I feel like Airbus has a BIG opportunity in area of AWACS platforms - making an E-7 (AWACS-flavored 737) competitor would probably see more than a few interested buyers. Considering the success of the Saab 340 AEW&C, perhaps a collaboration between them could be useful. Upsizing and expanding the systems capabilities to use the additional space and power of an A320neo or A350 would be a very interesting basis for an AWACS, EW, and C3 platform. Also, it’d probably provide a good amount of headroom in terms of future extensibility.

I mean if Phony Stark is trying to get Twitter banned from the EU, this is definitely gonna increase the likelihood of that occurring

You’re allowed to say “fuck”

Nope. I think it’ll be worse than Afghanistan for Russia, because pretty much all Ukrainians speak Russian, and that’s a fascinating vector for domestic terrorism in Russia

I am fully aware of how obnoxiously opaque and misleading headlines tend to be in the modern media context. I do not need to be preached to about that.

My point is that Russia is demonstrably unable to achieve victory in their war with Ukraine, and that Ukraine is exhibiting an astounding level of strategic ability against Russia in retaliation for strikes against their own civilian infrastructure.

Moreover, there are absolutely zero rational or plausible scenarios in which the EU instigates a war against Russia, and claiming that the EU would even consider such a thing - outside of reacting to military action instigated by Russia - is not only nonsense, but also blatantly obvious Russophilic propaganda.

And, you know, the source OP posted is known to be a platform for RT, which is essentially Russian state media.

Lmfao what a vapid, petty tool.

I look forward to Mamdani signing some orders to revoke those orders.

Or better yet: replace references to Israel with “Jewish, Arab, Palestinian, or any other ethnicity” (maybe enumerating the ethnicities, which would be pointedly amusing, but also equitable and correct)

For me: a big component of it is a sensory thing. My brain does NOT like it when I can feel roughness on my fingers or hands. The best I’ve been able to do is just keep a bunch of good glass nail files around the house and in the bags I use and travel with, as well as some cuticle trimmers. That way I just trim and buff things out until my brain is like “mmmm yes this is fine, carry on”, and it’s way less of a compulsion.

But stress also often triggers it for me, and that’s harder to buff out :(

lol wow, just leaning further into the whole “FIFA is run by absolute fucking psychos” narrative I guess…

It’s insane that we defined a bunch of the things he and his circle are saying as “white supremacist stuff” back in the decades following the civil rights era, and now I guess we’ve decided as a society that that’s just an okay thing again?

I want off this ride, it’s not fun anymore :(

I deeply fucking hope the DNC doesn’t tap him like they tapped Hillary and Biden. Newsom is a corporatist neoliberal who’s simply opportunistically bandwagoning on public hostility towards orangeboi.

Move that decimal point to the right once or twice if you want Phony Stark to meaningfully react, because this is just a slap on the wrist.

Oh shit, awful timing, what with the pricing recently :(

Oof I hope not :(

Unitedstatesian here: please tell our government to fuck off.

lol they’re gonna make themselves a verb if they keep this outage cycle up

The “kill switch” is the logistics pipeline.

Look at Iran and their purchase and use of F-14s that we sold them before friendship ended. We (arguably) prematurely halted development and use of that airframe, and destroyed the aircraft when they were decommissioned instead of mothballing them, so that they would not be able to be used at spare parts. That’s the example case to compare against here. Granted, the situation and specifics are different, but there are still enough similarities to be a valid comparison point .

I’ll believe Putin’s “ready for war with Europe” when his refineries stop exploding and their petrochemical infrastructure can satisfy their domestic demand again. And I don’t see that happening soon.

And that’s why you validate serverside, not clientside, kids

But also, sweet little utility!

I’m honestly more than a bit aghast that the Israelis seem to have learned all the wrong lessons with regards to the Holocaust
