What the fuck is wrong with you people? Iran can provide the proof. Why the fuck would you continue to believe something after the initial “proof” was shown to be fake?

They said they did. Still no proof

Sure, how about from the folks who shot it down. That wasn’t parts from a different plane, or AI generated.

So much going on in that little comment of yours. The F-35 borrowed from the F-22 while reducing cost to become the JSF. It was effectively a downgrade on purpose

The F-22 was optimized for

• air superiority
• speed
• maneuverability

The F-35 was optimized for

• multirole strike missions
• affordability (relative to the F-22)
• exportability

Also, your claim the F-35 was “downed in its first actual combat mission that was not a balloon” is not true. (A) There is still no confirmed combat shootdown of an F-35. And (B) F-35s have conducted non-balloon-related combat operations for years in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

So… not sure what you think you know, but it seems to be incorrect.

I wonder what that course is called?

Field Studies in Eastern Ukraine… Statistics of Acceptable Losses, perhaps?

I’m pretty sure chatgpt developed this “15 point” plan.

If you want to debate foreign policy, great. But “othering” and dehumanizing an entire group of people isn’t a serious argument. It’s the Russia/GOP playbook.

And the fact this is so heavily upvoted says more about the state of lemmy than it does about the people you’ve never met, yet seemingly hate so much.

Dissonance?

I know what you are talking about before you’ve finished, [but you keep talking anyway so] i can barely focus on what you are talking about

But did they try land-based regime change yet?

Hah! It gets better than that.

We are going to have to pay again in taxes to make up for the new shortfall.

I’ve seen several articles pointing to $374B in exports for 2024 (including wiki), with no formal numbers for 2025 yet. Those numbers seem off.

Here is a good one that shows energy exports.

This is another that discusses overall trade. Noteworthy is the significant change in economic complexity.

In the end though, I have many more questions. This has peaked my curiosity and I’ll be doing some deeper research tonight.

Yes. Military strategists will always tell you that isolation and alienation are the best strategic defense.

Awesome! Thanks for the vid. I didn’t realize the oil could actually freeze.

Literally freeze? How does this work where they could be shut down for decades?

I’ve been watching landman, but I’m not an expert in oil drilling yet.

He’s buying an exit plan

Maybe use protection, or you might get put on a no fly list or something.

You will respect me at the point of this gun.

The second is the reason for the first.

Maybe that’s what I need. Shots with every task complete. The dopamine ain’t doing it.
