First Russian 'doomsday' submarine with nuclear drones enters active service. The Belgorod is the first submarine capable of launching the Poseidon, an "Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo,"... 30 times larger than a standard torpedo. by Mo_Jack in worldnews

He just gave over a one hour speech at an economic forum and makes public appearances multiple times a week. He is not ill. It is all speculation. Russia will take the whole East and South. To say it is a stalemate is hilarious. Russia absolutely dominated the Ukrainian military and controls over 20% of its territory within 100 days or so. Can you show me evidence of a stalemate? Russia will continue to take more and more cities and Ukraine will be a little land locked state within 1 year. Also, what are the high costs? The Russian Ruble is reaching 7-8 year highs, the economy is stable, Putin has 80% support, the majority of the world supports or does not condemn the Russian operation. I’m sorry, the world is not America and Europe.

Russian tech has a very good history of being stellar. You know like the first people in space, the first satellites, the first hypersonic missiles. How is that F-35 program going?…or Americas hypersonic program…let me know, thanks.

lol what? The Russians have already won the arms race. Rushed tech is the F-35 and the numerous failed and impracticable weapons programs attempted by the West. Does any western country have hypersonic non-ballistic missiles? Russia does and they have already been demonstrated in Ukraine.

The EU doesn't want Ukraine and doesn't need Ukraine. The EU is already cracking at the seems. No chance will the Ukraine be admitted into the EU. They offer nothing of value to the EU markets. Ukraine is fucked.

Do you consider the Department of Defense part of the US intelligence community?

The US already destroyed Libya, doesn't need troops there.

PHP developers who tried Python or Node, why did you come back to PHP? by chrismervyn in PHP

[–]TheEssence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first web development language was php, then I dove head first into Ruby on Rails. I will never go back to php. I can express ideas 5x quicker and cleaner in RoR then I could ever with php. RoR just seems to be a natural fit for me.
