LOL we used to test the tank transmissions at 60F below zero in a climatic chamber. We had special oil 0W10 synthetic.
That was back in the 80s.

Based on the German’s experience in Russian combat.

I’m glad to hear they are not shifting their focus to fighting the climate.

Oops, looks like I DIDN'T think of everything.

Chips should be declared a strategic asset and all chips sets must be produced domestically by 2025 or face 100% import tariff.

So what’s the reward system for China to destroy their best customer? Don’t understand.

Dunno.
I am kinda enamored of the rule “Don’t get involved in a land war in Asia.”
Any war with the PRC should be on the USN, which worries me.

Nobody is ever gong to nuke anybody in the future. The 1945 use of nukes was it. A one-off. Nevah going to happen again.

It’s a new amphibious assault technique, they are going to use surfboards.

I’m sure General Milley has already related this to our enemies, and will give them a heads-up before any military action is taken against them...if it ever is. Joe’s family has the potential to make tons more cash from these countries.

Heard on OAN TV this morning that we can expect China to nuke us.

Hope not, but Communist China has a population advantage and their manufacturing is less centralized ...

I am all for bringing critical chip manufacture to the US, and general US Manufacturing strength in everything else.

After the Winter Olympics in Beijing the US should immediately issue visas to Taiwanese chip engineers and technicians. Seriously.

We will find out who has them more robust industrial base during a protracted naval war with China. We sink a PLAN ship they replace it with 5. They sink one of ours and we are lucky to replace it at all...

Go any special forces are there? I always thought they did operations rather than fight nations.

We have chip engineers in the USA now. We just need to open up production here.

I predicted some time ago that Russia and China will launch concurrent attacks — as to time, not target — before 2023: Russia (with Belarus, probably) will attack Ukraine; and China will attack Taiwan.

I’m worried about the US Navy’s Similar Wokeness, too.

“With Biden in charge it is the right time for the Chinese to act. Plenty of fifth column personnel in the administration and among the populace.”

Yup.
