Have to assume that, like with everything US, it’s all projection, because they’re only keeping a few thousand missiles due to the insane costs extorted by the MIC

TW: graphic human remains

Alleged photo of skull found inside one of the destroyed C-130s

US definitely not telling the full story on this CSAR mission

Apologies all for the misinformation

I think what they mean is that they don’t want the Iranians to get info on the various instruments / capabilities the planes are equipped with. But agree it seems unlikely that they blew them up themselves

Nevermind, seeing reports that they’re all out now ):

Why would they be deemed rescued but still not exfiltrated? Are they unable to fly out for some reason? Does that imply the exfiltration team is stuck as well?

Hegseth literally sees himself as a crusader I think he’s mentioned it before

There has been a big media push in Iran asking locals to capture the pilot, so we’re probably more likely to see that than a lynching

I certainly agree but I think Putin is a pragmatist (and a lib at heart) and he’d be down to extract concessions and normalise. European history is full of this kind of push and pull, they’ve all been alternating mortal enemy and best bud status with each other for centuries. I think we’ll start to see a generation of European leaders who aren’t as fully bought into US imperialism and will get back on the “Russians are Europeans not Asians” train. And tbh I could see the Russian oligarchy falling for it again so they can go back to enjoying their yachts and Harrods and Louis Vuitton luggage set lifestyle

They can and will reopen relations with Russia when it becomes clear they need to. They’ve had centuries of practice at this

I was checking out r/military yesterday and lots of people were dooming about Americans not being ready for drone footage of American soldiers getting popped. The reality is starting to set in

The UK technically has “operational independence” on the Trident nukes, but in reality the missiles (if not the warheads) are American and they need to go back to America for maintenance regularly, so the US could force the UK into a “use it or lose it” situation by threatening to cut off the maintenance, I guess. It wouldn’t be easy though. Making the Zionist entity do it instead is more viable but then they’re essentially sacrificing the entirety of their colonial outpost in the ME to do it. It seems unlikely it would get that far. Probably more likely that they’ll try to trigger a Chernobyl situation by attacking nuclear power plants

Yeah same. It’s the most infuriatingly milquetoast Canadian “compromise” ever. Right up there with “you can advertise medicines but not say what they do in the advert”. Deeply unserious country

What too many bin langs do to a man

Every time I’ve heard it described to me (haven’t read it), it seems to mostly boil down to “we recognise the problems with the current capitalism but the way to solve it is to give the good capitalists free rein to do whatever they want”, or “if we simply did x instead of y things would be better” without any explanation as to how the political will in a system which was set up for and has only ever managed to enable y, can be found to do x

China has been sending rice and solar panels iirc

I was invited to a “No Kings” protest except it was in Canada so they called it “No Tyrants” because we have a king…… lmao

I will never tire of the joy of reading about the humiliation of the “first world”

I genuinely thought that clip had to be AI because it was so nonsensical

Truly one of the sentences of all time
