H I Sutton's recent video on China's new invasion barges was very interesting so not really HN material, but there he talked about how all of Chinas ferries are designed to also move tanks if they have to - ▶ this video You go to South Korea or Taiwan and all their subways are also bomb shelters, but something like The Boring Company, environmentally amazing, strategically amazing and everyone thinks it's funny to put it down. There's a massive problem with attitude and IQ in the internet population.

The Defence Analyst who wrote this article has posted a YouTube video where they outline why they are specifically designed for invasion. ▶ this video
