  • This kind of circular bullshit is exactly what makes modern day America pathetic.

    There used to be a can-do attitude here in this country. People would look at a problem and go 'okay lets fucking fix it' and then we would (or at least fucking try). Now, way too many fucking people just want to sit and bitch about problems and something not being perfect, and refuse to do anything to fix said problems. This can't-do attitude bullshit is fucking infuriating.

  • People don't care because crypto is literally a made up thing.

    Sure, people make money off of it. But people make money off loads of things. That doesn't change that it's literally a made up currency that has tons of people scamming the shit out of people for a quick buck.

  • Exactly. This is a massive strike that we fully won't know the repercussions of for a little bit. We'll just have to see how their optempo changes. It honestly could be even worse for them. They have 120 of those bombers, period. Meaning some of them might not even be air worthy at all and are just spare parts.

  • You get it, brother.

    This actually has huge implications for the war in general. Russias nuclear triad just had the dick blown off of it,

    I'd be willing to wager that this was most, if not all the active bombers being used in the Ukrainian theatre. If they are following a loose rule of 3rds with their birds (deployed and flying missions, being prepped for deployment, shut down receiving repairs/overhauls), this very well could severely limit Russia's ability to keep up their cruise missile bombardment.

    If that's the case, that frees up Ukraine to be much more flexible with their air defenses.

    Not to mention if they were able to pull off a mission like this, allegedly using cell towers to fly their drones, what's stopping them from doing similar limited missions to tank factories, recruit depots, and other places that are further away from the front? Literally all of these targets now become viable because they will be much less heavily guarded than the nuclear triad bombers.

    Protecting those assets pulls material and meat from the front lines, which further helps Ukraine.

    I can't help but see this as a massive positive swing in momentum for Ukraine.

  • If a Republican crippled a historic enemies military without a single soldier dying and did so using a fraction of the US military budget they would put him on Mt. Rushmore, but since Biden did it they, and the entire media apparatus, called him a bumbling fool and senile.

    Just like how Reagan gets credit for 'ending the Cold War' when a ton of the legwork for that was put in place by Kennedy, Eisenhower, (yes Nixon too), and LBJ and Carter.

    Biden has flaws, and I wish Biden really did more to help Ukraine in the beginning of the war, but him helping out and clearing so much equipment to them was a genuinely good thing that he did while in office.
