@bilbosfootcomb “Comparable” not even the Japanese thought America was comparable. There’s a reason admiral Yamamoto really really did not want to anger the US.
”I can run free in the Pacific for six months then we all die” -paraphrased Yamamoto
@AliceBright_ OK, but how do you actually know what people need and in what amount? The Soviet Union was constantly under supplied with even the most basic of consumer goods.
Everything from citrus, and meat, to toilet paper, to radios. cars famously had a years long waiting list.
@fadedthrealdude@BurnerDontask we didn’t lose in Vietnam we military beat north Vietnam’s and the Vietcong’s asses until they sued for peace. south Vietnam only got over ran once we left.
@jakesullypecs@sncDuck@denpanopticon Intelligence failure, most likely, unfortunately we don’t know because it hasn’t been released. We’re at the whim of OSINT and whatever gets released from the DOD.
supposedly there’s an investigation going on, but God only knows if we’ll ever see the results of that
@jakesullypecs@denpanopticon Why would the US use an expensive guided bomb to blow up innocent people? What purpose does that serve?
Tell me what logic allegedly goes through the military personnel in order to take that shot.
@ellaerislives@Fishythefox2 100% unfortunately survival is ridiculously nuanced and has 1000 minuscule things that we don’t think about but will absolutely kill you doesn’t matter if you have food if it doesn’t provide the right micronutrients, (causing you to get scurvy and pellagra) or a lack of sanitatio
@Dangermad6691@Orzakroaken@denpanopticon We did have the emperor keep a degree of symbolic control, in order to smooth the transition from imperialist Empire to liberal republic. Did you just not pay attention at all in history class?
@ellaerislives@Fishythefox2 You assume that fragmented human colonies would help each other and not fall into “the other” thinking.
also assumes that you can make a bunch of self-sufficient colonies that aren’t just glorified refugee camps were half the population dies to disease every month.
@Fishythefox2 believe I fall under “Lockheed liberal”, Unfuck the liberal world order because it’s the least bad option we have and spread it to liberate oppressed peoples and keep people from being oppressed by fascism and other totalitarian systems.
@ellaerislives@Fishythefox2 Anarcho socialism is just as impossible as communism or anarcho capitalism because it requires everyone to be both perfectly competent and perfectly moral
@nessiesbroom8 I don’t think it’s OK to kill people because they’re brown. I think it’s OK to kill terrorists and fascists.
I don’t think it’s OK to kill civilians, And the military tries not to do that
@nessiesbroom8 What part of actively helping develop missiles do you not understand?
And why are you acting as if whenever we go somewhere we actively kill civilians for shits and giggles?
@Dangermad6691@Orzakroaken@denpanopticon Japan was on the way out however, it was publicly stated by Japan itself that they would not surrender and would arm quite literally every man, woman, and child with anything they could get their hands on. like I said a invasion would have cost millions of lives
@spectrehaunts@VakarisSan Resistance in World War II targeted the oppressors the German army and SS. Palestinian resistance, targets civilians whether it be the Munich massacre, numerous aircraft hijackings, firing rockets randomly into Israel, or October 7th
@Ghost_Marky You do realize that drafted soldiers commit crimes at a higher rate than volunteer soldiers (see Russia, and Israel) there’s a reason why United States doesn’t use the draft. draftees are less disciplined and cause more problems.
@JerryKingg_@sncDuck@denpanopticon I don’t know where you’re getting 30 schools from. I know we bombed the aerospace wing of one of Iran’s universities because it’s involved in developing missiles making it a legitimate military target. We also did it when school wasn’t in session to minimize casualties.
