Can't make many modern weapons without microchips and I dont think we make alot of them in this country

We depend on other countries too much, we can make them here, just not being smart about it.

No, not a lot, but some. About 10% of the global supply. That is expected to triple by 2032, though.

Let's hope we can ride it out till then..... probably get a new leader and they will screw that plan up. Heaven forbid we be a little self-sufficient.

I see yahoo on MSN and Google a lot , but got fed up with Yahoo 20 years ago.
I ignore them as much as I can.
Talk about biased , they're at the top of the list.
But I still don't know what you mean about bb.
Message me if you need to.

See if this helps

How much you think they spent on the drone that "allegedly" took down that Apache helicopter? Helicopter was probably worth many "several" 2026 Chevy Silverados. G.

OK now it makes sense.

Hey Grizzley bears have been killed with a 22 long.
It happened, but it's not going to control the war.

Ukraine's drone production plants and drones were mostly designed by engineers from around Dayton, Ohio, from companies who mostly do work for WPAFB. The defense industry is huge in the area and all interconnected. About half my friends were or are in it.

At great risk SMH!

Anything is possible , and it will happen.
There's contact from the inside, no different than in WWII the underground, found ways to get information out.
We just have to get more information,.
I really don't see troops on the ground, until it's just clean up time.
I do see us helping to rebuild after it's over.

There's many people there that will do whatever they can to help get the regime out of there.

There were a lot of promises by Iranians, who want a secular government, that they would take Iran over if we hit the targets they provided. Those targets and many more were hit and nothing of importance has been done by any Iranians, except some of the Kurds. I see that as a betrayal.

I'm going to talk to someone in the know on Saturday. I'm hoping he is more hopeful than I am. He's wanted a free Iran, since I met him in the early eighties.

Trump said the Kurds stole the weapons meant to overthrow the govt.

Prrsident Trump said, "We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday. “And I think the Kurds took the guns.” This was before we invaded. Israel was supposed to have dropped off containers of weapons in the mountains controlled by the Kurds. There's a great many Kurdish factions, not all of whom get along. Most of them denied ever receiving the firearms and none said they did.

It would be a minor expense, compared to just a few days worth of missiles, to flood Iran with crates of firearms and ammunition. If any opposition asked, I suspect they would receive.

What do you call a turkish kurd?

You come on up here banjo boy and I'll make you my girlfriend.

In Turkey, Kurds are called Mountain Turks to distinguish them from the rest. Turkish people are very mixed genetically. They range from fair skinned, with blonde or red hair and blue or green eyes, to very dark skinned, dark haired and nearly black eyed. The Ottoman empire brought in people from all over the old world.
