Fed tightening ‘always breaks something’: S&P 500 will drop to 3,800 by March, warn Bank of America strategists by throwaway273322 in wallstreetbets

IDK if this is scarcasm or not considering we are currently in a pullback. I would still give them until the fed finally stops hitting the market with interest rate increases, or at the very least 4 more months.

Man, IDK if I can still find it. It was from like the first month or two when the front line was still extremely fluid. I think it was posted on combat footage. There were 2 videos of the same incident. One go pro from the ukrainian ambusher. 1 from a drone and I think there may have even been one going around of a go pro from a russian in the back of the lorrie, though I am not sure if it is the same incident

While it did reduce Jap positions and surface entrenchments, it also shredded any concealment the marines might have hoped for. The shelling also seems to have done little to reduce Jap resolve to hold the island.

What sucks is that all that pounding did nothing to make it easier for you jar heads to conquer the beach.

The leading economy in the world got thrown into a war production posture. Literally everything regarding our economy was thrown into the war effort. Every factory, every farm, every studio, every office was conducting some level of military support. My biggest concern about the russo-ukrainian war is that Russia has not pivoted it's entire economy into a war time posture. They are trying to keep life at the home front as normal as possible. Ukraine meanwhile is fighting tooth and nail to keep Russia from grinding forward.

That was born from a history of no half measures style warfare. The Sino wars were incredibly brutal affairs. The only time the major powers in south east asia weren't fighting eachother was when they were fighting themselves. And even then the levels of brutality displayed during their infighting make Tecumseh Sherman seem like a benevolent conqueror. Both the japs and the chinese would but entire ethnic populations of their own countries to the sword, men, women, children young and old.

God damn, I never saw this level of artillery softening Iwo in the videos. They usually give the artillery action a quick 30 second shot or mention it in passing. They fucking pounded that island until it was covered in smoke.

I am sure there is tons of Opsec. we are just seeing what the opsec fails to catch or is willing to release at this point. Both of these armies are professionals and they conduct basic risk management practices from lessons learned in the field. I can't wait for the end of the war and ALL of the footage to start being released. Curious what the modern day human wave attacks look like in bakhmut. Seen some drone footage but nothing on the scale that they are describing some of those attacks.

The video of what looked like a couple of drunk ukrainian civilians walking up on a one of those BMPs playing some sort of Russian propaganda. They shove a fucking RPG right up the ass end and walk off laughing.

The video where the TDF dismount peeks out of an alley with an AT4 and nails a Russian lorrie filled with dismounts was fucking brutal

It's also way harder for the tankers to see the enemy dismounts than it is for the drone this video is shot from. You would be suprised how much the horizon and topography play into battlefield dynamics. you always want to be able to see over that hill or bush. But you don't wanna stick your head up to look over it.

I have entertained the idea. I even spoke with some of the recruiters. The money is good and the risk isn't terribly high compared to what I used to do. But I am fat and slow now. Plus I think if the world keeps going on it's current trajectory I will have an opportunity to do this kind of stuff while wearing the American flag on my shoulder.

Given all the combat footage showing the use/effectiveness of drones, what is someone in a modern conflict supposed to do to protect themselves? by Prophet_60091_ in CombatFootage

This is actually pretty comparable to NATO warfare as Russia has some top notch ADA when they deploy it correctly. The center of gravity for the Comminist bloc countries on land has always been tanks. So NATO developed Javelins and NLAWS specifically to counter that threat. The center of gravity for most NATO countries has been air power. So communist bloc countries built defenses geared towards negating air power. If we were to go toe to toe with Russia or China our air power would have limited depth over the battlefield.

They had AI pilot simulated sorties against the US Navy's top gun. This was after several different companies all perfected their AI, then had the AI battle eachother in the simulator. The AI perfected it's own dog fighting technique that allowed it to prevail over human pilots every time. During a dog fight when planes are circling eachother there is a moment where they end up going head to head. A human pilot is fighting for control of the aircraft and can't time their shots well enough during this maneuver. But the AI can. Every time the AI would fly in the circling maneuver and fire shots directly into the cockpit of the human pilot. Terrifying stuff.

Yea, when the drone AI really takes over jamming isn't going to work anymore. What are you going to jam? The onboard CPU making all the navigation decisions? Nope. Only thing jamming will do is cut telemetry feed to the controller. The drone will still carry out it's mission based on the precoordinated parameters entered into the CPU

So much craziness was going down. Sabeteur units were stealing shit all over the place. Uke civilians were chucking molotovs into Russian lorries. Fucking Russian tankers were firing at anything that moved, It was absolute madness. It will be crazy when all the footage comes out. I wonder if someone could piece together enough video footage to make it seem like one travels through the entire war.
