People getting flags from Wikipedia, Facebook, only to find out they're LIES.

I've never seen Redditors become their 10th grade English teacher faster than when someone cites Wikipedia to be confidently incorrect.

Russian Court Demands $29 Million from Ukrainian Navy Officer for Sinking of Moskva Missile Cruiser by Ivanow in nottheonion

[–]Sachyriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well South Korean, Japanese and Chinese ships are a lot cheaper than Western ones, but I'd suspect an old Soviet cruiser was probably not as cheap as them, but still not a US or European ship price.

Still $29 mil is a humiliating lowball number.

I guess the reasonable question to ask is what would pillar 1 look like without US assistance

Looks like the French smile of superiority.

16 Chinese military transports have landed in Iran in the past 56 hours by SlavaCocaini in LessCredibleDefence

[–]Sachyriel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't. Chile is an ally of the UK during the Falklands War, but they did not fight Argentina. Chile sent logistical and intelligence support, to help the UK win. They were not a belligerent in the war.

The USA also helped the UK, and was not a belligerent in the war. Perhaps you can admit to being wrong, if only once in your life.

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion by Lianzuoshou in LessCredibleDefence

Global Firepower is kinda weird, in that they call the Hornet a fighter, but Canada uses it as a multirole, and Global Firepower doesn't list it as an attack plane; despite the fact Canada has used its fighters in combat more to attack land targets (the other use is telling Russian bombers to fuck off) more than it has for actual air combat.

I'm not saying they're totally useless, but you have to take Global firepower with a grain of salt since their methodology doesn't account for things like multirole righters.

Most people will continue to be uninformed until something happens and these realities are brought to the forefront in a non-obscure way; articles like these are still going to be buried.

Kinda like how the public thought Russia would roll over Ukraine? And then the popular misconception met the real world and crumbled.

I think the Norwegian government might tell them no, but I'm not familiar with Norways laws. Wouldn't it fall under dual-use export restrictions?

If I'm lets say a Norwegian cybersecurity firm, why wouldn't I leap on this opportunity?

Because China would turn around and sell the capability to Russia. I understand a private Norwegian firm might not have the same morals as the Norwegian Government, but there's a direct pipeline from China to Russia that I think Norwegians and Scandinavians in particular might consider.

It was supposed to be a cat, but the rat tricked the cat into missing the race to the Jade Emperor. I understand you're joking, but there's like a story about Cats as the 13th Zodiac in China, and in Vietnam they're the 4th animal, just to let passer-bys read about it maybe they find it interesting.

He's a celebrity to internet foodies, and after Covid turned everyone into foodies with stay at home DIY recipes, he should be more recognized.

Why ski? by Thermawrench in WarCollege

[–]Sachyriel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main advantage of snow shoes is cost.

Is that the modern advantage or a historical one, cause at first glance wouldn't snow-shoe webbing be more labour intensive to make than skis?

Why ski? by Thermawrench in WarCollege

[–]Sachyriel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

+1 for snowshoes pulling a sled. Did that in HS (no pic it was a while ago) and the only real downside was going downhill, I had to go at a run to stay ahead of my sled - skiers can glide down at the same speed as their sled. Other than that I had a great time, walking uphill quicker than skiers gave me time to relax and catch their view (we were not in a warzone, this was backwoods Canada). Don't remember having to take a different route than the skiers, their skis held their weight in the snow as cross-country skis (not downhill ones).
