I'm not going to praise Trump, but we don't even get funny moments like this anymore. Everything's still getting worse, but now it's doing so smoothly and boringly.
I know exactly what you mean. Biden is just miserable incarnate 24/7. The only times he's been even close to as funny is when the universe decided to be funny and collapse that bridge right before his speech
do you fuckin remember when trump said a hurricane was going to do something and then the weather media was like "no actually new models say its not going that way, please prepare people!" and then to prove himself right trump got a big presentation board printout of the storm projection and then added the part he wanted with a sharpie and was like look here, see? I'm right!
Idunno, this is probably better though, the humorous absurdity of the trump admin probably mellowed me out slightly, at least compared to the everpresent miserable droning humm of the dems that has me welling up with more rage then I knew I could feel
Biden is only kinda funny when his dementia gets worse for a moment, just enough to break up the illusion, and then he goes back to "normal".
Like when he simply forgot the microphone was on (he was speaking on it 5 seconds before) and said "Yeah, more inflation is a great asset, what a stupid son of a bitch"
I actually laughed pretty hard at his response. He was like "It's a great asset. More inflation . . . . what a stupid son of a bitch"
Doocey doocey should ask him more question. Softball all the time is boring, I want him to go full Trump and interrupt the reporters
Biden has handlers, Trump has yes-men.
That's the only real fundamental difference between the two of them.
Exactly this. We wete still in the end times then, but at least it was like we were in some cheap rom-com set in a dystopic world. Now we're just back in a real dystopic world.
Of course my pre-covid nostalgia probably plays a part as well.
the silliest fascist was certainly more entertaining on average than the current necromanced throne-sitter.

Libs were just bitching for the sake of bitching. Its not like anyone cared about the image or anyone didn't already know the US had pretty good satellite imagery.
The fact that the exact capabilities of said imaging was made public is very damaging to their usefulness. These things are classified for a reason.
No one looked at that picture and thought: holy fuck I didn’t know America has good sat. Imagery. Lol
At worst it confirmed what everyone knew.
The actual day to day of this stuff is surprisingly technical and boils down to unbelievably minute details, like what frequencies things are being transmitted in, or exactly what colors are getting picked up, or what angle the images are being taken from. It's all kind of stupid, tbh. But that's apparently how modern warfare works.
I guess I should clarify that the main reason I say it's stupid is because the US goes to incredible lengths to make sure some very specific radar can't be jammed in some very specific situation, but then we'll leave our entire power grid completely vulnerable to some 12 year old script kiddie in the Netherlands.
Isn't this a perfect example? Because of the tweet, they were essentially able to confirm that the satellite wasn't a decoy or something?
When you know the exact capabilities of your enemy, you can optimize your actions to target those exact capabilities. In this specific instance, it is now known exactly how complete camo netting coverage needs to be to hide from the visual spectrum of US satellites. It is now known exactly how thoroughly you need to hide things. The question of "is X possible to hide with the resources we have?" can now be answered with much more certainty than before.
This is a general principle that applies to all military technology. If you know exactly what kind of armor your enemies tanks use, and how thick it is, you can very quickly and with little effort determine if any of your older missiles are obsolete or if it's possible to design a new kind of ammo for your existing guns to penetrate it. If you know exactly how effective your enemies countermeasures are, you know what you have that can engage and not just be throwing lives away when the chance of success is basically zero. You can avoid situations like the US Navy in WW II getting hundreds of pilots killed trying to attack Japanese ships with weapons they didn't know were completely ineffective.
The exact way this principal interacts with the specific technology doesn't matter. It always ends the same, you want to know your enemies exact capabilities, and you don't want your enemies to know your exact capabilities.
Yes, but it still is a good piece of information to build on.
Military intelligence is similar to trying to learn about far away stars and planets. You extrapolate as much as you can from very limited information. You can be pretty sure of anything you directly extrapolate from things you can prove. You can assume you are probably right, but not certain of anything you extrapolate from extrapolations. And anything beyond that is proposing multiple possibilities, and trying to filter between them.
If you can find direct proof of something you suspected three or four layers of extrapolation down, it shows that all those layers above are probably correct. Which frees you up to look down certain paths more confident you are on the right track, or tells you if you are looking in the wrong places. It also gives you the confidence to bet people's lives on that piece of intelligence being correct, which is what makes it useful and not just a classified circlejerk.
You think they'd be able to get good pictures of the alleged Uyghur concentration camps with these satellites
They used to whine about every thing Trump did. Like he wasn't listening. He didn't care enough. They had to dumb things down for him. Like anyone cares about what they say . They just want to start Iraq type wars everywhere.
I bet Biden falls asleep in 100% of his security bullshits. I bet he can't understand half of it. And is only awake when they talk about Ukraine, because they gave his son a cushy job.
Yet there's not a peep.:agony-shivering: :agony-consuming: :agony-mescaline: :agony-limitless: :agony-immense:
