What about the 3rd world in 25 years?

This one still takes the cake for me:

Then I misread you; sorry.
My slur stands, though not against you. :P

It’s remarkable how EV advocates sound like a Lockheed Martin salespersons on a glossy brochure video of some failing weapons system.

A regular edgelord.

Maybe.
Really, we’re at the logical conclusion of the entire shift in the DoD JFKennedy put us on in the early 60's.

In the 50's, Eisenhower, LeMay & SAC largely set & enforced American military strategy: massive retaliation. Or really, just massive attack. (in the actual era of SAM’s in America our air bases were not…

Neither North Korea or Russia would let us know when they planned on launching a real nuclear weapon at the United States. And the Missile Defense Agency also wouldn’t have the luxury of knowing in advance which delivery system would carry out the launch.

So... if we test THAAD it’s NO GUD BELLICOSE SABRE RATTLING.
If Trump gets a nominal ceasefire even for a short period of time OMG PUTIN’S LAPDOG.

Where is the internal consistency?

I get if people just don’t like Trump, but don’t (talking @ Mr. Starr here) don’t pretend you’re being objective. I know the difference…

Paper ballots are hackable.

That’s some (2004) Battlestar Galactica shit right there.
Can’t hack a potato.

Datalinks aren’t infinite, nor perfectly secure/non-jammable.

You’re no fun. >_>
In the air, I’m sure a coded-program with an electro-optical sight (big word for camera) could be fool-proof in the final approach to a shit.

But AI has a long way to go when it’s still in the teething process of learning how to drive on (more complex) ground territory.

History doesn’t properly record this was the best anti-ship cruise missile until the 80's:

Welp. It was nice knowing you folks.

No clue really, but picking any constant-dollar figure in the 20th century gives a good, relative picture. I know the picture is from the Heritage Foundation, but I reiterate again, you can look up the numbers yourself in the DoD’s annual Green Book. (an exceptionally dry budget document)
They’re not flimflam.

Es bueno, I assumed it was an oversight. ;)

I apologize if I inferred unintended meaning.

I would vehemently disagree with the notion of the 1950's geopolitical context precluded a broader fight: a lack of political will was what kept the war bottled up. The Soviet Union was in no position to wage war on behalf of the PRC & DPRK so soon off the heels of the…
