No medal, no citizenship.

Theoretically, a single operator controlled swarm could be used to all strike a hardened target at once, rather the current tactic we see in Ukraine of multiple drones which all have a dedicated operator being tied up striking an armored vehicle or hardened emplacement.

The ability to have one operator in control of the ability to strike a heavy target would come in mighty handy if you…say…have to eliminate a lot of prepared coastal defenses on an independence-minded island nation.

Not that I think drone swarms are particularly far-fetched in the realm of unmanned systems, but haven’t we learned by now to not just automatically believe whatever military tech China “announces” on state television?

Since at least 2024, China has been publicly trying to crack down on rampant corruption in its weapons procurement and R+D sectors, a lot of it connected to vaporware fake military tech.

Unless he’s fleeing DC a couple steps ahead of a mob with torches and pitchforks, he ain’t worried enough.

If anyone’s ever going to be able to crack the secret to widespread adoption of VR, I think it’ll be Valve.

Over $100 billion in research and investment just to go “Nah, nevermind.”

Yup. You definitely have no idea how treaties or international relations work.

I get that it’s scary that the US is doing it, but this is far from the first time world leaders have blustered about wanting territory that wasn’t theirs.

The international community didn’t support preemptive action even when 50,000 troops were massed on Ukrainian borders, they’re not going to do it when a single US combat asset hasn’t moved towards Greenland yet, and not a single policy decision has been enacted.

Edit- don’t get me wrong, if we start blockading Greenland, massing naval and amphibious forces, or building up ground units on the base in Greenland, then absolutely bomb the shit out of them, but the international community will never support action before that. It’s ludicrous to think they would.

…because the last window of opportunity for anticipatory self-defense has been repeatedly ruled by the international community to not extend that far?

Troops massing at borders is precisely the situation that the last window of opportunity is referring to.

I’m starting to think you don’t actually know the statutes involved or their previous legal cases, because if you did you’d know your “argument” is completely worthless.

STOP PRETENDING TO BE A RANDOM USER IN ORDER TO SELL THINGS

I think this might be the most insulting trend in current advertising. You’re not fooling anyone. Just stop.

They’re shooting them in the face with birdshot. It’s very small and is much less likely to penetrate into body cavities or break bone, but causes extensive soft tissue damage. This is intended to maim people.

He admitted the emergency exit was locked. When they unlocked it after the fire, there were patrons bodies piled up in front of it.

His negligence absolutely contributed to those people’s deaths.

Anyone who can so readily throw out the principle of anticipatory self defense knows that isn’t a “last window of opportunity” scenario.

Why do you want Denmark to break the law so badly?

Please explain how this meets the “last window of opportunity” restriction on anticipatory self-defense.

That article doesn’t give a single reason why it would be advantageous for Denmark to preemptively break the treaty.

You realize that treaties have legal repercussions built into them if they’re broken, right? And that Denmark is waiting for us to incur those repercussions (like sanctions), rather than them?

If they’re potentially fighting an invasion, why would they want to trigger additional hardships for themselves by breaking the treaty?

You really haven’t thought about any of this, holy shit.

…so you don’t understand treaties, or international relations, or anything like that?

You don’t see why Denmark preemptively violating the NATO charter weakens their position on the international stage considerably?

Also, I’m in the US. Like I indicated in the previous comment.

You absolute idiot.

Nobody’s going to swoop in and do it for us. If we want them to stop, we have to make them stop.

And preemptively break their NATO treaty obligations? The Danes aren’t shady backstabbers like us Americans, they’re going to let us break the treaty first.

You know, basically act like our allies. Which they are, until we break the relationship.

Danish troops are instructed to fire on invading US forces without asking for orders first.

Somehow, I think they’re taking him seriously.

Goebbels-lite needs a short drop and a sudden stop.

If it was about drugs, Orange Hitler wouldn’t have pardoned Balsonaro. It’s about oil and enriching his corporate money fountain.
