Decent film, credit to Villeneuve. But felt quite a bit rushed imo. I liked how they showed Jessica's connection with the fetus of Alia, but they didn't handle Paul's prescience and ethical dilemmas it created well enough. There's many concepts in the books that didn't make it into film. That...

Nuclear weapons reduce the chance of conflicts but increase the chance of a catastrophic nuclear war. I don't really believe in MAD, or maybe I should say my belief in MAD is conditional and with some limitations. Mainly, MAD deterrence requires rational actors. But as we see with guns, if...

Sandals need to strap around the ankle. Those were clearly not sandals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandal See my other response to Rood, above. Definitely sliders.

Outrageous. Only an 8 game ban for such a serious offence.

I don’t care.

Pogba. Next question

We need a good backup to Rashy. Bring him in.

Do you have access to what it says behind the paywall?

I think you might be asking the wrong questions. In my opinion, the right questions are "How many were actually targeted and with what volume of drones/missiles?" Without knowing the answer to those, the answer to your question is meaningless. But we know that Houthis only get a small fraction...

To be fair, it is easy to claim you don't have to do anything to counter a threat if you've never really faced it. One of the common ways to overcome a layered defence, is saturation. Sure, a CIWS could probably shoot down 4-5 drones, arriving simultaneously, in time. Could it should down 100...

Drone warfare is nothing short of revolutionary and paradigm shifting. How do naval ships combat hordes of cheap (relatively) drones? From a US perspective, if something were to go down on the straights of Taiwan, how do you protect the American fleet from 1000s of drones launched from the...
