  • In one battle I read on the Ukraine war, Russia sent out 1000 Iranian drones at once to destroy 5 targets. They knew most will be shot down, but if 4 or 5 drones hit the target, it will destroy the target complete. That’s how these drones were designed to be used, dirt cheap to make, but impossible to stop in swarms.

    Even 200 still isn’t a lot if they aren’t coming all at once, and Israel’s defense can handle that easily. They’re designed to shoot down 100+ numbers or rockets, shells & other air borne targets going much faster than drones before they hit their target.










  • Being accused isn’t the same as being found guilty. Especially in the case of real estate, there is always a possibility that what he did to skirt to law and obtain that wealth may not actually be illegal.

    That being said I don’t know enough on the laws or what he did, but it’s probably likely why China hasn’t killed him yet. They likely are doing a more drawn out investigation to find out if it’s their own poorly written policies that enable men like this to obtain that wealth and what to do to correct it in the eyes of common Chinese citizens.


  • Comac

    I remember reading the Chinese had stagnated investment into Comac because it was more cost effective for their airlines to buy Boeing planes instead. But after the two 737-MAX crash, the Chinese was restarting investment and R&D for a Boeing replacement, however because they were far behind due to lack of investments, they wouldn’t have anything ready until 2026 the earliest. So I doubt they will be able to compete anytime soon.





  • It’s as likely that I’m overestimating the support for this plan as it is that you’re underestimating it

    Indeed. It’s hard to make a clear assumption on how Israel’s geopolitical agenda plays out, and your assumption maybe more correct than mine.

    To my horror, the Israeli center and even left are far more amenable to the full ethnic cleansing of Israel-Palestine than any time in my lifetime.

    The origin of the Palestinian - Israel conflict is of statehood and governmental control, not ethnicities. Arabs who have never called themselves Palestinians but have lived in the state of Israel since it’s founding have as much claim to the region as Palestinians themselves and are of the same ethnicity. In other words even if Israel remove all Palestinians from the regions they want, it will never be considered ethnic cleansing by the rest of the world, because Palestinians isn’t an ethnical identity, it’s a political identity.
