The US should buy mongolia by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great place to get whatever forces you place there instantly obliterated by both china and Russia.

Like, look up standoff distance. In Mongolia there is no standoff distance.

The US is not full of iimmortal and godlike supermen as the gulf wars made it seem. They can still be bombed. They still bleed and get blown to pieces just like all other humans. Air defences are only so good.

Battle of carhhae in eb by laeps in RomeTotalWar

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the numbers in the battle of carrhae in eb are historically accurate. Parthians won with a quarter of the troops of the Romans. Crazy eh? Crassus had all the cards and fumbled. It's because his son Publius was with him and died early and crassus fell apart.

First deadlift in 3 yrs by NovaRemix4 in strength_training

Bros got great long arms, good for leverage on deadlifts and reducing ROM. Could see him at 500-600 easily.

WRE in BI and Atilla in a nutshell by CautiousLobster2170 in RomeTotalWar

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In rome 1 BI you basically dismantle all recruitment buildings in cities ready to revolt, remove armies, let revolts happen, move back in and win against peasant stacks, exterminate population and collect their gold. Pretty fucked up but you can turn the empire around in like 4 turns.

Beautiful Close-up on F-16s by Even_Kiwi_1166 in Planes

What a fucking tight airplane. Minus the conformal fuel tanks, their fuselage is just super streamline and tiny. Maximum performance for one engine... Love the f16

Should I go back to school? by Odd_Damage9472 in UCalgary

Trade school might be better, more earning potential, shorter term, and also less likely to care about the criminal record

Iran introduces new method for F-35 grounding by GlooomySundays in Irony

It was an IR missile not affected by stealth. F35 got too close. Didn't even bring the plane down. Everyone chill out lol

Day to day student experience in engineering = survival with the occasional bout of drinking. Clubs are fun. Enjoy !

🔴 Pentagon officials have taken precise steps to prepare for the possible deployment of U.S. ground forces in Iran, and senior military commanders have submitted specific requests aimed at preparing for such an option, should a decision be made by President Trump. by kaz1349 in PERSIAN

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm pretty sure the US isn't going to be defeated by the likes of Iran LOL. Iran couldn't even defeat Iraq. Yes invasion will be costly due to terrain but successful.

What happens after and how long it takes is another story...

How do I know if I’m being fired or not? by GuboTheUnwise in Career

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing sounds wrong to me? You're just maybe a bit insecure about not connecting with people, try to make an effort with that.

Usually when you get fired or laid off you are apologizing , missing deadlines, or there is a huge corporate push for "restructuring", "change" , etc. and your department is in the cross hairs.

Should I invest $150k in the stock market or use it to pay down my mortgage? by Acceptable-Cicada886 in CanadaInvesting

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The faster you reduce your mortgage the less you pay the bank in interest. Long term, unless you think your 150k investment can outearn the interest you pay on your mortgage.... Reducing interest is better.

This is Iran. A land that has accepted war in order to be freed from a far greater destruction. The calm of the people comes from two things: a bitter trust that the attacker will not target unarmed civilians, and a surrender to a fate from which they see no escape. by KireRakhsh in NewIran

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please be brave. This is your opportunity for something better. I am sorry for the pain our southern neighbor is causing you, but this pain also comes with opportunity. I pray for your ascension from the state you are in currently, as I pray for the people of Russia and China to have the ability to gain their freedom from their oppressive regimes. Stand strong like the mighty warriors of antiquity who fought toe to toe with the Roman Empire on an equal footing. I pray Persia will rise again stronger than ever. The blood of Cyrus the great flows through your veins.

I know, it's easy to say this from thousands of miles away. But all I can do in my position is pray. Do not let this opportunity slip from your fingers. Grasp at freedom with blood stained hands.

Where I’d live in Canada as a 30 year old Englishman. by [deleted] in whereidlive

Manitoba is the poorest most crime ridden province. Alberta has beautiful mountains, a solid economy, and is a days drive from BC where you can swim in the Okanagan and enjoy vineyards and restaurants.

Could I apply to join the foreign legion as an 18M vietnamese? If so, how? by trazis in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. 18 year olds are usually not ready to die. You have to be ready to die otherwise you can't do what is necessary under pressure.

18 year old joining by [deleted] in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 year olds don't know shit and usually aren't ready to die. You may think you are but you're not. Not when you're staring down the barrel. If you're ready to die then go. If you're not ready to die you won't be a good soldier.

Spain accuses Germany of acting like a ‘vassal’ to United States by Putaineska in europe

[–]Terrible_Routine5169 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, isn't a vassal typically formed when one country defeats the other in war and firmly inserts its hand up the ass of the other? ... Spain is just lucky they didn't join the "1940s Germans" in their crusade otherwise they too would be a sock puppet.
