The americans knew the ship was coming for a military exercise without ammunition, they couldn’t just seize it and captured everyone and got the ship? I’m missing something?
You assume they wanted the ship or prisoners more than the death and suffering
First principles: Even assuming they somehow magically knew there really were no smallarms on the ship, why take the risk of getting stabbed or beaten with a pipe or trapping you and starting a fire or whatever. It would be another thing if the ship surrendered, but no reason to put yourself and your fellow soldiers at risk to go easy on your enemy.
Deeper reason: With long range missiles and drones being the primary threat to a ship, the biggest limitations are actually locating the enemy ship, tracking it and guiding the missile/drones towards it. Even a ship with no ammo can do that by relaying your position to another ship or shore based missiles/drones. So pulling your ship right next to an enemy one and having to stay there while your marines go board it is not a safe thing to do.
Fun fact: they were unarmed
What the actual fuck? The US has turned into a parody of itself. It’s sad to see.
It is my first belief that this is the point.
And Putin is quite happy.
Well don’t think he’s that happy since his supply of drones most likely has dried up
Yes, Putin probably enjoys this, but this is not trump alone. He has the support of the whole republican party, or at least 95% of it.
I agree it’s not but like AIPAC I don’t think it’s a stretch that the broader cartel that is the GOP realizes their reelection hinges on the bilateral relationship with Russia. They’ve been in cahoots for at least 2 decades or more.
Well, when you elect clowns…
is this honestly a surprise? :(
There is no carpet bombing of Tehran. This person is thus not a reputable source and you need to start doubting the rest of the claims until you find a better source.
Are you arguing semantics over the use of “carpet bombing”? Because it was definitely bombed.
Bombed, yes. Carpet bombed, no.
Fair enough.
They mean striking civilian targets when they say carpet bombing, they don’t mean WW2 style mass dumb bombing.
They mean what they say and it is propaganda. In addition, the amount of civilian targets hit are few. The Islamic regime itself is responsible for a lot more deaths. The opinions of regime-critical Iranians inside the country can be summarized like this: yes, bombs are scary, but the regime is more scary.
Bro two hospitals and a school where they haven’t shown a valid target nearby is three civilian targets too many for the most technologically advanced military in the world.
Double tapping is just fuel on a bonfire but sure if prevaricating for fascists is your deal then carry on.
IDK. Kind of sounds like some shit Russia would do. 😒
Well Russia didn’t do it because they don’t have the “fuck you” power that the US has. Russia sucks and is a huge danger, but this is absolutely not the time to whataboutism about them. I really hope you’re being ironic, because otherwise it’s just providing cover for mass murder.
I mean… there can be two murderous ruthless sadistic powers on earth. Three even! I’ll let you choose the third.
Equatorial Guinea!
The People’s Dictatorship of Antarctica
“russia would do” - when you say that to yourself remember that phrase is propaganda. it’s literally some shit the USA did do. Your “IDK” is cognitive dissonance.
😖
Yes, it’s us. We did this. WE’RE THE NEW RUSSIA!
Sounds like some shit the US did do.
… Add yet another warcrime to the list…
This is just the start. The old world broke once russia invaded Ukraine and we did nothing. Now other countries have realized that the world wont do anything if they also attack. Expansion has once again started. I expect Taiwan to be finished by summer too.
The old world broke when the US and UK invaded Iraq illegally in 2003. This is the natural consequence of that. If the people claiming to uphold them don’t follow the rules because they are strong enough, then if we are strong enough we can do anything we want.
I get this vibe that no one knows what’s going on anymore and everything is just running on the fumes of the zeitgeist and conspiracy theories.
I find the fact that the whole world “knows” that China will invade Taiwan in 2027 to be really strange. And this has been the case for years. It feels like certain groups are taking it as a foregone conclusion.
It’s weird how the US is turning into everything it fought against. Was fun while it lasted.
Did we fight against it or did we hide our war crimes better?
There’s a reason at least half the world despises the US
You posted the sinking for content… even stupider
Are you lost?
