@MCCCANM It wasn't just Tokyo. Dozens of Japanese cities were subjected to firebombing. Over 25,000 sorties flown, during hundreds of raids. Firebombing did far more damage than the nukes.

In the second installment of the DPAE Spotlight Series, Rear Adm. Brian Metcalf, DPAE Maritime for Combatants, discusses the people, partnerships, and programs that are shaping the future of the Navy’s surface combatant fleet.
@USNavy
@mattvanswol@bigpurrrrrrrrr But according to blacks, Asians and Indians are white. Hispanics are white too. White is just the negro word for every race they hate, which is every race but their own. Every race they can't compete with on a level playing field.
@sentdefender When China supplies a weapon to knock down Apache helicopters, oil to China gets restricted. Xi can FA, but he'll have a FO moment too. Helping the mullahs isn't free.
@johnkonrad Americans might never again accept large numbers of flag draped coffins coming back from foreign soil. The idea of sending troops to battle is becoming obsolete. Unmanned and standoff warfare is the future. Destroy infrastructure and economy while they can't get at us.
@jasmineforga Without fraudulent votes, Democrats lose every election. It's not an exaggeration. It's reality. All Republicans need to defeat these charlatans is rigorous election integrity.
@GenFlynn@CallahanAutoCo Idiotic take. The Biden administration had unfettered access to the Epstein files for 4 years, with a liberal FBI and DOJ batting for them. If Trump was even slightly culpable, they'd have found it.
@Paav98233@sentdefender Likely an E model then. Shahed drones normally don't have the capability to hit a moving target. Maybe they got some technology smuggled in from Russia. Of course we're likely slipping some tech to Ukraine, so it's tit for tat. We'll soon see if the latest strikes took care of it
@Paav98233@sentdefender Not necessarily. About 90 percent of the Apaches are newer E models, about 15 years old. 10 percent are the older D models from the late 1990s. There is an anti-drone warfare package in development, but few would have this installed yet. And it could be that the crew f'd up.
@Fireleap_@TankerTrackers The tankers coming out to sea to make the STS transfers are owned and operated by the countries selling the oil. They're used to shuttle oil out to sea, thus avoiding the inability for commercially owned tankers to get insurance to transit the Strait.
@TankerTrackers Public misunderstanding, or just libtards being libtards and blabbing ridiculous shit? Anyone paying a shred of attention with more than 3 brain cells understood perfectly.
@FZaslavskiy@sentdefender The fact that they released it on the day before they conduct a large scale strike is probably no accident. Might be venting frustration or provoking them a little.
@sentdefender It's good from the perspective of ships trapped since March being finally able to leave. Also good that state owned tankers can get through to conduct ship to ship transfers at sea, avoiding the insurance problem. Nothing like it was before, but better.
@ClemensDesert@sentdefender Oil is being SOLD from the strategic reserve. If you sell it for say $90 a barrel, then refill it a year later at say $60 a barrel, would you consider that a bad thing?
@mercoglianos@Yahya_Saree A lot of shipping traffic already avoids going through there. More will avoid it now. They won't stop shipping. They'll just increase the cost. They're cutting their region out of global trade while making US made goods more competitive. Maybe we should be grateful.
