Cripple. History Major. Vaguely left-wing.
Russia is just honoring the Great Patriotic War!
Hadrian just wants to bone his boytoy in peace, no matter how many barbarian men, women, and children he has to kill to get it.
Oh, I’m not saying they’re not shitty. I’m only saying they aren’t nearly as competent as people think.
DoD: “We have a recruitment problem, not an equipment problem. Allocate money properly please?”
Congress: “Where’s the profit in that? You can’t get kickbacks from the enlisted!”
Sometimes they tried to kill Castro with exploding cigars.
The CIA is often attributed great cunning and intelligence, both in popular culture and by their enemies.
In reality, they were busy during the Cold War dosing up on LSD and trying to cultivate psychic powers, including tests to try to kill goats with mind-powers
Because the cry of “But nuclear weapons!” is exactly the line Russia has been pushing since day 3 of this war, in which the lesson is “You can do anything you want to ‘lesser’ powers if you have nuclear weapons, up to and including genocide”
Because they’re off by almost an entire order of magnitude (Russia is generally estimated to have 5,000-6,000 nukes, comparable to the US stockpile)
Because this is NCD, and we yearn to die in nuclear hellfire here.
What’s the tonnage on that?
I wish I could lie to you. To give you sweet, comforting fictions.
Unfortunately, I don’t think it matters what he spews. One-in-four Americans already have a positive view of Putin. I think he’s got the crazy demographic already locked down.
When the F16s arrive, Russia’s own air defense will vanish in smoke & fire.
Doubtful. I would love for this to be the case, but a supply of F-16s will just strip Russia of its current dominance over contested airspace. There’s a reason SEAD motto is “You gotta be shittin’ me”
Clearly you aren’t up-to-date with the latest in anti-elephant technology.
Truly noncredible, I know, but I had the idea pop into my head and couldn’t let it go.
USMC Aviation was put over US Army Aviation because US Army Aviation doesn’t operate the sexier forms of fixed-wing aircraft.
“Most powerful” instead of “Largest” used on purpose.
Surfing is halal, generosity is mustahabb. You take the man to the beach!
I thought the post was contrasting the popular view of “OMG ROMMEL IS SUCH A GENIUS HE DESTROYED TANKS WITH BIG GUNS” with “Actual heroes destroying tanks with 25mm”
“Backwater”?
Well, no, you see, there were no Russian troops in Crimea at the time, so there would have just been unaffiliated peacekeepers with American accents in the area cleaning those bandits up! No fight with a nuclear power needed!
No downvotes visible on Kbin yet, but it might be some vatnik who’s pissy about the original image.
