Somewhere in the Pentagon there surely must be a series of rooms isolated for this war. In them intelligence is gathered, counterparts in Ukraine can be in instant contact, resources from both armies are tracked, tactics are formulated, simulations are run. How do I know this? Because this would be too good of a learning opportunity to pass up.

And those folks ain't talking.

For sure. Thinking of this war as a giant test ground for defense industry ghouls to experiment on is horrifying

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 7 points 10 months ago

The US has had its weapons used in conflicts for years. Yes, they do what they're supposed to do. Not much to learn, really.

[-] Chapo_is_Red@hexbear.net 39 points 10 months ago

Then why do you think they're gathering intel? Surely the situation is very different in Ukraine. A weapon system is context dependent, it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Intel is a tool which the US has high capability and it takes many forms. I am sure we share this intel with the Ukrainians

Who is this we? And why are you so sure? I'm not saying you are some guy working for the government I'm just saying you are making shit up and read too much of OSINT twitter so you feel 'in the know'. You don't know what intel is being gathered, if that intel even gets out or not. Like why should the US feel compelled to share with Ukraine? Because they are on the same side? From the few statements they seem more interested in using the war to pay off the MIC similar to Afghanistan and it doesn't seem like any intel was gained over a 20 year period.

I am sure because it is publicly reported that we (the US) does share intelligence with Ukraine. Hope that helps

"we (the US)"

Imagine identifying with the US imperialist world order. They aren't going to let you wear the boot, no matter how hard you lick

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 0 points 10 months ago

Is there anything more imperialist than invading another country?

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

Yes. The global order of monopolistic capitalist extraction and exploitation of the global south

Inavasion does not equal imperialism

[-] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

You'll be sad to hear that the US has in fact invaded other countries before

we (the US)

Lol that's not how this works. Saying "We share intelligence" is worlds apart from what you want to imply here, again stop being some weird wannabe OSINT guy, at most Ukranians get satellite images which technically is 'sharing intelligence' but not what you are trying to imply here.
