Here's where Israel fucked up with their supporting trump play.
If the whole world has turned their back on the US because of a despotic leader, what makes you(Israel) think they'll continue to support you? You're a MUCH smaller player on the international stage than the fucking US.
You done fucked yourselves.
So?
Different people have different breaking points.
Are you really going to be a fucking hipster about people coming around to Gaza and talk down because they supported an oppressed people later than you did?
Fucks sake dude.
Seriously all the tankie leftists here acting tough is hilarious to me.
Honestly this gets me the most. You have people talking shit like this when they couldn't even be bothered to vote against the Nazi.
Interesting parallel! I'm not super versed on the middle ages/medieval history. I love the concept of learning more about it but for me finding the time to properly do so just isn't there.
I also miss like... college style lectures on those kind of topics. I should just squat some history classes at the universities by me.
Sure, pointing at streets. Your normal not super cheap FPV has a range of like a mile. Even adjacent to an urban center you could find places to launch a drone and send it to do evil shit and not be spotted.
You wouldn't even need something that big, man.
I was in college during GWOT and part of the political science club. We had a 'games theory' session with the DHS rep in our state, where part of the class was reps for the government and part were a terrorist cell.
I was part of the latter, and our goal was 'disrupt the state' and half the people wanted a big 9-11 attack to happen. My suggestion was small teams and car bombs over the course of 3 days along the major highways in the state and intra city traffic would grind to a halt. That was what kept him up at night.
The same thing could be done at an even more effective scale with FPVs hypothetically.
I think that's a bit far fetched. You don't need to have something fly from Tripoli to hit the US, just send operatives here, and have them launch the attacks from the US. You could be a mile away and never get caught, hypothetically speaking.
I still think US doctrine from GW1 applies, simply because drone use is already being implemented into the current chain of command. I have a few friends that are on the RnD side of things and the non classified drone stuff they've talked about to me is exceptionally impressive, and augments current doctrine rather than upending it.
Same. I put in like 3 hours into Breakpoint and I was like 'where's literally all the flavor gone from this game? So glad I waited until it was like a 5 dollar steam sale. Even then I tried to refund it but was past the 'trial' period.
Fuuuucking this.
It's Grand Theft Auto; Special Forces.
I wish they didn't absolutely butcher the sequel. It feels fucking awful compared to Wildlands.
Current US doctrine relies on controlling the skies. Still right now there's no credible threat to US air dominance. If the US has air dominance, drones in their current form are a bug attacking a tractor. Look up videos on how the US air campaign worked during Gulf War 1 and see the sheer number of assets that were on station for months waiting for the order to attack. Any enemy would be utterly exhausted by the time any attack started and the force and speed of violence would keep drones down to local threats.
That's also not counting any drone countermeasures the US currently has and could mass deploy.
I think the US use of expensive drones is just different to what we're seeing in Ukraine. They're fitting into a different space than FPV drones, which isn't bad, it's just different.
The GOP effectively purged almost 5 million votes from the voter rolls.
Look how many votes trump won by.
