- Comment on If a revolution started tomorrow in the US to get rid of Trump, could the majority of society use hit and run tactics successfully? Or what would be the tactics the rebels would use? 4 days ago:
Saying “the US has unhardened infrastructure” is as obvious as saying “don’t attack Iran, they can choke off 30% of the global economy”.
Only the most obtuse and maladroit of players of the game would allow themselves to expose such glaring vulnerability.

The US is basically one big unhardened underbelly.
The US puts most of its effort into creating the appearance of strength rather than strength itself, and its been baked into the military doctrine since the 1950/60s with Korea. Copaganda (shows like 24 or Cops), the Military-Industrial-Film complex (Top gun, too many movies to list), comic book movies (good guys have to always do the more “moral” thing), the shock and awe doctrine; you can genuinely attach the US’s security posture almost directly to one guy: Robert McNamara. This idea of creating the appearance of the thing being as effective as the thing is fundamental to US hegemony, and its currently falling apart. The man behind the curtain was never meant to be revealed because the theatrics were supposed to be so impressive you would never even consider trying to reveal them.
Take a look at Russias invasion of Ukraine, and consider the implications of what it means to have un-hardened infrastructure. Now the US continues to believe itself to be invulnerable in this regard, but consider, what would be the implications of an oil pipeline disruption at this current moment? Trump brags about how the US is relatively secure in regards to oil production, twice as much as the next blah blah blah.
Those pipelines run for hundreds of miles basically defenseless.

To shreds you say?

deploying anything en masse is basically geoengineering, with all of the potential unexpected consequences that that brings.
Yeah I mean. How many internal combustion engines are running right now? In the course of me responding to your reply how many million tons of CO2 were being emitted?
I mean if were going to talk en masse geoengineering, lets talk en masse geoengineering. And lets just take the piss: Say for example there was an unintended consequence to mounting a bunch of solar panels in the desert. At least, if you had this consequences and wanted to undo it, you could un-mount the solar panels and move them some where else. There is no unburning fossil fuels once emitted. Or clear cutting millions of acres of forested lands and putting it into farm land. Or exterminating a key stone species like buffalo or beavers. Or leaving methane leaks uncapped. Like… We’ve been geoengineering the entire time. What are we even talking about?
There are some interesting questions around what something like mounting these solar panels does to the carbon cycle. Phenology would be a big one. Water storage. ET. Very interesting stuff.

Probably most people on lemmy aren’t biogeochemists. But this, especially at this scale, is actually a very interesting finding and I’m going to be sharing it with other biogeochemists. Its also a finding that makes basic, explainable sense: you reduce the windspeed at the earths surface and you reduce evaporation, evapotranspiration, etc. Not to mention shading the surface.
The difference is this offers a form of analysis at scale.

The count I saw is that Iran has something like 450 ships in operation prior to the start of this war.
