Thoughts on the Hi-Point 9mm Carbine?
It seems like a good gun to get started with.
Being Hi-Point it's pretty cheap and in the big igloo it would be easy to get 9mm.

hipoints are as simple as Makarovs: you need to disasseble it to clean really often.


also: cheap gun -- cheap ammo. Cheap ammo = dirty shit. Dirty shit + gun = oopsie

1. hi-points --- simple blowback action, like Makarovs.

Precise, but needs lots of cleaning

2. Cheap gun owners can buy cheap ammo because, you know, they are cheap

Cheap ammo may be a problem

Supposedly, all HiPoint firearms are very durable. If you save us a little bit you can afford a Ruger PC carbine that won't get you made fun of. However, I've always wanted to get the HiPoint carbine, with the bull pup conversion kit. Those look and perform excellent.

Although I was born in 1-party dictatorship country where people from school security guards to high-class scholars all loves calling for a war, I am very worried about the fall of the island nation across the strait that it would be annexed by the hysterical invaders from my country that I can't sleep at night. What should I do?

Don't know. But the silver lining about a possible 3rd one is that all of that feminist LGBT culture is going to die out and some feminist bitches are going to bite some lead. Too bad I'm probably gonna die as well, but at least I do so knowing they got fucked as well.

Russia soon stronk? How significant is a new trade route like this? Will this have any geopolitical implications considering balance of power? Route from China to Rotterdam for example goes down from 48 hours -> 19 hours (says in linked video), a huge reduction.
Any Russian posters here know about the subject?

Regarding Indonesia;

Indonesia has a crazy strong position, massive growth potential, and isn't stagnating unlike most comparable countries (e.g. Brazil). Plus, they're on the equator, that's the best position for launching shit into space.
They're in shape good enough that they could project a new capital somewhere in Borneo.
And then there's massive mineral wealth they can get from Papua. Which is already getting quite nasty, with big mining moving in and natives making a fuss about it.
But most importantly, Malays have been a trade superpower before; there's also a Chinese diaspora that might come in play with taking over and moving stuff out of China in the future possibly, and their location is right on the main global shipping route. If they can start homegrowing their elite (or perhaps, if their growing power starts to get Singapore gravitating their way, and they just de facto take over institutions already there), I can see them as a potential future superpower.

Russia has been fortifying their arctic regions with new military tech, while our military has been advancing itself with progressive rights and being inclusive. 
If Russia dares to fight us, it will must face the consequences of involuntarily becoming a pidor invasion.

This is only happening because Jakarta is sinking and they want to be less centralised on Java.

i can't imagine how tough and pointless its going to be to fight for Northern arctic islands in future wars
Tropical islands i get it, sometimes when there is no fighting you can just chill and enjoy the weather, the beach.
But in the Arctic its fucked up. They don't even need to kill you per se, the enemy can just bomb the building you are staying in and destroy the heater, make few holes in the walls and then you are done for. If enemy would just blockade water ways and you will get no supply - you can just be forgotten and die by freezing to death.

It’s aesthetic because it looks like a hover tank from the future. Remove the treads and it could be a design from 200 years from now.

I have a question for German bernds. Is that true that a civilian can't enroll a military university to become a Bundeswehr officer? I.e. you have to enlist as private, serve some years as a grunt, may be get an NCO rank, and only then you'd be suitable for becoming an officer candidate?

Universal military service is historically a bit of a fluke too. In Europe it hasn't been a thing since old Roman Republic days until Napoleon decided to just flood the rest of Europe with grunts. Imperial armies were pros and foreign auxiliaries, high medieval armies were special military class, and early modern armies (as well as medieval Italian armies) were mercenary bands.

The Roman Republic didn't have universal mili service, they conscripted only those nibbas whomth they thought were the best suited for service

Well you get what I mean, in pre-Marian system every single Roman citizen was conscriptable at politicians' will.
But there was no mandatory boot camp. You only received training when a campaign was actually called. So in times of peace you could avoid conscription.

Now in say Athens, however, everyone had 2 years of military training.

No, there were also men at arms and peasant soldiers etc.

But not much is known about them.

What do you guys think of these mercers? I had a comrade who went to France to join but cut off all communication, right now I am going through financial problems and clearly it is better to be paid for military work in France than in my country, has anyone been in that force or knows anything about it?

They have so many applicants that they can choose the best of the best. It's not like in the 60s anymore.
You can try but I wouldn't be too hopeful.
