Why won't I read your SubStack posts? Yes, it's the Nazis, the not platforming them, etc.
The biggest reason is I can't trust anything written by someone who has such a big blind spot, deliberate or not, as to stay on a Nazi-backed platform.
What else have you missed because you're careless or ignorant? What else have you deliberately excised because it doesn't line up with the point you're trying to make?
Oh god, sometimes I feel like beating my head against a desk reading some people's "understanding" of warfare.
They hear the terms, but don't understand them
The US has been saying this for a week now. They said it before they dropped their GBU-72's, that didn't do anything. They said it before they sent their first amphibious ship, Iran didn't change their posture. They said it before they sent the other three amphibious ships, again, Iran didn't change their posture.
Civilian ships are passing the Strait, so any action will put them at risk. There is no way for the US to gain any control of the strait without losing thousands of lives
The fact Israelis use the Star of David as a way to mark property they've destroyed and/or stolen says everything about who they are.
Why aren't Jewish people the world over decrying these monsters?
These same questions are asked of Muslims when there's a Daesh pogrom, and there's always wall-to-wall condemnation, but for Israeli Occupation Forces backed Jewish settlers in Palestine, nothing:
Israeli settlers carry out series of West Bank attacks as security forces stand by
Win or lose, fighting two F-5's in a Draken gets the pulse racing
One of the things dad talked to me about was his time in combat. It was tough for him, because a lot of what he did was somewhat clandestine (Royal Navy in Malaysia).
One of the things he spoke of was the adrenaline, the thrill, of war. He wasn't a violent person, and taught me much of my anti-war, anti-violent, philosophy, but war is thrilling.
The problems arise once you don't have the adrenaline, and you have to live with what you've done.
Sure, some people can just wipe out what they've done, but the internalisation from ending someone's life does not sit easy with those who have been to war.
It doesn't matter if you're in a jet or on the ground, you have to live with what you've done
Girls don’t fart okay!
All that being said, I still love my Saab JX35S more than anything.
6x RB24J's (AIM-9P), IRST, and the capacity to do a "cobra manoeuvre", is just so much fun.
And, yes, I bought a skin, because it's sexy
