No. American and allied troops fought in the Vietnam conflict. Our strategy evolved in the Cold War and proxy wars. A proxy war is fought only with fiscal, humanitarian, and arms support.

For example, we destroyed Afghanistan in the 80's by supporting the mujahideen fighting against the Soviet Union: a proxy war. Unable to communicate what's been done, they resorted to extreme violence in September, 2001. So, we fucked 'em all the war back to 17th century religious persecution.

I'm a born American. I love so much about this country at the roots of the land and people I meet in it. But, it's totally fucking rotten at the top and we refuse to admit it. If we did then we'd have to do something about it. Then, it quickly becomes obvious that voting isn't going to do jack shit. That's scary as fuck.

Don’t forget Vietnam and Korea.

Vietnam and Korea were hot wars. My examples are proxy wars where the locals retiliated with "terrorism".

The US is constantly enmeshed in wars, but when was the last time Americans actually won one? 1945?

We're achieving our goals in Ukraine right now, as we did in all my examples above. The last time we lost was Vietnam, unless we're also counting failed coup attempts (2020).

No we ask how is he still alive. At that range if they meant to kill him he should be dead.

No. And, I'm disappointed so many blindly believed.

The initial information was 200-300 yards. A good shooter with range ammo (medium quality) and a decent rifle will shoot about 2 MOA or "minutes of angle" accuracy. A better shooter with better ammo and rifle will shoot about 1.5 MOA.

The math conveniently works out such that 1 MOA is 1 inch at 100 yards. At 1 MOA and 100 yards range, the distance from the furthest spaced rounds in a small number of rounds will be 1 inch.

At 300 yards 1.5 MOA is 4.5 inches. At 200 yards it's 3 inches. At 300 it'd take three shots to be sure. At 200 it's a likely one shot kill.

The news of 200-300 yards was intentional uncertainty. We sheep aren't to know the actual risk to Trump's life.

This time it's different.

I understand where you're coming from. I think you're naive.

If we wanted the war to be won then we'd have already settled it with superior airpower and munitions. Instead, we offer limited assistance and imposed Vietnam-style geographic rules.

That was the moron wing of US foreign policy.

So, the reason the program has been so successful for decades is because it's being run by morons?

That's how you're backing your assertion of "vatnik propaganda"?

Wow. Good luck with that nonsense.

It's an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.

Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:

payday

groceries.exe

steak on sale

dinner.exe

It's being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the "It's dangerous to go alone..." meme.

But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.

I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.

The US is the only NATO ally to maintain a bomber fleet. The role of the modern bomber is to deliver guided munitions and an air-launched nuclear deterrent.

Due to many deployments and the cost of repair and maintenance, the B-1 has been retired. There are roughly 20 B-2 Spirit's in the fleet capable of delivering guided munitions. The B-52 Stratofortress can deliver guided munitions and is a platform for the Air-Launched Cruise Missile nuclear deterrent, to be replaced by the LRSO system in a few years. The B-21 Raider is expected to enter service around 2027 but much of capability and intent is classified.

While the last B-52 was manufactured in 1962 and the existing 72 airframes are expected to serve as at least the air-launched nuclear deterrent (LRSO) platform of the bomber fleet into perhaps the 2050's, everything important has been redesigned and replaced: engines, nacelles, fire and launch control, and fuel system. It's as if one gutted and remodeled a house, including replacing the exterior, some parts several times. The latest variant focuses on new engines, expected in a few years.

TL;DR Colonizers gonna' colonize. And, knowing is half the battle. G.I. Jooooooe!

After Trump publicly supported a Venezuelan coup in 2019, in 2020 Silvercorp, a US corporation, sent 60 soldiers to effect the coup. Elon tweeted "We coup who we want," because he's socially inept and his various business interests would benefit immensely from stolen lithium. The coup failed.

Maduro may be a villain. But, arresting colonizers isn't why.
