Not enjoying a good A-10 strafing run is one of the least masculine things I can think of. Less masculine than wearing a dress, that’s for sure.

I don’t think it’s an inconsistent engagement strategy, I think it’s inconsistent success. Had the military been able to take down any of the drones over bases, I believe we would have heard about it by now. I don’t think they’re eager to announce their failures and amplify a vulnerability.
Im guessing the ones all over the news in 2023 were well identified and that’s the only reason we heard about them.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 NETANYAHU IS THE MASTER MANIPULATOR OF TRANSPARENT TRUMP
Intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance said that Trump admires how ruthless Israel is in pursuing its interests and wished Americans had the same mindset.
He also believes Trump's ego stands in the way of good decisions, something Netanyahu happily exploits.
"Netanyahu... he is big dicking it around Trump and Trump is just jealous of the size.
When Trump makes a decision, Netanyahu will come back and say 'Donald, that makes you look like a loser.'"

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRAN BEGAN THE AGE OF ASYMMETRY Malcolm Nance argued that Iran's success in blocking the Strait of Hormuz is a sign of the times. As technology advances, the importance of power differentials will matter less and less. That's the paradox the world experienced in the form of a debilitating energy crisis. Few oil tankers were attacked; the threat of harm alone was enough to severely hurt the global economy and make the most aggressive American president talk about "joint venture tolls." @MalcolmNance

Just thinking about that time a guy said UFOlogy needs to die and there was much kvetching but it didn’t and I still see hoaxed imagery, religious predictions, and people way dumber than me arguing with other dumb people about how they all think they have any of this figured out.

@528vibes We all need to be discussing the issue with the people in our life.
We can also write to our politicians.
The scoffers are in the minority now but we can’t let off the gas. The gains can be lost if we don’t defend the ground we’ve won.
English
@cryptologik_ Hahah no one. I'm being for real. UFO videos are everywhere now. If people still can't clue in, what can anyone do
English
🧃 UFO video galore out there
You guys don't need me anymore 🤣
Enjoy!

We Japanese witnessed this more than half a century ago when we fought against the Americans.
When one of their military aircraft was shot down and the pilot found himself adrift alone in the vast Pacific, they did not hesitate to send out a Catalina flying boat to search for him and rescue him, despite the risk of being shot down themselves.
We were not capable of doing that.
And so we were defeated.
In that sense, the Americans have not changed at all since those days.
That is precisely what makes them America.
SaltyGoat@SaltyGoat17
IDIOTS: “You would do all of this for a single pilot?” US: “Since you had to ask, you’ll never know what I means to be an American”

Trump is playing the Madman strategy again. And everyone’s falling for it…again.
Remember when we were going to invade Greenland?

A chilling and terrifying threat from the President of the US: @ABC Correspondent @rachelvscott was told by @POTUS that if Iran makes no deal he’s blowing up the whole country.
Rachel Scott@rachelvscott
Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. "If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said. I asked if there’s anything off limits. “Very little,” he said.

🇺🇲 "Observamos este objeto em formato de semente de girassol, sem se mover, bem estático, por cerca de cinco minutos até que uma nuvem o obscureceu; quando a nuvem saiu do caminho, ele tinha sumido. Meu filho e todos no trabalho dele o viram a 20 milhas (32 km) de distância, 12 minutos depois."

So we went in, built a secret base to land our aircraft, IN IRAN, WSO evades 7k feet up a mountain, we send in PJ’s and other SOF to get him, waste some IRGC dudes, planes get stuck at base, we blow them, get ALL our guys out safe, and all the sand people get for a “trophy” are a set of American flag undies. That is the biggest fuck you in the history of the world. 🇺🇸

Nope. People don’t understand selfless service. Willing to die to save my friends. My biggest fear in combat was not dying but that I would not be able to my
Job. Some of these can never understand that. I bet if you asked these guys “ who wants to go, it’s a 90% chance it will fail” you would need to order and hold people down from loading on them birds. Why cause we are a brotherhood. That’s how we survive for ever. Every single person involved I this will be remembered for ever. Look at Son Tai. At lest we tried. No nation on this earth would be able to do what we just did. Specially knowing the cost. You get rolled up anywhere. No matter what we will come for you. No
Matter the cost. Thousands will now join knowing that. We will bring you home no matter the cost.

i am finding this whole line of reasoning around "almost failed" and "why did they put more lives and equipment at risk to save one person?" baffling.
do people really not understand that this is what drives a whole military and makes it work, what gives it confidence and morale? one day, it might be you. and we will not leave you behind. we will come for you. we do not count costs, we get our people back. and everyone in the service knows this.
do people not understand why that's important, how it keeps us coherent and brave and unified?
that seems a wild and egregious lapse in comprehension. it also seems like a weirdly situational cricicism.
we routinely applaud 8 firefighters entering a burning house to save one person. we do not fret about it or cry about damage to a firetruck. we laud the bravery and the nobility of the action. we take comfort that if it were ever us, someone would come.
"firefighter lives needlessly endangered saving kitten from tree" would be a churlish and bereft headline yet it seems to be a popular one here. and i really don't get it.
it's either some deep, fundamental failure of comprehension or it's just such political derangement that people are forgetting that one can oppose a war or a president and not need to invert every single issue every single time even and especially when it makes one immoral and wrong.
if you want to oppose a war, oppose a war, but to cast soldiers rescuing their own as some sort of ill-conceived notion is simply base.
English
@SeanCFoley12 @boriquagato Good point about the equipment. A lot of people who like to virtue signal that they're compassionate humanists today seem to think that an airplane is worth more than an American life.
English
@boriquagato After all the equipment Biden left in Afghanistan, complaining about losing 3 planes just looks ridiculous.
And using the word "almost" when describing events in war is also just ridiculous.
English
The core values and motivations of the U.S. military are incomprehensible to someone like a tabloid journalist sitting in a London office building.
A lot of people who fancy themselves expert military commentators on social media would absolutely be scared shitless to even hold a firearm.

Someone please send this to that dipshit French General saying setting up a forward airbase in Iran was insane.
OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical
Reported images of the forward airbase in Iran used by US forces to successfully rescue the downed US F-15 WSO. A pair of C-130s were destroyed before final departure after they became stuck.

@MLBTV is now apparently purchased through @espn this year, but the redirect doesn't present you with any baseball packages, only ESPN Unlimited.
All of the clicking around sends you down separate account linking and provider selection trails until you ultimately are forced to sign up for ESPN Unlimited.
I don't want ESPN Unlimited, I'm trying to watch baseball. What the fuck is going on? Who designed this?

@GMGoBetting Oh, duh. Ok makes more sense. I was building something and accidentally placed this. I wasn’t done, but seems good enough.
