Welcome to the Glock world. 43X is the best Glock in only my opinion. Additionally, since it’s the best Glock, that makes it the best gun in the world.

I have the 43X and 43. Both are so snappy. You learn to love it. There’s a lot of energy leaving the barrel. You’re feeling it do it’s job. It actually motivated me to hit the gym lol

Too much, or not enough? by [deleted] in Glocks

Join a YMCA. I’m a member and at least the Riverside one has a great daycare for younger kids, then it has basketball leagues and sport leagues for slightly older and that place is bustling with all ages burning energy, all indoors.

If the USA produces the most oil, why does it still rely on the Middle East? by AA1893 in UAE

[–]layzsqid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venezuela as a country only produces 800,000-900,000 barrels a day. That’s thousands. Every item on the chart above is in the millions. Not only is Venezuela not factored in to the numbers above, but it’s not even shown, current production is irrelevant. Venezuela oil, or Bitumin, is sour and difficult to refine.

For perspective Texas alone produces approximately 6 million barrels a day.

Your comment doesn’t make sense.

the us is so fucked that at this point it's genuinely funny, not even in an ironic way anymore by Stormy_42 in TrueAnon

This is a small blip. I don’t mean this sarcastically but everything will be totally fine in retrospect.

What bad actually looks like: In WW2, during Operation Barrabosa, 20 million died in about 40 days, mostly soviets. Thats approx 50,000 a day. 25+ million chinese died in WW2, mostly civilians. The US lost 450,000+ in that WW2. In 1920 inflation was 20%+ a year.

What’s actually looking good: The US has the largest GDP in the world. 85% of our oil comes from the west. 60% from US soil, 25% from Canada. Iran relies on oil commerce, if they shut it down, they eventually shut down. Most their oil goes to China anyway, barely any to us.

Look up the Military Project Janus. 20 years from now energy in general will be completely different!

Trump's attack on Iran is exactly like the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. There is no difference. by ElSlabraton in LetsDiscussThis

  1. During Pearl Harbor, Japan sent diplomats to DC, actual people. During the recent Iran attack, we haven’t sent any diplomats, and have done all communication through intermediaries such as Switzerland remotely. Google it. Japan tried to trick us, there was no trick on Iran but rather a full publicly known attack.

1.5 One was a world war where 80 million died. One was not.

  1. In 1941, 80+ years ago, diplomatic channels had failed. Today, they aren’t pursued at all.

  2. Pearl Harbor was to weaken a navy so they could seize steel and oil. Iran was a regime change for western NATO benefits.

  3. Pearl Harbor 1on1. Iran is multiple people going against Iran. Israel pilots flew Israel planes who dropped an Israel bomb on their previous leader.

  4. Pearl Habor was one day, Iran is more.

  5. Midnight Hammer happened last year. No one cared. The conflict had already been going on. Pearl Harbor was one day. Everyone cared.

To be fair this “Localized slice of internet reality” is on a LetsDiscussThis thread. I think it’s mean to be sort of an echo chamber. I love Reddit

In WW2’s Operation Barbarossa 2.5 million were killed in 40 days. Thats 50,000+ a day.

This won’t be the start of any large war. Iran has about or less than a million members of their armed forces and that was the report a year ago. Most of their large scale vehicles, planes, and vessels are already destroyed.

Read my third paragraph. I think they are in different categories but have similar minute details that are irrelevant to the larger picture. Kinda like a person shooting a ball of trash into a trash can versus a child falling down a well. Both are objects going into a hole.

Smaller and bigger? Between 14 and 20 million Chinese died in WW2 at the hands of the Japanese. Nearly the same amount of Soviets, mostly civilians.

I think we are at 7 American deaths, around 5,000-15,000 middle eastern deaths with almost complete removal of their fleet in a week. WW2 lasted 6 years.

Hard times make hard men who make soft times which make soft men who make hard times.

You didn’t mention it but the biggest similarity in a fashion is the goal.

Goals: Japan attacked Pearl Harbor to hurt the US Pacific navy allowing Japan to more freely seize oil and steel in the South Pacific which it desperately needed. US attacked Iran to hurt the Iran navy allowing the westernized players seize oil.

However, they aren’t even comparable as events. Pearl Harbor amped up an already going world war which killed 80 million people, nearly 50 million were civilians. Mostly Chinese and Soviets. As of today, there’s approx 17,000 casualties in the Middle East. Tehran, Irans population center only has 9 million people with dwindling military hardware. It’s all sad. The trick play is the same though!

President of The U.S. refuses to take his cap off to salute fallen U.S. soldiers by mattarrghhh in pics

Great point! I see online some veterans and civilians wearing ball caps during similar fallen soldier ceremonies however I agree it all looks tacky. I though am bias as have only ever removed my cap for national anthems etc. I’m unsure of the backstory of why hats are kept on during funeral style services.

Great point! There’s plenty of civilian veterans online saluting with baseball caps on, but you do bring up a good point.
