Representative Tom Emmer on the Somalian fraud occurring in Minnesota:

"Go home, send them back. We're tired of people coming to this country and taking advantage of the generosity of Americans. If you came to this country to be a thief, to be a criminal, you should not stay here. You should go back to where you came from."

"Somalophobic' LOL.

Well, what do you expect when our soldiers presumably have limited access to the Internet, can't relax in their own homes, and remain isolated from loved ones like significant others and family members for the sake of professionalism? We all need outlets to vent. 😳

It's like Ray said in Generation Kill:

"We're America's Pitbull. They beat us, starve us, and occasionally let us out to bite someone".

It's also why Marines get shorted on supplies. It makes them angry and eager to kill people.

If anything, I'd imagine China would be LESS motivated to invade Taiwan now. We just completely stomped the Maduro regime in a matter of hours without a single casualty on our side, minimal Venezuelan casualties, and achieved the goal of capturing the dictator.

In terms of non-peer conflicts, the US is unmatched. However.
The Chinese are able to produce "midcap tech" in absurd numbers and have been trying to copy our doctrine (in every way imaginable) for a while now.
Again, this is why the concentrated firepower of something like the absurd "Trump Class" would actually prove very useful, because you need systems which are able to efficiently exploit a much smaller tech and doctrine advantage against numerous opponents.

That being said, China is much less stable than it appears (or, rather, likes to appear) from the outside. If the CIA kidnapped Xi we would probably be in a "5 Chinas" situation for the forseeable future.

BREAKING:

Hawaiian traffic court judge rules Maduro must be retuned to Venezuela!!!

The legal reasoning used: capturing Maduro is US imperialism, and so therefore it’s bad.

Those types of judges always give the weirdest reasoning, as they base it on what sounds good rather than any legal precedent (which is what I think any judge worth their salt should be using instead)

this is good, but not exceptionally high for a quad, their cheaper 600 dollar line (the air, I believe?) from 2018 could do 40-50
Also DJIs are software locked and generally shite

for military purposes its not about having the best stats, thats where my "good enough" line came from

its the SOFTWARE, the fact ANYONE can pick this up and learn how to fly in no time is awe inspiring

its the fact you can standardize a single type across a whole division or even army group. this makes replacement parts easier, maintenance easier hell training and logistics easier.

you know what Heinz Guderian said about american tanks right?

"German tanks are so superior to American ones in every regard that a single German tank can beat 10 American ones, the problem is those bastards always bring 11"

If your a marine commander with 1,200 men trying to hold an island and as the resupply officer you could send him 10 Abrams and their crews or 20,000 FPV units what you think he is going to want?
 
Catch The Rainbow powiedział(a):
Seeing "right wing" people cry about muh international law on X has been sending me, I can't stop laughing.

also seeing people cope about how the US planes got past S300s with no issue:

"they must have made a deal"

The US controls probably one of the only competent militaries in the world. They develop and learn from allies. S300 is nothing to them.

The S-300 is also fucking OLD. First entered service in 1978. It has been succeeded by the S-400 and the S-500. It is easily jammed by US Growlers

you can encrypt a channel so others cant UNDERSTAND whats being said but you cant stop them from listening of they know the frequency, this is the whole conceit of encryption, making data unrecognizable to someone looking or listing right at it.

you spent an entire post going on about how easy it is to run an off the shelf DJI drone (that isn't FPV but let's ignore that)

then another post talking about how fiber optics are going to get past EW without realizing that:

1. DJI doesn't natively support fiber optics
2. 10 KM of fiber optics weighs 5 lbs about which is too heavy for those drones
 
it seems americans, both the left and right, have been under such incompetent executive authority and handling of conflicts for so long
that when a military op is quick, bloodless, and effective it breaks our brains because we have been conditioned (or traumatized) by 40 years
of retard-led military adventurism to expect pointless, drawn out, and dumb conflicts.

turns out you can just do things.
