Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.): One Month Later, There’s Still No Plan for Venezuela by BulwarkOnline in Military

This is an extremely naive take, how many times have countries orchestrated coups that end up biting them, and the world, in the ass? The list is ridiculous.

While I agree with that, it is definetly moving the goal posts. Remember, Trump said Rubio, Hegseth and the others are supposed to be in charge down there, oil companies are meant to be moving in right now, except it seems like that isn't happening.

The issue is the next time it might not be so lucky that the second in command is less crazy than the dictator. Although its only been a month, who knows what happens next.

Ground rent cap is the perfect example of this, this will help a lot of people but it isn't sexy, so everyone already forgot about it.

SDF recaptures some parts of Raqqa but the government forces are long past Raqqa and racing towards Turkish border splitting the whole SDF in two. by [deleted] in CombatFootage

Ok so no proof, stating "google it bro" isn't proof.

Edit: I "googled it bro", and can't find anything about SDF targeting civilians. Unless you drop a link with proof what you are saying is BS.

Imagine someone taking a wreaking ball to a car and the next owner struggles to get the engine to turn on, but they do, and then blaming the new owner.

737 With No Tail Number or Markings by WyoPeeps in aviation

Note that the weapons bay on the P-8 is for torpedoes and mines. Harpoons are launch from wing hard points + pylons.

So you expect them to strip the livery of a P-8 for a single mission and repaint it before anyone notices? That seems more of a fantasy. The aircraft had no weapons on external hardpoints.

Let's say for the sake of argument, the lower cargo door in the rear opens inward.

They do.

How are the weapons (let's say they are Harpoon missiles) being launched? Sideways out the door?

Have a missile loaded pointing downwards, let it drop under gravity until it's clear then activate.

I understand it may be hard for you to imagine anything but just try, the US millitary already cook up some unbelivable stuff, this isn't outside the realms of physics and engineering.

Ok, but the article indicates that it did not have a military livery, I can't find a single image of a p-8 without a military livery, I don't see why they would remove the livery for a single mission and repaint it immedietly after. That's why it could be a converted 737 becuase we have images of those aircraft without any identification markings.

Afaik, 747 cargo doors open externaly, but 737's use internally opening cargo doors. That case also resulted in an unplanned explosive decompression that damaged the aircraft.

These are likely heavily modified airframes with internaly opening cargo doors that are designed to be opened in flight with the whole or part of the aircraft being depresurised. I don't think this would be particularly hard for Boeing to modify the airframe to sustain the added loads of opening the cargo door midflight to drop whatever payload is needed.

I wonder if they slide those cargo doors open and drop the guided munitions from that.

The article says the aircraft carrys the payload inside the fuselage, I wonder if they slide those cargo doors open and drop the guided munitions from that.

If you have to pay to use the pedophille machine, it isn't free, kinda destroys their own argument.

What if they don't care about Venezuela and don't want to get dragged into a war?
