Like we've been saying we're the bad guys now for a while, but godamn we're literally Nazis v2.0.

We're at the "Native American blankets" stage of concentration and relocation camps at the moment. Can't remember the exact number but my probably faulty memory wants to say 6,000 detainees at the southern border are in quarantine for an outbreak of mumps I think it was?

We've moved from the rhetoric calling them terrorists and dangerous invaders to letting them die of preventable diseases and institutionalized neglect. We still have vestiges of morality and institutions that are hanging on so it's going to take us awhile to complete the entire trip in to fascist ethno-nationalism cleansings. Give the radicalization process of the Republican party some time to work up to it.

Back, and to the left.

I feel like a crazy person for saying this but I think the most likely cause is some local friends of Jared (either KSA or UAE) tried to do a false flag, the Pentagon realized this immediately, and now everyone is hoping this blows over and people forget it before the details inevitably come out. If there was even a 1% chance this was a real Iranian attack it would be the top story on every channel as every pentagon, state and CIA goon got their reporter friends on the phone.

Most of those planes you mentioned aren't "new" and definitely don't cost as much as the F-35. Yes, my problem is the MICC. The F-35 is one of the most visible manifestations of MICC greed and corruption.

Burn it all loving down. Stop accepting the status quo when it comes to military acquisitions because this poo poo only gets worse.

The new F-35 production lots will cost about the same per airframe as a new F-16. Tens of millions less than a new F-15. Yeah, development was expensive. Shoehorning a loving Harrier into a stealth medium-high altitude fighter/bomber probably had something to do with it. But that's Congress' fault. The Air Force and Navy sure didn't want to ride that coattail. Lockmart probably would've preferred to build two aircraft with completely different assembly lines, too.

In the hours before the attack on the two tankers in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, the Iranians spotted a US drone flying overhead and launched a surface-to-air missile at the unmanned aircraft, a US official told CNN.
The missile missed the drone and fell into the water, the official said.
Prior to taking fire, the American MQ-9 drone observed Iranian vessels closing in on the tankers, the official added, though the source did not say whether the unmanned aircraft saw the boats conducting an actual attack.

Sweet. Glad we accomplished that.

Part of it can also be blamed on either Dick Cheney or McDonnell-Douglas, because in 1991 Cheney canceled the A-12 Avenger II which was going to replace the A-6 and A-7 as a dedicated light bomber/attack aircraft for the Navy, because McD was giving the government the run around on how much the development would actually cost and how long it would take, which meant that the JSF designs had to take on more of a strike role.

From what I remember there were lots of possibly unsolvable problems with the A-12 but its cancellation without trying to immediately start a less audacious naval attack aircraft program as a replacement is one of the major fuckups of the "peace dividend" years. The lack of a replacement for the A-6 and A-7 left naval air with a giant gap in capability (made even worse when the Bombcat was nixed) that lead to trying to make the F-18 into a do-everything platform which has hosed everything six ways to Sunday (what the gently caress kind of idea is Superbug tankers refueling other Superbugs)?

I'm no fan of most of the TCC community types, but it was useful when I was young into my drug sojourns. Bunch of terrible examples of people in there, but it's not like it's the kind of community that outright pushes people to "told you I was hardcore, bro" it into overdose territory. It's a festering wound that needs constant disinfecting, not a diseased limb that needs lobbed off.

how many cow hormones did you inject straight into your chest?

TCC suffers from the same problem as literally all drug-centric forums: the number of experienced users who can educate new users in the ways of "take this poo poo to feel better but make sure to do X, Y and Z or you're hosed" are far outweighed by a lot of stupid people injecting themselves with Dr Pepper or getting jobs as veterinary assistants so they can steal doses of livestock tranquilizer.

But don't you remember how expensive the F-22 was? And the projections for the F-35 were so reasonable. It must have just been bad luck that the costs for the F-35 shot through the roof after we cancelled the F-22. It was so unexpected!

Basically drug forums are useless because anything stronger than :420: is going to be discussed not by experienced people who know how to handle it but by raving lunatics who bake themselves to death in their own driveways because they thought they were hardcore.

None. I had enough bad examples to follow in there, never got to the meathead thread. Also stopped reading it about a decade ago.

I mostly focused on weed threads and hallucinogenics. Salvia, dxm, shrooms, etc, that type of poo poo. I still want to get a few peruvian torch cactus to grow so I can brew mescaline someday. The VA was working hard enough to get me on the horse that I never looked into opiate threads either.
