I like my Intel Corn Fed, Free Range, and Cage Free.
Well James Bond doesnt even try to be that covert thats pretty apt
The best covert agents always go around telling everyone their name twice and ordering the exact same drink
Technically it does fit the definition of OSINT, but I'm sure you're just being facetious.
Opsec is clean.
we are GREEN as GUACAMOLE on OPSEC, SIR.
If I had Warhammer 40k figurines, this is how I would look showing them off to guests. This is how my guests would respond.
Partly why we don't have any of my gunpla displayed. We'll that and don't want to get display cases so dogs would definitely try to take them
I've thought about putting mine up in an antique China cabinet, like the half circle ones with the glass and mirrors
That would be a great place if you already have one.
I also know myself enough to know I would either not be able to decide on a pose or would keep wanting to adjust it once displayed
Lol I get that. I've always wanted to do full dioramas with landscape and led effects and stuff, but that costs money and time that I don't have
What is that? A stealth fighter for ANTS?!
being smaller helps make it harder to detect
Turns out radar is big.
get in the plane 
"Freemasons run the country!"
Some of the more grounded PLA watchers are dunking on the idea that this means China will give Iran J-20's.
But I don't know... this seems like a pretty deliberate signal. And China does have new 6th-gen fighters coming to preserve a decisive technological edge for themselves. I think people underestimate how geopolitically important Iran is to China. Of course, it would take at least a few years to set up exports and train pilots.
I doubt china will GIVE them planes but sell them, sure
Yeah they're no USSR to our collective misfortune.
If the PRC was the USSR they would have collapsed 6 years ago, personally I'm glad they're making efforts to avoid the mistakes of the soviets and plan a sustainable route to communism
Their lack of militant internationalism is regrettable though, but I also recognise the fine line party leadership has to walk between supporting global socialism and avoiding WWIII, and not that you did but to say they do nothing is wrong i.e providing tons of food and other aid to Cuba, Supplying Venezuela with arms and military advisors(even if that counted for fuck all during Maduro's kidnapping), providing developing countries with an alternative to the usurious IMF etc
One can hope that over the coming years and decades as the US empire collapses they'll be more willing to engage in militancy abroad
Why 6 years ago? You implying the Soviets wouldn’t have survived COVID?
It was a pretty arbitrary number just to illustrate my point: I derived it from the fact that USSR lasted 69 years from founding to dissolution, and from the founding of the PRC to today is 75 years, 6 years difference as things stand
I thought 69 years was just for the bit tho, and PRC is going for 420.
close to zero chance of Iran getting J-20. J-20 is China's F-22, it has been banned for export. China's J-35 is equivalent to the F-35, which will be exported, but it has just entered full production and will need to fill both China's Airforce and Navy first. Pakistan will most likely get the first export. 5th gen fighters are a totally different beast than 4th gen fighters, not just in performance but the maintenance to get it in flying order is very expensive and complicated, Iran is not gonna be able to handle a 5th gen when they've been flying Cold War era American jets.
Seems like Iran is sticking to Russian aircraft, Su-35s have been rumoured for a long long time. There was a photo of a new mig-29 flying in Iran a few months ago, and Iran showed off their new Mi-28 attack helicopters a few days ago.
