The post is indeed not a great circle.
Redraw the path nearest to the red line but avoid the areas marked in green and you have your answer. Arizona is at a pretty high elevation and the rockies stretch from new mexico through colorado onwards, so they probably fly around the other way under the Rockies.
Edit: i think his question is still disingenuous
US military spending is nearly double that of all other NATO members combined Estimated defence expenditure of NATO members in 2024, at current prices and exchange rates
I like how they always show that the US spends double the amount of all the other nations combined. What they forget is that nobody asked the US to overspend, they do that to get 100x the influence. The US has around 750 military bases around the world, often remnants from post WW2 agreements of surveillance or security. The next country on the list is Russia, with about a dozen. Watch Trump threaten to Nuke everyone when they lose those sweet economic incentives for the industrial military complex.
This isn't about spending, it's a about Putin.
Your tongue is also super tactile. We spend most of our toddler years discovering this.
You can look at anything around you, anything, and your brain knows exactly what it would be like to lick it, even if you've never done it before. Taste, texture, residue etc.. it's quite freaky
Oh and my thighs are really good at imagining my phone just buzzed.
We expected no less. Funny you don't respect anyone else's sovereignty.
Who would have thunk it. Can some anti-vaxer help me here I don't get it
The art of the gaslight
We are more resourceful than ever so no, I dont think it will accelerate a decline of any given nation. It does highly increase our chances of annihilating ourselves in one go, but that's another conversation.
An example is when the Suez canal got clogged up during COVID. That kind of halt in the global logjstics is the kinda thing that would have absolutely brought down an empire, but we managed.
I feel he was well intended and just naive. When he finally made it, he quickly realized he wouldn't stay PM for long if he did, not only because the people in power wouldn't let him if he was to push another voting system, but that his party probably wouldn't win another election ever. (Ending the conservative/liberal back and forth forever).
I think he could have done it and started a strong/young party, fully embrace the change albeit taking a chance people wouldn't vote for him. But he's a traditional political boy.
After the french revolution, the people who took over did the same exact thing as before, and abused their power. When Lenin finally took over and gave Russians free elections,, they didnt vote for him. He said fuck them and took power anyway. It do be like that for these types.
Hey cut our friend some slack, it's probably PTSD from covid. Gather round, grandpas gonna tell a story..
There was a time you see, when it was not allowed to return your cart at the store as they had to be cleaned, you had to return it at the corral with the other biohazards.
They say that out there in the masses, some are still mentally in lockdown.
Oops. I didn't look back at the picture i thought it said 80s. It just ended in 8.
Was here to say the same. I get the point but that picture isn't 40 years old.
He's not asking because he understands great circles or is suddenly curious about planes. He's "just asking questions", specifically on a public forum to drum up disinformation and anti-science rhetoric. He's essentially giving a shout-out to his conservative skeptic gang that if powerful rich people question science and common knowledge, they should keep doing it too
