Submarines aren't exactly disposable plastic bags or straws; I don't expect they'll be mothballed that quickly, and there are doubtless secondary uses for them in research and undersea exploration. (Including industrial "exploration" for mineral and gas deposits.) The kind of fast material production you call a nightmare gives rise to all sorts of positive possibilities.
Besides, there aren't that many unused tanks and planes in the West right now.
We're in the midst -- and perhaps even just the beginning -- of a military purchasing frenzy, especially in Europe.
Sealab 2021 for real when? It's the perfect training for space colonization, and we gotta get off this rock for our survival eventually. (Especially by the time bioweapons start getting loose accidentally.)
Hello? These are missile drones, made by a comically grotesque "Tony Stark" goofball who yells at people about Dungeons and Dragons while his shit is used for global supremacy. Is everyone completely stupid?
I don't understand why OP made that comment (it doesn't seem like a big deal) but the US military has a bunch of boneyards for every branch. They are more like "neatly parked until salvage wants them" rather than dumped.
Yeah, that’s my point. It’s not like they’re dumped onto the side of the yard, when they get decommissioned they end up going into these or parts can come out of them.
People make these comments then have no problem swapping their car out every 4-5 years and it’s like what do you think happens with those eventually?
