and they could if they wanted to, which is the point

you're currently requesting a noncredibledefense addict justify defense policy and acting as if that's not something they'd want to do with their free time

the us took part in the no-fly zone, and the f22 is better than the rafale or eurofighter

you can't refuse them munitions

what a reach

lmfao

because they aren't enforcing a no fly zone

type this into google: "korean war"

also, absolutely delicious that you just ignored the other two bullet points

you aren't very good at this

edit for the edit:

i don't think you know what the berlin airlift was

[–] whenyellowstonehasitsday@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago (16 children)

anything within 1500 miles of an f22 can be considered us-controlled airspace, yes

bombing is part of the problem, yes

as far as trolling attempts go, this is a lazy one

  • allow the un to take action
  • stop feeding arms into the "make gaza stop existing" campaign
  • berlin air lift style relief effort

me irl but ich im echten leben

for the record, i hate that you are making me defend the tankies

  • us navy went in to protect shipping
  • the shipping was not protected
  • us navy left

what definition of "winning" are you using

The Houthis wouldn't be firing Iranian anti-ship missiles if Iranian munitions factories were bombed, but the USA chooses not to do that.

big "the us didn't really lose vietnam" cope energy

exploiting political reality is a valid military strategy

IMO treating any attack by Iranian-made missiles as if it were launched by Iran would be a reasonable policy

this stance would be an insane own-goal given what's going on in ukraine

I read the article and that headline is clickbait as fuck.

it's clickbait in the same way that vietnam defeated the us in that war they had that one time

probably the purpose of the us navy above all else is to protect shipping. like yes they're set up to fight other navies and project power, but at the end of the day, that's all so that nobody can fuck with the country's logistics.

and even given how much money gets shoveled into it, it completely failed to do so against a group of fighters with a shoestring budget.

all it takes is a handful of persistent mosquitoes to ruin the whole thing and have the entire party pick up their gear

when i go to a picnic i don't normally bring my billion-dollar mosquito killing machine, and when i do, i expect it to protect me

extra time means time for an extra morning pint
