Honestly this gets me the most. You have people talking shit like this when they couldn't even be bothered to vote against the Nazi.

Interesting parallel! I'm not super versed on the middle ages/medieval history. I love the concept of learning more about it but for me finding the time to properly do so just isn't there.

I also miss like... college style lectures on those kind of topics. I should just squat some history classes at the universities by me.

Sure, pointing at streets. Your normal not super cheap FPV has a range of like a mile. Even adjacent to an urban center you could find places to launch a drone and send it to do evil shit and not be spotted.

You wouldn't even need something that big, man.

I was in college during GWOT and part of the political science club. We had a 'games theory' session with the DHS rep in our state, where part of the class was reps for the government and part were a terrorist cell.

I was part of the latter, and our goal was 'disrupt the state' and half the people wanted a big 9-11 attack to happen. My suggestion was small teams and car bombs over the course of 3 days along the major highways in the state and intra city traffic would grind to a halt. That was what kept him up at night.

The same thing could be done at an even more effective scale with FPVs hypothetically.

I think that's a bit far fetched. You don't need to have something fly from Tripoli to hit the US, just send operatives here, and have them launch the attacks from the US. You could be a mile away and never get caught, hypothetically speaking.

I still think US doctrine from GW1 applies, simply because drone use is already being implemented into the current chain of command. I have a few friends that are on the RnD side of things and the non classified drone stuff they've talked about to me is exceptionally impressive, and augments current doctrine rather than upending it.

Current US doctrine relies on controlling the skies. Still right now there's no credible threat to US air dominance. If the US has air dominance, drones in their current form are a bug attacking a tractor. Look up videos on how the US air campaign worked during Gulf War 1 and see the sheer number of assets that were on station for months waiting for the order to attack. Any enemy would be utterly exhausted by the time any attack started and the force and speed of violence would keep drones down to local threats.

That's also not counting any drone countermeasures the US currently has and could mass deploy.

I think the US use of expensive drones is just different to what we're seeing in Ukraine. They're fitting into a different space than FPV drones, which isn't bad, it's just different.

This isn't true. Tanks role in doctrine has changed. How the US would fight with drones on the field is completely different than how Ukraine or Russia are fighting.

You realize people want figureheads to look up to and follow, right?

That's why trump is so fucking popular with morons. He talks to them, and tells them SOMETHING that they can get behind.

Yes. And who is on the left saying 'hey you should act this fucking way instead of these douche canoes?'

That's my point.

Soooo screaming loudly on the internet and doing nothing?

No you mistake my point I'm saying that 'the left' doesn't have as many figurehead people online in those spaces to call out the people like Tate and Miller.

This.

None of these leftists have done shit. They just shit talk on the internet, and pretend that sitting out is doing something worthwhile.

They don't want that though, they are turning to fucking news like Steven Miller and Andrew Tate. Because they 'look like them' and those guys are total assholes with perceived power.

This is one are where progressives and liberals have completely failed. There are zero male role models in progressive/leftist politics that aren't women that are easily identifiable.

And when you bring this up in those circles you get talked down to.

I totally see why most average men want to be republicans. That party allows you to be a man (a toxic version of a man, but none the less a man).

Hey all of you guys who stayed home. This is on you.

If you don't vote, your opinion is worthless. You chose to sit out, so why would anyone want to listen to you?

Sure 1 federal judge putting country-wide moratoriums on any executive actions signed by Biden, and a republican congress that stymied every major bill is totally the fault of Biden and the Democrats.

There's this nice little thing called OPSEC and talking about such things just makes you a target.

Oh so a person helps fix a problem they were part of, and for you that's not enough.

God you people are so tiring.

Imagine telling someone you're fine with queer people being killed at home, because you're so entitled that you sat out to defend those people.

Who wanted a ceasefire? Harris.

Who wants to nuke Gaza. Republicans.

You: They're both the same, I'm gonna stand in the corner and not stop the nuking of Gaza.
