if things keep going on the way they are KSA will be bankrupt in the next 5 years, or citizens will remove the Monarchy and you'll have the Islamic Republic of Arabia.
this is why they need a crisis. expect KSA/UAE to invade Qatar and oil shoots up $30 dollars to $70 a barrel. just waiting for oil tankers to be blocked from leaving the strait of Hormuz and oil terminals being attacked.
fear=$$
I think this whole Qatar thing is a staged crisis to effect oil prices. all involved are hurt be lower oil prices. what better way to increase oil prices besides war to increase oil by $10 or $20 dollars.
you can just look at the F-35 kill ratio at red flag against legacy fightesr it's like 15 to 1 17 to 1, 20 to 1, etc.
F-35 will pay for it's self in a war against a near equal.
F-35 cost is coming way down from what $120+ million during the early production to $89 million forecast in 2019/2020
tell you why US/EU/Japan has better software?? it's a fact you are new to the HPC game. I never said China wouldn't ever surpass US/EU/Japan in this area did I??
I already said that U.S,EU, and Japan tend to have better software code for running supercomputers, and I said the SW2060 has gimped memory compared to Knights Landing and Volta, but I also just clarified to my last post that China's Taihu Light has superior performance. not sure why you are...
you seem mad. you are taking what I said it having inferior software and slower memory to mean it's slower than U.S and Western supercomputers, haha. It's raw power is undeniable it's 5 times faster than anything the West has right now. calm down son
I think it's a insult for the White House wish Muslims a happy Ramadan and do these customs. we have killed 100,000s of Muslims, and displaced millions more.
did I ever say it was slower or inferior to anything the U.S has right now?? don't worry Summit,Sierra, and Aurora are coming soon.
Titan is dogcrap right now AMD 16 core+Tesla K20X, woefully outdated. POWER9+Tesla V100 you are looking at 10X performance gain.

China supercomputers are gimped by inferior software and slow memory. The later is obvious with the SW2060. I wonder how the next gen SW2060 chip will compare to Nvidia V100 and Intel Knights Hill in...
I guess I am biased, but I know Rafale and Typhoon are superior than both the F-16 and F/A-18, but India would have gotten a good deal to build the latter two in India...India would already have 50+birds by now on, and well on it's way to 126+
"Trump dropped chemical weapons" title is very misleading. Trump isn't coordinating what is going on in Syria. he's pretty much giving full control to the generals and commanders on the ground to micromanage the campaign.
and so what if a few hundred civilians have been killed they are living...
Germany can't even maintain the current fleet of Typhoons/Tornados. if they wanna built a new aircraft it should be a long range strike bomber like the FB-111A. build something with equal or greater range and use two F-135 engines.
the biggest problem I have with the design is durability. i can already picture a terrorist ramming into it with a truck or them firing a RPG-7 or SPG-9.
For the U.S. I would have to say the Littoral Combat Ship. This program has been one yuuuuuuuuge clusterf****
underwhelming performance especially regarding surface warfare, and they cost nearly $500 million each.
compare LCS to a frigate, and you'll see why the LCS is total garbage...
