taiwan gets starved into submission. It gets staved of #armaments, #fuel, #food and #bullets.

    Is #IranWar worth it?

  3. "Meanwhile, we’re told we don’t have enough money to provide health care subsidies to the working poor. We’re told we don’t have enough money to provide food for children who are hungry. We’re told we don’t have enough money to fully fund public education. We’re told we don’t have enough money to care for those who are unhoused and struggling with mental or physical disabilities."

  4. "There’s been lots of death and destruction — including at a girls’ elementary school we bombed — and it has only brought more chaos and uncertainty to the region. More than 1,000 civilians are believed to be dead in this war. And the United States is estimated to be spending nearly $1 billion a day on this war. Yes, that’s billion with a 'b' every day."

  5. A quotation from William James

    “Peace” in military mouths today is a synonym for “war expected.” The word has become a pure provocative, and no government wishing peace sincerely should allow it ever to be printed in a newspaper. Every up-to-date dictionary should say that “peace” and “war” mean the same thing, now in posse, now in actu. It may even reasonably be said that the intensely sharp preparation for war by the nations is the real war, permanent, unceasing; and that the battles are only a sort of public verification of the mastery gained during the “peace”-interval.

    William James (1842-1910) American psychologist and philosopher
    Essay (1910-02), “The Moral Equivalent of War,” Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 77 (1910-10)

  10. I'm trying to identify a naval cannon here in England. The barrel has an overall length of 36" and a bore of 3". It has no crest in front of the touch hole.
    Does anyone know where and when a relatively small cannon like this would have been used?

  21. The #EU Commission has already classified #nuclear power and #gas as #green. Now the #armaments industry is actually to be declared #sustainable. Reason? Because it ensures peace.

    Honestly, if you think #politics can't get any more absurd, it immediately proves you wrong.

  22. 'Do we know what type of #armaments we [#UK] sell to #Israel? Do we know which companies are selling #arms and the cost of exports? Or is all this an official secret?

    Most of this information is not secret. Here is an extract from a Commons library briefing paper on arms exports to Israel.'
