Does it really matter if the delivery system is inferior? Google says they have five thousand warheads. Even if 4900 get intercepted (98% success rate), 100 nukes will connect.

Also, besides the launch silos, there's the bombers and the nuclear subs, which are enough to end the world by themselves

So you're a communist that denounces every communist project atop an ivory tower, instead of understanding the realities of actually building a socialist society (no magical button that will make us overcome hierarchies overnight, I'm afraid). Sounds like you're just larping about being a communist

Are you implying that you don't remember that experience, or that salvia caused you memory issues?

Going by the same logic Iran is also a winner because they got a live test for their drones and missiles

Impressive mental gymnastics. So the "starving" Cubans live more than Americans because Americans have "too much" bread?

spaces in rm are a classic one, they're even mentioned in the Unix-haters handbook

Not excusing Vanguard, but if you're running Windows then your entire kernel is a blob. If you're running most linux distros, then your kernel contains blobs for drivers.

I have a feeling it has less to do with a foundational nature of evil, and everything to do with a population being impoverished, oppressed, and forgotten.

Instead of trusting your feelings and alluding that the Houthis launch missiles "because they're forgotten", you could list the actual reason they've given, which is enforcing a blockade against ships trading with Israel.

Given that statement, I'm sure that the Houthis will stop their strikes when Israel stops their ongoing genocide. The US could have their shipping lanes back if they stop funding and arming a genocide and force a permanent ceasefire.

Why not engage with the comment's contents, instead of completely disregarding it?

NK is one of the most sanctioned countries right now. The fact that they manufacture advanced tech like this is impressive.

There really isn't a complicated discussion to be had unless you needlessly complicate things. There's a big difference between having, say, better monitor or headphones in terms of resolution or sound quality vs having a monitor or headphones that add extra features.

It's like saying that AR glasses that visualize a ball's trajectory should be allowed in tennis or football because players can already invest in better rackets or shoes.

The detection problem is not unsolvable. First, you can forbid people that are using that monitor from matchmaking. You can find your monitor's model number using software so that would be trivial. For a more nuanced approach, you can examine players' reaction times and ban people that got too good too fast.
