Regardless of if he is dead or not, way too many people place too much stock on the death of one person. Organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah are far more resilient than that, leaders will die, they are targeted, and they know that. The movement as a whole continues, its not so fragile as to break apart from something like this.

I don't know which yakubian demon country you're from but the only thing your countries can make are weapons and not even that well anymore. Maybe let the people with decades of vertically integrated industrial and supply chain expertise take the lead on this one.

Its also on the side of a mountain lol, of course its going to be built that way. I spent about a month there last year and my calves were ridiculously jacked, easily 8000 steps a day if you don't take taxis/Didi since traffic on winding mountains is more roundabout than just taking the stairs. American minds cannot comprehend a city where you can literally walk/metro everywhere you need to go faster than driving.

Edit: Food in Chengdu was better though, Chongqing has hotpot cornered but the variety and quality of more traditional Sichuan food was superior in Chengdu.

There was actually a thread on twitter where some chud was claiming that since Chongqing has commieblock apartments that the whole futuristic vibe was a lie and that actually its just a potemkin village. Insane amounts of cope in thread as if having a dense walkable city with almost 0 homelessless was a bad thing because some of those housed people have to live in apartments that kinda look old. Of course go into any of those apartments and you'll find its all renovated and decorated, definitely more beautiful on the inside.

How the fuck are there still undecided voters, you'd think everyone at this point would have already cemented their opinions but it seems like there's just a good third of the USA running purely on vibes.

Zoomers will never know about having to go to the library to get another 30 day AOL trial CD so you never have to actually pay for dial up.

For sure, but usually its more of an economic decision, or in the case of isntreal a decision to cause the most damage to civilians.

That's true, but overrated; for the actual applications of DU and Tungsten, which is penetrating armour, tungsten is not inferior by much.

DU doesn't self sharpen in the way people think it does, it just kind of mushrooms less, though it might help penetration in very poorly normalized impacts. And the fact that it ignites is inconsequential in Soviet style autoloaded tanks anyways, since if you hit the carousel you explode instantly. Might be a bit more useful vs western tanks with the bustle ammo ig?

The primary advantage of DU is if you have a nuclear program you get it for much much cheaper than tungsten.
