Lot's of details were misrepresented. Things like filling the gas tanks with water and loading ammo with sand during live fire tests may seem like cheating. But penetration into the magazine or fuel tank can tell you the vehicle is vulnerable to secondary explosions without those explosions turning the vehicle into confetti.

To the average Joe, any military development project is going to look like a boondoggle. They don't know about procurement bureaucracies, economies of scale, or the expense of product development. The Ford company spent more to develop the Taurus than the US spent to develop the B2.

I'm also going to put on my tinfoil hat for a second and say that lots of myths about American Military incompetence are encouraged. It's a good thing that our enemies think that our equipment is dogshit and our Generals are corrupt.

Malignant misogyny isn't mental illness.

We can address problems with male alienation, isolation, and loneliness without having to coddle terrorist reactionaries.

So, a genocide doesn't count unless it's complete, and if the Palestinians in Gaza knew what was good for them they'd self-ethnic-cleanse?

they have genocidal leadership who are clearly intent on attacking their neighbors until they’re all dead.

What you're implying is that Hamas is bringing down genocide on their own people via the IDF. Since Hamas is in control of, and responsible for the IDF, why don't they use it to attack Israel? Are they stupid?

Better get used to this folks. Fast and Furious XXXVIII is going to star James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, with an original soundtrack by Nirvana.

Christopher Reeves' Superman is going to face off against Heath Leger's Joker.

Their will come a time when nobody remembers the original talent, only the simulation. I can't wait for Baudrillard's next book.

Biden’s Strikes in Yemen Are Unconstitutional, Bipartisan Members of Congress Say ( theintercept.com )

The U.S. and U.K. led a series of airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday evening, setting off alarms globally about how the attacks play into the smoldering regional risk of conflict — including a stream of questions from Congress about whether Biden was legally authorized to conduct the strikes at all.

It's ironic you bring up Marbury vs. Madison. The case where the Supreme Court gave itself the extra-constitutional authority to strike down laws.

"Colorblindness" is just reconciliation without the truth. It's a project concerned with the comfort of white people.

You can't just use cherry picked quotes to make dead men endorse stupid shit

yesman OP ,

You know, when you advantage a hypothetical displacement over an ongoing one, the implicit argument is that Israelis are superior to Palestinians. You're asking: wouldn't it be horrible for the Palestinians to do to the Israelis what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians?

If you think it's unfair to displace one oppressed people in favor of another, then yea, I agree.

yesman OP ,

Elmo says the goal is to make Grock "politically neutral". Politically neutral is code for "politics that are inoffensive to chuds".

If these people had been roasted in napalm dropped by an officer going by at 900kmh no American would care or remember.

Codifying war crimes implies that honorable warfare exists.

God forbid a Star Wars movie be interesting or play with fan expectation. Trying to please the Star Wars fandom is like a battered woman trying to make sure that dinner is ready and hot when he gets home.
