    Taliban is literally going to have an air force soon because we left one there with the Afghan government. And right now NATO is negotiating funding with them, like "if you don't attack the embassy, we'll send you (the Taliban) foreign aid once you're in power!"

    The US remains winless against peasant farmers since the Civil War.

        I'm also not sure I believe that. You don't want to make it so your plane can be bricked remotely because that would be a huge fucking vulnerability to your plane. EVERYTHING in an airplane should always have a manual option.

          Fly by wire planes probably do have complicated software, but I knew some people who "modernized" the A-10 Warthogs and they left in the manual controls and bypassed them. Not sure if true for F-15s or any other plane but I'm sure they get at least some goodys

      NATO negotiating aid with the taliban should've been happening over the last decade. Like it was always inevitable they'd be back in power, America could've at least tried to leverage their current position to negotiate for guaranteeing some civil liberties they were claiming they'd protect.

      The trillion dollar decapitating jet was actually a clever trap against the Taliban.
