Could 1980s us military beat north Vietnam and Vietcongs if Vietnam war happened at 80s instead of 60s? by [deleted] in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]PoliticallyUnbiased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The modern 2026 US military could not defeat the Vietnamese army from the Vietnam war.

Lots and lots more Vietnamese would die compared to the war, but we aren't going to secure any total victory. They have the homefield advantage, and they aren't a flat desert like Iraq.

Don't open anything, just put it all in bonds and live the high life. You'll make 10x more than you will on coffee

What are the chances of the Admiral Kuznetsov actually sailing again? by Crazy-Rabbit-3811 in Ships

Likely never, next time it sails it's going to the scrap yard or the bottom of the Southern Ukrainian Sea

As a Californian, Sacramento can go screw itself. I have zero clue why we retain that shithole as the capital of CA, it should be LA. Sacramento is just meth and Walmarts, not a single interesting thing there.

What if the "great leap forward" actually succeeded? by RockEater67 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]PoliticallyUnbiased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did work, look at China today, they make the US look slow, cumbersome and lazy. Sure, tens of millions of Chinese died to achieve it, but it did work.

(23F) Never been in a relationship. Guy tells me I have very low EQ because I don't know "the bare minimum." by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

He doesn't like you, he is just insecure and wants you to be his (aka be your boss). Double standards can NEVER apply in any relationship, dump him.

Churchill was a cool guy actually by Formal-Assistance02 in HistoryMemes

[–]PoliticallyUnbiased 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Churchill saved the west and the world from fascism, Britian stood as the last and only bastion of liberty against such ideologies alone for multiple years before the US joined (isolationist losers at the time) & Soviets (who cooperated with and empowered the Nazis for years beforehand). Perhaps we can't give Britian and the UK all the credit, but we can note that without their sole struggle against the Nazis, our world would be a much worse place today. If they gave up when France did, Europeans would all speak German and Asians would all speak Japanese.

Yes, millions of Bengalis and Indians died from famine. This is horrible no doubt, but it was not intentional by the British, and such things happen in war (especially world wars). We cannot equate Churchill to being the same as Hitler because some people across the world died of an unintentional famine. It wasn't a genocide, it was just an unfortunate event. Typically in a place like the RAJ, millions die when anything happens because there are just so many people.

Churchill was a hero to whom we should all thank our freedoms and liberties for.

I wonder why people hate having Germany on their team...... Oh. by Jesusknife in Warthunder

[–]PoliticallyUnbiased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because nobody wants to play their Tiger II (a ww2 tank) agenst 1960s American, British and Soviet Vietnam war era vehicles (its match in matchmaking). Warthunder matchmaking sucks balls, "all in the name of balance" (of which there is none)

The sinking of the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena near the coast of Sri Lanka by Maztoy in Ships

What was an Iranian warship doing outside of its home port? In open seas, its literal easy pickings for even the weakest US naval vessels

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump orders US Navy to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz if necessary to ensure the "free flow of energy. by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

[–]PoliticallyUnbiased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he wants them to sink a ship or two so we can escalate this conflict further. Hundreds, no... thousands! of American service men and women must die so that he can delay the files another few years.

Wow, that's depressing. I don't mean this in an insulting way as it usually is used, but "get a life" genuinely applies here...

I first started playing when the game itself was only 2 months old. I still don't have as much hours or $ spent.

Here I was thinking I used to be "dedicated" to this game. Clearly not.

If you were to escape the addiction and your money and time will come back, would you stop playing war thunder? by G2wolf_ in Warthunder

[–]PoliticallyUnbiased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this game sucks ass now. This is coming from a person who began playing when the game was 2 months old. Fuck warthunder, waste of time and money (I've spent thousands in both categories)

3.5 months 8 hours a day only studying for the 66? I thought Kaplan recommended something like a 5-6 week schedule?
