The PLA is preparing for this vision of future combat. Why aren't we? By The Editorial Board

Shut up, nerd

It just drives me fucking bonkers people/organizations have this idea there was some mythical American golden age sometime between 1940-1970 where high-quality weapons were produced rapidly, cheaply, and without bureaucratic friction

An NFO made this post

These dudes just consistently pretend IADS no real. I remember ages ago on tumblr one of these types of guy was arguing that you could helo in SOF to destroy air defenses so the A-10 could fly and that’s cool and all, now you’re just feeding aircraft to the enemy.

It's really funny we're having this kind of insane arguments about the F-35 when we uh just a major regional conflict where the F-35I did, in fact, deliver

99% of the time, anyone telling you that drones will replace traditional ground and air fires has a directly fiduciary interest in that outcome and there ain’t more to it than that

Demonic

I’ve had better looking food at a hole in the wall in Harlingen

The idea of America will outlive any vulgar nationalism that attempts to restrict what it means to be a real American. It always has.

Yeah I back my data up to the cloud (several thousand strong murmuration of starlings)

Someone’s gonna put classified material into chatgpt, I just know it. It’s probably already happening.

My name is Glonzo. Glonzo is my name. That is the only name you’ll hear. I am the one who walks behind you. I am the footsteps at your back. I am the man beside you. Look out! I am all around you. Glonzo! I am the end and the death.

Erebus, First Chaplain of the Word Bearers legion, announces endorsement of Cuomo

Come here swear an oath, reaffirm your oath a year or two later in good standing and get citizenship. Simple. Easy. Not eight billion forms and a second job worth of time spent on them in a Kafka esque nightmare

Cannot WAIT to live in a conex box for six months here

Fascists have long tried to equivocate on WWII. David Irving tried this same tactic. Minimize the Holocaust and maximize German suffering. It's an attempt to sneakily bring fascism back into the mainstream by making it look no worse than anything else. Reject this fully.

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

Is he just not aware of how technical air and sea warfare already is or what

If they couldn’t make it in Norfolk they won’t do any better in Texas lmao

Ibram Gaunt is canonically a deadbeat dad

Free handing Lamenter livery is far harder than assembling any electronic

Aside from Severance, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talk about the other excellent Apple show For All Mankind. They really just don’t advertise!

Dawg look at my CCA entrant CEO, we’re gonna lose to China

I’m commissioning XCOM 3 and a sequel to World in Conflict

"There is hope for a people when their laws are righteous, whether for the moment they conform to their requirements or not" -- Fredrick Douglass My view of America is to fight to make it to live up to its ideals, not to abandon those ideals to savvy cynicism

I don’t think people should be industrial serfs, actually

Guys who think 15 minute cities are an NWO plot but support 40k hive cities

When the Nazis tried the same thing with submarines at Speer’s urging the hull sections didn’t fit lol.

Oh hey this reminds me of that episode of Stargate with an alternate Daniel who had a constellation of killsats that he and only he had operational control over. Nothing happened, it was all fine, I didn’t finish the episode.

Throw a nickel on the grass

They got the NEET wizard from konosuba to just magic things into existence for them

Yarvin played MGS4 and missed the point I guess

There’s a novel I can’t recall the name of (maybe by Gert Ledig) that has a Nazi soldier handing out Iron Crosses to everyone because the city they’re defending is burning to the ground and the medals, made of cheap tin in huge numbers, mean nothing.

Helldivers 2 force structure

They must’ve busted a VX smuggling ring lol

they look at russia — a stagnant backwater — with envy

Is no one going to mention the DPRK flag for Norway

Every carrier has Starlink now. Those things ought to be thrown overboard at the first hint of a fight with China. Who knows what vulnerabilities that system has given Elon’s ties?
