I would be wary of wearing anything that can fold me into a briefcase.

This seems just as toyish as did dinnerplate sized drones 2y ago. So chances are I'm wrong again.

Takes guts to admit you were wrong. Take my upvote!

Why this prototype combat rig could help Army soldiers fight a possible war with China

The subcaption of the video was a bit alarming. So is the US planning this as well?

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

China has been planing to reunite with Taiwan for decades, and they are clearly building a military capable of that. The US has committed to protecting Taiwan. That is the US has been planning war with china since not long after WWII. It hasn't happened yet, it may never happen, but it is planned for and one of the more likely wars the US could get involved with.

If your country doesn't have a plan to go to war with every other country in the world (separately) your military leaders are incompetent. Most counties far away are very low risk and so the plans don't have to be well thought out, but you should have at least the start of a plan. The more likely war is the better you plans should be.

I am getting all the more confident that China will win that war. The US has been performing lousy over the past few seasons of War, and the new US management and owners instill anything but confidence in the team.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

If you look weak, you're a target. The only way to have peace is to look strong.

The US has been working on stuff like this for decades.

[–] worhui@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Obviously not true, do you think anything the US does is planned?

Ok, but can I still fit all my tps reports and a granola bar in there with this?

The youtube guy (penguinz0) or something like that tested one of these.I for one was underwhelmed.

You know, I really respect his approach. Most of what he talks about is stupid internet drama, but then he’ll turn around and force his impressionable audience into pro-Palestine, anti-Epstein, anti-Christian nationalism, class conscious while staying goofy to maintain engagement.

He’s also transparent.

People like him give me a semblance of hope for the future generations. I would obviously prefer the younger generation to read up on poli-sci but that’s a big ask for the brain rot era.

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep, same. He seems to have no real agenda, just a dude with a huge audience saying what he thinks about whatever he feels like talking about, and he does it in a fairly entertaining manner.

Charlie comes out with some poor takes sometimes, but I think he’s just misinformed and not malicious, which I can’t say about Assmold or the rest of the influencers that have wandered into politics in recent years

Is this the new game changer for the Ukrainian battlefield?
