        Eh, poodles can be quite large and surprisingly threatening underneath the fluff. Australia is more like a bratty chihuahua.

          Alright, allow me to get a little more specific, a toy poodle that hangs out in the purse of a rich old lady. Bratty Chihuahua also works

              Wait each soldier personally, or in general due to orders? I thought it was less burning and more shooting?

                  I don’t think your my comrade, I think you just want to revenge kill people who didn’t commit the original crime. You talk about justice, but you don’t care about the details, so I don’t think you really care about justice.

      Do you think the dictators of the US know they’re fucked? Like obviously working class libshits keep spewing about “huhu they’re gonna find out why we don’t have free healthcare” but like, the bourg has to know, right?

        What exactly do you think is going to happen? I really don’t think you comprehend the absolute ridiculous amount of funding that we divert from everything else into the military industrial complex. American strategic policy is to be able to simultaneously wage four full-blown continent spanning wars at once spread around the globe. I sincerely doubt that a bunch of pissed of Yemenites threaten the American military industrial complex. Yemmen may be a thorn but the US is a lion. Thorns discourage lions they don’t stop them.

          Bruh they nearly run out of artillery ammo on a single proxy war. Entire US military is geared towards bombing defenseless countries and siphoning that “ridiculous amount of funding” you said into pockets of war profiteers. US military is exactly the same costeffective as US healthcare.

            The US has over 700 bases worldwide. This is for rapid deployment of forces. Those bases are stocked. The issue of supplying Ukraine with artillery munitions isn’t that we don’t have the munitions. It’s that we don’t want to touch our stockpile and we never will as it’s not to be used except in the case of all out war. Since we are not an howitzer based artillery dependant nation, and we are not directly at war with Russia we don’t exactly have much of our logistics pointed to production of those munitions as howitzer based artillery is an antiquated tertiary weapon platform. So we gave away the excess supply we had and now industry is retooling to meet the new orders for artillery production.

              And why do you think that is, genius? It’s because America and NATO don’t have the industrial capacity to replenish those shells in time.

              Since we are not an howitzer based artillery dependant nation

              Reality doesn’t work like that, there’s no such thing as an army that doesn’t rely on artillery in a land war unless you can get away with having air superiority against a nation that doesn’t have their own air force and air defen… do you see where I’m going with this?

                I’m glad you mentioned that last point about air superiority. Could you do me a favor and remind me which country owns the first largest Air Force? The second largest Air Force, and the third largest Air Force. Oh right that’s the USAF the USAAF and the USN.

                  I see that irony is not your forte. I’m trying to tell you that the US cannot get away with the “air superiority” tactics they did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc because countries like Russia and China have a lot of air defenses and their own air forces. Do you get it now?

              XD this is why they have no ammo because for them the primary weapon are political bribes and drones which are good again weddings, and other tools of terror and “short victorious wars”.

                Ah yes, because when we invent a slap chop missile to minimize collateral damage, that’s a bad thing. Obviously it’s less efficient. Obviously it cost 200 times as much as an artillery shell. Clearly the logistically superior tactic is to fire a 120 mm artillery shell into a civilian crowded area and obliterate the entire wedding instead of just one car. Oh right, that’s what you don’t like…

                  And that’s why it’s prioritized over artillery shell production, this way the MIC gets to launder more money. You’re almost self-aware.

          US is a lion.

          More like a paper tiger.

          I don’t know where you get that the US is « ready to wage 4 continent spanning wars » but last time I checked, most of US wars since ww2 ended up in humiliating defeat against third world countries with barely any Air Force and no way to strike back at America directly.

          Nobody takes the American military seriously after Vietnam and Afghanistan. Nobody here thinks Yemenis will be in Washington tomorrow. All we’re saying is this will turn into a quagmire that the US will eventually lose just like Afghanistan or any other war the US has participated in after WW2.

            So you agree with my summary that it will be a thorn. One that will be swiftly forgotten once we are no longer standing on it. The US has a monopoly on violence. I’m not saying it’s justified. I’m stating that it’s wise to not pick fights far above your ability to punch.

                I don’t think your definition of lose and the American definition of lose quite align. The American objective is to inflict violence until the annoyance stops. Once the annoyance stops we have won and we leave. Long-Term stability is irrelevant. The cost in human life is irrelevant.

                The only relevance is whether or not the American public wants to see more violence doled out.

                  Literal US defense department cope.

                  Once the annoyance stops we have won and we leave.

                  Ha yes, the US totally got what they wanted in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Etc. And that’s why they left.

    Though, I’m curious if the US will actually go to war with Yemen (and end up like another Vietnam or Afghanistan situation) or not due to this report being a thing.

    The US and allies have been attacked in the region 130 times since October 17th. This was inevitable, they should be glad it wasn’t worse.
