How about give it a week or 5 and then ask something like this

The nothing ever happens gang is getting real cocky

while years of ground invasion is the only way to Win a War in the idiotic Hollywood sense, the dahiya doctrine seems a strong contender for how to rely on air power to win a war in the Clausewitz sense. America really seems to be coming out strong on this one - on the imperial side of the ledger, it's only israel that's suffering real damage. a damaged and war torn israel in the middle of a destabilized mid east conflagration seems to be well aligned with historic American goals.

Carney ready to promise to double military spending to meet NATO's demands at the same time as the US embarks on a other foreign war of conquest. This would mean approximately doubling the Canadian military budget over 7 or so years

Whats wild is that the cuomo campaign talks about antisemitism fears with zohran but considering the demographics of new York state, cuomo probably literally killed hundreds of Jewish elders during covid through his own actions.

Just a shame the Men of the West never really faced any punishment for their crimes.

I mean their continent city was destroyed in an apocalypse sent by the gods, to the point that the only survivors of their race were a handful of traitors to the numenorean imperial project

Turbine blades are among the most highly engineered and high tech pieces of a plane. Spraying a bunch of paint or whatever in there may damage things, it will require inspection/maintenance, and any disassembly and cleaning could easily damage turbine blades enough to make them not suitable for use. They're very low tolerance pieces.

tanker aircraft like that are used to refuel fighter jets to keep fighter jets in the air for a longer period of time. the fighter flies closer to enemy airspace and then falls back to the tanker when necessary for fuel. tankers are a way to extend the duration of fighter missions. that to me makes them part of an offensive weapons complex.

what I don't know is if tanker jets like that could be used to help move a bunch of fighters further or faster than they'd be able to move otherwise. if the US is evacuating a bunch of planes out of bases in qatar/UAE/other places that are within range of lots of iranian munitions and moving them to diego garcia or something, then would having a bunch of tanker planes in the area help that evacuation go faster or be more efficient? I don't know, I'm asking. if tankers were useful in this context, then they could be useful as a defensive measure and thus wouldn't necessarily point towards a US bombing campaign
