Okay, let's see. On plotted or committed terrorist attacks on US soil only: Russia (Chechnya, especially) Britain Bangladesh Lebanon Guyana Jordan Nigeria Albania Kosovo Morocco Do you know where the vast majority of the people on this list came from? Pakistan. I am also not including countries whose citizens have joined IS or have supported and aided them, or whose citizens committed or plotted terrorist attacks on foreign soil (but not in the US). -
Like you pointed out, it's pretty much just symbolic pandering. In fact, it might be making US security worse by enraging people who *can* get into the US from those other countries, which are the ones that have historically conducted terrorist attacks anyway.
-
1) Without Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan on the list, it cannot be a serious measure against terrorism, and is thus entirely pointless. 2) Do you have any idea at all how much broader the list should be in that case? Why only those countries? Why not Egypt? Where did the terrorists who conducted 9/11 come from? Why are Chechens allowed in?

9.17.1, Revenge of the Wehraboo Tears of the Wehraboo alloy: +25% armour for no increase in weight

That's exactly what it is. Hell, there have probably been more terrorist attacks conducted by Chechens on US soil than by Syrians, Iraqis, or Iranians.

He doesn't trust Saudis, but he sure didn't include them in his Muslim ban

I think it would be counterproductive for Trump to risk turning Hillary into some kind of Aung San Suu Kyi figure

But from what I've been reading, they don't seem to have done anything that needs a pardon?
-
What is there to pardon them for?

This seems very worrying, I hope it's not true https://www.inverse.com/article/26651-trump-gut-department-of-energy-rick-perry-physics-research?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=inverse&utm_campaign=organic

The interesting ship photos/art thread.

Well, the Battle was also long gone by the time the BPF was a thing. Right manufacturer, though! I've taken a liking to the Barracuda, but I've probably just been playing Atlantic Fleet too much -

Aborted landing on HMS Venerable -
I like Sean Carroll, too bad he got kicked out of U Chicago for not publishing enough. When I mentioned him to my supervisor at the University of Toronto, the first thing he said was "Oh, isn't he the guy who failed to make tenure at Caltech?" :S

You have a tank that's bigger and heavier than the IS-3 in the Centurion, it better have some upgrade potential or it would be a most inefficient design

Well, after 4 years, Gaijin is finally ready to stop hiding behind the excuse of "It's still in beta!"

The next Sandbox iteration is supposed to come before the end of February Once you get the Nakajima A6M2-N, you get the dual 20 mm cannons in the wings, and will absolutely wreck anyone foolish enough to sit in front of your guns or turnfight with you. The Ki-61s are also pretty decent once they get 12.7 mms, and there is the deadly first Ki-45 (the 37 mm ones have shit ammo counts, but the first one has a 20 mm cannon)
-
Well, in Arcade at least, BR is a function of two things: 1) Does it turn well? 2) Does it have cannons? That's why the Zero is absolutely shafted in terms of BR

Maybe, but it is ultimately in his interests to keep Erdogan in power as well
-
I don't see why Putin will want to support a coup against Erdogan, the military in general is much more pro-NATO than Erdogan AFAIK
-
I think you are overestimating Putin's influence in Turkey, honestly

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines

Should draw a monocle on his face -
I mean, it's got pretty damn good gun handling, and the gun is not bad. The armor works sometimes. Kinda. If you angle it. And if people don't outskill you by placing their shots on that 185 mm turret face with their ~0.4 m accuracy guns. The mobility is bleh, but workable. Personally, I think if they just gave it a higher rate of fire with DPM comparable with the Tiger I, they could call it a day there.

It's not a bad tank on its own, just nothing really special. It plays adequately but never feels "good" the way something like the IS-3 or AMX 50 100 or T32 has its moments
