I can see the US Navy losing because they're generally incompetent and they're probably about 30 years out of date.
Fuck Israel
mac is probably closer to the truth. i'd probably be more concerned about trump meddling and mismanagement than current modernity. as usual, we're building new ships like we're going to war, and probably half of them look like they're out of Empire Strikes Back.
"generally incompetent," according to what metric?
"30 years out of date," like who the hell replaces an entire fleet in one go like buying a new car? is it uncommon for a military to retrofit and upgrade?

The US Navy doesn't really inspire confidence.

and nobody died.
the super hornet is one of the 30yo pieces of hardware you were literally just bemoaning from the comfort of your armchair.
whether or not the evasive maneuvers under missile fire was enough to be a factor or how much of a factor it was? we can speculate.
doesn't the us navy have like 1/3 million people? losing a plane and you're all like "generally incompetent." wow. should we apply that to all other militaries that have ever had accidents?

"generally incompetent." i'm sure the admirals are waiting with bated breath to hear the verdict of a ~50yo suburbanite engineer who lives with his parents, and the cats he (negligently) allows to go out and harass the local wildlife.
the year is 2025.
americans are still rushing to defend the honour and reputation of their military on an internet forum, now populated by 3 total active users, that in its hey-day had 10,000s of active users all playing a game based on two of their latest ignominious military blunders.
guys you lost BF2 IRL. twice. hundreds of thousands of civilians dead. the taliban are rollerblading around afghan as i type this. they’re laughing at you. iraq is a cauldronised mess and will never resemble a state in the next 50 years. total WMDs count: 0.
but hooaah i guess. let’s continue playing top trumps over america’s military stats and prowess.
it blows my mind you guys have this innate appetite for this stuff. all the pride and braggadocio goes so deep.
nobody in the world looks at america as the noble peacekeepers anymore. you’re currently sponsoring a genocide in the middle east and browbeating your military allies so that they will give up 20% of a friendly country’s land mass to russia.
the battlefield series and america’s military are both in the bin. what people wore to the met gala yesterday is literally a more interesting topic of discussion. yemeni pirates are kicking your ass and making you look small. the pull-out of afghanistan was one of the most shameful episodes of any military in recent history.
stopppp already. you guys are so cooked. it’s china’s century now. pay fealty at the court of the middle kingdom, unwashed pig person!

We now know that cauldronisation was always the plan.

e: thinking of battlefield 2 makes me nostalgic for the days when the franchise was comfined to 1942/v/2 and i guess 2142. not bush. fun memories of some of the brightest years in gaming. cartillery, dolphin-diving at a pkm armed with nothing but shock paddles. cod4, ut2k4 and earlier, good times. not hugely into chronically online 2020s gaming.

You're crediting Trumpers with thought?
If any of them do think I doubt they were thinking about Gaza.

there's a whole hot mess of thoughts we could get into from deep maga. but also fence-sitting maga, first-time trumpers, hold-your-nose-and-vote, protest votes against biden. the world's orangest bond villain, to the rescue!
Genocide Joe, Holocaust Harris and Bloodbath Blinken deserved to be tossed, its a shame it was to Trump but thats too bad.
Didn't Trump win mostly thanks to apathetic Democrat turnout?

you keep offering that pro-palestine elbow to rub though with a wink and a "jews, amirite?" it's a bit icky.
Whats icky is the jews slaughtering 50,000+ civilians and starving another two million with the assistance of the Democrats.

I would like to think that Biden, Poilievre and whoever that Australian guy was lost due in part to their support for Israel.
Trump made noises about ending the Gaza genocide and the Ukraine war to gain a bit of support - but turned out to be a liar.
Trump will be a bit of a convulsion, but it mostly affects Americans so I don't care, hopefully in the future politicians will realise that supporting Israel gets them tossed or makes them unelectable.

once again, blah blah blah
omg do you have any idea how many people have meaningful-noddingly regaled me with some broad brushstroke about how jews "do it to themselves."
biden has a lot to answer for but what is tin-pot trump doing? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr4n90g6v9qo
Yes, only 73% of Israelis support the genocide.
Fuck Israel
??? why are you posting a survey of israelis.
So the majority of American jews believe Israel is doing the right thing in slaughtering the Palestinians, and the Palestinians have no valid reason to be aggrieved with Israel.
Its the minority of jews inside and outside Israel who believe what Israel is doing is wrong.

I think both sides have escalated the conflict to one where it is impossible to support one side without endorsing the destruction of the other. Both sides want it this way. And if you want to participate in the discussion at all, you need to pick a side.
Nonsense, thats what the Israelis want you to believe - supporting Palestinians makes you a jew-hater, so of course you can't support Palestinians.

Trying hard to not go down the Jew hater rabbit hole. I do feel targeted by American Jews who see all brown people as terrorist or a threat.
...
The post 9/11 American love affair with Judaism is strange anyway. The Israelis I have gotten to know explicitly understand that Christianity is fundamentally antisemitic and we are their "replacements." They see as just the latest in a long line of oppressors. "Take our money with one hand and curse us with the other" isn't the wrong analysis of Israel. Then again there are many Christians who see Israel as bulwark against Islam and nothing more than that.
...
All of that said, I don't care one way or the other about the two groups fighting. Perhaps there is an answer to what should happen to Jewish Trump supporters.

there are also jews currently wringing their hands about american jews losing their jewishness in majority numbers.
poll results invoked here not separated by reform, conservative, orthodox, and not high enough of a resolution to tap other factors like by gender, depth of knowledge, walks of life? the question specifically vs. hamas?
dilbert seems to only care about stuff like polls and percentages (and people like palestinians) when convenient to dress his actual, expressed jew-hating and anti-indian, anti-asian, anti-african, blah blah blah. it would not surprise me if he actually delights in seeing the absolute unholy worst of genocidal israeli excess to boost his sweeping narrative about The Jews. we all know what word he really wanted in his signature.

The only thing better than the Israelis/jews exposing themselves for what they are is it also exposes the non-jews who think its OK for them to murder women and children and steal their land.
Fuck Israel
