Might not be functional doesn't lend to the kind of odds I'd wager the continuing survival of humanity on.I would like to quote Oppenheimer, "the chances are near zero."
Just a few functional nukes can cause a lot of bad shit, and so I'd rather consider that a non-zero number of Russia's nukes work than let my hubris tell me none don't.
This is utterly wrong. US and Russia each sometimes tested as many nukes in one day as NK have *ever*. Wouldn't be surprised if China, the UK and France also pulled that off but don't know for sure off-hand.In modern times, I am not aware of any other countries conducting nuclear tests besides North Korea.
Not disagreeing with the "insane moron" part tho.
Yes.If I am not mistaken, those plans are made under Biden, so Trump might throw a fit and put those plans in the garbage if Trump gets re-elected.
Yes. I have heard from those in the industry that there are plans to build such fabs in the US in the near future. Yes, it will take time, but the industry--at least the American side--is already planning for it.
Russia can take Europe with it when it does destroy itself. We shoukd not want that. I really do think that Putin is delusional enough to go to war with NATO. At the very least, his gains in Ukraine has European capitals spooked, and that increases the chances of something bad happening. China tends to collapse upon itself in civil war one the Mandate disapears, so they're the lesser threat.To me, Russia has old ass nukes that might not even be operational.
Yeah, I forgot about NK. They're also a huge threat led by a madman. But I do not think them as big of one as Russia.
I guess that's similar to using a rolled up news paper to smack a dog being bad.They don't respond to that in the middle of a dog fight.
The US is colluding with several other nations (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Netherlands), to make something of a chip cartel akin to OPEC. The only way that this will be possible will be to replicate those TSMC fabs in other nations. We see this happening in states like Arizona and Ohio now.TSMC invested in fabs in Arizona.
So the US recognizes this fatal flaw woth Taiwan and is taking steps to make a takeover of Taiwan a lesser of a threat. It's still a possibility, though.The most advanced chips on the planet are ONLY built by TSMC HQ plants in Taiwan.
At the end of the day, Russia still stands as the bigger threat.Russia and China both destroy themselves. It's already happening.
Oh really?Only if you watch click bait
You Yanks think that all they do in FOOTBALL is dive and flop everywhere well thats what we non fans of Ice Fighting er I mean Ice Hockey think about that "sport"!
All we non fans ever see them do is fight.
I'm in Montreal and saw the Habs and Panther game and saw 2 all-out fights with both teams coming to blowsYou mean this game?
Hockey or canadian wrestling?I've been watching hockey for 30 years.
I have to say, no, I don't know the rules in detail.
A bigger dog.Would that just escalate the fight?
Throw @MrDude1 at them. He will wear gloves, jacket and mask for protectionLOL that might only works for dogs.
At his point, I have to assume this is a hypothetical situationNot entirely.
Yeah it is a "sport" where they go out on to an ice rink carrying sticks and a puck but that is only a rouse and pretense as all they will be doing is fighting/diving/flopping for the next hour or so.You mean figure skating?
Yeah I remember being told to dump a bucket of water on them. Like I got time to go fill a bucket up. Hose sounds better if they are close enoughI would need the dogs to fight long enough for me to go grab a bucket and fill it up with water.
A fire hose with the pressure turned all the way upThis will work but I rather not involve the fire department.
You don't.But I do.
It's not supposed to be. It's supposed to disorient them to the point where they stop. If you think you're gonna physically stop 2 pitbulls fighting by yourself then you'll be lucky if you don't lose anything.There has been some ideas in this topic already.
Hit them with the hose or toss a large blanket over them.Not sure that is threatening enough to get their attention
Grab them by the back legs and so long gay bowser their ass.That might work.
introduce a scarier animal into the mixWhat animal is that? How do I acquire this animal?
I got scars from that.I will wear gloves, jacket, mask for protection.
