From what I can tell, America has better access to alternative viewpoints and the ability to express them largely without fear.

Which would be meaningless. Those missile accelerate to like Mach 4 in a second.

A plane going forward at Mach 2 would add .5 second to a missile fired backwards to get to Mach 4.

lol what?

Rockets aren’t attached to the plane when they launch. They release then fire there rockets. It might be near instantaneous but missile thrust has no bearing on an airplane.

Missiles would just have their initial attitude slightly upright - much like a javelin.

Switched from Android to iPhone.

Everything just works in the Apple ecosystem. Android has an app for everything but none of them work well. They always require some sort of configurations, etc, etc. what really set me over was consistently missing calls because my phone just didn’t receive them.

Seriously, nothing in the Android ecosystem works well together. It all just sucks.

None of that takes much power, nor is it unique to EVs. ICE have much of that now.

Also cars are not centralizing those systems. They’re all in independent modules.
