Im going to try and be nice about this but do you need me to explain how diffrent sized airplanes do diffrent jobs, not just based on how we are feeling but by their sheer physical makeup

do you understand why having less than 150 bombers in a fleet might be a problem when the fucking vietanmese were able to to shoot 3 down with wire guided soviet era missiles?

Its like playing whack-a-mole some days....

And why would we use traditional bombers in place of missiles? That shift already happened. The Nike program was wound up because it was designed as an anti-bomber system and at the time counter-missile defense, especially for ICBMs, just wasn't there.

Long-range missiles with precision targeting fired from boats thousands of miles away are cheaper and safer. US military doctrine since WWII has been "blow it the fuck up from afar."

Old school bombers are obsolete.

RETVRN to old world fashion. I'm actually very bored of endless suits in politics.

yeah ngl when Mohdi rocks some weird pajeet gear I'm down with it
make sure it's got more going than some olive drab shit from the army surplus store, but yeah bring the local drip

The sad truth is is this: this whole thing blew up because of lack of understanding of cultural differences, and Zelensky's poor English skills.

I'm not a language-ologist but I'm pretty sure " yeah this agreement I said was cool is cool, but also commit your troops to ground conflict kthx" is a bit more than a translation issue

Isn't stuff with shooting at duffies of “wrong” politicians was only Muslim and African theme?

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

Wait i remember maks, that's friend of american nazi(actual nazi) who tried to become part of 2 far right unions in Moscow and was beaten and fled to Ukraine

Does he actually fight? I know he likes to brag about being this big shot Ukrainian WARRIOR, and all, but I don't think this guy is on the field much.

B52's and TU-1ETA(95's) have been long range stand-off cruise missile launchers since the 80s and still are. The B2's original plan was to loiter and take out the mobile leftover Topol launchers after a first strike, at best. I wish we hadn't ditched the Midgetman still. I do not fully trust there can't be some breakthrough that'll detect subs well, no matter how stealthy.

I *think* the B21 will be made in numbers that'll balance the triad, God knows it needs it now.

missiles by their very nature can never be competently immune to hacking, in the 21st century, MARK MY WORDS, electronic warfare will reign supreme, anything that cant be 100% digitaly secure will not be reliable

Old school planes with minimal radio and radar will be the gold standard for munition delivery long range right behind wired drones

About that i don't know. I just know about Moscow "greetings" by righties and leftists, and for mentioning this he threatens to mass report

Miceoplastics and other shit are wrecking havoc on T levels and society has turned them into women with penises. The whole idea of a warm welcoming environment is antithetical to how men operate.men don't want to be coddled in schools growing up. They want the freedom to run with sharp things and do stupid shit. I'm not advocating that everyone should lose an eye playing with scissors or be intentionally harmed but there's a lot of character kids haven't been building for a long time that comes from it.

Microplastics and other t-lowering things are real and there's definitely something physical going on with males, when you spend time around males who grew up outside of the west and away from industry it's really clear, but I also think a major basic problem is mixed-sex education. I have a lot of experience with single sex education and I think it's extremely, extremely bad for both sexes to be educated together. Women who were educated in single sex environments don't, ime, need or expect any bullshit "warm welcoming environment" in adulthood and men who were educated in single sex environments develop their basic social abilities with *other males* like God intended. It's critical for both sexes to develop as young people without the pressure of looking cool to the other sex, it's also critical to protect girls from superior male strength and aggression and boys from superior female social abilities and manipulation. I actually think this has *physical* effects, possibly just as much as microplastics or whatever.

If anything Zelensky uses his ignorance of the English language as a shield/crutch. It was kinda obvious in the exchange

Zelensky can barely speak "Ukrainian" too. Zelensky's interpreter speaks to him in Russian.

the UK's current count of 200 something

FORTY. The UK has FORTY functional tanks.

But I'm not playing cards!!

Yeah, it's cool when people own their culture. I know Zman isn't really Ukrainian considering his (((roots))) but it would be kino if he just started dressing like a Cossack which prompts Putin to start Oprichniki-maxxxing

 

[The Ugly One]

And why would we use traditional bombers in place of missiles?

Because when you launch a missile from the sky instead of the ground, you can put more payload on the target from a closer range.

I feel like Argentina could easily take the Falklands back

It was never theirs, same way Cuba never belonged to Mexico.

 

[Spech]

This is just a hunch, but I believe Zelensky has to "appear strong" because his constituents are a bunch of gruff slavs who have lost everything actively fighting a war.

Well maybe, but both Ukrainian and American diplomats had been working for weeks to get the details of the trade deal & the future peace deal ready. Zelensky is out as soon as the war is over regardless since he is wildly unpopular, so I really can't fathom the purpose politically for not conceding to US terms other than ego, drugs, or delusion.
I do think he was told by the democrat leaders when he met with them first to "stand up to that dang dirty old Trump," and overestimated actual American support for the continuation of the war. But it massively backfired and jeopardized thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives in the process.

FORTY. The UK has FORTY functional tanks.

It was 40 that were stripped for parts after 100 or so were being mothballed in the financial crisis. They have 220~ functional tanks and 3000 armoured vehicles.

Norway is refusing to refuel US ships. Looks like the EU's balls finally dropped

EDIT: Correction: It's merely a Norwegian oil company

 

[Margo Martindale]

C-130 has been used as a bomber!

C-130 is also the only plane that can drop the MOAB (which would be kinda funny if Trump authorizes its use again)

That's an interesting development if true, the Norwegians aren't part of the European Union proper but they are very associated with it.

Let's fuckin' get it. Everyone wants to get their nut up, fine by me. Uncle Sam's been quiet in the corner for a while.
