    I'm sure all spiders dying would have some negative effect on ecology but.

    Think how much we would learn by studying the aftereffects of a spider-free Earth. It will totally be worth the downside.

    In a decade, as the last humans choke to death from the thick swarms of flies filling their every orifice, feasting, they will remember this post and wordlessly curse your name.

    Russia's doing some good old chestbeating. Everybody likes to do a bit of banging on their chest every once in a while, but Putin seems to like doing it a bit too much.

    Because of said chestbeating affinity, my international security professor recommended to us students that Finland ought to seek NATO membership, or barring such, a separate defensive pact with the USA.

    So, uh, guys.

    I've got Berserk, Trigun and Gungrave on DVD, I'd be delighted to share if you'd lend us a nuke or two.

    Russia's chest beating is on the level with North Korea's chest beating though. Their military is so hilariously under-funded and outdated at this point.

    That's not what Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 told me.

    russian military flights in 2007

    fantastic

    and thanks to money grubbing contractors and a couple of incredibly lousy governments our military is at the weakest it's been in...

    i can't think of a time in recent history when we've been this weak relatively speaking

    The tabloids were keen to make a fuss at the time about the fact that Leuchars (the base from which we are presently scrambling interceptors) is scheduled to be closed. There won't be any fewer aircraft though, because the squadrons operating from Leuchars will move to Lossiemouth, which is further north, and in principle, a better place to base interceptors. The only reason we launch interceptors from Leuchars at the moment is that it has Typhoons and Lossiemouth has due-for-retirement Tornadoes.

    i'm not worried per se

    at the end of the day, the difference in conventional strength is rendered meaningless by the fact the UK and Russia both have nukes

    but the state of our conventional forces is still shambolic, the army is poorly equipped and cut in size, we're going to start relying more and more on the TA to make up the bulk of our forces and give them a shiny new name so people don't notice we're resorting to using part time reservists to save cash

    the RAF is having problems because all these shiny new American aircraft we've bought are nonsensically expensive and, with all the best will in the world, don't fucking work

    the navy is the worst of all though, for the first time since carriers were invented the nation that invented them won't have any and the rest of our surface fleet is tiny too

    something has gone very wrong

    When I was in high school there were rumors the the principal was totally deep in student pussy. Well, it turned up in the news that he had sex with a student at another school he was principaling.

    What else was true?! I need to go back through my high school rumors book and check. I should've trusted those never shutting the fuck up kids.

    I'm not sure you want too big of a navy.

    They're great for driving around and pushing smaller nations around.

    Not so great the second a nation with anything modern decides they don't want them there anymore.

    Or a smart nation without anything modern.

    Wow, ok. Warning: graphic.

    I wake up and can't open my left eye because it's crusted shut. I blindly reach for my box of tissues to blow my nose (I am officially sick now, can't even speak my voice is gone), and then BLOOD EVERYWHERE. Bloody nose, still going strong. So now I have a tissue shoved up my nose and clearly a conjuncitivtis-infected left eye which is seriously freaking me out. I guess I should go to the health center and find out if it's bacterial or viral, so I can hopefully get some drops or meds or something...

    i converted you! when did it happen? tell me the details.

    also that prop plane is actually pretty damn fast. It's a bit slower than the B-52, but not by much.

    also it is possibly the noisiest military aircraft ever, the propellers spin faster than the speed of sound.

    They've continuously upgraded the B-52 though, and switched it to jet power. The only 50's left about it is the frame. We have more B-1B's than B-52s at this point, too.

    strategic bombers are an anachronism anyway

    they rate behind land based ICBM silos in terms of effectivness and those are waaaaaay behind sub launched ICBMs

    sub launched ICBMs were a complete game changer, anything else is useless
