lol calm down.
But to answer your question, then yeah, I'd pick Trump. Would you pick Biden if Trump raped children and ate boiled babies, or is your hate-boner for Biden that strong?
If Trump raped children and ate babies, no way in hell I'd vote for him. I still don't think I could be convinced to vote for biden in that situation - Not a believer in lesser evils, if I can't support a candidate in good consciousness, I can't support them in opposition to a worse candidate.
Quotes also being fucky for me, and I've never bothered to learn how to @ on the farms, so hope yer paying attention bud
I was always under the impression that jury rigging equipment was feasible up to a point. And one of the larger points in that was the machine's complexity. And American equipment always struck me as being very complex, sometimes needlessly so; but that said, the equipment was also extremely effective when it had proper upkeep. I've always heard stories about Soviet/Russian technology that could basically operate while being held together with string and paperclips; which is to say that their stuff had/has a very high level of tolerance when it comes to doing field repairs and just making sure it keeps going. My impression over the years is that American equipment can function this way in some cases, but that American technology is not as easily adaptable to rough repairs and quick solutions.
I think its worth keeping in mind exactly what was captured - Small arms are small fry, Afghanistan has a long history of experienced gunsmiths. Keeping an existing weapon going until essentials like the barrel wear out is easily in their ballpark, even more sensitive weapons like AR platforms. The land vehicles are no trouble, a combustion engine is a combustion engine, and they didn't capture anything to my knowledge with fancy shit like ground based radar vehicles. They'll be able to keep those running and refurbished across the fleet of humvees and MRAP's and such.
But I'm walking around the big question, the air power. Fixed wings first, because they're quick, the A29's they captured might be difficult, they are prop aircraft but they're fairly modern, well designed ones. If they either captured or had enough turncoat mechanics (I consider this highly likely if for no other reason than where else will those people keep working, not much private air in Afghanistan) then they'll probably be fine, its an export craft. So if they really want to, they'll be able to acquire parts, and as a non-jet, its air hours to overhaul hours is pretty good. The rest of the airfleet is cargo planes and Cesna's, the former are fairly irrelevant to their situation, the latter are a dime a dozen civilian aircraft, they can get parts and techs to fix those from anywhere in the civilized world.
The other big set is the helicopter fleet, and I actually hold that I think they can keep these up. So far it looks like they've captured Blackhawks, Little Birds, and some russian heli's. The Russian one are old models, will hold to their reputation of running on shit and string pretty well. The trick with the American helicopters, is how long they've been in service. Remember, the Blackhawk and Little Bird are both 50 years or older designs. Even with modernization programs and electronics overhauls, the core of those platforms is ultimately a helicopter that was intended for manufacture before the widespread availability of computer guided precision manufacturing for everything. It was designed to be machined and assembled by human hands with mostly man scale tools. Cutting edge for its time, but still fifty years old. They may lose fancy functionality over time like modern computer warning systems, but they'll keep flying. Especially when the forces on the ground completely shit the bed on scrapping them during the evac.
