I mean, so can anybody that isn't an corrupt oligarchy where 98% of the cost is shareholder bloat.

So these are sufficient for the task at hand, it's just not accurate enough without more saturation, and since they roll these fucks out like cigarettes, that's totally possible

Gotcha. Do they have any hypersonics with a bigger payload?

Like ok I don't think neocons are trots, I don't know what christianized means. His description of America's divide et impera strategy is a bit dramatic "spirit of hatred" like it's an innate quality or something. But overall he pretty much outlines the shift to modern warfare after vietnam and the reasons for this pretty coherently.

They want a second front against Russa

I recall an failed Elizabethan assassination attempt that might be applicable here

Probably brain drain too. I wouldn't be shocked if the 20% of Israelis with more than one passport are responsible for like 80% of GDP

Does anybody have any solid data about what the inventory is? I heard the stockpile got pretty low during Syria/Libya, I can't imagine there's a healthy reserve between Ukraine, Gaza, and Yemen.

[-] Iwishiwasntthisway@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

Can somebody smarter than me game this out please? Because Yemen seems like geographical similar to Afghanistan but with modern weapons along with being a stones throw from shipping lanes and the sexiest oil fields in the world. This seems like it supercedes the risk of MIC shareholders making a lot of money. Like, it fucks with most of the Black rock portfolio, no?

The amount of times I have seen these people mock dead children is horrifying. And not just on those telegram channels, pretty much any medium with a comment section that shows suffering from Gaza will attract a handful of these people saying the most disgusting things. That, or they'll claim it's fake when it clearly couldn't be, or even worse that the parents are mutilating their own children just to make "Jews look bad".

These types of images existed during Afghanistan and Iraq, albeit not in nearly the same volume. When CNN had a comments section, I can't remember a time when Americans were saying things like that to footage of dead and dying children, on the rare occasion we'd see it.

They will also do some of the most insane mental gymnastics to justify war crimes. When the Julian Assange leaks came out, or stories of weddings being droned, Americans might have said something about "bad apples" or "honest mistakes".

I got into an argument with some Hasbot over a video of an older male civilization being killed. They claimed that the soldier murdering the civilian lost family on Oct 7. When I asked the soldier's name and the name of the family member lost, since such records exist, the response was literally "Well I don't know for sure the soldier lost family on Oct 7, but he could have, why don't you have any empathy for him?" They literally conceive of killing non combatants in cold blood the same way you might think of punching a wall when angry.

I once went 12 years. The hygienist cringed when she heard this, and then sighed with relief when she saw my mouth, which had some plaque but wasn't a horror show.
