@nprofile…kgzp I know perfectly well why the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. That's completely irrelevant to the question of potentially exploiting the resources. Saying it's not feasible to develop them is retarded and asinine. There is a friendly port in Kuwait. There is a highway from that port into Iraq. We have cargo ships and trucks. Building local processing is not a lost art.
Your opinion on how to deal with the locals is baseless. Apartheid works.

@nprofile…kgzp there are many prospects, mining is a big deal in alaska. the problem is the state and federal regulations that make everything expensive as fuck, plus litigation constantly getting in the way
there are proven prospects that have been held up in court for literally decades because every time one problem is cleared up the faggot ass environmentalists or "native americans" file another lawsuit to block it. mining in america generally has become a nightmare
and again, most of the state has never been meaningfully explored. there are not only no government incentives aimed at expanding the human footprint in alaska, but 2/3 of the state is owned by the feds and they actively do not want people there

@nprofile…kgzp at no point were we speaking their language. we tried to treat them with kid gloves and accommodate their bullshit which does not work on middle eastern savages. you have to smash them and bring them to heel if you're not willing to simply slaughter them, and you need to keep your boot on their throat. that doesn't mean being cruel, but the relationship must be very clear

you know what they should've done
buy a bunch of lightweight internal box magazine hunting rifles in 7mm Remington Magnum, put a fixed 10x mil dot scope on there, and issue two per squad. keep the weight to about 7.5 lb per rifle total package. this can be done for under $2000 per gun even if you're buying gucci shit
however this should be unnecessary for a properly equipped infantry unit. where's the M240B? 60mm mortars? were they restricted from using anything but carbines by some gay ROE?

now we're in this uncomfortable state where a settings page maybe has a save button but often doesn't and there's no consistency. the button, if it does exist, is not properly designed so you notice it. like it'll be below the page view and a bland color so it doesn't stand out
if the button doesn't exist there's often no visual indication that your settings *were* saved, or any indication of what you changed, or any way to easily revert. yes there are some pages that do this well but they stand out as exceptions
I have no idea how we got here but my wild ass guess is it's fundamentally because of the preponderance of dogshit web frameworks where the dev is totally disconnected from the page design and just uses whatever the default is
I'm okay with not needing an explicit save button but just taking the button away and silently saving things is not good design either
