Is the brass knuckle handle of this knife just a chuuni thing, or could it prove useful in a real fight? I know that brass knuckles can kill, I just don't see the point of trying to punch someone when you are holding a knife.

>>20556
High doubt of it ever being useful if you're getting the knife in the position to punch someone with it. You're in position to stab someone and if someone is in basically hugging reach and is basically aware of you they'll likely try to twist your wrist and or force the knife out of your hand which case your other hand should be the one that's really punching.

>>20556
>>20557
Holy shit, guys. It's like a sharpened muzzle break. It's anything and everything that can cause damage when you HAVE TO cause damage. 

The knuckle hoops aren't just for punching, but to keep the weapon in hand. As last ng as you have a weapon in hand, your enemy has to adjust what he's doing to respond to that, limiting his options. If you're [moe]hugging,[/moe] you might not have the angle to effectively cut or stab with the blade, but if you can get it closer to him, the spikes can still grind against him, drawing blood, possibly severing a small artery or tendon. OR catching on webbing ot uniform and now you can control his body placement. 

And all that assumes he didn't do the smart/foolish thing if grabbing the knife wrist, allowing you to twist around and nick him in his wrist, which makes his fight a ticking clock against passing out.

AND AND all of your buddies with bayonets affixed behind you very probably seeing you locked up with him and looking to run him through long before either of you would even need a second wind.

>I can say just будет идёт дождь
I'll assume you meant пойдёт дождь.
When one makes statements about the future (in most languages, I think) some level of uncertainty is implied. Then consider the tone and emphasis, not just the grammar/linguistics.
пойдёт дождь. - focus is mainly on the noun (дождь) with the verb (пойдёт) helping to direct things into the future tense.
пойдёт дождь. - is an assertion.
дождь пойдёт! - a strong assertion.
пойдёт дождь or пойдёт снег - when either snow or rain are plausible.

My 'tism kicked in: you know how Kriss Vector's claim to fame is that the bolt travels down in order to reduce felt recoil? Well, you could take a rifle with an inline stock (such as the AR-15), bend the barrel downward a bit, and if you also change the placement of the sights, then the shooter will have to  hold at an angle (compared to the ground) in order to shoot forward. Imagine trying to shoot with the gun on the second pic forward with the Krummlauf attached, you'd have to hold it in a rather funky way. Of course, the barrel shouldn't be so extremely bent, but you get the idea. And yes, it's a retarded idea, but such a barrel could be a fun novelty product.

>>20444
>the gun on the second pic forward with the Krummlauf attached
I mean the third pic, for the second pic the device would have to be rotated 90 degrees. Also, it might work better if instead of an external device the barrel itself would be bent, but really only very slightly, like 5-10 degrees.

I pointed out before that USrael would do everything in their power to prevent that. It likely is hurting right now but they are desperately attempting to gain control over the home front, using surveillance, for a draft to invade Iran.

Anyone else think that the Trump administration calling the new round of sanctions "Economic D Day" is really lame? By expressly invoking D Day they have unwittingly stated that the US is no longer able (for what ever reason) to pull off the massive sort of ground invasion that they did nearly 80 years ago and so are opting for a sort of metaphorical D Day instead. 

It's also really quite risky. They're forcing everyone to declare their hand. I guess they're just hoping that it will force all the other countries to side with the US and the US dollar instead of against it. But if they're wrong and it starts a sort of "run on the bank" so to speak it'll be an economic bloodbath.

Is this the grand idea for restoring traditional values in America?

>>20289
As if. A draft at this point in time, regardless of who calls it and how many federal agents are sent to enforce it, would result in an immediate shattering of the union and a (major) net reduction in federal military power. Nothing short of an organized, uniformed land invasion of the continental US would generate sufficient public support for a draft that wouldn't cause a civil war at this point.
Bad news for the rest of NATO, sure, since that means all the US could do in an article 5 scenario is drop a bunch of bombs and threaten nuclear war, but that's the truth of the political situation in the not-so-United States right now.

>>20456
I don't know what they expected really. You would think you wouldn't want to disenfranchise the people you want to go send to die in a massive boondoggle war to the point where if you hand them a gun they are going to turn around and shoot you but hey I'm not a politician what do I know.

>no more was heard about "unrestricted submarine warfare."  It's almost like what is and isn't muh "war crimes" depends on whether you win.
I'm going to be lazy and just copy kikepedia, but the long story short is that Nimitz saved Dönitz by plainly admitting that the US was doing the same:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_D%C3%B6nitz#Nuremberg_war_crimes_trials
>His sentence on unrestricted submarine warfare was not assessed because of similar actions by the Allies. In particular, the British Admiralty, on 8 May 1940, had ordered all vessels in the Skagerrak sunk on sight, and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, wartime commander-in-chief of the United States Pacific Fleet, stated the US Navy had waged unrestricted submarine warfare against Japan in the Pacific from the day the US officially entered the war. Thus, Dönitz was not charged with waging unrestricted submarine warfare against unarmed neutral shipping by ordering all ships in designated areas in international waters to be sunk without warning.
Most German generals could have just walked away from those trials if there were more people like Nimitz amongst the allies. Not to mention that if Nürnberg was really about meting out justice, the

Like every other aspect of US military and foreign policy between 1933 and around 1946, it was done to please Stalin, who loved him some show trials.  Never forget that this was just after half a million working-class White American men were enslaved by their own government and sent to their deaths to prop up Josef Stalin and install Mao T'se-Tung and Ho Chi Minh.

I don't know whether US entry into the war could have been prevented, realistically.  Japanese territorial ambitions in the Far East specifically and explicitly included the Philippines, then US territory.  Some will claim that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was the direct and predictable result of eight consecutive years of calculated provocations, denunciations, and ultimatums from the Rosenfelt Administration.   There is truth in this.  FDR was desperate for a war and worked very hard to bring about conditions for US participation in the war that the whole world saw coming years before the fact, preferably on the side of ((( the Tribe ))).  But even if the US had not gotten a Red regime eager for a nice long expensive bloody war to get rid of working-class males who were surplus to requirements and give peasantry foreign enemies to talk about as a distraction from their own government's corruption and ineptitude, the Japanese plans for a Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere were real and went back to the 1

Are the UK carriers HMS PRINCE OF WALES and HMS QE any good?

>>19376
As with most hardware, the answer to that depends on how good a fit it is for what you're trying to accomplish. They're overbuilt for the STOVL carriers they ended up being, but they're also too small for sustained overseas operations like the Nimitz or Ford classes are for.
On the other hand, if you maintain a relatively small military and you only get one (well, two, but they're supposed to rotate in service with each other) they're probably the best compromise you can get. They're small enough for littoral work but big enough for bluewater, they can launch long range strike aircraft or ASW sorties, and carry 250 marines across the Atlantic with only a bit of DD/DDG support. If you're not going to run dedicated AAS hulls like the US marines or China, you're better off with the all-in-one solution even if it's not as capable as giant CATOBAR carrier and a group of support ships.

North Korea Could Overwhelm US Missile Defense With Nuclear Strike
>North Korea is rapidly expanding its nuclear capabilities and may be nearing a point where it can challenge the effectiveness of US missile defense systems.
>According to Bloomberg on April 29, current estimates suggest Pyongyang possesses around 50 nuclear warheads and has the capacity to produce fissile material for up to 20 additional warheads annually.
>The report highlights concerns around the US Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, which is designed to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles. The system currently includes 44 interceptors deployed in Alaska and California, with plans to expand by an additional 20.
>However, intercepting a single incoming missile typically requires launching at least two interceptors, limiting the system’s capacity during a large-scale attack.
>Under these conditions, Bloomberg reports that a simultaneous launch of approximately 20 intercontinental ballistic missiles could potentially exhaust available US interceptors.
>North Korea’s Hwasong-series missiles are identified as a key component of this threat, particularly when combined with the country’s growing stockpile of warheads.

The standard kike issue part of all this is the burgerstanis are using the tankers & crew as fodder to test whether the minefields are still clear. Literally.
