Definitely way more lethal than the little golf carts the US Army is fielding.

"Never again" enabling actual genocide

The 2025 UK Strategic Defence Review isn't bad....per se. It's a document for the time; NATO first, less reliance on the US, modernization and AI. It's fine. Still better than any strategic document we ever write.

These guys went on a flight, where everyone had already gone through security, dressed like they're rolling out on patrol in Fallujah. American law enforcement is an embarrassment and a joke.

It's a fucking clown show and people are going to die

Just a quick reminder for no apparent reason whatsoever apnews.com/article/pent...

Maybe the actual escalation was the Russians continuing to attack civilians. Everything else is a Ukrainian response.

Overhead imagery from commercial satellites means the Russians can't hide the fact that they just lost a yuge portion of their nuclear triad.

Kind of disturbing hearing the Brits parrot Trump's national defense "policy" word for word.

Russian strategic bombers, go fuck yourselves

This is the point. Ukraine wins and the whole world is safer. Russia wins and the world gets much more dangerous. Chose your outcome.

If you aren't raising a glass to the Ukrainians for destroying a huge chunk of Russia's strategic nuclear bomber force, then we know what side you're on.

Very glad that Dan "Signalgate" Caldwell is as far away from the Pentagon, and his SECDEF buddy, as possible now. Slava Ukraini.

This will go down as one of the most strategically successful operations in military history. Definitely overtakes Pearl Harbor imo. Just brilliantly planned and executed.

When I was a member of the Tea Party I was told that Obama was going to do this and that we needed to buy all the guns to defend our sovereignty against a tyrannical federal government.

Each branch of government cannot just willy nilly look at the Constitution and interpret it their own way. There is one Constitution and it's pretty fucking clear. Russ is a fucking chaos monster.

Seeing video of dozens of burning Soviet....er, Russian strategic bombers burning on the tarmac makes my Cold War heart warm.

I mean that BDA looks pretty conclusive. Scratch a shitload of Russian bombers.

Strategic surprise is a bitch, huh Vlad?

You lost how many aircraft?

Trying to think of what it would be like if we lost 40 B-52s from a drone attack and whoo boy

From a strategic perspective this is devastating to Russia. Not only devastating to their bomber fleet but to their morale and public face. Well done, Ukraine.

Good night engine Good night medic Good night rescue Good night ambo

Hosting community parties at our fire station rental hall means we get to share in some AMAZING food.

Cowards do this

This is a nice restaurant in an affluent white neighborhood. They threw flash bangs at the crowd, handcuffed the manager, didn’t even find anyone they were looking for, but still took two people because they didn’t have ID.

The government is using militarized law enforcement to illegally detain and kidnap civilians. Where are the "patriotic" militias and their ARs? Why aren't they standing up to literal tyranny?

These cowards have been waiting for decades to dress up like they're an Army ODA and terrorize the people they're sworn to "protect and serve." Fuck every single one of them.

Not sure what those patches are all about, but these dudes are acting like they're storming some ISIS-K hideout in Syria. And that's a fucking grenade launcher.

American law enforcement dressed up like it's peak GWOT rolling into steal people away and then attacking innocent bystanders is absolutely authoritarian Fascism.

This is just more proof we live in the movie Idiocracy

I get them beds and blankets and this is where they hang out

I am AGAIN flabbergasted that Army senior leadership is just going along with this blatant hateful bullshit. How this is living the Army Values I have no idea. What a disgrace.

RIP Hot Lips

"Light is not lethal" Amen and amen.

Forearm + rolled up dress shirt = 100% porn

We've blown straight past chaos and slammed directly into pandemonium.

What fictional TV character do you model yourself after? I'll start.
