I’ve criticized every government myself, my own (Sweden) and EU and USA and also China et al. You’re just pretending to be better, and you know you can’t justify defending China so you have to lie to claim I’m MAGA without knowing anything about me.

You’re pre-programmed to assume people can’t want to rule themselves and that anything that contradict China’s desire to enforce total cultural uniformity is an evil plot by USA. Bootlicking fucking tankie. You’d applaud everything USA ever did if China claimed it was them who did it. You’d celebrate MK Ultra if China revealed they were doing that in their secret prisons for political prisoners.

When USA uses their aid programs for political pressure you’re outraged and then China does it and you cheer.

But you know this and don’t care. You don’t care about the abuse of minorities, violation of other countries’ borders, you don’t care about kidnappings, killings, repression, illegal arrests, sabotage, etc, because it’s done in favor of your tribe.

All it takes is excusing no tribe. But you can’t distance yourself.

Taiwan won’t be able to send a drone flying 300 km over China, they aren’t gonna screw up air defense line Russia. Striking deep will require either smuggling things in or building weapons from inside their borders. If China expected a hot war to start I’d expect them to lead with heavy amplification of internal surveillance and hunting possible threats to remove as many internal threats as possible.

Taiwan doesn’t have a lot of experience with using them, but OTOH they are collaborating with Ukraine. Supplying them with components and getting intel back on what works.

They prefer to use their size to threaten over initiating wars. Which remains imperialistic.

The rest is on point but I don’t understand your exceptions for China

Freeware used to be a whole thing. A demo version you could play freely, and if you wanted the full version you’d pay for it

There’s more, but not many exclusives

Republicans are pretending personal responsibility means just accepting their bullshit and not asking for anything to get better

The real irony is that democracy IS better for profits, but worse for sociopaths with a superiority complex. In other words, they could get therapy and have lives better in every single way and choose not to

Just look at the numbers

Mostly because it’s expensive and some satellites are in way higher orbit than you want to fire randomly at, and hitting just a few satellites is more of a very very expensive annoyance unless you’re doing it to time it with other strikes (and yes there’s also escalation risk, but countries without their own satellites won’t care much)

Look at the paper I added. It does lose up to a huge distance because of the uplinks and satellite movement. It takes something ridiculous to get use of space lasers, because otherwise I was completely right, you ADD enough distance to the path for lasers to lose.

And if fiber gets improved further by fibers which slow light less (up from 67% of c) then the threshold distance grows proportionally

And then promptly loses out to the longer distance between nodes, slower network gear on the satellites themselves, the massive latency loss to requiring more complex higher redundancy signal coding due to the energy loss in the laser across the distance (since it spreads out, vs a fiber maintaining most energy). Even if you used dense LEO satellites like Starlink it remains unreliable and the motion of satellites means you can’t have a stable path length.

Tldr it’s useless for almost everything. You need to be able to not just use efficient live path selection when sending traffic, you have to be able afford to pay for QoS priority on wildly expensive satellites due to all the specifical equipment and hardware capacity limits. If you’re not doing high speed trading arbitrage you can’t make that money back.

Just look at what the experts say in the paper below. Below 3000 km it’s always slower. Starlink doesn’t have the capacity to beat the 3000 km threshold now. USA is something like 4500 km across. The investment alone to beat fiber from coast to coast (the ideal scenario) makes it not worth trying.

They were already behaving as if they were having random bitflips, how much worse could they get?

Lasers are no longer low latency when distances are huge

Power may be accessible with solar panels, but power density is shit in space because solar panels force a flat design with limited depth, plus cooling issues, and you eventually need a construction so large that it’s incredibly fragile.

Shooting down satellites isn’t scifi anymore. Any medium sized country can do it if they want to.
