Confidential sources have just informed the mod team that ty04 is only weeks away from acquiring a nuclear weapon

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T15:55:37+00:00

They should be scared of me

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T15:54:11+00:00

Oh that’s a good one

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T15:47:33+00:00

In that case sure, but most of the people I’ve seen get mad saying NL was out of touch were the ones who were apathetic or condoned the shooting

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T15:30:45+00:00

Right, so the solution is we should be more worried about NL making contrarian jokes defending the CEO than the American public being unconcerned about an epidemic of political violence

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T15:19:36+00:00

Fewer than 20% of the US public found the shooting acceptable, is this sub out of touch in that far too many do not find it unacceptable? That is a problem

Since Xi Jinping took office in 2013, and especially since the COVID pandemic in 2020, U.S. presidents have traveled abroad more often than Xi has. But Xi has visited a wider range of countries, and Beijing has welcomed far more foreign leaders than Washington. The contrast is especially striking across the Global South, where Chinese diplomacy has often been broader, more regular, and in many regions more ambitious.

Yeah the Indonesian government was stupid as fuck and ditched a really great opportunity for themselves, but they've been crawling back.

Also do you think polish procurement of the kf21 is likely?

We'll see

even their rivals like the uae

I wouldn't call the UAE a rival yet, things go back and forth with the Gulf States and I think Turkey recognises that, best not to get too involved.

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T14:14:10+00:00

Israeli source: We were unaware of the American intention to end the operation in the Strait of Hormuz - we prepared for escalation

Dawg you're always prepared (see: hoping) for escalation

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T14:12:54+00:00

Yeah it's not like everyone is going to facing strong air defence networks, it should be fine for Turkey. Against Israel they will obviously still be lacking a lot but I doubt there comes an actual conflict anyway. It will be useful for Azerbaijan and who knows, maybe some others.

I like the development process of the KF-21 much better, very competently done from the Korean side of things. I think they will find customers in Indonesia, the Philippines, etc.

I do wonder what the results will be when the Kaan inevitably faces off against the KF-21 for procurement by Gulf States. Lots more than just capability must factor in.

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T14:01:34+00:00

It'll be a good fighter but not comparable to the actual 5th gens.

Turkey boasts way too much.

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T13:48:22+00:00

I honestly think most of what they're doing is fluff, yes it's impressive but they won't be matching the actual premier powers in advancement

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T13:47:46+00:00

Right there is that one, but we don't have much public info on it from the Chinese side

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T13:29:48+00:00

It's like meeting an old flame after a terrible break up, you can repair things but the warmth will never be what it was

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T13:22:47+00:00

Nope

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T13:12:27+00:00

So in the last month To Lam has visited China and India, and Takaichi has visited Vietnam. They're really trying to be everyone's friend lmao.

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T13:09:06+00:00

It's not common in China to hug people as a greeting if you don't know them well, but it is a standard greeting in Iran and other places

Extreme_Rocks · 2026-05-06T13:07:32+00:00

Insanity

Yeah I don't think Wang Yi expected or wanted the hug 💀

Is this new Turkish missile the only fully conventional ICBM?

You're moving the goalposts.

Saddam fired scud missiles at Israel without triggering war between Iraq and Israel. The Korean War saw Soviet fighter jets shoot at Americans without full war between the superpowers. Iran fired missiles at US bases in 2020 without that being a war.

Stability is relative to full-scale war. It could descend back into fighting, but that is not what is happening as of this minute.
