So we can blame you specifically for making the US army a lopsided lolcow that specializes in force projection that it can't project because all the "cool toys" are too expensive to actually use?
Seriously anyone who refers to weapons as "cool toys" instead of "tools" is, ironically, a giant tool. The type of douche who thinks he's a leet haxxor for knowing about SQL injection attacks.
That's just magical thinking and stupid talk.
The whole point of massive integrated air defense systems is that you cannot take them out easily from the air and the USA absolutely doesn't have any other methods besides attacking by air.
Your only real method is to oversaturate the air around a specific region so that something gets through to hit the nodes of the system.
That is exactly what Russia is doing by using literally thousands of cheapo drones originally designed in Iran. Also the same tactic used by the Houthis and Hamas.
Get what the USA army has zero of? Cheap shit that flies that can be used to saturate AA systems.
Every single weapon made in the USA is designed to be complex and as expensive as possible, because this sells for the big bucks.
It's not just that.
No army is equipped to fight a land war in today's world. China could potentially mobilize enough industry to equip an army that way, but they don't really have anyone to fight that way.
Other than that, every single modern war depends on air superiority as an absolute requirement. You destroy the enemy before any of your guys are on the ground.
But you absolutely cannot do that against modern integrated air defense without losing a sizeable portion of your planes and pilots, which are too expensive to risk.
More like the mega steroid users long after they stopped using steroids. The army today is nothing like what it was during the Gulf War. And it was a coalition of like 6-7 countries, all of which are either no longer friendly towards the USA or have armies that are now completely pathetic.
The US makes like 20 tanks a year, and they aren't new tanks. They're refurbished shit from years ago. The US couldn't field 1000 of them, much less multiple thousands.
And this is exactly the case across every single military system except the space satellite and drone stuff.
And Iraq wasn't occupied during the Gulf War, despite there being like a million guys involved in the conflict. Most of the damage was done by a massive bombing campaign due to supreme air superiority.
Air superiority that wouldn't exist today against Russia in any shape or form. Not only because the planes no longer exist to achieve this (you have 1/2 as many bombers as there were in the early 90s), but because Russia has one of the best integrated air defense systems in the world. Literally only 4-5 countries in the entire world have systems like this.
If you can't use bombers (of which you have like 100 to begin with), you need to use men (which no longer want to enlist so you don't have enough), or tanks (which you don't have in sufficient battle-ready numbers) with artillery (which is wildly depleted after all the shells were given to Ukraine).
The only thing that would work is tactical nukes, but good luck there considering Russia has better and newer nuclear everything.
Seriously, this is such bullshit it's beyond belief.
The US doesn't have the logistics to occupy Crimea, let alone win anything against a +- peer opponent.
You literally need about 100x of everything to fight a land war similar to WWII. No body has that much of anything, and only China could potentially make enough war materiel, but they wouldn't have the logistics to fight anyone except Russia.
Fear controls people way better. Fear+money is best.
Just about every single politician has some sort of degenerate and/or illegal sexual blackmail on them (everyone except Trump, apparently). This is because when our sexual morality went down the shitter, everyone started doing everyone in all sorts of degenerate ways. ESPECIALLY the rich and powerful who are encouraged towards these acts by people like Epstein.
And the intelligence orgs monitor all of this. Every politician is on file. Step out of line and suddenly everyone will know you're diddling kids or sucking off ten black guys or eating the live beating hearts of young girls or whatever sick shit they get up to.
Closed fuel cycle reactors solve all the issues with nuclear and even uranium waste.
You put your waste fuel rods plus some depleted uranium in a fast neutron reactor and more new fuel is created than is spent by the reactor.
You know who already has a production fast neutron sodium reactor and facilities to process the mixed fuel to create more fuel? Russia. The only country in the world to have one. They are also building an even newer test reactor using molten lead instead of sodium cause it would be way safer (molten sodium is a bitch to work with without it lighting on fire).
And India is working on a similar idea, but using Thorium (cause India has the world's largest Thorium reserves). China as well.
Everyone is at least a decade ahead on this new generation of reactors. The actual and only viable new energy revolution.
It's not quite fake news according to what I've seen on telegram.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants got Russian citizenship, a lot of them fraudulently apparently, through programs that help people living in former soviet republics get citizenship.
If you become a citizen apparently you have to sign up for the draft or possible compulsory military service but no one does that.
So the police round em up, fine them for draft dodging, bring them to sign up. But I don't know if anyone is actually drafted at that point.
Because the US is basically genociding Ukraine to get at Russia.
They had an easy peace deal for ages, on very good terms (basically amounts to "no US army bases in Ukraine") but the US and EU were like "nah, man, those guys can't tell you what to do, fuck em, we've got your back whatever happens".
So they started a fight they could never win thinking that they'll actually have full support, but obviously they don't. No one is actually going to fight for Ukraine except some retards from Reddit.
So no like half a million of them are dead and more will die.
They'll hate the US stronger than ISIS
Ukraine was and remains the hub of everything corrupt and illegal in Europe. Maybe the world. There is a reason every corrupt politician is so personally involved with protecting it.
Anyway, too much noticing. Russian intervention was totally unprovoked and Ukraine was a threat to nobody. Carry on, citizen.
Short of winning the current slow-burn WWIII going on at the moment, the only way we have of saving ourselves from our bad fiscal decisions is to have all the boomers suddenly die.
How do you kill the boomers without everyone getting pissed off that their loved ones are dead?
This was one attempt.
More than that, probably
It takes years and years to go from a working POC to an actual production design
We don't have a working prototype
