    Late stage empire vibes.

    • Self-own your own IT infrastructure by pushing out an update on your overly bloated domestic security software peddled by your military industrial complex. Wasn't even an attack from a major cyber rival: you fucked this up all on your own.
    • Your space agency cancels their only moon robot because their contractors bled them dry. Meanwhile your main geopolitical rivals are building entire military bases on the moon.
    • You have astronauts stranded on a space station because Boeing, your only remaining domestic aerospace company, was taken over by MBAs and can't make airplanes OR space shuttles without endangering your own citizens.
    • Your two major political parties are so dysfunctional that one got through a whole primary cycle with a decrepit old man before realizing he was actually too senile for the job and now your political elites are forced to play their veto uno reverse card in the media. And the other party just had their candidate survive a homegrown assassination attempt by a slight neck twitch, only to turn around and start endorsing a public plan to dismantle your own government with their VP pick.

    And ALL of this in the past week, lmao.

        meanwhile the dei woke gays are the ones currently fixing the problem the failson cishet white guys created by taking m$ kickbacks to use their vulnerable software then mandating that the built-in m$ virus protection was insufficient and shelling out more money for a rootkit company to have control over critical systems

          This is so true. The intelligence community literally pushes Crowdstrike on companies that are “of national security importance”. You’ll have a goon monitoring your company FROM THE OUTSIDE call you up about the latest cyber attack that hit you and pushing this. So of course you buy because they know better right?

          All of those companies are hosed right now lol

          Does the US Military ever think about logistics? Great, now you can move a squad further, faster. But now you have two helicopters strapped together, plus the tilt system, and all of that needs to be repaired and maintained, you need to move parts and replacements. You've at minimum doubled the amount of ground maintenance your aircraft needs after every flight. And while that aircraft is being serviced for either twice as long or by twice as many mechanics it's not in the air, it's not ready to fly, so to keep up the same number of missions you need twice as many of them, or twice as much maintenance logistics.

          Does this read? I really think that with vundervaffen like the F-35, even if they could do everything they say, the US is setting itself up to starve due to the long, very complex logistics trains. The F-35 in stealth carries half the payload of an F-16 and needs several times as much maintenance, which means that any airfield or carrier is going to have to do vastly more maintanence on twice as many sorties to keep up the intensity of F16 raids. Which means if anything in the supply chain breaks they're gonna get real fucked real fast. And carriers only have so much space in them, so it's not like you can just add more planes, hangars, and fields. It seems so obvious to me that if the US actually tries to use these things the logistics network will collapse within days or weeks.

            The US Army highly logistics driven and its probably true for other individual branches (maybe not the air force). Its the MIC that keeps making wunderwaffen because thats the most profitable. All of those faults you listed are profit for the MIC. Extra ground maintenance is a private contractor making $300K to only fix one system on one plane.

            The F-35 was designed to save money by replacing +3 different fighter jets with 1 platform. The result is 3 different jets that share a shape and frame but literally nothing else.
