Hey, remember when Silbasa used to shit-talk America’s army by saying it was too soft by having so many women and that we can only rely on manly strength once, “technology goes dark”?
Ha.
“Manly strength” can only get an army so far. Amateurs talk strategy while experts talk logistics. The American military’s strength lies in the soft boring factors, it’s logistics, it’s R&D, it’s bureaucracy. America does have a lot of female soldiers, sailors, marines, air women, and pretty soon space women. Yet each and every last one serves a purpose and can be trained to hold if the need arises.
Modern warfare is a far cry from ancient warfare where strength was what won the day. Now it’s who can pump out the most reliable tanks, who can train the most effective battalions, who knows the most, and who has the better leaders.

American soldiers can operate radically different than other armies.
They have a lot more volition and individually. They can operate a lot more independently.
In close combat they speak calmly to each other on first name basis. Like psychopaths.
They will always do the most unpredictable thing.
They love night and infared.
They have technology that dehumanizes and gamifies violence. You never see the American, before showing up as a red blob on their screen.
Always nuclear air superiority. Using a jet to clip a drone and not even owning it is not air superiority.
Riding on a horse without a shirt doesn’t compete. Our women and trans people are just as deadly, the American ass whooping is non binary.
Our tech isn’t going dark. That’s the power fantasy of some delusional old guy.

Ex President Trump news dealing with the criticism of Silicon Valley Bank.
WOKENESS CAUSED IT not gutting Dodd Frank. Thank you, Orange Man for being so bad not handling your criticism.
Also note 16 banks failed under Trump.
While only 1 failed under Biden.

That’s a real technique. Close combat means rapid hostile takeover of a building or vehicle. Enemy has no idea several Americans are already inside talking to each other.
Often involves setting up explosives, taking out variables with small suppressed arms, and overwhelming the target all at once (once the guns start firing and cover blown they yell sure)
Almost like playing a videogame. FPS games are more accurate in terms of close combat than field artillery or ranged warfare.
Psychopath is the cultural term sometimes used to describe people who maintain a flat affect under extreme conditions. I don’t mean like the literal criminal definition. Actually you have to be low empathy or good control of your emotions to be any soldier, let’s get real, don’t pretend autoloading rifles and low empathy is weird in the same sentence.
You can listen to people who fought against America on YouTube.
They all say it’s pretty much hopeless.

Why are you going into all of this here?
What is it about My Little Pony and it’s fandom that you think makes this the right site for you to bring up these subjects, or post them in this thread?

Oh I vaguely forget that. There is some arbitrary line in the politics thread.
When doubted I explain myself.
I’ll tone it down. There is no fighting America. China maybe, but not Russia.

Edit: now I can see how this happens. Some discussion of fighting America, and most of the world doesn’t really know how America fights anymore. Discouraging anyone from standing against this country is a public service in my eyes.

Let’s get back to the civil politics, I can spare the details about the combat, my point is just that it’s no longer ‘manly men with swords and horse’. Not everyone that meets American opposition is the bad guy, I’m not committing treason by mentioning the most basic techniques you see on the Xbox. Knowing how America fights could help people surrender.

Maybe playing devil’s advocate here, but insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan would beg to differ. It’s because they stubbornly refused to surrender that they were eventually successful in seeing America vacate the premises with their goals unfulfilled, despite the asymmetry of the losses.
They just had to hold on until the American public voted in someone who was willing to put an end to what they deemed a sunk-cost fallacy.

I try not tk be a keyboard warrior. So theae days, I mostly just drop in some libertarian insight in the hope that it will at least help someone who reads it understand the other side’s views a little better, and just stop responding if it looks like it’s gonna turn into a long-winded debate.
