I don't know where you live but rest assured the USN carrier launched aircraft can travel more than far enough that a Tomahawk cruise missile fired from said aircraft can reach just about anywhere on the land surface of the earth. For those closer to shore surface and submarine naval vessels can launch the same Tomahawk cruise missiles directly.

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')fter taking advice from Louis D Brandeis, a well-respected legal authority at the time, Wilson announced in June 1913, that he would insist upon exclusive government control of the Federal Reserve Board and make Federal Reserve notes an obligation of the United States.
Since we shall later wish to make comparisons with the foundation and structure of the
Bank of England, it may be helpful to summarise the main features of the Federal Reserve System,
including material amendments since 1913.
The 1913 Federal Reserve Act provided for:

 A presidentially appointed seven person Board of Governors, including the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the Comptroller of the Currency (ex officio)
 12 regional Reserve Banks with nine person directorates. Three of the directors were to be
appointed by the central Board of Governors; the remaining six to be elected by the
member commercial banks to represent both lender and borrower interests
 Membership of the system to be compulsory for nationally chartered commercial banks
and voluntary for state-chartered banks
 Nationally chartered commercial banks to hold stock in the regional Reserve Banks, this
stock to pay a fixed dividend of 6 per cent p.a.
 Nationally chartered commercial banks to hold reserves with the Regional Reserve banks,
in the light of their deposits.
 Annual profits from Federal Reserve operations (about $80bn in 2012) to be paid to the US
Treasury.

A private banking cartel with the illusion of Federal control. Who advises the President on appointments? Why the banks of course :lol:

See, I was trying to not be so magnanimous to the US Navy, and I had forgotten about air launched Tomahawks. I mean, the US Navy just has so much STUFF compared to those supplicant countries of the Crown.

Do try and keep up. The quote you mistook for who you fall on your knees for now isn't what I said, I said "like you who suckled at the teat of a Queen for nearly your entire life"....that would be YOU, and most of your life.

I've never owned a Hayabusa before. I find them to be too obvious of a compensator for...you know....someone's lack elsewhere. Like you pretending some road is a tight track, on a motorcycle that doesn't do tight tracks for squat, and by someone who has never been on one. Generally half the displacement is needed to dispatch some incompetent on their literbike+ on a tight track. With someone so completely unfamiliar with motorcycles on racetracks like you I'd say it could probably be done on a 100cc scooter. Are you going to get a nice pink swastika painted on the side of it to make sure you aren't associated with those straight neonazi gangs in your neighborhood?

Bad hair seems to be a trend among political liars this decade.

2021 Boris Johnson brushes off UK woes, vows to transform economy
2021 Boris Johnson has forged a new economic settlement
2022 Boris Johnson leaves world’s fifth biggest economy in crisis
Boris Johnson was ultimately forced to resign as UK prime minister Thursday as dozens of members of his party quit the government after one ethics scandal too many.

Where is he now? Oh somewhere lovely be assured, sitting on the boards of large corporations, dining on food we could only imagine eating.

Argentine President Javier Milei

Image
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')In a bold move to transform Argentina into a global energy powerhouse, President Javier Milei introduced the "Argentine Nuclear Plan" on Friday, with the goal of harnessing nuclear energy as a core component of the nation's future. The plan outlines the construction of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), compact nuclear units designed to provide power to commercial sectors and other large-scale operations.

"After years of stagnation, nuclear energy is making a powerful comeback, and we are determined to lead, not follow," Milei declared confidently, emphasizing the country's abundant natural resources, skilled workforce, and Patagonia's cold climate, which he described as ideal for housing energy-intensive technologies like AI. "Nuclear energy is the only source that is sufficiently efficient, abundant and rapidly scalable to cope with the development of our civilization," he added.

AI. Techbaby A.I. Future, A.I.
He added that the plan "will give us energy sovereignty, will allow us to export this technology to the world," and assured that "blackouts will be just a bad memory," according to La Nación.


Blackouts? In Argentina?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')September 22, 2024 (Bloomberg) -- Argentina plans to resort to scheduled power cuts to cope with electricity demand this Southern Hemisphere summer amid forecasts for high temperatures that would force customers to crank up air conditioning.
:oops:

So I am supposed to believe that this second world nation is about to be transformed from it's state of collapse into a world leader in nuclear energy systems? No, I don't believe that for a minute, thought idiots like adam and kub would pounce on it as evidence that the great transition is still underway, that soon we'll all be holidaying on Mars. Neither do I believe all trumps promises of greatness, not Boris's back in the day. In fact if you back far enough, to Margret Thatcher's day you hear the same bellicose promises from her. Her method was to privatize everything, but it wasn't "Her" method, she was just a puppet like all the other leaders of democratic nations. She got her marching orders just as the Prime ministers of Australia and Canada did, just as Ronald Reagan did. Sell all the publicly held businesses on the cheap into the hands of the corporate Octopus. Which when you boil it down is nothing more than the old feudal system we had before fossil fuels came along to free mankind from the shackles of servitude.

If you look at the great achievements of modern man you'll see they all fall into a small decade or two period leading up to the Peak of Energy use per capita globally. It was around 1970, that was when all those "shithole nations" had good road and bridge networks, decent new electricity grids. When men walked on the moon, when a single parent could still afford to provide for a household, when we had the beginnings of supersonic air travel, when life was easy in other words. Fools look at iphones and teslas, starlink and hi-speed rail and think that we are still on track. But those are just minor achievements that effect a very small segment of various societies. Computers and mobile phones are one exception to this, but they have not allowed mum to stay at home and raise her children, they haven't rebuild the nations' road networks have they.

Nuclear too had it's day and these touted SMR's are just a pathetic rebranding of a very fossil fuel intensive system of generating electricity. They are going small because they can't afford to go big basically. Argentina already has 3 aging nuclear reactors so these systems are nothing new down there. All that is new is the President, who wants to appear as though he's solving the nation's intractable problems.

Argentina mulls tender for power lines after years of neglect

02-OCT-2024
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Argentina is rushing to put together a “market solution” for its national network of high-voltage power lines, a severely neglected part of the grid. Increases in Argentina’s power consumption in recent years have outpaced expansions in transmission by a factor of two, according ... energy and mining in the Economy Ministry.

“There’s a broad consensus on what needs to be done — and it’s a lot,” Daniel González said Wednesday at an event in Buenos Aires. “The big question mark is how we do it.” Milei, a libertarian in his first year in office, won’t let the government fund new infrastructure projects. Instead, he is trying to lay stronger foundations for companies to make the investments.

The Sea Lion oil field was discovered in 2010. Can you explain in your native tongue of simpleton how a war fought in 1982 was over an oil field not discovered until 2010?

The question is easy.

The oil discovery being discussed IN YOUR QUOTE happened in 2010. It was named Sea Lion.

Sea Lion revenues not being available as the field wasn't even known in 1982....WHAT revenues from Falkland Island oil was the war over in 1982? Because it sure can't be the ones talked about in the present in your quote.

Basic logic of this type is taught to 3rd graders in America...maybe they wait to the 9th grade in Australia and you dropped out earlier?

Where The US Gets Its Enriched Uranium
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Uranium production in the United States peaked in 1980, while purchases of uranium by U.S. nuclear power plant operators from domestic suppliers peaked in 1981. Since 1992, the majority of uranium purchased by U.S. nuclear power plant operators has been imported. Currently, the U.S. relies on foreign sources for 71.7% of its enriched uranium, despite possessing domestic resources. Russia supplies 27.2% of enrichment services, making it the largest single foreign provider for U.S. civilian nuclear power reactors.

Russia Temporarily Limits Exports

In November 2024, Russia temporarily restricted enriched uranium exports to the U.S., raising concerns about potential supply risks for utilities operating American reactors. These restrictions were in response to Washington’s recent ban on imports of Russian uranium, which was signed into law earlier this year. In addition to the U.S., Russia is a major exporter of enriched uranium to countries including China, South Korea, and France.
