Reply to Israel refills the Sea of Galilee, supplying Jordan on the way by fuckmacedonia

Takes a lot of energy to desalinate. If you can indeed supply the energy from renewable sources, this is a good thing. But at present, Israel, who discovered large amounts of gas in the last decade, is likely relying on fossil fuels to enable it. Again, fine if you can capture the CO2, but there is not a proven-to-scale method to do this, just yet.

Reply to comment by damo_w15 in Australia and France announce joint plan to supply Ukraine with artillery shells by TheGuvnor247

Sure, but one of the reasons the French subs were taking so long, and costing so much, was because australia was asking France to modify their nuclear design to conventional power.

And then when we decided we wanted nuclear subs, instead of just buying existing french designs, we fucked them over and bought US subs.

Like, what the fuck? God scomo and his government were a fucking joke.

Reply to Ukraine Says Its Air Defenses Can't Protect Against Iranian Ballistic Missiles by BeautyInTheNegitive

This is essentially the core role for Patriot in this conflict, it's a pretty good anti-ballistic missile system. It is limited, though, by quite short range against ballistic missile threats because of their speed and trajectory. Just speculating, but this specific type of threat (and endogenous Russian ballistic missiles) is probably the intended target for Patriot.
