The T-90 is not widely considered the best MBT in the world by anyone who knows anything. It is, essentially, an evolution of the T-72 and both 72/90 share gross limits on the length of their sabot penetrators (can’t remember, <700 maximum) due to the dimensions and limits of it’s horizontally-arranged ammo/propellant…

Not with a whole-new tank, no.

Obvious middle ground idea: subordinate FA under a different blog than Jalopnik; say, Gizmodo.

I don’t agree with cutting the Coast Guard, either, and I’ll reserve criticism until it’s final. But don’t bury the lead: this isn’t done yet. Seems like we’ve been here before, have we been here before? We’ve been here before:

Lol, the lack of critical thinking by contemporary Americans crosses the political divide; it is not an uniquely Conservative failing.

You’re not wrong but you’re not right either.

There are too many Marines, living and dead, for this to happen, though it’s a plainly-logical deduction I’ve seen articulated before.

I guarantee you no Gripen would be spared Americanization to the benefit of domestic industry. That would neatly wipe out cost-savings vis-a-vis off-the-shelf F-16's.

On an article YOU chose to click on because something inside you broke.

LOL you people are triggered.
The point is
1) other people will get mad; I don’t really care
2) the material is flagrantly divisive, even here, in this left-wing audience
3) it is going to show up on a car blog, which, on the principle of the fact, to me is: 
4) funny

Don’t get your panties in a twist, friend. :)

I just find it hilarious this political hand-grenade is gonna be emblazoned all over a car blog.

Perhaps. :)
Some EMP fallout’s better than the genuine article.

Sexless & joyless, too.
It’s so sad how accurate Demolition Man is as a prediction of the social-justice infused world.

A hp/ton or per-pound metric would be more useful.
200hp in a pickup or luxobarge is going to be hideously slow, but can start to be quite the little dart in a <3000lb coupe.

If you want a cutoff, hilariously, insurance companies got it right all along, and science has only caught up in the last few decades.

A fully-mature brain is about 25. (individuals can vary) And it’s your risk-taking, planning, executive functions of the brain which…

I think a temperament / personality assessment is of more use, in this vein.
Impulsive? Poor or limited ability to empathize? (which is amplified by being in a car) Risk-taking behavior?

The psychological profile of people known to fly a car or truck off a public highway at triple-digit speeds is often the SAME person.…

Safeguard/Sprint used what’s colloquially known as “neutron bombs.”

In reality, the neutron bomb of armchair-lore — killing people through direct radiation and very little destructive explosive force — is a crock of shit.
The enhanced radiation warheads had a higher ratio of neutron radiation which was meant to fry…

That’s why this article is infuriating.

We had a fully-functioning ABM shield already; we threw it away (>$5B 1975 dollars; $22B now) and the conclusion of this poorly-written article would set us on the path to repeat the same, expensive mistake.

What drives me the most up the wall is we’re in the perfect, political environment to rapidly make the ICBM & other ballistic missiles obsolete.
To actually render impotent a weapon of war whose raison d’etre is mass-killing beyond the worst 2 industrial world-wars could mete.

The President wants to revitalize the…
