Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they “should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used”.

what assistance would that not be if not protecting them in some way or another?

I think you got that wrong enough it warrants a correction…

They gave them up for assurances that Russia and the USA would protect them if they were attacked.

Edit: that’s why the USA is giving them weapons, they’re honoring the deal, or at least trying to, not 100% sure on specifics, I’m sure it was vague on what protecting them would entail.

Hopefully they can be moved

Very possible, but putins crazy.

I don’t know how Ukraine would convince Russia the threat is real without at least a test detonation somewhere and that’s better than bombing someone, but also not ideal.

I really hope it doesn’t come to that as escalation will be fast, but if they keep being strung along and not being given means to end the war there might not be another choice =(

They’ve been talking about those trials and pre-trials for many years, probably over a decade at this point.

Everything I’ve heard is they still haven’t figured out how to do it effectively on a ship. Stationary land based would probably be easier though as that removes the size/power restrictions.

The challenge is both the production time and the high cost of such a high-tech missile. Typically, the US Navy fires two missiles at each given airborne target to guarantee its downing, and an interceptor missile costs millions of dollars, much more than the Iranian missiles it shoots down.

This was always going to be a problem and it’s their fault for not moving sooner on it.

If an adversaries missiles costs a million dollars, how do you challenge them? Make missiles that costs less and overwhelm them.

Not only do you gotta worry about Iran’s or others cheaper missiles, but now there’s drones that are a fraction of the cost.

If the US enters a major conflict, I wouldn’t be surprised to see high value assets get lost or damaged due this problem.

Lets see the US come out with some new advances in tech with lower cost.

I briefly believed it before realizing I should check.

It tastes good, but i feel pretty guilty doing it

I don’t do it often, but pasta with a cream of mushroom or clam chowder soup.

Maybe not too weird, but that’s probably as weird as it gets.

The Pentagon is directly working with SpaceX on this. Awhile ago they said they had a handle on it but that it was going to be an ongoing problem as Russian evades their measures.

This was in May, and they’ve obviously figured another way around.

“At this time we have successfully countered Russian use, but I am certain Russia will continue to try and find ways to exploit Starlink and other commercial communications systems,” Plumb said. "It will continue to be a problem, I think we’ve wrapped our heads around it and found good solutions with both Starlink and Ukraine.”

I think the title need a little work…

How can I prove I’m dead?

Someone else can, but the title says I have to.

So I’d never heard of sawstop so I looked it up.

Why couldn’t he get anyone interested in using that? It’s brilliant.

Maybe part of the monopoly ruling will have chrome taken away from them.

The executive pointed out that Prime Video with ads doesn’t show commercials in the middle of content. That could change next year.

So regular TV is designed around the ads.

Cliff hangers before ads are done not only for the story, but to keep you there through the ad to get the outcome to the cliffhanger.

That partially went away with the no ad streaming.

Now that shitty behavior is going to come back.

I do have a prime account as do use Amazon, but we haven’t watched a second of prime TV since they put ads in the included video subscription.

Pretty cool how this was being made for mortars and then it worked well for this

The U.S. Pentagon is preventing the Russian military from using Starlink internet terminals operated on the battlefield in Ukraine, John Plumb, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy at the U.S. Department of Defense, said in an interview with Bloomberg on May 9.

“At this time we have successfully countered Russian use, but I am certain Russia will continue to try and find ways to exploit Starlink and other commercial communications systems,” Plumb said. "It will continue to be a problem, I think we’ve wrapped our heads around it and found good solutions with both Starlink and Ukraine.”

SpaceX is working with the DoD on this and even the DoD thinks it’s going to be an on going problem.

Don’t forget food for children at home and in schools!

So are they going to delete all the votes prior to fix and require a revote in case people were duped about their options? Or are they okay with people voting without all the proper information and options?
