@AgoraSignal @BADALEX_ @Clint_Davey1 You're asking this about a continent where child soldiers are a norm.

@BADALEX_ @Clint_Davey1 Well, isn't it common sense? Would you join an insurgency that doesn't know what it's doing?

Rhodesian performance in the Bush War is very impressive.
But we still need to remember that the rebels they were fighting could barely shoot.
They weren't badly equipped - AK-47's are an excellent weapon. They also had some mortars, machine guns and AA guns supplied by the Soviets and Chinese.
But they were comically inept at shooting.
This is why you could do Fire Force missions - helicopter deployment and parachute drops within small arms range of the enemy.
You probably couldn't pull this off against the Viet Cong or the Taliban. They would actually shoot you.

@thebeanbrew @ZoomerHistorian I mean, they were able to pick up and leave to get here...
English
@ZoomerHistorian what's the plan for those who cant just pick up and leave, or don't have a place to remigrate to, exactly?

What do you think of my new logo for my X feed dedicated to 1980s nostalgia?

@AcademicAgent_X @Sargon_of_Akkad You played Total War on easy and couldn't win without auto resolve.
English
I need to defend from this slander from @Sargon_of_Akkad : I don’t like it when a hard mode is just artificially weighting AI (eg double damage), I like “core” settings without unfair advantages
Academic Agent@AcademicAgent_X
@Sargon_of_Akkad Hold on. Default is not easy mode!

@nachronismus @MorgothsReview "It's inconvenient for me that my side murders children so i'm just going to pretend it didn't happen"
English
@MorgothsReview I'm not going to believe everything that comes out of that region. These things I know: Bombing hits innocent people, the regime is still going to lie, and the regime very likely murdered more Iranians than the United States ever did (so far)

@MrMagoo710 @fishtankislive Why did they even allow Burt to do this after seeing him with Tony in S3? Bro's going to get brain damage.
English
@AcademicAgent_X Definitely possible. Why would you need to land 2 huge planes to pick up one guy when they had helicopters on the location as well?
English
Feasible.
Who is this pilot? Why isn’t he named or paraded about since he’s been saved?
Financelot@FinanceLancelot
The "downed pilot" was a fake cover story for a failed US military operation to capture Iran’s primary stockpile of highly enriched 60% uranium, roughly 440–970 pounds. The primary stockpile is located at Isfahan, exactly where the pilot was "lost." This explains why the US heavily bombed the area while "searching" and why the C-130s were destroyed without loss of life. The C-130s were hit on the ground while the special forces attempted to secure the material. The entire operation became a massive rescue operation to extract the soldiers.

@MookieMich @MorgothsReview So who is firing the missiles that shoot down American planes, or the drones wrecking them on airstrips?
English
@MorgothsReview Bear trap? 🤣 The only issue is that we took out so many leaders there is no one left to negotiate with. We also sunk their entire military and gained air superiority in days.
English
@JackDC2004 @AcademicAgent_X Where would somewhere else be? Mainland Iran? That would be even more insane.
English
@AcademicAgent_X They have been telegraphing an attack on Kharg with the intention of landing somewhere else. This would create surprise if Iran fall for it.
English
How is the 82nd Airborne meant to do any "surprise attacks" when all its movements are breathlessly tracked and telegraphed from 100s of miles away?
English
@0x0celot @fishtankislive Jet would have been a better matchup.
English
@AcademicAgent_X I wasn't aware the Houthis had stopped in the first place.

Why have they taken their time on this?

@The_Lookout_N Have to wonder how useful that is given the availability of shaheds and lack of storm shadow/ATACMS.

Ukrainian strike on the Donetsk airport Shahed site.
Special Kherson Cat 🐈🇺🇦@bayraktar_1love
Ukrainian forces struck a Shahed drone storage, preparation, and launch site near Donetsk International Airportusing ATACMS and Storm Shadow / SCALP. The strike was carried out by Ukraine’s Rocket Forces and Artillery in coordination with the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

@AcademicAgent_X I get the impression the Trump admit bought in fully to protest videos on X and ignored whatever their intelligence services had to say about it.
English
I get the impression that much of the US Iran plan was written circa 2006-8 and has been dusted off and barely updated
English
@basedregina @AcademicAgent_X Those countries would pretend to be mad the second Iran did anything, as they already have.
English
@GspdMycroft @AcademicAgent_X Why not stick to US / Israel assets, why give Europe and other countries reasons to get big mad? like hitting cyprus (uk bases), aramco, alot of hits in dubai, this is very inflammatory
English
Is Iran just trying to cripple the gulf states? What is the plan on this?
Firas Modad@firasmodad
Qatar has halted liquified natural gas production due to attacks on Ras Laffan and Msei'id. Energy Armageddon. I thought this would not happen, but, here it is.

@AcademicAgent_X Because the SK birth rate means they win in a generation or two and can just walk in.
English
Duran are saying US has 2-3 days of interceptors left and that they are going to move some Patriots from South Korea. Why wouldn't North Korea just GO FOR IT?
English
@AcademicAgent_X Iranian drones reaching that far from Iran would suggest serious failures in air defence/interception on the way.

@glum_gary @HylaGeo @GBNEWS Gary can you explain to me how the thousands who ended up enslaved by ISIS in Libya had their region "stabilise" or see their lives improve in any way? Blood and misery on the hands of people like you who cheerlead this kind of thing.
