I mean it would be faster to name the guntubers who *aren't* some flavor of nazi or fascist

I think he's Oregon but his group seems to be extremely chudded out in the prepper/militia way rather than the online racist way

I repeat: no one had to push Crusader Pete into this Holy War

haha fuck we're gonna get a guntuber in congress

Please keep in mind that while pro-Israeli voices attempt to manufacture consent for war with a NATO ally, one of these countries (Israel) is currently striking Lebanon & Iran, while Türkiye yesterday was busy neutralizing an ISIS attack in Syria in coordination with the new Syrian government. (1)

You jest but he explicitly lists compliance officers and academic administration as bullshit jobs

yeah wait let me walk that one back a bit, there's probably not a whole lot of footage out of Ukraine for opsec reasons but AFAIK Vampire has not been officially supplied to any other countries in the region and APKWS has been, albeit exclusively for air assets

I'd wager a lot of the shahed intercepts are with APKWS which is comparatively cheap but still involves putting an airframe in the air (I have seen video of APKWS on a truck in Ukraine but it wasn't used as air defense, it was for ground attack)

I mean if we're lobbing tomahawks at a half dozen Shaheds on a rack, yeah that's lopsided but if you're hitting them with a JDAM the shot exchange is probably favorable considering there's a relative lack of low end intercept methods for low end munitions

This is like blatantly not real. It's an 11.7m wingspan aircraft, which would put the resolution well below 10cm

If the former were true, it would honestly be a little bit comforting because it would mean there is an actual plan that centers around concrete political objectives rather than making and distributing snuff films on American taxpayer dollars

It's honestly kind of incredible that some people (not OP, he's making fun of them) are so conspiracy brained they've convinced themselves Trump has a grand plan to manipulate oil prices rather than him being a dumbass who want to kill brown people because it makes his dick hard

Holy shit

There's a ton of talk about how CENTCOM is pushing this because of memories of Iranian intervention in Iraq in the 2000s. I might just be a simple country lawyer, but I had long presumed that the purpose of a professional military was to *not* engage in gangbanger bullshit.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Years ago my team at CNA did a review of the US use of proxies.

A pertinent finding: “Policymakers & the US military should restrict the use of proxies to irregular warfare activities against states or other nonstate armed groups & avoid any temptations to use them as surrogate conventional armies”

Not a lawyer, but it seems like Hegseth's explicit order to relax rules of engagement, thereby deliberately endangering civilians, would make this a war crime for which he is responsible. He should he prosecuted as a monstrous war criminal at the earliest opportunity. His order killed 165 children.

"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026

Losses are to be expected, but i don't think the US has enough C-UAS assets in theater. For a long time now, there has been a particular lack of passive defense planning by the US for its IAMD assets. I can't say this loss was totally unexpected, it was eventually bound to happen.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

Be prepared to hear a lot of excuses that are pulled directly from "Armies of Sand"

Probably first major US loss of the conflict when it comes to ballistic missile defense. One of TPY-2 radars belonging to the THAAD battery deployed to Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan seems to have been struck. The full radar set goes over $200M.

There is a very funny juxtaposition of a lot of Certs having comparatively small guns because they have to get in and out of vehicles and then a Gennie built like a twig with an M1 Garand

That goes for Americans who oppose this war as well as those who back it. A lot of quick judgements being made on day 5 about the impact hugely destabilising use of US airpower will be when in reality the wider effects will play out over months and years after Trump declares victory and walks away

I hate how funny he is when he displays his obvious and correct contempt for us, the American people.

"Yeah, somebody's probably going to blow himself up at an airport or w/e. I don't really care. If you guys didn't deserve it, you wouldn't have elected me and the security for my plane is great."

This stupid fucking meme has got body shape exactly backwards. Half the fuckin population had just spent the better part of a decade being extra malnourished in the 40s while today even pogs get addicted to lifting and creatine

There's a lot of reasons why you don't want to be the guy firing bespoke interceptors at one-way attack drones because eventually you're gonna run out of stuff to steal from INDOPACOM

like the most basic takeaway from Russia's strategic bombing campaign should probably be that you should have a high/low mixture of air defense assets because your enemy is going to have a high/low mixture of strike weapons
