Can you imagine if the US was under a threat that required 1,500 of the US militaries' most highly trained infantry to quell it?

What would that look like?

It would have to be a great Kaiju monster that destroyed millions of americans homes and left them homeless.

It would have to be a Cthulian monster with countless tentacles pushing people into death spirals of opioid addiction left unpunished by the people who claim to protect us from Lovecraftian horrors...

It would have to be a monster capable of terrible annihilation of the very landscape we and rely upon.

A new report released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reveals wetlands – 95 percent of which are freshwater — covered less than 6 percent of the lower 48 states as of 2019 – which is half the area they covered since the 1780s. The report also identifies that loss rates have increased by 50 percent since 2009 and that without additional conservation actions taken to protect these ecosystems, wetland loss will likely continue, reducing ecosystem benefits for people and habitat for fish, wildlife and plants.

It would have to be an evil force of imprisonment, one of dislocation and annihilation of family structures.

It would have to deny even the basic luxury of children having access to a green place to be kids, to explore, create and learn like kids are meant to.

To need that many troops to defend us, surely the evil must be distributed, unending and utterly unpredictable, bleeding out the heart of america with a thousand cuts....

What horrifying monster could pose such a threat?!?!?!

Surely this must be who we should be terrified of!

What about a trebuche onto an open field that then by pure coincidence is hitting the plane?

[-] zerosignal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

If you shoot the plane, they all have parachutes

I doubt they have the time to react with a huge boulder the size of a enormouse boulder striking their plane. Hm and even if, we'll train birds, ravens, to bite the parachutes!

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
