The problem with keeping radars off is that SEAD weapons are usually paired up with something intended to hit the site if it stays dark, such as a cruise missile, drone, or long range glide bomb.

Sadly Israel has a few hundred aircraft.

Ukraine MOD claims 100,000 Russian dead, and 10,000 Ukrainian dead for Bakhmut.

Unfortunately for Zelensky, the ongoing fantasist narrative doesn't actually translate well to real victories.

I once helped out with an effort to drive our cities old firetrucks all the way to Gaza.

Israel impounded them for months, and they saw a few months of service before being targeted by an Israeli airstrike. That journey and talking to the firefighters making the journey with their old vehicles was what really flipped me to being a communist. British firefighters already mistrust the army, since the army are the on call scabs. It's not a big leap to go from "the army enforces the rule of capital domestically" to "the army enforces the rule of capital internationally"

That trip was like my own little "motorcycle diaries".

You can check what kind of aircraft fleet the airline has before you buy the ticket. For example, Scandinavian Airlines doesn't operate boeings.

This is the end of the chapo ark. Let's pack up.

Tiny Tet offensive.

I forgot how fragile and cowardly liberals on the internet are. Hexbear has spoiled me because you get actual communication with people who are willing to defend their beliefs in a passionate, level way without getting nasty.

Even just calmly telling someone "hey we can't downvote you" is seen as harassment

Everyone that disagrees with you is a child? Sounds like the kind of thing a bot would say.

You just engaged in a discussion without name calling, malice, or anuses.

The difference is you didn't call us bots, tankies, nazi's, or use ableist or homophobic slurs.

If the Armenian's weren't so horny for genocide I'd support them, but they're no better than the Azeri's. Why should I be upset at the Armenian's being slowly choked out of Nagorno-Karabakh after they forcefully ejected the Azeri's only a couple of decades ago??

Edit: Like no, really, why should I weep for the coercive removal of a bunch of genocidal people who destroyed the homes of others to force them to leave within my own lifetime?

Possibly means they turned off their transponder for deniability.
