The war in Ukraine has highlighted the possibility that all of our large weapons platforms are nearly useless. Naturally the next question is "what is a military supposed to be then?". The answer may be "way more precision missiles". And we're going to have to work together with allies on that.

I guess if any company would be first to do it, the one that focuses on temporary living spaces would make the most sense.

Yup, a month and a half delay. Ridiculous.
I was wondering how he did this, and someone linked to a website that can make this projection. There are some more interesting artifacts that he's not including.

I wonder if Napoleon counts as all five.
Thread
• Thread describing the timetables required for maintenance of Russia's nuclear arsenal, raises the theory that some significant portion of their nuclear missiles no longer work. The US spends $10 billion a year maintaining our nuclear weapons, Russia has slightly more missiles, but their entire defense budget is $40 billion. However! Other experts strongly disagree. Further even if only a quarter of Russia's warheads work, that's a lot of damage.
