What's your favorite flavor of boot? You seem to like those a lot.

The video you've attached is pretty good at explaining it overall. The MAWS/DAS of the F-35 that was hit seems to have not detected the missile.

The discussion of the fact Iran may be using a solution that is a hybrid of a loitering munition and SAM is really interesting, because of the novelty and cleverness of such an innovation, as well as one of the biggest benefits I see is that Iran can put these into the sky while concealing or moving the launchers immediately afterward.

Wild conclusion that I'm ignorant of the rightward shift just because I said Bush doesn't sound like a lefty. Doesn't help your case that he never was one in the first place.

How about trying to actually answer the question posed instead of further projection?

Every single one of them participate in or abet the acts of aggression, crimes, and atrocities carried out across the many conflicts the U.S. is participating and has participated in. As has been pointed out, they help facilitate the killing of civilians, many of which are impoverished.

The fact they're joining for the benefits does not excuse them in any way.

The very last part of your last sentence is a confession.

At last we see the ghoul's true colors.

[-] 9skyguy0@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago

Really then?

Why don't we check in with the dead Afghani and Iraqi civilians killed before and during US occupation?

Why don't we check in with Serbia, still dealing with depleted uranium from US weapons?

Why don't we check in with Vietnam, still dealing with Agent Orange and other fallout in the aftermath of their liberation after all this time?

How about over in Korea, where the US dropped more bombs there than during WW2?

Why don't we see how things have fared in The Philippines after the US placed them under new management after seizing them from Spain in a war of aggression?

There are plenty more examples in the gaps between and further back in time. The only ghoul here is you.

Does the religious fervor that arose in the U.S. military when the Iran conflict began mean nothing to you?

Let's not forget Smedley Butler's conclusions on war the U.S. has waged as well. And then, the numerous war crimes that have gone unpunished. U.S. soldiers volunteered fully willingly and have committed them.

And then, evidently the bombing of boats in the Caribbean and the bombing of civilians in Iran means nothing to you either, those were carried out under orders that they did not question.

And the only way we saw this can be achieved for countries that border Russia is join the EU or NATO. Poland is now free, Czechia is now free, Romania is now free, Slovakia is now free, the Baltic states are now free, Hungary is now free (but we need to wait for next election to know if this will remain true).

They're free alright, freely exploited by Western-backed capitalists and now are vassals.

You continue to demonstrate how you've fallen for imperialist propaganda. As has been explained above, the Donbas and its people have been under attack by the Ukrainian government and the AFU for more than a decade now. You are ignoring hard evidence of what really has happened since 2014. The notion that the fighting in the Donbas is only the result of Russian support is a delusion, and you seem also oblivious (likely willfully so) to the fact the Ukrainian government is openly fascist.

The solution for Ukraine that serves its populace the most is peace, sovereignty, and the right to determine their own future, which NATO and EU membership will not give them.

What would you characterize as authoritarian/authoritarianism?

Thankfully the warhead of whatever was fired wasn't bigger. That was indeed very close and that only could have happened if it was intentional.
