Could someone please remind me of the US military's expected missions and combat environments in 2030, 2040, 2050? What are the weapons systems...

Thank you!
I'm not looking for anything in particular. I'm hoping to encounter novel ideas that will enrich my own thinking on the topic. I agree that a...
You have now invented ideas/words several times successively, and ascribed them to me. The first time, I corrected your error. There will be no...
In my OP, I specifically asked that people not evoke the law, which is a different topic that can be reasonably engage only after we have a common...
No. I said nothing of the kind. If you're want to invent my side of the conversation as well as your own, that's your privilege. But "talking to...
I have not given any definition of anything. I made a comment on "birth". I don't think so. I'm trying to avoid getting lost in the thicket of...
But... it cannot survive on its own. Without care, it dies in only a few hours. "Birth" is obviously a hugely important step on the path to...
Why is your "viable" significant, on the road to personhood? I would understand "able to find food and water, and to feed itself" as a...
So... that would be something like five or six years old? A new-born is clearly not viable: it will die within a few hours if it is not cared for.
True... but the law should be based on something. There have been societies who did not consider the new-born to be a person, even after birth....
Why that moment, rather than any other?
I just now strolled through several pages of conversations about abortion.It seems to me that many are putting the cart before the horse,...
You asserted, "There is only one CORRECT interpretation", concerning Christianity. That is so ridiculous, after two thousand years of heresies and...
Oh! I am so-o-o-o impressed! Did God speak to you, to tell you to use the "from authority" argument? I kinda doubt it, since it's a very ordinary...
I find it amusing when non-Christians presume to define "Christian". Self-styled "Christians" cannot agree on their religion... have not been...
Yours, of course. These things have been debated by brilliant minds for two thousand years, without resolution... but they''re easy for you.:no:
I have a problem with the term "gnostic Christian". I know what a gnostic is... but I'm not at all sure what a "Christian" is... :eyepopping:
From Wikipedia: "The First Council of Nicaea was a council of Christian bishops convened in the Bithynian city of Nicaea by the Roman Emperor...
Not at all. Christ's message was "Love God and one another." If one adheres to that idea, then its source cannot matter. If a person adheres to...
Your questions are the ones that have vexed "Christianity" since the beginning. I tend to use Occam's Razor like an axe. Let's dump all the...
The various Creeds have all been, above all, a Gatekeeping tool: a means to exclude anyone who would not swear the creed. Since Christ was very...
It seems to me that the salient characteristic of "Christianity" is that there are so many different interpretations of it. I recognize the...
Why do you presume that Finland would be alone? The EU is 450 million people. Germany, France, the UK and Italy each have larger GDPs than Russia.
