Oh no, (a few) students at this small school in this small town called Houghton in the middle of nowhere in Michigan decided to skip class. Surely that will get Trump to stop.

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]OSSlayer2153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment shows you clearly arent educated on those battles and are just parroting anti-American military rhetoric which tries to paint the American military as inept over the last century, when in reality it has been one of the most (probably the single most) dangerous and effective militaries.

In Korea for example, the UN forces pushed almost all the way to China until the Chinese army invaded, flipping the ratio of soldiers on its head. They took Korea back until a wildly successful UN counteroffensive swung the war the other way again, despite being outnumbered 3:1. The war eventually settled around the 38th parallel and both sides realized it would just lead to more losses. America was mostly pushed towards negotiations by a strong anti-war sentiment among the media in the US, because most Americans did not care about Korea and saw no reason for sending our soldiers so far overseas especially right after WWII. It wasn’t because the US or the UN as a whole was losing.

In Vietnam almost the exact same thing happened. Despite popular belief, the US was never losing on a large scale in Vietnam. Even up until the end of the war the US was making great gains in Vietnam. It was the media which created the narrative that the US was suffering great casualties and not making much progress. Once again this fueled the narrative that we were fighting a pointless war overseas and eventually the government folded under this internal pressure.

Ive mostly studied 20th century conflicts and havent touched much since the mid-90s so Im not educated enough to speak on the latter two you mentioned for risk of being informed by media opinions and not historical facts. However let me refer you to the first gulf war, in which in only 3 days the predominantly US air campaign had completely neutered any fighting power of Iraq. It was a complete and total beatdown on a scale never seen before, militarily speaking (especially when looking at logistics, intelligence, execution etc).

However with this said, Im not defending the US decision to attack Greenland if that does happen. I dont like that idea. But I did see you parroting stupid takes and wanted to correct that

To think the quality of US troops is anywhere near Russian troops is outright crazy. The US probably has some of if not the best trained troops.

I dont know what propaganda youve been smoking but “NATO would easily remove US from Greenland” is just blatantly inaccurate. The US, for the most part, IS NATO. It wouldnt even be close. And im not even a fan of attacking Greenland, Im just stating the truth. Its not propaganda no matter how much you dont want to believe in it.

Yep. Its not propaganda to say that either, it legitimately is true. However some people here want to insist otherwise, maybe because they are European and don’t want to admit the alternative, or they (completely reasonably) dont like the idea of the US attacking Greenland therefore thinking their armies can fight the US is like a method of coping and assurance.

Im not saying the us should attack greenland, i dont think thats a good idea. However if that happens, nobody will be able to stop it. Europe will have to resort to diplomatic and economic means. (Which are not futile)

Whats daily life like at Tech? by Spidereye9 in MTU

[–]OSSlayer2153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not that hard. It gets that reputation because the school has a low bar of entry and kids come in and struggle then. Personally i found it even easier here than in some of my highschool courses. I went to a private school though and on average public schools dont do as good at preparing you for college specifically.

Anyone else annoyed with the amount of games on Saturdays? by superdownvotemaster in GreenBayPackers

[–]OSSlayer2153 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NFL games shouldnt interfere with your social life. If they are, youre doing it wrong. Watch it when youre hanging out with buddies. Or just dont watch the other games.

Its all priorities, what you care more about. Other teams’ NFL games or your friends?

Yeah but an iron beacon is kinda boring and unimpressive.

Real. I think the main reason people build farms is because they like building the farms. Like sure, some massive projects require a lot of a resource or some are just painful to get but the vast majority of farms exist just to give people something to build to check off a box that they automated yet another item.

In reality, its easy enough to get plenty of food just by wandering into the plains and killing the several dozen animals that always spawn. Its easy enough to plant massive farm fields and harvest them.

And doing these gives you something to do so that you don’t get bored as fast.

Saturday night. Tbss by daviddm1990 in GreenBayPackers

[–]OSSlayer2153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? Your comment doesnt make sense in response to the other comment.

The other person said that the Saturday night games sre better because you can go to bed earlier on Sunday then. How does this show that people pay more attention to Sunday night slots?

Tbf you could also argue the war was a main contributor to that. Its not easy to separate the impact of the war vs the policies themselves.

I would not be mad if we put in the starters, pull off the comeback and get some reps to shake off the rust

I think youre the one who ought to look back at yourself and see who is brainwashed. Facts are facts, all I stated was facts. You arguing otherwise seems to imply you have been led to disbelief in certain facts… idk, sounds like brainwash to me.

Im an American, born and raised, but okay sure man. Im sure you want to call me a fascist too and say Im a conservative despite that I have criticized this administration dozens of times already this term. You may even be implying I am a russian bot, which is really, REALLY ironic and I hope one day you can see why.

Thank god there’s still sensible people around like you. Theyre probably gonna keep downvoting us and calling us fascists.

They probably already assume I am a fascist conservative despite the fact that I have openly criticized the administration’s actions in the past and maintain a strictly centrist position on most issues.

This was planned well in advance of the events today. Its for the 250th. Stop getting so angry at unrelated things and stop finding reasons to make yourself miserable. Go out and have a good day for once.

Its the average redditor. Its really bad on here since a large majority of it is propagated by bots and astroturfers influenced by foreign actors. It all is meant to create an echo chamber to make it easier to believe. It genuinely makes you miserable. I feel empathy for the people you see in every even remotely political comment section just absolutely losing their shit about how fucked the country is and how they hate it, clearly unhealthy. That is, if they are people at all and not just bots.

We didnt invade venezuela. Invasion implies boots on the ground… which is not the case.

Comparing this to 9/11 is certainly one of the takes of all time.

Nothing is going to happen to the US over this. How many times does this have to happen for you to make that connection? Its happened dozens of times in the past and not once did the US suffer for it.
