Before you get to the point of just cursing at one another you should disengage

Carney ready to promise to double military spending to meet NATO's demands at the same time as the US embarks on a other foreign war of conquest. This would mean approximately doubling the Canadian military budget over 7 or so years

Whats wild is that the cuomo campaign talks about antisemitism fears with zohran but considering the demographics of new York state, cuomo probably literally killed hundreds of Jewish elders during covid through his own actions.

Generally not, no, but when the thread is ripping into the thousands of comments, I dont remove stuff as regularly.

Just a shame the Men of the West never really faced any punishment for their crimes.

I mean their continent city was destroyed in an apocalypse sent by the gods, to the point that the only survivors of their race were a handful of traitors to the numenorean imperial project

Turbine blades are among the most highly engineered and high tech pieces of a plane. Spraying a bunch of paint or whatever in there may damage things, it will require inspection/maintenance, and any disassembly and cleaning could easily damage turbine blades enough to make them not suitable for use. They're very low tolerance pieces.

tanker aircraft like that are used to refuel fighter jets to keep fighter jets in the air for a longer period of time. the fighter flies closer to enemy airspace and then falls back to the tanker when necessary for fuel. tankers are a way to extend the duration of fighter missions. that to me makes them part of an offensive weapons complex.

what I don't know is if tanker jets like that could be used to help move a bunch of fighters further or faster than they'd be able to move otherwise. if the US is evacuating a bunch of planes out of bases in qatar/UAE/other places that are within range of lots of iranian munitions and moving them to diego garcia or something, then would having a bunch of tanker planes in the area help that evacuation go faster or be more efficient? I don't know, I'm asking. if tankers were useful in this context, then they could be useful as a defensive measure and thus wouldn't necessarily point towards a US bombing campaign

I feel like I've been teleported to the early 2000s but with "Iran" replacing "Iraq".

this shit isn't actually rocket science to predict, it follows obvious patterns. I remember hunter S thompson correctly calling the long arc of the next 20 years of the GWOT literally the day after 9/11. he could do that because he paid attention while the invasion of vietnam unfolded.

The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows? Not even the Generals in what remains of the Pentagon or the New York papers calling for WAR seem to know who did it or where to look for them.

This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed -- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won't hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force.
