democracy is only good when it votes for things the US likes, like privatizing critical industries and ripping the copper out of the walls or genociding yemen

it’s not for like, voting for things America doesn’t like, such as communism or business deals with other countries. that’s not democracy!! that’s not free market! rigged! very unfair!! :yooge:

I don't think the US military is prepared for a war against people who can actually field a significant army. All our resources go to bombing civilians in third world countries.

the part of the f-35 that “rusts” is the radar absorbing material.

the radar absorbent paint that made the f-117, b-2 and f-22 hard to maintain is high carbon content iron. I guess they just gave up at some point and let the outer paint layer rust instead of requiring carefully climate controlled hangars.

You can't really have climate controlled hangars on the deck of a carrier on the open seas

the f-22 has been deployed to lots of places where they have to sit outside too.

i guess since the f-35s on carrier decks aren't 100% iron oxide there is some secret squirrel special sauce slowing down that process

Nah that makes too much sense. It’s because the cloud is going to accidentally trigger the “we’ve been shot down” alarm to go off and then even when the pilots are in the radio going “yo we haven’t even taken off yet, it’s raining, we haven’t been shot down, promise” Joe Biden will stumble over to the buttons and press the launch one thinking it said lunch

like i really have to wonder how much of this crisis was self created since absent our politicians having to repeatedly clarify that no just because were talking about putin invading ukraine doesnt mean were going to send any troops to ukraine just made putin go hmmm well if youre going to insist on never putting any troops in ukraine under any circumstances i might as well invade it then

it’s 100% self-created

like there’s audio of the US assistant Secretary of State in 2014 going “OK, so who’s gonna run this thing?” and straight up saying “gently caress the EU”. her name is Victoria nuland lol.

unfortunately doing the whole “lol follow the money” bullshit leads to an insane conclusion: the US has been actively sabotaging both the minsk ii agreement between russia and Ukraine as well as the nordstream 2 pipeline to… ship shale extracted LPG to germany because their idiotic Green Party was like LOL SHUTDOWN ALL THE NUKES and wound up with a massive deficit energy wise to literally keep the lights on. all the hay and rhetoric being made about DEMOCRACY is cover for the fact that some petrofuckers are trying to make a quick buck.

the party deliberately intervened to prevent bernie from winning in 2016, then promptly gave the election to trump. they deliberately and blatantly intervened again in 2020, still won regardless, and oh so very immediately began doing everything they could possibly do to hand 2022 and 2024 to the republicans. this isn't an accident

this would sting more if bernie didn't go "ah yes you're doing exactly the right thing" and threw his hat in with them lol
