What has this military drill to do with Bitcoin?

Why should everything blow up because of the military drill?

Seriously, please give us insight!

USA  (+ "partners") have attacked Syria
Israel  has shot down a Syrian jet fighter, there could be a conflict between USA, Israel and Russia over Syria apparently Russia has superior air power
Does Putin do nothing?

This could seize up the international banking network, Bitcoin could relieve some of that banking network stress if there is any

Your logic is quite strange if discoverable at all.

Basically it can be summed up like this: conflict between US and Russia -> war -> banking network overheating -> Bitcoin

That's basically basing speculation on previous speculation, where even the outcome of the latter is totally uncertain but is nonetheless taken as a premise already proven to be true for the next speculation. Even the connection between banking network down = more use of Bitcoin is highly questionable.

So I don't think that further discussion is of any merit.

The most likely result of Russia going to war with any other Super Power is the end of the world (or something close to it). I would not consider this to be good in any regard.

I would think that if certain countries start using bitcoin to avoid sanctions, it would negatively impact bitcoins.

[zimmah]

i'm not sure what effect a second cold war or a 3rd world war will have.

on anything at all, i mean.

i'm not even sure if we will have the luxury of worrying about bitcoin by that point.

Imma say this, Russia is not AIR OR SEA superior to the US, They only have 5 su-50's in operation- (They only thing they have that can hang with the f22 raptor)

Second, The f22 exceeds what the human body can handle, The system in the f35 digital 360 hud display will be used in alot of the fighter if we go full out war time. Can u imagine what one poiltLess f22 is capable of??


WE HAVE THE BEST MILITARY HANDS DOWN, WE VERBALLY LOWER OUR CAPABILITIES TO SAY WE ARE NOT WAR HAWKS,



JUST THINK ABOUT A FEW UPGRADED STEALTH SUPER HORNETS , F22'S AND F35'S(OUR VERSIONS IS DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSES)

RAIL GUNS, ENERGY WEAPONS, SECRET UAV FIGHTERS, I COULD KEEP GOING... LOL LASERS VS YOUR MISSLE , RAIL GUNS VS YOU MISSLE, KINETIC BOBMARDMENT VS UR MISSLES, (NUKE OR NO NUKE THEY CANT SEE US, THEY NO "MAD" IS OUT THE WINDOW

"The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km (62 mi) away from ground zero. A shock wave was observed in the air at Dikson settlement 700 kilometres (430 mi)"

the bomb or missle would not get here, between the air to air lasers, ground to air lasers, kinectic bombardment it wont make it

The idea is that the weapon would inflict damage because it moves at orbital velocities, at least 9 kilometers per second. Smaller weapons can deliver measured amounts of energy as small as a 225 kg conventional bomb.[citation needed] Some systems are quoted as having the yield of a small tactical nuclear bomb.[5] These designs are envisioned as a bunker buster.[4][7]

In the case of the system mentioned in the 2003 Air Force report above, a 6.1 m × 0.3 m tungsten cylinder impacting at Mach 10 has a kinetic energy equivalent to approximately 11.5 tons of TNT (or 7.2 tons of dynamite). The mass of such a cylinder is itself greater than 9 tons, so it is clear that the practical applications of such a system are limited to those situations where its other characteristics provide a decisive advantage - a conventional bomb/warhead of similar weight to the tungsten rod, delivered by conventional means, provides similar destructive capability and is a far more practical method. Some other sources suggest a speed of 36,000 ft/s (11,000 m/s),[8] which for the aforementioned rod would amount to a kinetic energy equivalent to 120 tons of TNT or 0.12 kt. With 6-8 satellites on a given orbit, a target could be hit within 12–15 minutes from any given time, less than half the time taken by an ICBM and without the warning. Such a system could also be equipped with sensors to detect incoming anti-ballistic missile-type threats and relatively light protective measures to use against them (e.g. Hit-To-Kill Missiles or megawatt-class chemical laser).





^ this was 2003 , imagine 10+ years of futher development

there are no operational air to air nor ground to air lasers, if those Russian nuclear subs launch their nukes you can kiss a whole city goodbye.
there will be no winners in a total war with Russia.

[CoinsNewb]

Do you really believe they are non operational??? Have you heard of black projects?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_YAL-1

and LAWS IS OPERATIONAL    GO LOOK IT UP

[Robert Paulson]

Do you really believe they are non operational??? Have you heard of black projects?

you're willing to bet your life on it?

[CoinsNewb]

YES, My brother is optics engineer(Air Force), trust when i say there are some system that are operational that will not be disclosed unless we go to a full out war

The US does have a missile defense system however it has not been tested in "real world" scenarios. It is anyone's guess if it will be able to stop a massive nuclear attack on the US by a country that has as many nukes as Russia (100% success rate at destroying thousands of nukes)

I guess they will never be disclosed.

China has quite the military.... and almost no debt... and owns A LOT of the housing in western countries...  In one day they could flatten the entire western ecom via selling all that housing at 1/10th of it's value.. our ecom would implode.

No reason why the Government should not step in during such a scenario.
