It's not just that #Trump is an asshole and a horrible salesman
NO ONE is so stupid and reckless
to spend #billions buying #armaments,
planes, missile systems, or whatever,
that can be remotely disabled
by someone else.

#US #military #industry died the instant Trump threatened to disable the fighter jets given to the #Ukrainians.

No one buys unreliable weapons

there is no more trust.

A quotation from William James

“Peace” in military mouths today is a synonym for “war expected.” The word has become a pure provocative, and no government wishing peace sincerely should allow it ever to be printed in a newspaper. Every up-to-date dictionary should say that “peace” and “war” mean the same thing, now in posse, now in actu. It may even reasonably be said that the intensely sharp preparation for war by the nations is the real war, permanent, unceasing; and that the battles are only a sort of public verification of the mastery gained during the “peace”-interval.

William James (1842-1910) American psychologist and philosopher
Essay (1910-02), “The Moral Equivalent of War,” Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 77 (1910-10)

I'm trying to identify a naval cannon here in England. The barrel has an overall length of 36" and a bore of 3". It has no crest in front of the touch hole.
Does anyone know where and when a relatively small cannon like this would have been used?
