Reply to comment by bpooqd in China accuses U.S. of ‘disinformation’ over warnings it’s considering sending artillery and ammo to Russia by diana321

Honestly I think a big part of the difference between Cold War propaganda and modern propaganda on the subject is simply time. A large chunk of the people who were so into the idea of conflict with Russia also remembered the day that the Newspaper showed them images of a single bomb wiping a major city off the face of the Earth. People now a days don't have that type of reference. I have a feeling if a city like Kyiv (God forbid) got obliterated by a nuke people would not be so dismissive of the idea of nukes being something to scared of

Edit: I'm just using the city of Kyiv as an example because the idea of it being nuked has regularly been in the news and dismissed as an impossibility by regular people

Reply to comment by TheDJZ in Anti-war partisans in Belarus claim to have damaged Russian plane | Belarus by Caratteraccio

CIWS wasn't able to do much with them until block 1B in 2016 added FLIR to help target small surface craft. Even then, it's a challenge, they're harder to see/detect, they're harder to hit, they can be armoured, and you'd probably swarm them.

However, I'd imagine swarms of small missile boats are probably a bigger problem. It's a very cheap way to get a lot of anti-ship missiles in the air to saturate defenses.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)

> The report, published by the CSIRO and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, describes antimicrobial resistance as a "Looming global health crisis" with the ability to render some of the most critical drugs to modern medicine ineffective.

> The report focused on emerging technologies that could prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

> A previous report, published by the CSIRO and the Australian Antimicrobial Resistance Network in November, estimated that superbugs currently result in 1,000 deaths in Australia each year.
