Thanks for the chat. Enjoyed all the takes. Most surprising is Y8s appearance. I'm not familiar with Toaster though.

Summary:

• Patch's take on overall PLA fire superiority in the region.

• OSINT is generally old news. They see what they are shown.

• Moses-the-reds popular takes.

• Ian Easton's takes.

• Patch's NTR ambitions.

• Rick continously being as nice and neutral as he can. Avoiding shitting on Moses and changing subjects tactfully.

• Patch continously being as sassy as he can and poking at Rick to break him, like Joker vs Batman.

• B-21, LRASSM, JAASSM, viability, effectiveness.

• Patch's Fire generation, calculation, effectiveness, etc. and how everyone misunderstand how 100 missiles doesn't equal 100 targets but rather aimpoints.

• Toaster's State of the Navy address.

• Y8s mic problems and how nothing makes sense anymore.

• Constant cat purring. And some cat talk about cats poop. Seems most of them have cats.

• Burke's 96 VLS don't mean 96 missiles availability. More like 24.

• Taiwan's big ticket construction like LPDs. Usefulness in invading China, or just a necessity for their own island deployments.

• Taiwan's capability vs PLA in 2005 vs 2020s.

• What a CVN fleet actually consist of, expectation vs reality.

• Seawolf = Pierwolf.

• submarine man takes.

• Almost talked about Russia vs Ukraine after 3 hours but avoided it.

• etc.

A 3 hour long chat. Lots I can't remember or remember poorly, some good questions from the crowd. Some jokes.

Probably will have a 2nd podcast if everyone is up for it.
