    I've called for fire from an AC130 before. It's pretty surreal. You just name a target and moments later it magically explodes. You never see or hear the plane. It made me wonder how the opposition has the balls to attack us. You've got rifles and RPGs. We're magically explode shit over here. What are you thinking?

    Some shit definitely said by the good guy and not by an evil minion

      Also AC 130 is design specialized solely for raining death on defensless people, they are never deployed when the victims have even a rudimentary anti-air capability like MANPAD.

      I don't get how americans watch all the movie slop they watch and can't figure out people fighting back against imperialist aggression. It's literally the country's founding myth.

        Americans got mad at the Brits for forcing them to wait another few years before putting their genocide into overdrive, so this pretty much tracks

    It’s part of removing the focus on Ukraine. Russia is calling in its favors to create a new second ( Israel) and third front in the Middle East. The efforts are to embroil the US in its own quicksand then ,using more ammo and people, grind down Ukraine during the coming winter.

    Is the Middle East prepared to slaughter their own people for “favors”? If yes, how many more?

    Is Russia prepared to…. Oh wait.

    Why is it always projection: Russia's is using the backwards Middle Easterners to distract and weaken America. Russia is willing to fight to the last Iraqi.

      Complete inability to conceive of the idea that people resent us on account of the constant horrific violence we've visited on them for decades on end.

      Must be the ruZZians.

      This shit right here pisses me off to no end. Every world event is “looks like Putin called in a favor”

      It’s stupid and racist at the same time

      Absolutely bonkers thinking. Just totally convinced that everyone who is mean to them is part of a big cartoon villain organization that only exists because it doesn't like them.

      Also, notably coherent and unified political entity "the middle east" .

      Wow, it looks like the US should stop making its own quicksand. It's a matter of national security. If the US intervenes in the US anymore, then Putin wins

          You can't beat them unless you sink to their level in terms of devaluing human life.

          People develop a culture of heroism and sacrifice in the face of merciless foreign oppression and brutality over the course of many lifetimes

          Westloks: "dae they don't value life?" Wesloks: *drops a 1-ton high explosive weapon designed for killing the occupants of hardened military fortification on a preschool* Westloks: "it's digusting how they don't value human dignity"

          I'd walk up to a village elder and be like "I am the god of peace, but I can destory anything by pointing my finger"

          You can tell they're describing a personal fantasy and they're getting excited about it

        Is there a way I can do that? I thought that was what the bot was for.

          I don't know, I have seen some links to other front-ends to reddit, but they still end up blocked for me. Not sure if there is an archive somewhere. I stopped caring about reddit when they stopped caring about their users and mods.

    Dear liberals how can you denounce torture when deserving redditors still exist?

    CW: high readings of Hitler particles.

    It's a major point as to why negotiations are barely tenable in the Israel-Palestinian conflict:

    Israel is made of a majority group whose core tenets are focused on the celebration life, and doing what you can to ensure that you not only live, but live well

    Palestine is made of a majority group whose core tenets are focused on the celebration of death and the after-life, in that you should be focused on attaining the most "honorable" death possible to ensure a better after-life

    When the views on how to approach life and death are such polar opposites to each other, it's going to be extremely difficult, if not outright impossible to find a common ground upon which to negotiate.

    Edit: Since some people are immediately taking this as a comment of meriting one religion vs another religion, see one my replies here where I explain I'm speaking on a societal level, a step above the religious level.

    bonus cringe

    Just like Vikings. Just like Crusaders.

    Dae genocide of Palestinians is just like my hecking wholesome 100 crusadarinos.

    Seal anyone who's ever had a Reddit account in a drum, cover that drum in concrete, dump that in the bottom of disused mine, fill the rest of the mine with concrete, and leave a big sign so that future generations can know that this is not a place of honour.
