    Half of this stuff I learned from meme communities, and another quarter I learned just now from this image!

    We’ll be at war with the middle east until the day making money from arms manufacturing is outlawed

    Looks like Israel is already invading Lebanon.

    You gotta keep up… Make sure you can edit your memes quickly, otherwise they’ll be out of date by the time you finish.

    How likely is it that Kuwait was the one that shot 3 US planes out of the sky?

    Can we trust anything this government says?

      You can trust them to fuck up. And when you fuck up and fail to communicate with your allies, those are the expected results.

      Both Ukraine and Russia have had problems with their own anti-air targeting their own assets. It’s not implausible that it might happen in the relative chaos that has been unleashed this past week between separate countries.

      I’m not sure which is more embarrassing, getting shot by a Patriot battery or Iranian AA. It’s not a good look any way you cut it. And with the preponderance of video it’d be really easy to determine where the AA shot from. So you’ve if you’re going to lie it should be easy to disprove, and for little gain.

      This admin isn’t to be trusted, but this is one story that I’m more willing to take at face value. Why schools and hospitals are getting targeted and how they’re going to explain that is something I’d be slower to accept.

      Kuwait would probably be objecting to the report if it wasn’t them, tbqh.

      Can we trust anything this government says?

      Not particularly. But I don’t know that “We’re so incompetent that we failed to coordinate with our own allies in this slapdash attempt at regime change that we’ve literally lost expensive multirole jets to friendly fire” is all that much better than “We lost expensive multirole jets to enemy action”
