  • From what I understand, it’s essentially a long range artillery system.

    And yeah, it doesn’t completely destroy the helicopter, unless it’s a direct or near hit, but my god, from an engineering perspective, this craft is almost totaled. Ever single shot needs to be analyzed to determine if presents a critical risk to operation. Every ping on the rotary blades represents a new location for stress concentrations and likely failures. They will have to replace all of the blades, all of the panels, examine the entire engine, transmission, etc. the costs associated with this are astronomical.

    Can they still fly it? Possibly, but no nation that values their pilots and flight personnel will ever risk it. That said, it’s Russia…it may be operational by next Tuesday.






  • So…I think it’s pretty self-evident that Israel knew about the plan by Hamas to kidnap Israeli citizens, and purposely let it happen to have an excuse to attack Palestine. Seeing that they’ve pretty much gotten away with genocide without too much fuss, they’re hedging their bets that they’ll be able to just steamroll Syria without any international resistance again.

    I think they’ve majorly underestimated how much the world is going to condemn this. It was one thing to “protect it’s citizens”, it’s another thing entirely to outright invade another nation.

    I’d be shocked if Europe doesn’t sanction Israel. They no longer see America as an ally. Hell, this attack is going to shut up a lot of those “Israel has a right to defend itself” chuds in America as well.


  • No, it’s intended to show their real intent. He has an entire PR team dedicated to trying to make him appear intelligent, competent, and in control. However his actions speak so much louder than words. He’s barely able to contain himself. Luckily, his living flak jacket that he wears around is learning to speak and his hilariously repeating all of the things he says in private.
