  • Sonar systems[…]generate slow-rolling sound waves topping out at around 235 decibels[…]. These sound waves can travel for hundreds of miles under water, and can retain an intensity of 140 decibels as far as 300 miles from their source.

    140 dB is a gunshot at the source. About 190 in air pressure will cause an explosive shockwave that can kill a person. 235 dB in dense water pressure is…somewhat more violent, as we understand how the decibal curve works and molecular pressure at depth.









  • NATO would allow the US to go home; it’s more than strong enough. Though the US power would certainly be missed, especially since it was partly their idea to have friends against common enemies and stay safe.

    The rules exist for very good reasons and are the cornerstones of what ensures NATO is a peace-keeping.defenaive pact, not a biased empirical-style alliance. Also, keep in mind that all countries of NATO are free to involve themselves in the Ukrainian War, they just cannot do so under the NATO banner. And if their homelands are attacked in retaliation, NATO will be less oblige as they fundamentally are anti-aggressor.

    If Trump left NATO, the US actions will be remembered and it’s unlikely they’d get back in with the same powers.




  • There is too much to cover here.

    As I said earlier, you clearly have minimal alignment of the primary understandings most others have. For starters, it’s clear you don’t even understand the premise of NATO.

    This is like me projecting opinions about cars when I think they’re made of wood and drawn by horses.

    You’re either a troll or you’re peaking on the Dunning-Kruger graph based on some obscure and narrow-scoped details you may have garnered. It’s so small picture and fundamentally flawed or entirely untrue.



  • Your mindset is based on the shallowness of an acute modern opinion that disregards history as much as it does immediate reality and humanism.

    Or, to put it simply; you have as much growing up to do as you do learning the basics—at least to contribute in this forum.

    You’re new to this. Your opinion matters, but isn’t valuable. It seems valuable to you now, but isn’t to others. That’s your first step forward to knowledge.



  • They may have had the potential to be a superpower, but it’s apparent that they never had the leadership to conduct as one. Those inside the Kremlin bought into their own bullshit and thought of themselves as a superpower, not realising the machine within is operating on unlubricated, old, broken, and missing parts.

    This seems to be a common theme with countries that feed a superiority narrative to their people and other nations.
