Calling Ursula her “excellency” sounds so weird to me, but apparently that’s correct for foreign officials?? Would never have expected that.

I mean, it’s technically illegal here, just that the government turns a blind eye when it’s popular

While I know it won’t happen, it would be so fucking funny if they arrested all of the like 500k attendees for the salute

Fucking clowns, I hate Thompson so much

It has been equally present here since independence basically. The concert just drew them out of the woodworks more than usual

I’m extremely doubtful of this. Just the chance that a software kill switch exists is way too big of a threat for the US itself. Imagine if Russia or China managed to hack into their systems and get a hold of it, instantly bricking almost the entire US airforce. That would be catastrophic.

Unrelated but I remember last year noticing that what used to be a Tesla dealership was turned into a BYD dealership in my country and couldn’t help but feeling how it was so representative of the situation

My exact thoughts

I mean I’m no expert either but you can see this characteristic burning on most ICBM videos, it’s just the reentry vehicle reaching insane temperatures.

E.g.: https://youtu.be/3ZM3y5qpMgY

I think the difference in speed in the video is just perspective + distance, plust Iran has many different types of balistic missiles. I mean, technically speaking many balistic missiles do go at hypersonic speeds, but that’s not what people mean when they say hypersonic missile, they refer to missiles that fly very low at hypersonic speed and can maneuver before hitting their target. You can clearly see the balistic trajectory of these missiles.

I doubt Iran has any real hypersonic missiles, these are probably just balistic missiles.

Tbf we could use it

DUDE, can we just like, stop, for a moment?

I read that as a six-year-old group that was named “among” and was extremely confused.

If they’re going to attack a NATO member (humongous if), it definitely isn’t going to be Finland. It’s gonna be one of the Baltic states.

Possible, but I wouldn’t really see this as evidence of that in particular. Israel has been conducting subversive actions against Hamas and the Houthis for a long time and something like that pager attack was likely being planned far ahead.

Yeah but that’s an example of tyranny by the majority. Just because a majority of people want something doesn’t make it right. In theory I like the idea od banning the AFD, but I’m scared of the potential backlash it could cause and what the consequences could be. In the modern day when people are so segregated in their own bubbles, I feel like this could make them more extremist (“Look, I was right, they’re just trying to silence the truth")

Why does it matter to you?

Yeah they can exert a lot of influence
