You know that guy was killed before the end of the movie?

His tags indicate he is an Italian living in Germany, so he is not claiming to be German.

"Just adapt the virus for haplo group"... easier said than done. No one has done it. Its like Q telling the crew of the Enterprise to "just change the gravitational constant of the universe". Unless you have some research or a link, I'm going to continue to believe that it is not possible...

France was the 2012 silver medalist, if I recall correctly. They were a surprise, no one expected them to do so well Well played Turkey! Cuba-Belarus the only other close game. Need to see another game or two to sort out who is for real and who had strong/weak opposition.

Mexico! get it in gear, you're pulling down the continent's average! I think Mexico has the biggest standard deviation from it's region. Of course, if you consider it in Latin America, it might be a leader, so there's that. It fits right in with South America, I guess.

Um, no. Reference please. Terminator genes themselves are not commercial at this time. You are trying to put two different technologies, neither of which is proven, together to create a threat to Russia that is just silly. If it were a virus that spread by itself, you could not contain it to...

Wouldn't help if the target can just out-maneuver the missile.

Terminator genes don't work that way. It just means that when you breed a plant with terminator genes, it has no follow-on seeds. You would have to talk Russia into buying nothing but terminator enabled genes, and then refuse to sell the next year, AND Russia would have to be so careless to...

F-14 No production No stealth Interceptor with limited other uses Modest agility F-35 Production just ramping up High degree of stealth Fully multi-role, with numerous build options Very agile The F-14 probably has a higher top speed than...

Or you have a revolution and quit fighting external enemies to kill each other. See WWI and the Cold War.

1) The perpetrator was not "indigenous American" if you mean an American Indian, an person whose ancestors where in the Americas before Columbus arrived. 2) The perpetrator WAS an American, that is, he was born in the USA. From photos, he appears black. 3) The perpetrator was Muslim, whether...

The most important thing is the aircraft that it carries. The Russians used to have a cruiser/carrier concept, which had significant armament, but everyone else seems to be going with purer carriers where the aircraft provide all the offensive punch. Some of the helicopter carrier designs...

65,000 tons is the size of the new UK carriers. US Navy ships: Nimitz class are officially 97,000 tons, but can run up to 100-104,000 tons, the US has 10 of these active. The US also has around 10 "amphibious assault" ships. These run about 40-45,000 tons. They have a detachment of Harriers...

I had internet conversations with Serbs in Serbia during that campaign. The Serbs I talked to thought Milosevic was a bad guy, but the bombing was an overreaction by the West. I think we had access to a wide variety of viewpoints in the West. The Serbs reported that there was limited access...

@senheiser I think I said that it didn't look like sanctions would impact production. The fact that there is any risk to production at all from sanctions indicates that there are a substantial number of critical parts being produced outside Russia, which was the point I was making originally...

One additional note, the 2010 annual report for Superjet includes the following (page 18): High level of participation of the foreign partners, the leading suppliers of aircraft systems and equipment from Europe and the USA in the business of JSC “Sukhoi Civil Aircraft” will contribute to the...

Do you have a source for this? I could only find this (Russian produced avionics set to reduce the cost of the Superjet and MS-21 | Russia & India Report) and it looks like a shill publication. No mention of actual approvals, only plans, and only for the avionics. Unharmed by Sanctions, UAC...

Interesting reading up on the Superjet 100. Competition is percieived to be mainly the Bombardier CJR and Embraer E-Jets. Its smaller than the current 737 models, and in it's most compact seating just matches the A318's least compact seating. So, still a bit smaller. Really looks good for...

This is a Russian-assembled jet, but the parts are from all over. Assembly is generally not the hardest part of the aircraft, that would be the engines, control systems, and avionics, usually. So, I would guess this might be a pretty good deal - you have backing from all over. One has crashed...

They would have fought each other. 55% of the country didn't want seperation. They just had this vote in their own county. Individuals had been declaring independence for a long time, this was a measure of the whole country's opinion. They don't agree with you. They say that already...
