    There is nothing isolationist about peaceful trade and travel. Nothing. Get it right. Sorry for the intrusion. You may all now resume squabbling over which leg of The State gets to stand on your neck. Trade and travel is also dependent on security, good order at sea, and low energy prices. Countries with highly dynamic economies being threatened with SRBMs and IRBMs by tinpot dictators (South Korea, Japan, et al), the risk of chokepoints being mined and/or blockaded (the Strait of Hormuz), and pirates running roughshod over the SLOCs (Strait of Malacca and the Gulf of Aden) aren't exactly conducive to this. For those who think they can live with that, then I hope they enjoy their new $75,000 Hondas (that contrary to vehicles built by domestic manufacturers for many countries, you can count on to _work_), $10,000 Samsung TVs, and gas at $10 a gallon.
  3. Eighty in French is also <<quatre (four) vingt (twenty)>>. Hence, 80 blaze it YOLO 360 no-scope.
  4. Alex Wellerstein's conversation with former CIA and NSA head, Michael Hayden, on secrecy: http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2016/03/18/conversation-with-a-super-spook/

  6. Russian filmmaker is granted unprecedented access by the DPRK to shoot a propaganda piece. Instead, uses side footage to show how bogus the affair was: I especially like the part of people bringing flowers to the statues of the Great Leader and the Dear Leader, only for them to be returned to the sellers to be sold to the next group that came to pay its respects.
  7. I don't know. Given its history in From Software games, how do you _not_ use the Moonlight as a magic specced character in a Dark Souls game?
  8. Cyberdyne Plans Nasdaq Listing Next Year for U.S. Expansion And if it wasn't tempting fate enough, they're in the business of making robits too.
  9. If you got Dawn of War 2: Retribution, the Necron Lord hero for The Last Stand mode is free for a limited time.
  10. Looks like the SM-6 is pulling double-duty for long range AAW and anti-surface warfare: http://news.usni.org/2016/03/07/navy-sinks-former-frigate-uss-reuben-james-in-test-of-new-supersonic-anti-surface-missile
  11. For those who are still hankering for a STALKER-like game ('til the resurrected GSC Game Worlds comes round to it):
  12. Emphases mine.
  13. I usually watch LPs on my laptop while playing MMOs, waiting in a lobby or for matchmaking to find a game, or the like. It also ensures I'll never throw away money at a point and click adventure game ever again. I also find them entertaining to watch (or at least listen to, if my boss-sense is tingling) while I'm at work. There are some LPers whose personalities I enjoy immensely (Helloween4545 and the former Freelance Astronauts come to mind for me) and there are others who get me to critically engage with a game (CannibalK9's LP of the Void/Turgor).

    For all you old school Adam Reed fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq7Vm4wM2p4
  15. Racially charged topic on this forum? Gee, I wonder who could possibly have written it?
  16. Re-watched the Wall. And remembered how I seriously wished that movie was just animated from start to finish.
  17. This guy's videos are very well-made and make for an informative watch: Currently only concerns itself with the Second World War and the Imperial Roman Army.
  18. I can also name one other spot kgambit was being clever, and it relates to one of its other roles it serves in preparing the battlespace. Also, a London Blitz throwback:
  19. As they say, the Air Force has the smartest enlisted of all the services:
  20. Lolwut? Cost of Russian oil is ~ 10-14 US dollars per barrel. Do you meant they restore their 700% profit level? ...and the 699% gets sliced off the top and pocketed by foremen, gets put into London penthouses by oligarchs, and goes to paying off accountants to cook the books and to keep their mouths shut before taxes get collected from it.
  21. Pop quiz: What is this aircraft? Answers in haiku form (or in an otherwise cleverly roundabout fashion) only, please.
