Smythe posted:honestly he’s a goat for sure debateable. his failson murdered a pleb while he and cincinatus were trying to roll back the rights of the plebians so cincinatus was found liable for damages and had to pay his entire rich dude fortune in law suits except for the one field he had to work to not starve. i guess he learned and did a growth by the time he got to be dictator by not being a dickbag again and abdicating power early but hes not some model of virtuous poverty, he was an anti-poor crusader that got owned.

hes probably part of the reason we didnt have an emperor george washington the first or whatever since gw wanted to be remembered the same way and similarly, abdicating power also made everyone forget the dumbass poo poo he did earlier too!

The early-mid Republic had a shitload of dictators that always stepped down when they were supposed to. Doesn't make sense why Cincinattus is the one people always jack off about.

Trimson Grondag 3 posted:all nations have constituencies who want money directed to them, and military procurement is a big gravy train. I think sometimes this thread sees these sort of issues as being US specific but I’m sure military procurement is wildly corrupt and produces pork barrelling the same way in Spain, in China, in Russia, in Denmark. the difference seems to be the pie is so much bigger in the US and that at least in China they realise that sure you make sure your hometown gets the contract for making tanks treads or whatever, but at the end of the day you still have to ship a plausibly working tank. parts of the US military (the Navy in particular) have lost the ability to even get to ‘plausibly working’ any more. Well there is also the difference that if you gently caress with China's procurement then you will be punished, maybe even killed, rather than actively rewarded.

China can't sink our carrier fleets if we don't have the ammo to arm and then field them. Some real 12d chess maneuvers going on there.

Its really funny how the US watched the Soviets crush the Germans and turn around and go we must learn from these losers if we want to beat the dudes that beat them. So we copied our NCO structure off them, we copied their helmetsz the MG-42, we made ridiculously large tanks that are supply beasts and now we do artisal orders fornmissles. Hilarious

So the plan is only viable if the F-16s operate from places that can’t be struck, and hmm that seems like a dangerous game.

Ukraine had an airforce, it had tanks, but everything will be okay we if can just get the undefeated in colonial wars weapons. It doesn't matter that the abundance od AA on the ground makes any plane a short lived thing, the propaganda says they're unbeatable. I'm shocked they're not begging to switch out their SU-25s for an A-10
