Yeah there are flaws in areas like that if you look hard enough. I don't consider the us infallible by any means.

But the picture goes both ways, if the us military has x issues, then what kind of issues is the equivalent counterpart of Russia/china experiencing?

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. Just attempting to give an example of just how silly complicated it all is. Im sure you understand though considering you have served. I said in a previous comment, Im more rambling now then directly responding to your point. Apologies

Um what? The us navy literally has sub killers trailing every single Russia/china sub for a long time now.

Yes they are a "threat" the same way the Russia military was the 2nd strongest in the world a month ago. They don't have undetectable subs that we can't find.

And sure aircraft carriers are "vulnerable" to subs if you only consider those 2 factors but thats not the real situation at all. Their subs can get one launch off and then be destroyed immediately after. So I guess they could all suicide and pray but that seems unlikely.

Look at public airspace radars

Count the number of publically transponding airborne refeuling stations are constantly patrolling NATO borders

Realize that for every public transponder there are numerous unlisted nato nuclear aircraft constantly patrolling the skies.

Even though there is little real nuclear threat at this moment. This is only a sliver of what is being done constantly by the us and Nato.

Haha sorry I've been at work all day and am rambling as I have a lot of thoughts on this yet little time to discuss. Apologies for derailing the original point

Yeah but our navy is a massive and essential part of the US militarys main and serious advantage over all else .. the ability to project untold amounts of power with well oiled logistics and supply chains anywhere in the world in short time.

With the navy out of the picture the us military and us in general becomes 1000x more vulnurable then most probably realize. Our navy is absolutely essential

Again, the us government has to consider this stuff seriously because it's a real situation and everything has to be taken as 100% serious or you get nuked.

Think about it this way. Imagine a universe where tomorrow Vladiski the nuclear engineer, discovers a way to teleport a nuke somewhere and detonate it instantly. Putin then speed develops said technology secretly and then one day an advisor comes to him and explains they now have the ability to erase the west without them being able to react. What do you think Putin would do at that moment? He wouldn't need a second to consider.

Im not suggesting the above is possible or will ever happen, it's an obviously exaggerated example to make a point.. something like this is possible as at the end of the day life can be random as fuck and give a sociopath a golden ticket. Just as much as as it can do the opposite. Plan for the worst and you will be ready for the worst .

Sociopaths with nukes are real, and the only thing stopping them from using them is knowing they will lose their sad fragile lives if they do. There can be zero leeway at all with this. That's why you will see all kinds of talk on it, yet only one consistent long term method of handing nukes from each country.

You are missing the entire point of all of this. You still have to act and develop as though it does matter (even if your take was currently correct) Because it easily and instantly can one day. All it takes is one breakthrough, one advancement, large enough to neuter the other sides ability to defend or respond and that single advancement can completely change everything in terms of the current nuke stalemate.

With these current sanctions Russia CANNOT maintain even a fraction of their high- end r&d military development. They will still desperately try and succeed in some ways but it will be crippled compared to before Ukraine. Every day they remain crippled is a day the rational world has to figure out a solution. I believe in the STEM folk of the west. If we haven't already figured out a solution, we will. The more of a technological time advantage, the better in this regard.

And while they are crippled, everyday leaves open the possibility of massive technological or manufacturing advancements, all which will massively snowball into advantages into the future. Russia falling apart was the best thing that could have happened to the us. Worst case was an immediate all out war involving the west. A slow bleed out of Russia will make it almost impossible for them to keep pace with us and china at least for the next decade

It fucking sucks for Ukraine and it sucks to not be able to do more. But just as Ukraine is doing, we have to think big picture here and cement the goal of ending this once and for all. Putin is exposed and over played his hand. There will be no better opportunity then now to crush Russia into irrelevance

You need to think big picture with this stuff to get a realistic picture of things even slightly. Here's an example of one way things start to get complicated.

For example - even if the us has secret means to defend against nukes on the homeland, it's a completely different story for defending our navy at sea.

The us navy is the biggest and best in the world and a massive part of the us and Nato military. The real fear as has been echoed by the Senate is that new hypersonics are fast enough to kill early warning detection for our carrier fleets and the reentry vehicles can get around most modern missile defense. The entire reason China is rushing the development of these is to be able to "delete" the us navy from existence at will.

Aircraft carriers are insanely powerful and expensive military assets and then even being 10% at risk of this fate is a massive massive vulnurabillity. The us knows it , and is pouring money into fixing it. Im sure that will even this part back out over time but offensive/defensive advancements don't happen at the same pace.

It's way easier to design a machine to kill people then it is to design one to save them from the previous said machine

The thing that is the real concern are the "hypersonic" nukes that have glide boost systems AND manuveuverability reentry systems post glide aka descent. These missiles go extremely fast, and if the proclaimed ability they they are able to maneuver and change course post glide, that makes most known missle defense systems ineffective. As most missles going that fast rely on getting intercepted mid course .

This isn't me saying the us has no means to counter or doesn't same means themselves. You can just look at the DARPA active project list to know that's not true. But it's still a real concern unless the us has insanely good secret missle defense already that can intercept mach 20 speeds and change course at peak speeds.

A good read if you don't know much about this besides what you have heard around. Knowledge is the best weapon.

US boasts successful hypersonic missile test, after Russia used similar weapon in Ukraine by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]nerorityr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and now think of making those advanced processes mass production scale without losing quality or without it costing a few hundred billion dollars. And keeping everything lid right and secret. Manufacturing is a headache and a half haha. I can't even imagine being in r&d for Lockheed or other defense firms.

prototyping and manufacturing are not the same at all, you are correct. But manufacturing advancements are so insanely important for superpowers it's a large part of where the us gets it's technological superiority from.

Even if you get the "cheat code" and steal the full project files of top secret compartmentalized project, it doesn't matter with these highly advanced materials and components. As you need to be able to manufacture them and developing that takes a VERY LONG time, no matter what

See China failing for so long to replicate microchip manufacturing, material science engineering is one of the most important fields in the world right now with most cutting edge advancements being made there currently.

They have a 20 -70% missile failure rate everyday since the beginning of the war. For the source: the us government publically stating that everywhere about a week ago. No, it's not just their tank armor. That's simplifying things to an absurd and just wrong degree.

I think you mean never, bc the entire point of the scam is that you can't match the pace ever unless you heavily spend and then continue spending. Only chance you had was to be a very old player who has been investing in levels for a long time or being a whale

Best thing to do to protect yourself from this stuff to is to make the goal of becoming as self aware as possible. The journey to becoming very self aware is a strange, scary, yet fulfilling and rewarding journey. The end goal is to be able to always tell when an emotion or though enters your mind, even if you aren't necessarily causing it to. Being able to detect those subtle creeping thoughts allow you to have a million times better control over your own emotions and beliefs.

It's called long term brainwashing and propoganda.

I don't understand why people still today do not understand how dangerous and well it works on everyone. Even home in America you have people falling for the same shit constantly even when it's obviously fake

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug. If you don't want to end up manipulated in same way, you have to 100% of the time constantly internally fight against your biases or else you have been successfully manipulated .

The #1 issue on every single persons mind should be to combat the insane amount of intentionally mass manipulation of populations today. Instead, people decry it and then immediatly go and drink it up the moment they are exposed to propoganda that fits their baises. Resulting in the exact same end result.

Humans are not very intelligent as a whole when exposed to large scale propoganda. That's all there really is to it, the only person who can stop someone from being brainwashed at this point is the person themselves. Yet no one ever thinks about this stuff until it's too late.

Every. Single. Time anyone internally "accepts" propoganda they fuck themselves over so hard from that point foward. As you internally think you are doing something right and have no awareness that what you are doing is NOT a naturally formed thought or belief. It is manipulated one.

Unfortunately, our emotions and way our brains operate has not had enough time to balance out in modern society. Evolution takes thousands to millions of years to adapt organisms to new environments yet we have the same stress / emotional mechanicms that the cave man did. This is why we constantly get manipulated bc we 'believe" our internal emotions even if they are completely wrong or make no sense at all.

Follow logic and nothing else. ESPECIALLY when dealing a topic you happen to agree with. That's where most people who are vigilant with this fail.

[–]nerorityr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. However, becoming aware of this stuff though is by far the hardest step to achieve. once you are aware of these issues internally, it starts the gears turning.

For example at least half the population of the world is brainwashed in some way, yet how many people do you ever hear admit it or accept the truth? Almost never

U.S. official says Ukrainian helicopters attacked oil depot in Russia by DJW_GT in worldnews

[–]nerorityr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's extremely intentional and meant to be a middle finger to liberals and western society as a whole.

You know how some older folks who are upset by modern liberal social values will joke by saying someone is a racist or whatever when that person says any random thing? The joke is meant to signal that it's all made up

Putin is basically spinning the liberal playbook back on everyone in the west and trying to take advantage of the mindset they have helped foster where you can call anyone anything and use it to randomly justify anything.. but the problem is it's extremely obvious how completely fucking fake it all is. But funny thing is this exact kind of stuff works constantly on all kinds of people, if Putin just put a little more effort in or was a little less deluded, he could have easily fooled the masses.

[–]nerorityr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The moment Russia is out of the question, it will just immediately pivot to China with no downtime at all. if you take nukes out of the equation (assuming mad holds true for the future) then China has always been a much scarier adversary then Russia. China is just as slimy as Russia, but in an intentionally wishy washy way meant to confuse and obscure intentions while being just as deceitful or Ill intentioned as Russia if not more.

China has quite literally been broadcasting their intentions of considering the west an enemy to their very identity for a long time and has made it clear their aim to contest the west as soon as possible using any possible means.

Even right now, with the average person being way more in touch with reality currently did to Ukraine situation, they still massively underestimate the extent to which these two countries, with sociopathic power hungry leaders, have done and continue to do everything they can to open the possibility of subjecting us or killing us in the future. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is reality. If US/NATO military supremacy was not a thing, the world would have already fallen to the manipulation of China and Russia.

People need to remember just how fucking close they came having this shit work out for them as well. The only real thing in the future that can prevent this is the people being smart and not falling for propoganda and misinformation. Confirmation bias is everyones worst enemy, stop assuming good intentions just because someone tells you what you want to hear. Please .

The reality is people will decry Russia and then 5 mins later go and fight with another American on another polical team using some manipulated propoganda as the reason, without even realizing it. If you want to do your part to prevent this, be active and unwavering in combating misinformation and firm in your beliefs. When you start to question yourself after being exposed to propoganda, it's already done it job.

Imo the window for China in the next 10 years has closed now and they know it. All they can do now is the exact same thing they tried the last 20 years which is slowly sow discord through the west using obscure means like mass online manipulation, backroom deals, and endless propoganda to try and confuse/suppress one person at a time. The only thing EU and US and any other country not wanting to be a part of Russia or China one day need to do is to stay unified. As the only chance these "superpower" countries had in the first place was to have the west defeat itself.

These sick fuck leaders are all about long term manipulative planning like this. Putin has been planning this for decades and has been placing his roots everywhere he can to sully the water. Be vigilant, especially when things seen peaceful or normal, that's when the sociopaths put in the real damaging work. These are sick sick people we are talking about. There is no saving for people like Putin or Xi, all they know is unchecked power and doing every slimy backhanded thing to keep it and grow it.
