  • Well, if it's a shaped explosion round, aka HEAT, then it 'forges' a jet of molten copper upon detonation, that is what 'cuts' though armor plate. Pedantic, yes. Technically not forged by human hands, also yes.

  • I think it's the 'equalizer' aspect. A knight would have to train for years to be proficient in swordplay, horse riding, and usage of a lance. Longbowman had to train from childhood. A wizard has to study magic for years.

    A peasant could pick up a gun and theoretically kill any of them.

    Americans in general are also more familiar with guns than swords or bows, so the "effectiveness" is more intuitive for our minds.

  • Russia ready for 'hot confrontation' with Europe at any moment, German intelligence head warns

  • Saddest part is his grand strategy is literally open source, i.e. "Foundations of Geopolitics", written by a Russian ultra nationalist, taught in Russian military academy's. Main points are weakening NATO and US by supporting internal strife and divisions, allowing Russia to take back its "land" and sphere of influence.

    Top many willing useful idiots for them to use. . .

    Threatening and posturing to destabilize Europe and NATO, while going heavily on grey zone warfare and divisive misinformation campaigns. At the top, should not want any kinetic warfare against NATO, but rhetoric, 'yes' men, and arrogance may make some think they can and should.

  • Trump Administration Cancels Annual Hunger Survey | The government has been measuring food insecurity since the mid-1990s but now says the report has become ‘overly politicized’

    Jump

  • True, but that kind of "both sides" is not helping. One side is hamstring by corporate donors and we need to primary the corpos out. The other side is actively taking food out of babies mouths, destroying public services, etc.

    Both are issues, but one is truly heinous and cruel.

  • Because his claims to care about "American jobs" are performative at best, is not in the white house to be a President, but to be a Grifter.

  • "I understood that reference"

    It would go a bit of the way, but would be pretty difficult to accept as honest regret/empathy and not just trying to save face.
