"Trump's once strategically useful unpredictability..."
There is, for some reason, a global intellectual mindset that #DonaldTrump is some sort of god tier, twelve-dimensional chess player and that his tactics are beyond the understanding of mere humans
#GlobalFinancialMarkets seem to be particularly enamored of this viewpoint, even though it's clearly hallucinatory
#Trump is nothing more than a profoundly disturbed, acute narcissist and a demonstrated, serial, pathological liar
Trump has the attention span of a goldfish and merely leaps to the last thing the last #TrumpWhisperer said to him before they left the room
Global Financial Markets need to come up to speed, and quickly
Trump is *not* what they want to think he is

It's time for #PLA #recycling again!
Today's episode: "Where to put all these tree support structures and filament strands from end-of-spool?"
Abused the Hotpress again to make colorful sheets from shredded 3d prints and leftovers.
Sheets are approx. 2mm thick and surprisingly tough.

PLA Adopts Ancient Phalanx Formation for Modern Warfare
The PLA has made a striking move by reviving the ancient phalanx formation, trading in flexible tactics for a wall of shields and long pikes in a bold display of modernized might. This unexpected shift has left observers wondering what's behind the Chinese military's return to a battle-tested strategy from centuries past.

China's PLA Revives Explosive Tactics in Modern Warfare
The People's Liberation Army is dusting off old-school explosive tactics, deploying high-explosive satchels and makeshift charges in modern warfare, a move that suggests even simple tools can still pack a punch on the battlefield. This revival is reportedly inspired by lessons learned from the war in Ukraine, where humble explosive charges proved their…

There's a time start on that link, the embed probably won't honour it? But skip to 36:54, it's neat.

Bisher habe ich mich beim #3DDruck auf #PETG (und selten #PLA) beschränkt, ab und zu mal #TPU. Heute dann Premiere mit #ASA - ich bin gespannt.
Zunächst mal dauert es erheblich länger, bis der Druck startet, um eine hohe und gleichmäßige Bauraumtemperatur zu erreichen. Das erste kleine Testobjekt war aber schon mal gut, die Haptik und zaghafte Biegetests sind überzeugend. -

#USN and #USAF have been built to tackle enemies like #IJN, #IJA, Soviet Red Army, #PLA, #PLAAF, etc. That too in deep waters of the ocean where carriers and planes have room to maneuver. In confined spaces like Straits of #Hormuz or Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb they have struggled. Additionally it is rumored that tens of #PLAAF planes had delivered anti-ship missiles to #Iran just before the #IranWar started
Opening of #Hormuz will not be easy. The best way forward is to stop this war and negotiate
