i like that you specifically cited the two world wars and vietnam as examples of where logistics didn't matter, then fell back to "well, many non-land wars exist"

NON-land wars are even more an expression of logistics, because navies can't function without logistics, and air forces extremely very definitely can't function without logistics

my guy, the us can't house all its people, this is a non-argument for the position you're taking

maybe try responding to what's in the comment rather than what you want to be in the comment?

the un still has the power to deploy ground troops to a situation like the israel-gaza genocide, and the only thing stopping that from happening in the us veto

yes the f22 is notable because it's supersonic, not for any other reason, you definitely know what you're talking about

Britain makes one of the most capable air-air tracking systems in the world

britain regularly engages in friendly war games with the us, and regularly loses the very minute the f22 stops taking handicaps, what is your point?

the british made starstreak is probably one of the best manpads out there, and against an f22 it may as well be a piss-filled water balloon, because f22s don't fly low enough for manpads to be effective

the iron dome isn't even the theoretical israeli system that would intercept an f22. that would be david's sling, and i seriously doubt that raytheon, the american company contracted to create it, would be legally permitted to outsource a system that could shoot down the us's best plane

i provided 3 better solutions, and you limp-wristedly whined about how other countries in europe exist

think you confused yourself

the question wasn't "what can protesting do to make it stop"

it was "offer a solution to make it stop"

roblox-tier argument

none of those countries make a weapon system capable of shooting down an f22

edit because this slipped by me the first time, but "air capable weapons" is an absolutely hilarious phrase

what the fuck do you mean "air capable weapons"? weapons that are capable of firing upwards? is a ww2-era flak cannon an "air capable weapon"? is a shepherd's sling an "air capable weapon" because you can fire it upwards if you try? absolute clown show with you this is great

Again, you're just arguing and not being helpful here

"excuse me you aren't agreeing with me please could you stop arguing with me and start being helpful"

i hope you're drunk or something because this makes no sense

the two world wars were incredibly famously about logistics

the us spent literally billions of dollars attempting to stymie viet minh logistics, and failed to do so

just as a quick question, what in the actual fuck are you talking about? thanks

you thinking that a country like ukraine would willingly sell arms to israel in a scenario where the us publicly disowned said country is very cute

"oh don't go back THAT far, it makes us look bad"

yes this makes sense

just to remind you, you're currently attempting to argue that the us can't implement a no fly zone over israel

thought i'd bring it up because nothing that you just said related to that in any way

yeah you're right israel is the entire middle east that is a statement that makes sense

please explain how anything you just said is relevant to the libyan no-fly zone

thx 😘

it no longer applies because countries realised it wasn't a good idea to boycott the un because of the power the un has

the us is the only country stopping action in israel

it doesn't really matter what other countries want if the us just vetoes it

they also aren't the countries supplying israel with the bulk of their weapons

Because they bought jets from somebody who makes them has nothing to do with the US government

you literally did but ok

the F22 is actually an aerial maneuver plane

yes the f22 is what would enforce the nfz, try again

oh i see you now typed it into google and educated yourself, despite pretending to know what happened earlier

the un could absolutely still invoke the same kind of response as the korean war. the korean war only happened due to the soviet boycott, and that hasn't happened since, largely because of the korean war

"you're wrong but i can't explain"

absolute big brain move you're right i can't compete with you

we're not discussing an nfz over the entire middle east we're discussing one over israel

American and British naval forces fired over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles

no you're right all 110 were probably fired at a single target
