Bush

Yes, that is what I was referencing

When everyone was focused on a Raptor production restart, they snuck new B-2 in.

This is a gaffe/misquote but this would’ve been a great idea about 10-15 years ago.

Trump’s a massive unreliable narrator who’ll make up military stories to rile up his base.

I really doubt that ever happened.

Trump is the biggest unreliable narrator on military stories. I’d bet the farm none of that happened.

What have you heard? That’s uncharacteristic for him, and any officer of his billet even before he retired.

The dream of true Cuban-Canadian unity is dead

Am I worried? Shaking in my boots? No. We’ve been flying our own advanced systems (and have acknowledged it as such) for a few years now.

We have incredibly sharp minds working on our equivalent capabilities. But this should remind the dear open-source viewer that the adversary is competent too.

To quote my good friend the_engi_nerd on the other website-

The Chinese military-industrial complex is competent and should be respected as such. This should be seen as a legitimate threat we will have to address in the future.

For posterities sake, and to say I got to chime in on this-

China’s jet prototype reveal is a shot across the bow. A lot like the J-20 13 hears ago.

We know they’re good at building jets, and this is just a prototype. It’s big, it seems stealthy, and has a very large internal weapons bay.

Merry Christmas to all of y’all…

Pray for the bro’s at SOUTHCOM who have become important in the worst way imaginable

Sure, let’s invade one of the most staunchly pro-US countries in Latin America for access to a canal we have literally never had any issues accessing.

Personally I’m drinking for the poor souls running SOUTHCOM

Welcome back 1989

Careful Michael, the island might tip over and capsize.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it’s probably a write-off.

Friendly air defense taking you out is a serious concern from both land and naval based systems. Humans aren’t perfect, and when you throw them into decisions like this (such as constant harassment of shipping from cruise missiles), mistakes will happen. You just hope it doesn’t cost allies lives.

First off, praise God both aircrew got off of the jet safely. That should be everyone’s first reaction here.

Second, there’s going to be a very thorough investigation that’s going to result in a LOT of firings.

Land Grant schools are massive net positives and I won’t stand by their slander.

Tech’s a meme but also picking UH over Tech? Bizarre playcall.

RIP Big Sexy. Taken from us far too soon.

A whole lot of diplomacy. Very fun country, highly recommend.

Congrats! It’s a great career to get into, if you’re willing to dedicate the time.

The Diamond is also a fantastic little airplane.

I’m gonna get AFPC to begin writing Air Medal citations for all the Guard bubba’s flying into the eastern seaboard

“Imagine showing a medieval peasant an airpla-“ No you cretin, I can, it’s called showing cockpit iPhone footage to a pedestrian in Atlantic City.

Look… the Average American believes inflation is tied to foreign aid and reducing government spending wards off recession.

Not being able to identify airplanes at altitude as anything other than the grey men or dragons of yore is NOT surprising.

PS they see everything

Real ones just don’t have an attention span long enough for most podcasts.

You can be a LITTLE fearful of all the murder

Russiaphobia is such a strange term. One, it's hatred not fear, two, a phobia is irrational and excessive. The evidence says it's rational and measured to feel this way about Russia and, unfortunately, the hegemonic culture of modern Russia!

I’m so ready for 60s style “what if everyone had a nuclear program”.
