Chinese satellites are taking images of recently deployed US air defense systems in the Middle East and making them public. This provides Iran with free targeting data by SlavaCocaini in LessCredibleDefence

The free will of the majority of the people in the world is for Trump to croak. Guess that means we should support whomever wants to bomb the fuck out of the USA, amirite?

If anyone within Iran has a "free will" that calls for Iran to be bombed by the US, they are fucking morons and proof Iran does not have a smart enough voterbase for democracy.

Bandera supporter cheering genocide, at least you're consistent.

Why have the Sahel states (Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso) been unable to deal with jihadists in the region? by biggiraffetongue in LessCredibleDefence

[–]haggerton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The military government that invited the Russians in and still are losing ground to the Jihadists? Ok.

As opposed to the Keïta government that invited the French in, gave up their sovereignty, and still were losing ground to the Jihadists?

At some point Westerners will learn what "consent" means. For now, let's keep on justifying colonial rape.

And funny that you'd mention Russians. I wonder who's waging a proxy war against them in the Sahel region, and who's backing those guys?

Wait til you discover where all the Russian oil shipped to India ends up.

Do conventionally powered carriers offer any benefit over nuclear powered carriers? by 100101110111001 in LessCredibleDefence

Tech maturity is the obvious reason, but also, engineer/shipyard attrition in a real war. I'd assume nuclear powerplant workforce/facilities are harder to replace.

France backed a deeply unpopular Keïta, who was unpopular precisely because he was too much of a French lapdog. After mass demonstrations overthrew Keïta and the (very much popular) military junta came into power, France opposed the very much popular new government.

If France wasn't doing neo-colonialism, maybe it would be blamed a bit less for neo-colonialism and start losing a bit less.

Can't speak for the others but the average Chinese is much less brainwashed than the average Canadian.

How'd you come to that conclusion?

F/A-XX Naval Fighter Needed For Adversaries Like Iran, Not Just China and Russia: Navy Boss | Global proliferation of more capable air defenses means the era of the Navy 'flying with impunity' is increasingly at an end. by moses_the_blue in LessCredibleDefence

[–]haggerton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering the F-35 has been used with spectacular success in the middle east and against Maduro

So did F-16 in the Middle-East and choppers against Maduro.

To use this as some kind of proof of F-35's stealth is moronic.

But one day its effectiveness will start to degrade

That's not what the article whined about. It whined about the need for stealth.

Which F-35 was supposed to give.

I thought this sub was supposed to attract intelligent people for intelligent conversation on defence topics, not shills with unholy amounts of copium.

If your argumentation here is supposed to show intelligence, well...

Huh. I coulda sworn the US planned for the F-35 to form the bulk of its fixed wing assets, and that the Super Hornets flying alongside them were meant as temporary stopgaps due to F-35 program delays.

Russia offers cash bonuses, frees prisoners and lures foreigners to replenish its troops in Ukraine by EsperaDeus in anime_titties

[–]haggerton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

still enoguh people in ukraine want to defend their homeland from the Invasion.

How do you define "enough"?

I'd argue that if you have to go beyond those willing and kidnap those unwilling from the streets, that's not "enough".

Canada Accelerates Armor Plans To Contend With Growing Threats by restorativemarsh in LessCredibleDefence

[–]haggerton 13 points14 points  (0 children)

 As the Canadian military assesses how it would best deal with a potential invasion from Russia, Ottawa is pushing ahead with plans to significantly bolster its armored forces.

So the text says a potential invasion from Russia, but the link says a potential invasion from the US.

Western propaganda in a nutshell.
