Trump’s coin dropped already.

Tl;Dr you’re declaring war on Lebanon.

Then just admit it, this bs dance is childish.

You’re either at war with them or the Lebanese are innocent bystanders where you have to minimize collateral damage, can’t have it both ways.

that can’t be employed at scale as readily

Well there’s your problem right there:

You’re concerned we can’t scale up arbitrary killings? Would you prefer something on a larger, more industrial scale, perhaps with large, gas-fueled ovens?

Killing should be hard, and it should be personal, not vaguely waving a hand in a general direction. You should know their name and hopefully have filled out a few forms beforehand.

If you want to kill somebody, when you aren’t at war with their entire country, then BE SPECIFIC.

Drone strikes that take out a known Al-Queda leader: ✅

Drone strike that takes out a random Afghan wedding: ❌

Ok, on the one hand, yes, blowing up Hamas is funny.

OTOH, this is not cool, bombing random people is a problem.

The US has this wonderful system called the Hellfire R-9X which is basically a flying slap-chop that ginzus a single target with 9 pop-out blades. Can we hand a couple over to the IDF and Mossad so they stop randomly blowing up parts of Lebanon?

It’s not killing Hamas that’s the issue, it’s the collateral.

Exponential funeral growth.

Russian cultural paranoia.

They cannot consider themselves safe unless they have a ‘perimeter’ around Russia.

The thing is: that needed perimeter is always growing, eventually your country becomes part of it, ask Poland and later east Germany, Afghanistan, and eventually, your country.

Their country, their responsibility.

The Germans learned that lesson the hard way.

Uhh, maybe 2 decades ago, they sold all those weapons on Wish.com, where do you think all those super-yachts came from?

This is beyond the pale.

But not surprising. Not for Russians.

Uhh, God I hope so, wait, how was this a question?

What’s sad is that after the Soviet Union fell… we decided to go ahead and finish the F-22.

That’s not even overkill, that’s just insulting their mother.

Counter-counterpoint: we have a lot

I’m just going to point out that we made this thing in the 90s to fight an enemy we didn’t expect this thing to do more than mildly wound.

This wasn’t a great wunderwaffen, this was just our version or advanced artillery, and here it is shattering parts of the Russian army at a stroke.

The greatest generation would be so confused.

You see, Killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.

So the sino-indian war was in 62, but they’ve been salami slicing in indian aksai chin the past decade, and this is acknowledged by outside observers.

China isn’t just brutal to its own people.

Oh yeah, it’s a 3588, all out of tree, I’m very similar.

Yy3568 has most if not all of that, sata also and thats hard to find.

The a-10 is reenacting the blade runner scene “like tears in the rain”.

Worst case of blue balls I’ve ever seen.

Drones, yes. Infantry? Less so.

Dudes have to be well prepared, equipped, have solid Intel and the tanker has to either be stupid or have bad leadership.

The tanks should keep their distance and support infantry while keeping a look out on thermal for anything that gets too close. They have emergency features like trophy (it’s a explosion that shoots down missiles) but mostly they wait for infantry to find targets for them to blow up.

In tank-tank combat they often let their infantry fall back while they lock on at range and hope their gunnery is better.

F15s still hunger …
