It was stupid movie decision to make the opening of the battle more 'tense'
In the book, if I recall, they were harassing the Orcs with skirmishers and scouts the entire way and the minute they were in range of the rest of the archers they all just let loose.
How come USA never gets punished for war crimes? Why haven't Barack Obama and George W Bush been hauled infront of an international tribunal like Slobadan Milosovic so they can face justice for the war crimes they committed?
Too powerful. The US military basically keeps the entire world safe and it has no competitors whatsoever so they basically have total power over the rest of the world
US navy pretty much enables international trade through sea. International waters would have been a fricking Pirates of Caribbeans 6 if they weren't policing them, because wtf is Estonia gonna do when Kongo steals their shipment of Chinese plastic?
Use the european union (read: french and british navies) to crush the third world speedboats in the name of free trade? >Implying france
Obviously this would be an alternate world where the EU navies are much better since the US navy isn't there to save their asses
So to reiterate, the US has the only real military and it's currently responsible for keeping the world safe

You're responsible for keeping your company running, until you quit, then someone else is. Global trade will happen as long as the powers on top will benefit from it, if global trade only happens because the US benefits, then that is an admission that the US isn't helping anyone else. Of course this is false, they are helping, and if they weren't it would maybe not be as effective, but they're not the sole pillar upholding it.

Yes, the barbarians didn't "pick up the slack" for the silver mine germanic slave trade because only rome benefitted. I'm glad I'm making myself understood. But really, who suffered from the collapse of rome, aside from the romans?
>The US military basically keeps the entire world safe
Except for Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, countries that catch us on a bad day etc. At least Israel is safe. At the end of the day that's all that matters to me.
Iran used to be a cosmopolitan, western leaning nation poised to be a major player in regional affairs going forward. They had a democratically elected, popular, moderate leader. Then he made the mistake of trying to take back the oil industry from the British who along with the newly formed nation of Israel cried so hard that the CIA hired street thugs to riot until the administration was forced into exile. The American puppet is quickly deposed and in the ensuing chaos the religious fundamentalists take over and you get modern Iran. Read a book.

The lifespan of a nuclear weapon, or more specifically its plutonium core, is estimated to be at least 100 years but that depends on the design.

Plutonium does. However, many use tritium too. The weapons that use tritium as fission initiators or for boosting have a limited life because tritium has a half-life of 12.32 years. Within this time period, the amount of tritium is reduced by 50%. In two periods (24.64 years), the amount is reduced by 75%. Etc. When the tritium is critical for these operations, this gives a time limit on functional lifespan of the weapon. To keep the weapon operational, the tritium components must be replaced on a regular schedule. And thus the supply chain for tritium must be in place as well.
Boosting is pretty common for smaller, more “efficient” weapons such as tactical nuclear weapons.
have a nice day Ivan. Russia is shit. Your country is a joke. Your military can't even handle fricking Ukraine. You are a fricking joke to the rest of the world. Your black sea fleet ran like b***hes from a country that doesn't have a fricking Navy. Go die in Ukraine already you homosexual.

“War crimes” don’t exist it’s just a way to punish vanquished foes that fits into our liberal mythos and culture
Unlike other empires we cannot just say “king Hasdrubal of Carthage you are to be put to death and your wealth confiscated because we defeated you” so we claim that the enemies committed some sort of crime against liberal ethics like “Genocide” “intolerance” etc
Basically the liberal modern world is extremely fake and womanish and thus needs to do womanish fake things to justify its power actions
Eh, they just said hasdrubal had displeased the gods or became a tyrant (see: caesar) or dared stand up against the sacred roman imperial authority or something. People always needed a justification for why their authority is valid.
This. War crimes is just a way for the winning side to stroke their ego and punish the people who didn't die during the war, while getting to pat themselves on the back for being "better and more civilized" then the side who lost, justifying their actions

>Why haven't Barack Obama and George W Bush been hauled infront of an international tribunal
They did nothing wrong. Trump is rightfully going to prison though.
The people and countries that get punished by war crimes don't get punished for war crimes. They get punished for fricking with the USA. War crimes is the excuse to punish them. No one has ever been punished for war crimes in all of History.

ive never understood this meme. was it established somewhere that orcs like to yell for prolonged periods of time before a battle? everybody acts like this guy accidentally shooting one orc in the throat is what kicked it all off. whose to say the orcs werent going to attack 3 seconds later regardless?
This.
It’s not like the orcs marched all the way to helm’s deep just to yell for a bit then turn around and leave. If those frickers were within arrow range then Theoden, Aragorn, and Haldir should have been ordering arrows to loose anyway.
The correct term to use for bows and arrows is "loose". You shoot a bullet, but you loose an arrow. Most people are ignorant of the distinction in incorectly say shoot for both guns and bows.
>lets have 20 thousand untrained archers draw and hold a 60lb longbow for 5 or 10 minutes

The frigates are for sinking pirates, the aircraft carriers are for sinking governments. The former protects the latter.

oh no your europeans get to use your money doing better things because the u.s. navy is protecting you. what an awful deal.
Never said otherwise, just that the US isn't necessary for world trade. Having an entire continent and 350 million people as your ally always helps.
Now, about the funding for all those social programs
Oh yes, well we'll have to cut the immigrants from them, what a shame
