d by dah way, That government that you are all sassy about, and the “Lock and Load” is all that keep “Team Don Wanna” from working Santa Whozit’s plantation and taking French lessons so you could surrender sooner. That didn’t work in 1860-64 either.
And, since youze’all haven’t noticed, all the fun stuff was done by state governors. If you don’t like it, tough. They are yours.
Hey! ‘Toly. You might point out to your host (very politely) that Austin, Dallas, and Houstron are well on their way to becoming Chicago, Baltimore, and Nu Yok. As I recall, youze all allied with Virginia last time, also.
Oh, and have someone check “Tinman’s” oil and batteries. Never know when there will be a long run without Uncle’s services. Them kinetic energy things that Nancy blows out her nethers can be annoying. Look what they did to Californication (Jes’ like her Daddy did to Ballimore).
Maybe ‘Toly should go back to the Boss’ Bunker. He will just draw fire in Del Norte.

Not a very high yeild bird as far as ASCMs go.
Got into a mental argument with myself about the kinetic energy release of a Sea Sparrow vs the one they were using. Just from mass and speed, the Sparrow packs an extra 814 million+ Joules of energy upon impact. And by definition, explosive energy is when the shock front exceeds the speed of sound. Sparrow plows in at mach 3+.
The C-802 ripoff does maybe 0.9 mach tops with easily twice the warhead but a fraction of the energy release of a Sparrow.

Given the right strategy we can do it too.
Eisenhower’s approach to dealing with the Soviet Union reflected his skill at playing poker, and long after his death we “busted ’em up”.
Everyone knows you can ruin an empire through wars, but I’m hard put to think of an instance of just plain bankruptcy doing the job.
