@Ross__Hendricks @Yulai_Jump If you think these aircraft losses are high, check desert storm.

A fire starting is completely plausible ... having so few functioning fire control systems in place that it causes wide scale damage that puts the entire ship out of commission in the middle of active combat is a stretch What about the aircraft that keep falling out of the sky? Do you believe those stories too?

So the official narrative is that a "fluff buildup" in a laundry room puts an aircraft carrier in the repair bay for two years... Do they really believe we're this dumb? Are we this dumb?

@southgtsumn2say @m7liek @JohnByram11 @GoodVibePolitik You can't complain that the U.S. doesn't want to trade with Cuba, when Cuba doesn't want to listen to the U.S.

@MittBloomberg @m7liek @JohnByram11 @GoodVibePolitik The world doesn’t have to abide by your rules and thankfully that is coming to fruition very soon

@WorldBriefWire @Haqiqatjou An fire broke out in the laundry yeah, but the Ford being out at sea for so long already violates Navy policy. There is a reason the U.S. built 11 of these carriers.

@MittBloomberg @Haqiqatjou you might be right but its all very suspicious

A Muslim country putting a US aircraft carrier out of commission would be too demoralizing to admit. So they just claim it was a washing machine that blew up.

@jacksonhinklle Trade with a capitalist nation?

🇨🇺 I STAND WITH CUBA! END THE EMBARGO!

@Haqiqatjou You realize the U.S. has 11 carriers due to the maintenance such vessels need? The Ford itself has been live since August near Venezuela.

@WorldBriefWire @Haqiqatjou You realize the U.S. has 11 carriers due to the maintenance such vessels need? The Ford itself has been live since August near Venezuela.

@Haqiqatjou You know the empire is tired when the “unstoppable” carrier needs a laundry disclaimer, a maintenance stop, and a full marketing escort. Forget enemy propaganda. This thing got mugged by a spin cycle. Be honest, what took a bigger hit here the ship, or the invincibility myth?

@llchristyll @NathanJRobinson Cuba made its choice to back Maduro and Ortega, this is the consequence.

A moving piece about what it was like to be in Havana this week, from @NathanJRobinson

@southgtsumn2say @m7liek @JohnByram11 @GoodVibePolitik Well, the libertad act is clear of what to do to lift the embargo. All it requires is a light reading of the act's steps.

@MittBloomberg @m7liek @JohnByram11 @GoodVibePolitik Due to a blockade that no Americans acknowledge for whatever reason but you all average like a sixth grade reading level so it’s no surprise

@southgtsumn2say @m7liek @JohnByram11 @GoodVibePolitik So smart...must explain the blackouts.

@MittBloomberg @m7liek @JohnByram11 @GoodVibePolitik Social programs like this are the reason Cubans are some of the smartest people you’ll ever meet. I’ve met Cubans growing up fresh off the boat that were incredibly bright and easily matched the smartest kids in my high school.

@extremearturo Shouldn't have backed Maduro.

Some of you don't understand just how manipulative U.S. foreign policy is. Cuba isn't the only country the U.S. has made suffer, but the island nation does expose how billionaire pedophiles manipulate the U.S. government to achieve their greedy political aims in other countries.

@_kenschutte @KareemRifai China literally pulled investment from Havana because they didn't enact market reforms.

America FORCED me to fly to Cuba and stay in a 5 star hotel. America FORCED Cuba to deny its people basic civil liberties. America FORCED Cuba to ban all political opposition. America FORCED Cuba to mismanage its economy. No one has agency! See how this works?

@InkandLearn @KareemRifai No, but it is the country that backed Maduro and Ortega, who sent around 700k refugees to the U.S.

@KareemRifai Cuba is: > not the only country where its people are lacking basic civil liberties > not the only country to mismanage its economy > not the only country to effectively not have a viable political opposition America should either sanction other countries or lift the embargo

@davidrkadler @CNN Quick...tell Maduro before its too late!!!!

Another must-watch interview on @CNN

@_TereFelipe_ Then why the blackout?

🇨🇺 En solo seis meses, Cuba logró aumentar del 6 % al 20 % su dependencia de las energías solar y térmica. Este salto se produjo en medio del endurecimiento del bloqueo por parte de la administración Trump, que incluyó un férreo bloqueo petrolero para asfixiar a la isla. Pese a ello, el pueblo cubano demostró una vez más su capacidad de resistir y adaptarse, impulsando una transición energética que las sanciones no han podido detener.

@extremearturo Cuba chose this fate when they backed Chavez and Ortega and Maduro.

While they mock people's humanity for bringing aid to Cuba, they advocate for war and the starvation of millions of people. These are not the good guys.

@Coste1Costello @guychristensen_ Why are anti-American nations entitled to America's trade?

In Cuba I stared eye to eye with the consequences of imperialism for the first time in my life. My heart is shattered. The genocidal US blockade of medicine, energy, and food MUST END. VIVA CUBA!

@JakekarlP @actsmaniac Except literally every socialist champions it.

@actsmaniac Rent control is not socialism

liberalism will not succeed if it's afraid to fight for its positions and take heat. you have to be willing to get death threats from socialists because you called rent control dumb. otherwise you turn into shapeless technocrats who can't get up from their comfortable seats. political relevance doesn't come from managing the status quo. it comes from formulating alternatives. if you don't shape the debate, you are the one who gets shaped. there are so many social democratic and socialist policies which are obviously failing in real-time right now, you can't be afraid to say it.

@RedPill_Marxism The Cuban official unplugging ventilators to power Hasan's hotel..

Who gives a fuck about glasses? What have you done for Cuba, except blame Communism for its struggles while purposefully ignoring that there's an entire blockade, like all anti-Communists do? At least Hasan is well-intentioned, meanwhile you support the silent genocide on Cuba

@m7liek @JohnByram11 @GoodVibePolitik Money spent educating only one is money poorly spent.

@JohnByram11 @GoodVibePolitik Do you understand how much of piece of shit you have to be to seriously type some stupid shit like this after reading the original post?

@bazaarofwar Cheap drones have changed literally everything. IEDs were already the leading cause of coalition deaths. The Russo-Ukrainian war is showing the evolution of the IED.

Lest we forget amidst the torrent of Iran news, 23 years ago US-led forces were beginning their drive on Baghdad. So much has changed since then, it seems like a completely different era of warfare. For precisely that reason, it's worth looking back and considering how it would be fought with today's weapons - counterfactuals help us see how deeply technology alters planning assumptions. Below is my modest attempt to do so in a few thousand words. This is not a complete reimagining of the entire scheme of maneuver, but rather a look at several tactical scenarios: dispatch.bazaarofwar.com/p/oif-redux-im…
