Venezuela!

 War is coming, but at what cost to the Region?

The Americans claim to have the tech to win this quickly, but Venezuela has some really cool new Russian teach, that is far better than what the U,S, Presidents claims along with his narcotic claims and idiotic polices regarding Honduras!

The real reason is free resources and the removal of a socialist government, but what the U.S. administration does not understand at this time, is that this will go on for years and it will not take the worlds eyes off the middle-east or the Russia-Ukraine conflict along with many others!

Russia has supplied Venezuela with some sophisticated kit and U.S. collateral damage will not go down well with the public back home, while the republicans might not see them back in office ever again?

Sukhoi Su-27's, F-35's, Tupolev TU-160, B-2 bombers and fighter jets, missile systems galore, battle experienced troops fighting in the Ukraine and other nations like China and N-Korea will lead to world war -III something that Mr, Trump has hinted too for some time, to change the world!

Aged aircraft, after UPS Kentucky!

 Ten years after date to Withdraw? 

The sad loss of the MD-11 in Louisville was a disaster waiting to happen, was it fatigue or bad maintenance that one engine fell off this UPS air freighter on take-off for Europe!

When these aircraft come to the end of their commercial life, they become cargo planes and will probably fly until this incident and lost of goods?

What is to become of this aged fleet, the breakers yard for spare parts or just scrap, or other ground uses, bars, homes!

But the laws may need to be changed to end these classics for other withdrawn aircraft and a limited flying time them before dismantling?

Drones verses Missiles!

 Ukrainian war a proving Ground?

Kiev does not yet see that the NATO is using the Ukraine to test out their military systems and to prove that missiles are still better than drones!

When Zelensky offered his new drones to the U.S. President Trump was offended, because only America makes the best of everything, but this is another lie that comes from this silly man?

Russia, China and N-Korea, if not India and few others have much better systems than the U.S., as well as armor, guns, small-arms, and aircraft, while shipping is a difficult area and drones continue to have a limited capability, because of size and weight issues!

Donald Trump has been very critical of U.S. naval design, since he has a limited understanding of what stealth is and has to look back to warships with big guns?

But the future of air-defense is to be laser weapons, rather than rockets, while drones will continue to be effective in localized situations, rather than anything with a long range that Ukraine may never get.

Trike E-Bikes!

 Two seat versions?

One recently watched a series of videos made by a Polish Gentleman, I took to be a retired seas captain, who made his own one bed camper and it was ingenious to what can be achieved, but I wanted a two sleeper and also cut down on many extras, just keeping it basic and to 8.5 Kilos towing weight!

One also wanted to be able to take a passenger on the trike, with a suitable cover and extra batteries and what could be achieved with speed and distance along with safety?

Many people are buying these trikes to undercut road fines and operate for short journeys, cutting down on burning petrol, but one does not know what the legislation and the law of the road may change regionally in relation to what you can do or not and that make the concept pointless cross regional borders!

Space Colonization!

 Very Expensive?

It is all wonderful news that humans are returning to the Moon and we may have robotic humanoids on Mars in the next five years, but as for colonization apart from the scientific, that may still be a hundred years away yet, since it will be very expensive to maintain!

But with A.I. now moving fast and the conversion facilities for creating water and air, we may be able to sustain these drilling operations powered by low intensity nuclear power and other technology to do much more than we can now?

What holds us back now is mental health issues that were experienced on the International space station, being dealt with on long duration flights and how will we take to living on another world, with many moral questions too as to child birth and death!

Signal Complexities!

 There is more to Train Driving?

Understanding your road (Track) is only the beginning of a more complex observation and trust in the signal control centers is the start of being a driver, wither passenger, underground or freight!

The driver must be watching and have good eyesight to obstacles on the road, from engineering workers, to the public and criminal activity, while speeds must be kept to, there are changes at times that have to be heeded?

On the Tube, Metro, Underground there may be slightly different rules, but crossing tracks is out of the control of the drivers and today much of it is in the hands of automation and now A.I. and in the near future more driver less trains will be in service all over the place!

Automation came in because of human error, due to being slack, lazy, but more likely tiredness and the actions leading to serious accidents from the introduction of railways and the underground?

Water Sports!

 Not near the Sea?

Since many people do not live near the sea, they have to find a alternative such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs that are the next best thing for small dinghies, water boarding and canoeing many other types and they are very popular!, 

Perhaps because in some cases they are safer, but on lakes and rivers currents do remain a danger to paddle boards and rafters, even in controlled environments, when errors of judgement are made?

Jet skiing and many motors sports can be done on a lake are worth the practice before doing on the sea and that applies to all the above since the sea is unpredictable than being flat calm in some cases!
