Mid-air collision

Yes, that’s the intended outcome of firing a rocket.

    Elect a clown, get a circus.

    This is what happens when you put a fucking moron in charge of the military.

    The moron isn't allowed to start a war, as far as the Constitution is concerned.

    Trump is the end result of ignoring the Constitution for many decades, he is what you get. And he's the dumb one

    The constitution has always been ignored if capital deems it expedient

    We had a good run, a solid century or two. In the 70s, the FBI would nail reps for taking bribes (Abscam).

    Now, there's no reason to bribe illegally, we have Super PACs and shell companies for such things, and it's ALL LEGAL, so it's not even "corruption". GOOD JOB

    Ironically the picture in the post is of a notably non-American MiG-29. The rest seems pretty on-point, though.

    Really exposing how the US military isn't the perfect war machine the US thinks it is.

    We perfected building a near peer military with Russia in mind. We build massive fleets of wildly expensive machines and great arsenals of similarly expensive ammunition. We made almost all of that shit overwhelmingly dependent on the supply chain of a flammable, nonrenewable, black fluid easily controllable by the nation we just attacked. One which has taken seriously the new lesson that such militaries are obsolete and top heavy. The way forward lies in small, cheap, autonomous suicide drones, cyber attacks, propaganda, and economic pressure. They're one of the few countries to take that lesson to heart. We have recently decapitated the competence of nearly every powerful system of our nation; political and military, and pushed our economy to the brink. We are led by hyper-overconfident, insecure, malicious idiots supported only by a cult minority of our population.

    Not quite perfect is right. The rest of the world should bind together to pressure us, hard.

    I could go either way on this. Having a bunch of armed people and vehicles running around unfamiliar territory basically guarantees you're gonna have accidents. Heck, people die during training in as controlled an environment as we can manage.

    OTOH, that amount of accidents compared to only a few acknowledged combat losses is a bit suss.

    You can keep a zero loss record if you call it an accident every time.
