#7 They still do make the best American cars don't they?

yep, in places like Ohio, Tennessee, etc.

A little more speed and the ~~IJN~~ JS Kurama could've had shot at most shipping tonnage sunk [during peacetime] for a destroyer at 350MT for the Carina Star.

#10 OOOPSIES, Forgot PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > PAKISTAN TO DEV NEW ICBM WID 7000-KM RANGE [ + beyond?].

PDF POSTER > opined that PAK needs such LRBMS iff it is to becom a SUPERPOWER.

DITTO for CHINIA as per its TRADITIONAL GEOPOL, etc. ISOLATIONISM, includ SOCIOCULTURAL HOMOGENIETY. ALL GREAT EMPIRES IN WORLD HISTORY HAVE BEEN HETEROGENOUS = "COSMOPOLITAN", aka PLURALIST + DIVERSIFIST.

Iff CHIN REFUSES TO GIVE UP ITS ISOLATIONISM > goes far to explain "SINK THE TIRPITZ"[altern >"DAMBUSTERS"] SCENARIOS in future? US-CHIN WAR, i.e. INLAND COMMANDO, MILTSRIKES STRATEGIC OPERS AGZ THREE GORGES + RIVERINE MILBASES INSIDE CHIN'S DEEP INETERIOR???

OLD DREAM/VISIONS > I'mma pretty sure curr = future former SECDEF GATES = USN won't be sending any OWG ALL-FEMME/BABE USN SUBMARINES AGZ THESE TARGETS.

[Cue BENNY HILL HAND-SALUTE = "RESTLESS EYE" here].
