Some of the shite being developed at Northrop is down right scary to think all this shite is going to be flying around.

We need the Golden Dome to protect us from the Death Star.

It's a missile DEFENSE system, not an offensive weapon. Why be opposed to it?

Bc it’s also going to allow us to control space. Which is the next generation equivalent to what our Navy does globally with projection of power and control of global commerce etc.

“ Anduril and Palantir are gonna be the thorn in China's side”
Possibly
You know something in common with these two companies… Peter thiel.. guy who bought the vice presidency..
You know who thiel first buddy is and loooong time business partner.. Lee .. yeah one of the richest families in the world and company that owned(s) the Panama Canal ports ( and many others).. same guy China expressed displeasure on them selling them .. and listened
Idk … if I wanted to run with conspiracies I could imagine a James Bond movie going on behind the scenes..

Will the Golden Dome protect against EMP?

We should have had this for decades by now.
The argument enemies and pussies make is that it fricks with MAD and makes you able to do a first strike and survive their countershot. So supposedly that will make us more likely to nuke somebody.
It's a stupid fricking argument made by stupid fricking people.

Anduril and Palantir
Serious question.... Why do all these technoctaric weapons contractors use Tolkien terms for their names?
Posted on 5/21/25 at 7:40 pm to Jack Ruby
“Peter Thiel named his company Palantir after the Tolkien artifact, the palantíri (plural of palantír), which are "seeing stones" in The Lord of the Rings. He chose the name because he saw Palantir as a company that would use technology to "see" and understand patterns in data, similar to how the palantíri were used to observe events from afar.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Tolkien's Inspiration:
Thiel is a fan of science fiction and has read The Lord of the Rings multiple times. The palantíri in the books are crystal balls that allow users to see events happening at a distance.
Vision for the Company:
Thiel envisioned Palantir as a company that would analyze large datasets to detect patterns and insights, much like the palantíri's ability to see and understand distant events. “
These guys ( companies) have back history.. thiel investment company put a couple of billion into luckys company anduril..some people argue
Anduril is a shell company for thiel..
Thiel is a looong time advocate that there should be much more private company involvement in national defense.. idk .. fwiw the us is not the only country these public/private companies provide services to…
The rabbit hole gets deep and diverse very fast .
