You're telling me Louisiana is celebrating a French (assumed highly likely gay) female freedom fighter turned martyr? How un-American progressive. Don't tell Trump, is my advice.
You're lizard people from planet X, I knew it! There are portals in universities so they can brainwash all the intellectuals and take over the world. Everyone knows that, it has been posted on Facebook.
I just don't bother anymore with those people. I used to try a lot, but it's hopeless. Maybe if we all laugh at them for being so dumb, they maybe eventually realize they're the ones being brainwashed, losing touch with reality. I prefer to encircle myself with nice and like minded people. I just block and ignore anyone else. Including my family.
What a load of bullshit. You cannot win an argument with facts and fact checking, when you're talking to someone who only believe their feelings and poor sources.
“I’ve looked into this, and it’s actually been widely debunked. Would you be open to reading a source I trust?”
“I know this feels true, but it’s coming from a site known for disinformation. Can I share why I’m concerned?”
I tried this many times, it doesn't work. All the fact checking sources I provide are considered false and left wing propaganda. The only source they trust is Fox / Facebook / racist neighbor / etc. If it's about science stuff, they know better than a professor in that field. They don't question their sources. They don't believe in facts and science, only in feelings. And their feelings were created by populist politicians, radical groups, fake news sites originating from Russia, etc. And when they have a feeling, there's no arguing with it anymore.
This goes for any cult member. And with cult I also mean the Christian churches, and any other religion. Anyone who blindly follows what is dictated to them by whoever they worship or follow.
I've seen a lot about cults. I think the only way to hopefully pull someone away from a cult is to isolate them from it, show the real world for a while, then talk about how their cult world is actually very far from normal and okay. This works only sometimes, some people get away from it, then to return a bit later. Or they fall for another cult.
But there's no arguing with someone who doesn't trust facts and doesn't use any form of logic.
When you put a criminal in office, you can expect him to pardon other criminals. It's not rocket science. "Hey guys! I can control who can go free! Where are my close buddies? Ah yes, pardon. Oh you want that too? I love money, just so you know."
Yes! And public executions! And gulags! And become forever president! And criminalize free press and political opponents! And strengthen ties with North Korea, sell them nuclear weapons! Annex Greenland, Panama, Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, attack Europe together with Putin! Heil Trump! Our dear leader! (not mine, I'm European thank fuck)
For fuck sake, how are people so dumb to elect this crooked pedo... How dumb are people to elect him a second term, after the first disaster.... How are people still supporting him, even though he's doing a Hitler's playbook 101... How are people not seeing that hate, violence, war and megalomania always end up in suffering for all, not just your opponents, resulting in disaster and agony, and thousands if not millions of deaths. Right now the estimates are 600.000 to 1 million deaths as a result of cutting USAID. He's far from done. This will end up bad for us all.
This is used for launching torpedoes, they are called wire guided. Although they mostly use thin copper wire for that. But the seas are vast. It would mean you would need cables of hundreds of kilometers per drone, they will break under its own weight after a few hundred meters, if they are even able to reach that. Even if you only want to use them to defend your territorial waters, that's 12nmi (22km) from your coastline.
Another option you might think off is a cable to the surface, but it will be dragged down when the drone moves. Warships usually move between 20 and 30 kts, carriers can go even faster. You need a drone capable of catching up but with these speeds there's a significant amount of drag. The wire guided torpedoes have a copper wire spool so it doesn't pull a wire though the water, but lays the wire behind it. If you want to have a drone with a massive fiber optic cable winch inside itself, the drones will get huge.
So when using cables, drones are kinda useless as it would only work short range and we already have torpedoes which are very effective at sinking ships. Only one is needed to sink a massive ship. It explodes under the ship, creating a massive amount of pressure, then a vacume, breaking any ship in half. As you can see here.
So current submersible drones are operating autonomously and are not remotely controlled. This is the best option imo, or like I said before: semisubmersibles. But engaging targets autonomously is a tricky thing. You don't want it to accidentally hit the wrong one. But when you have an acoustic profile of your target, it's definitely possible. There are already torpedoes with these capabilities, as well as missiles targeting radar profiles or locking on stored images. But like I said before, you need to have this information about your target. So in most cases a sub needs to have logged the ship while being close to it.
The issue with submersible drones is connection. Underwater only very low frequency can go through the water, reaching outside of the water. There are new technologies to improve it, but it's very limited. So drones would need to operate autonomously. It's possible, but detection and acquisition is hard, and based on known loggings in databases. And loggings do not exist for newer platforms, or if a platform received new screws for example. Semisubmersibles are a better option, they can be equipped with starlink for example. You can see their effective use already with Ukraine, fighting off the Russian black Sea fleet without a navy in their own. Fully submersibles are possible, but much more difficult to use effectively. The US already has them, but mainly for logging and registering the sound velocity (based on salinity and temp, on different depths) but not for engaging, or at least as far as we know so far.
What they, and most other countries need, is much more smaller ships.
The reason there are no battleships produced since 1944 is because they suck. It's a lot of firepower on a single platform. 1 modern torpedo and everything is a coral reef. Battleships were to be on the line of the battle, the naming comes from ship of the line. But these days we don't have line battles anymore. We have long range missiles. So it's basically a slow platform with a loss of most of your firepower if it sinks. And it will sink, when 500 cheap drones will easily saturate it's defense capabilities.
They want to add a railgun. Any idea how much energy that takes? It needs to be nuclear powered, otherwise the entire shill will be defenseless for a long time after each shot, as it needs to refill it's batteries since a shot depletes the entire ship. But ok, nuclear powered you say, the US can do that. Ok, great, now you have a weapon which can fire... so fast, the curvature of the earth and gravity have too little influence on the projectile, so over the horizon targeting doesn't work, only line of sight. Again, ships these days aren't supposed to be in line of sight range when fighting, we have long range missiles. So a railgun is useless. They found out during the Zumwalt disaster.
Clearly they used AI to render this ship. Look at the helicopter platform. It will be mostly unservicable with a seastate above 3 which is most of the time. The entire deck will constantly be washed over, no helo can land or takeoff from that. Next to that not all surfaces are angled, creating a huge radar cross section. Easy target.
So this isn't a serious combat platform, this is a micropenis compensation project. Why else would it be named after the senile dictator? Hitler wanted 2 battleships too, they both sank (one without seeing battle once). Those resources would have been much better spent on much more U-boten.
Navies want bigger ships with more capabilities, but the actual need these days is small specialized escorts ships. Small, fast ships able to escorts the high value larger platforms for defense in depth all combined with a wide spread insane amount of firepower. Some ASW, some AAW, some ASuW, but not everything at once. A single loss shouldn't be decisive to the eventual battle outcome. Strength in numbers. But tell that to a crooked pedo dictator with a micropenis.
Many of his religious followers believe Jesus will return and they will go to heaven when there is a total world destruction event, caused by a conflict with Israel and unbelievers. They want to support Israel with loads of weapons, because they want the civilization ending even to happen as soon as possible so they will go to their imaginary God. They are completely metal and fucked up and have nothing to do with facts, reality and science. The followers who are dead serious are greatly misinformed due to his propaganda, due to their only source for news is fox which is also Trump propaganda and because they lack proper education and intelligence, hence again the whole issue.
Yep, and a large number of his followers think that is a good thing, because they think teachers are brainwashing children
It starts to look like a cult. Dismissing science and claiming their leader is God-like, while breaking off ties with the outside.
All the oil, cocain and rare earth's are mine!
