It is insanity *if* you look at it from the perspective of effective fighting capacity (assuming, and I have no opinion, that A10 is not directly replaceable by gunships, drones, choppers and what have you).

Anyone else reminded of Top Gun?

Ok good luck. I’ve enjoyed your writing for years. I’m not a militarist but anyone who has an interest in world politics should take some time to be familiar with what can happen when the talking stops. And you might as well learn it from a good writer!

Thoughtful and reasonable information to a situation I did not know. (I'm Asian-Canadian...my racist experiences are largely confined to my insatiable desire to eat rice.)

Wow. This really is a Body on Frame car, isn’t it?

Right? Why aren’t the gas companies all over this now? They should think of themselves as energy services. They are already set up to push hydrocarbons, and we already are used to using them.

True, but I can see advantages of getting on a common standard. I remember in the old days of computing and gaming, things having their unique plug for this and that. How much nicer it would have been for us, the consumer, if they could have settled on USB version whatever, from the start.

Streets could be retrofilled for induction charging...or something nerdy like that...I believe. Until we find out that these things give us cancer!

I’m not sure what you’re saying here.

Yes, but you will notice from the video that the right lane had someone merging from the right. The front driver did not have time to safely switch over to the right lane, and was in the left lane to pass the dashcam car.

“...what Tesla represents in the marketplace.” Yes.
