He’s dead as f**k.

Not sure if the school playground shit is still going on or if we’re back to discussing the actual OP. Anyway, it’s looking like this lad came from a decent American family and was radicalised at college/uni. With the current administration and national feeling I wonder if this will lead to some quite serious door kicking and other anti terrorism type actions. It all feels a bit 9/11-esque.

Better video shows him carrying the rifle in a towel. 22M views · 198K reactions | NEW: FBI video shows Charlie Kirk... WWW.(!64.56:886 NEW: FBI video shows Charlie Kirk assassination suspect fleeing the scene..

I suspect that at some point in the next 5-10 years he would’ve taken his first political office and then maybe 10 years after that been a contender for the presidency. He was a very significant activist amongst the grass roots. However, I very much doubt he felt the need to have counter sniper teams at his events. Taking security that seriously doesn’t just mean dealing with snipers, it means bomb dogs, hostile vehicle mitigation, facial recognition, maintaining files of known opposition/threats, drone defences etc etc etc. No doubt this will change political events for some time though.

JFK and DJT were presidents though. This fella was just a popular activist. I suspect we all underestimate how easy something like this is. Dunno just a suspicion.
-
Clearly a weak mind too. Very poor character.

I only watched the video of it last night but it looked legit as f**k to me. Only thing that slightly surprised me was the volume of blood flow. But you can even see his face distort from the hydraulic pressure. I doubt he felt anything at all.

Not sure how accurate this is but just seen this. Whoever it was I’d say they were very confident with a rifle. Not necessarily former forces or pro but a 200 yard neck shot in that scenario is a pressure shot. In a field on your own you could hammer a four inch gong all day long but making that shot in that scenario is someone who is familiar with taking shots under pressure I’d say. Interesting to see how this plays out.

You just can’t stop can you. I’ll leave you to it mate.

So what? He’s died as a consequence of, and for, his beliefs. Your comment reads as a thinly veiled version of “got what he deserved”.

Not entirely surprising given how broken politics is and how he intentionally provoked debate on super charged political issues. What he did, we need more of, from all political corners. He’s now a martyr in the war on the freedom to express yourself.

Oilfield worker?

The legislation is kinda meaningless in drawing a conclusion. What really matters is the data on how many are actually vaccinated. Sweden could have 100% vaccination rate which would then not support what you are saying.

We’ve bought B already and are to buy more (very f***ing slowly). This announcement is specifically the A variant for a nuclear strike role. My concern is given every other capability is hanging by a thread what impact is this new capability going to have? Having read a bit more the As will likely be straight swaps for future Bs so they will reduce the overall carrier strike capability. Maybe that’s a good trade off. But that money could’ve gone into more submarines, the tempest program, or any number of other big impact systems. Like I said, I’m not sure how I feel really. Kinda feels like it
-
The a isnt.
-
Mixed feelings on this. Yeah great we now have sub strategic nuclear options to counter the same. Plus the A variant will be generally handy for conventional deep strike. However, it’ll cost probably 2B to generate, introduces a third fast jet platform to maintain, could the typhoons not have delivered a credible alternative, and finally how does this impact tempest…

If I’m not mistaken they got RAF pilots to fly the first ops as it was deemed politically less sensitive British citizens getting caught than yanks. I don’t think they were flights over the USSR though. I think that might’ve been east Germany or somewhere less sensitive.
-
Neither, pure reconnaissance plane. Fast as f**k. A Lockheed skunkworks product.
-
U2 wasn’t made to outrun, just be out of range full stop. Or was that the BS they fed POTUS to get the flights authorised
-
SR71 Blackbird. Their plan when a SAM caught them was to drop the hammer.
-
Is anyone really surprised? I mean he did the same thing to the Syrians in his first term. I think he kinda gets off on bombing people that previous centrist administrations didn’t have the bottle to do.

I’m not read up on it but a state or organisation can maintain a readiness of x months/years away from having a weapon for years. Essentially having the tools materials and skills to complete the delivery but choosing to not complete that as a means of deniability/de-escalation. They then just continue work on materials skills and tools to enhance the quality and quantity of the weapons should they choose to complete the development. That’s not to say this isn’t another “WMDs” situation.

As f****d up as all this is. There is some wild video from an airline pilot over Dubai of a barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles in their boost phase. Doomsday type imagery. Equally wild the video coming out of Israel of the terminal phase. Warheads raining down like something out of a Hollywood alien invasion film. Including some getting successfully intercepted. Wild wild shit. If Ukraine is the war of drones, this is the war of ballistic and anti ballistic missiles.

About a month ago the yanks moved a huge strategic bomber force to Diego Garcia… I’d say they knew what was coming.

Does nitrogen from the space walking thrusters condense in the cold of space forming droplets? My first thought.
