I didn't digress we are and have always been talking about women in the military. You actually did the digression here so more projecting but we will get to that later.

Is it common practice for you to use words and you don't understand their meaning?

The reason female combat participation is historically lower is because women were excluded from those roles for most of history not because of lack of capability.

In the USSR alone over 800 000 women served in the military from Snipers like Lyudmila Pavlichenko or the Famous Night witches fighter pilots.

Over 350,000 thousand served in the US military in uniform not to mention all the women who worked the factories to keep the war machine at home.

Also since you asked for more examples why don't you read about the Kurdish protection forces who were extremely important in fighting against ISIS They fought on front lines in Urban warfare and preformed extremely effectively infact the US military used these units from 2014 to 2019 to fight the ground battle against ISIS in Syria. Famous battles like the Battle of Kobani.

But this is not the totality of women in the military. But this is enough to prove that women are adapt at combat when they have been allowed to participate and had training.

Now to the projection and your digression you have completely veered of in to the world of conspiracy theroy.
"Break the cycle, and wake up or suffer the consequences as did New Zealand"

You're the one that is falling for right wing propaganda which has been directly funded by Russia.

Look at Russia today>Tenet Media>Right wing influencers like Tim pool.

Even if they didn't know the money was coming from Russia there was a name for that in the cold war it was called being a "Useful idiot”.

Ill go no further on that conspiracy nonsense especially just you throwing out buzzwords and havening no obvious knowledge on how those things work.

I often wonder why its the people that talk about "facts and stats" are the ones that hardly use them.

Like you asked me to provide stats and facts but provide nothing and just bring up conspiracy theories

[Strongside @Strongside688]

"the fact that nobody knows or cares tells the story"

Everybody is included in nobody it's a totalizing statement if you want to get specific it's called a universal negative.

Nobody=0 people.

So you are projecting your ignorance to the total population of the planet because you don't know something. the fact you need this explained shows how absolutely ill thought out your statements are.

For future absolute claims in either direction is extremely fragile because you lower the burden of proof to 1 person. All it takes is one person that disagrees with your assertion to then be proven wrong especially when talking about something subjective like "caring"

So idk how much clearer I can get with explaining to you how you are projecting.

Stating this observation is not projection.

More importantly, you were given counterexamples before you made the absolute statement, which means it was already false when you posted it.

The UK has clearly lagged the US economically but GDP per capita comparisons with Mississippi don’t translate directly into living standards. Healthcare, inequality, and cost of living change that picture a lot.

That comparison only works if you ignore cost of living.
On a PPP basis which reflects what people can actually afford the UK is still comfortably ahead of Mississippi.
Raw GDP numbers don’t translate directly into living standards.

For instance using GDP places like Madison county/Madison City, Ocean springs and other affluent places actually inflate the GDP of Mississippi.

Diffrent regions of Mississippi have a variance of up to 10-38% living in poverty.

Around 25% of children in Mississippi live in poverty.

Looking at it at a house hold level according to https://t.co/eLkf23jPVL(which ironically is currently down)

Data indicates that 49% of the households in Mississippi are working poor

So Even if Mississippi’s GDP per capita looks similar to the UK,
the distribution of wealth is dramatically worse.

Because the ultra rich have alot of the resources of the state while the working class/poor have barley anything.

Perfect case of a liar not remembering his lies.

[Strongside @Strongside688]

While you observe the worst of humanity every day. it's important to realize that we have it in most of the developed world better then we have ever had it before
by almost every measurable metric.

Your brain is just like your body.

Feed it unhealthy things and it will have unhealthy outlooks.

IF you are data driven i suggest looking into things like war and disease and other topics on Our World in Data.

Or maybe also spending time on positive new sources that highlight the very best of humanity and what we are doing and how we are solving problems our species faces.

Calling it “lunacy” to learn from history is backwards.
Blindly applying the past to the present is flawed but refusing to use it at all is even worse.
That’s how you repeat the same mistakes.

[Strongside @Strongside688]

@logicsblade @szetoinsitu @RealCynicalFox You’re projecting your own ignorance onto others.
Confidence doesn’t equal correctness, and dismissing things you don’t understand isn’t an argument.

[Strongside @Strongside688]

Some one so invested in geopolitics doesnt even know the history of america xD

Revolutionary war was won by the French.
The war of 1812 (that you lost) only ended in a treaty becuase the UK had to deal with napoleon.

The problem with the US is its unquestionable that they have built amazing things on the foundation of civilizations that came before.

But the question is What country has contributed most to humanity?

Your talking 2000 plus years Ancient greek for instance, Eygpt, China,UK,Mesopotamia all have in my opinion bigger claims on that question then the US does.

[Strongside @Strongside688]

@urgentintel @ArifMah48958702 @WarMonitor3 You mean the Back-to-Back champion of seeing which way the wind is blowing and picking a side then?

[Strongside @Strongside688]

Not only is it ironic that you don't know how to spell his name.

Sun Tzu but you also have obviously never read the art of war either.

Because one of the most famous stories is how he trained an army of female concubines to become soldiers.

So he obviously thought Females could be soldiers

Weaken NATO.
Give Iran Hormuz.
Bailout Russia.
Empower China.

It’s the weakest and most Anti-American foreign policy in the history of the Republic.

[Strongside @Strongside688]

more strawman.

When did I say Russia would play nice with the US? I said they’d act in their own interest. That could mean exploiting Europe while avoiding direct conflict with the US those aren’t the same thing.Also, even if Russia gains territory, that doesn’t automatically benefit the US in the moment it still creates pressure on Europe and the US, which was my point.”

[Strongside @Strongside688]

Russia isn't going to play nice with the US ? so even if they push there advantage and woopey they are struggling with ukraine what could they do to a modern military?

even then land they conquer and rouces that capture are permentley going to cut that off from the US.

IDk if you know this but russia and the US have been staunch enemies for 80+ years.

[Strongside @Strongside688]

@FLASHGLADDING @bojakmarkets @WarMonitor3 I outlined it in my first post.

Long range nuclear warheads. both land and submarine based.

there is not way for the US to stop 100% of them end of story that alone awnsers

"have yet to describe how Europe can seriously threaten America."

[Strongside @Strongside688]

my god how can someone be so misinformed the US education system is absolutely fucked.

"You think modern warfare is your ally but we define it. We created it."

Im not from Europe . I have never disparaged the US military either i have just outlined the difficulties it would face.

"Europe hasn’t fought a war outside their continent in so so long they don’t have the expertise. Minor conflicts aren’t the same as war."

This is the same stupid thing your president has said about all its allies and is why alot of Europe, Asia and Australia/New Zealand is so angry at them right now.

Europe and alot of nations fought in Iraq 1 and 2, Afganistan,Korea, Vietnam. It was Natos apparatus joint training and logistics that allowed this.

The UK and France took Point in the libiya intervention.
The Uk has fought the Falkland wars

France constantly been projecting power in Africa in their colonies or ex colonizes. The French foreign legion is especially war experienced.

Speaking about logistics how expensive do you think logistics will be when you try to project power to the middle east and you can't use European airbases or docks?

i dont understand how stupid you are. you just get told something and you obviously believe it.

Sure carrier strike groups are phenomenal i know alot about them maybe you need todo more research though.

You think US vs Europe will be a cake walk i know it wont be

alot of your counter points are just strawmans on arguments i never attempted.

How is the US Air Force going to fly sustained sorties into Europe without access to European bases?

Where are US aircraft refueling if forward bases are denied?

How are you maintaining sortie rates when flight times double or triple?

Where are maintenance crews and spare parts being staged?

How do you sustain high-tempo operations across the Atlantic without nearby infrastructure?

What replaces bases like Ramstein Air Base in a conflict against Europe?

How long can operations be sustained from carriers alone?

How many aircraft can realistically be supported without fixed land bases?

How do US carriers operate safely in the Atlantic under constant submarine threat?

How many carrier groups are required just to maintain air superiority over Europe? what if alot fo those carrie strike groups are needed else were like indo pacific or mid east?

What happens when supply ships (fuel, ammo) are targeted?

Can the US Navy maintain uninterrupted logistics across the Atlantic in wartime conditions?

How does the US establish air superiority with a localized force over a continent with dense, layered air defenses?

How long can the US sustain high-intensity warfare without allied industrial support?

How does the US counter a force fighting on home territory with interior supply lines?

How do you overcome Europe’s shorter logistics chains and faster reinforcement cycles?

How do you deal with dispersed bases across an entire continent instead of a few key targets?

What’s the plan when every sortie Europe flies is shorter, cheaper, and easier to sustain?

If the US relies on Europe for forward basing in current wars, how does it replace that in a war against Europe?

When its just gone?

you seem to be under the impression there will be zero adjustment time for the US military while europe is in shambles.

just mindboggling ridiculous.

By some miracle lets say you have awnsers for all these questions and everything works out your still going to accept losses and way bigger scale then what you have seen in iran and thats a 3rd world country.

so how are you going to protect all your other interests aswell like your defence commitments to my country australia,Japan South korea against china?

If china expands its sphere of influence that sucks for the US.

also what about economically?

the US is reliant on Europe for

Pharmaceuticals
Machinery & industrial components
Aerospace parts
Financial services
Advanced manufacturing components
Specialty chemicals
Medical/pharma inputs
Precision engineering

If europe falls so does america. you guys have spent 80+ years intertwining yourselves militarily and economically and have benefited massively from it by having the biggest wealthiest empire the world has ever known.

IF you go to war with europe or even remove yourselves from nato the diplomatic fall out and damage would be terrible and most certainly the death knell of the American Empire.

China would pick up the pieces period

[Strongside @Strongside688]

@PaladinJew @JohnHundeslit So no substance? just to call me a bot. Why would Oman and the International atomic agency lie?

Is this all apart of some conspiracy to keep making israel look bad? they do that them selves.

[Strongside @Strongside688]

Why would europe want to invade the US? this is a very US minded thing you guys think every one even in your own country wants to attack you.

The only situation a war would happen is under this circumstance.

Europe decoupling from the US would force the US to try to regain its sphere of influence by any means necessary.

This is it the europe and US decoupling alone would have massive economic and conventional problems for both but especially the US infact a decoupling at this level would be a death sentance for the American Empire.

They would lose the power to project their conventional forces effectively as they can now in the middle east for instance.

The US would not be able to muster a force to take on Europe's 2500 combat aircraft missile defense systems and local forces without severally crippling its self and also allowing its rising peer enemies to exert their influence elsewhere.

The European submarine fleet would not only be to vast to effectively deal with but be a nightmare for US Carriers.

There would be no effective way for the US military to even stage large amount of aircraft around Europe to effectively attack it.

Even if the US sent every carrier, it had all 11 Nimitz class and the Gerald Ford would only be 600 to 800 Aircraft.

A large part of the Logistical miracles the US have been able to pull of is thanks to the NAto Apparatus it's why the US cops the L money wise because what they gain is beyond a monetary figure aswell as political capital etc.

Where is the US Airforce going to stage from intially to attack Europe? it wont be Russia that's for sure.

This means it will be up to the US navy to make headway and their going to be facing a peer force with greater numbers and homefield advantage.

"Europe’s entire military apparatus is supplied and supported by the US we know them better than they know themselves."

This is a great example of you buying conservative nonsense.

France is not that reliant on the US . France has a huge military industrial complex.

They build their latest 4thgen fighter in house with a 5th on the way. Make their own ships and aircraft carriers.

Look up Bae Systems,Airbus,Thales Group, Naval Group to name a few and research the French industrial complex.

France build a lot of Missiles Radars and other things inhouse and supply other countries including European ones.

They even were at one point to supply Australia with its new submarine fleet which was later shelved because of the AUKUS Deal.

My point is your underselling Europe here and its obviously from ignorance. Europe has a significant domestic military capability and industrial capacitay.

They are not as toothless as you think they are. and this talk is dangerous

[Strongside @Strongside688]

According to even Oman which has built its self in to the neutral deal maker of the middle east.

Iran was dealing in good faith and there had been substantial progress made in the negotiating in Oman with the US side.

How is that escalation?

Further more Iran according to the International Atomic Energy agency which is the main international watch dog repeatedly verified Iran was complying with its inspectors and it was adhereing to the JCPOA signed in 2015 by obama.

What escalation am i missing here?

[Strongside @Strongside688]

@markkleiney @ibrahimhajjeda The people with the head in the sand are trump supporters.

I think you are not realizing how much damage trump is causing to your own country and the world.

He is giving Russia and China a situation they couldn't of dreamed of in their wildest dreams.
