Features:

190km range
500kg warhead
0.62m diameter
7.665m length

I dislike Trump more, but if Kamala wins, Ukraine war can lead to nuclear conflict and definitely a lot more dead soldiers- tough choices to make in the kind of time we are in today- both candidates are kind of bad news tbh, and a vote for either, is a vote to the system that owns them, for me, no thanks.

You got a point. Tough choice.
Two different war mongers, reporting to and supported by different war profiteering lobbies. Ultimately, it is ALL about money otherwise Republicans have no love for Russia neither the Democrats have any love for Ukraine. Some months ago, the two thieving parties joined hands together to set aside their differences on which war to support, and funded both Ukraine and Israel. What a joke!

So what is superior intellect combined with a declining political and military power looks like ?

When the Mongols conquered Persia in the thirteenth century, theywere themselves entirely uneducated andwere obliged to depend wholly on nativePersian officials to administer the countryand to collect the revenue. They retained aswazeer, or Prime Minister, one Rashid alDin, a historian of international repute. ​

​

the Prime Minister, when speaking to theMongol II Khan, was obliged to remainthroughout the interview on his knees. Atstate banquets, the Prime Minister stoodbehind the Khan’s seat to wait upon him. Ifthe Khan were in a good mood, heoccasionally passed his wazeer a piece offood over his shoulder.​

​

So it doesn't matter if the West continues to print more nobel leaurate every year or how many top universities are located in the West. The moment their military and political power decline relative to their opponents, or even worse collapses. These intellectuals, just like the Persian intellectuals under the Mongols, will be to the use of the new conquering race (which are mostly backward).

So just how far has the West declines ?
The high point of the West should be considered the Belle Epoch

Belle Époque - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Belle Epoque coincided with what people call the great divergence, the socioeconomic phenomena where the White race eclipsed everyone and anyone on earth including past mighty states (Ottomans, India, China).

This is the time where Europeans could just walk into Qing's capital city and divided the city into neighborhoods for whites.

The Human Zoos of Europe & America

The dark unforgotten part of colonialism

medium.com

This is the high time of the Western civilizations.

But WW1 came .The result ? 3 mighty christian European empires cease to exist, in their place, small nation states (Russian empire, German and Austrian empire broken up to form the likes of Czechia, Ukraine, Poland etc.)

WW2 follows up, and Europe lose almost their entire sovereignty and a huge chunk of their people and industry in the process. Germany no longer a proud militaristic society, now divided into two, they're still and economic and intellectual power, but again they have lost the political and military power (reminds you of the Arabo-Persians in the 13th century).

Then what's left in Europe is the UK and France, and they only figured out they no longer pulls the string during the Suez crisis (1956). Where they fail to subdue newly independent Egypt. Other colonial power like the Netherlands caved to former colony Indonesia in the contest for Papua, while Portuguese lose Goa to India.

It would took another 40 years before Britain accepts the fate that they're no longer an empire with the handover of Hong Long to Communist China in 1999.

They try another war in the Middle East but even that they fail. Afghanistan falls back to taliban rule in 2021, while the war in the Middle East resulted in the return of Islamism, even though the Americans engineered war in these region to introduce liberal democracy.

If Suez in 1956 is humiliating enough for the French and the UK, for failing to perform against newly independent Egypt. Then 2024 saw the combined West failed to compel Houthis to open the Red Sea, and the Houthis aren't even a nation state, but an armed group hailing from the mountains of Yemen.

So we're already the relative decline in capacity of the West to impose their will using the political and military tools. It will continue to decline, I guess the upcoming war in the Pacific with China will be the main blow to the West's ability to shape the world to their whims.

So be patient. Soon enough, the host in which parasites like Israel land on will be subdued by time.

The western world developed technology a hundred years before the Muslim world , atleast.

It's been a catch up game


The Muslim world fell asleep and subsequently got exploited

You snooze you lose


With time I find the simplest explanations most powerful

I read an article the other day on the Arab News website titled "Israel has shown ideology is no match for technology." The link is below. Mind you, I don't read Arab news in general holistically, as their focus is just on the useless real estate business; I view it as a wealth preserver and not a generator of additional revenue streams and development in the overall economy due to lack of manufacturing, Research and Development facilities., as my philosophy is that the area's economy should dictate the infrastructure. I also believe a self-evolving culture that corrects itself over its lifespan wins in the end, as the Europeans have shown before and after the Dark Ages. This article, I will say, sums up my beliefs pretty well and shines the reality we often miss.

Now, back to the article, he made the simple point that we sell ideology to the locals and recruit cheap soldiers, imposing the ideology of granting Jannah (paradise) and Martyrism and do not place much importance on human life, along with adopting copied weapons that have no utility in the current modern warfare environment and name them after long dead Islamic figures.

The author goes on to state, "Scientific superiority is the key to human victories, and the development of war machinery is a direct result of the advancement of institutions and society." I have repeatedly said when discussing Pakistan's economic issues that before you make any structural changes to the economy, you need to change the culture. I talked about on this forum how Manmohan Singh, from the early 1990s to his Premiership, implemented policies to socially mobilize upward India's bottom class, set quotas for rural children to have seats at colleges and universities, health reforms in the nation, and changing the economy through university policies focusing on IT, Software development, etc.

The Europeans came out of the Dark Ages by translating books and texts; their Churches and clergy were at the forefront of this, and the first universities were church affiliates. The Crusades had a profound impact as they opened European civilization to other civilizations that were possibly more advanced or not, and this led to social changes within European society, such that it wasn't Jesus sending down cures from Heaven; it was worldly knowledge. This is where the Europeans fought off the clergy and set a course for themselves. If you look at the volume of books that were translated from other languages to European languages, it was profound. (Look at the culture; you're at a bus stop; either someone is reading or listening to an audiobook, but the same can't be said of the Middle East or Pakistan. The Arabs have a camel roasting party and place emphasis on that, and Pakistanis on Halwa and Puri; the Indians, a good segment, are now going backward to their dancing routines and posting TikToks on that).

Do you want to see the scale of disparity? Although the Arab world has 5% of the world's population, it produces only 1.1% of published books. I believe Jews probably publish more books than Arabs internationally; now, if you want to compare translated work to Israel, let's use 2008 figures: Arabs translated 300 books into Arabic, while Israelis translated 7,414 into Hebrew.

Arab Books:

Translating books into Arabic

The U.A.E. is stepping up efforts to make Western books available to its citizens, including current bestsellers.

www.latimes.com

Israel Books:

https://www.nli.org.il/media/5117/statistics-for-2008.pdf

In the Islamic world, there are an average of 500 researchers per 1,000,000 people; in Europe, there are an average of 4,000 researchers per 1,000,000 people. This does not factor in the brain drain that has occurred in our regions in the last 30 years. Latin America has recently crossed the threshold and is advancing beyond us.

It's a long topic, but in the end, we didn't carry the torch we initially made; we passed it off to others, as we do at the opening of the Olympics, never to see it again.

This topic is long, it would be a great thread

But what Israel did was not technological brilliance, it was likely a mixture of deep intelligence penetration and and sell outs within Lebanon

It was also a potentially foolish and emotional move

Ideology is important to shape technology

Israel is one of the most religious societies by Western standards and is motivated by religious ideology, yet they manage to do science just fine. Their weapons systems are also named after their religious figures.

The problem is not religion. It is how we use religion. Let us not look for easy excuses again.

The author goes on to state, "Scientific superiority is the key to human victories, and the development of war machinery is a direct result of the advancement of institutions and society."

Absolutely nothing new in the article that hundreds of people haven't already been saying, including on this very forum and the old PDF for literally decades.
