2020-02-09 at 11:47 PM UTC in ACQUITTED FOREVERArtillery in this context often refers to tanks, airplanes and ships as well.
These things do the killing in war, your rifle is a personal defence weapon. Which is also among the reasons they now use .223 caliber instead of .308. If you have a building you must clear you call in an airstrike or wait for the tanks.
Artillery only works when you don't care about collateral damage. Look how efficiently the Warsaw Uprising was suppressed. There's no need to suppress an uprising when you can just destroy the city instead.
While the second amendment today is weaker than it has ever been, it still serves it's purpose. Unless the US is willing to do what's pictured below to it's own population. In Warsaw they had no second amendment, they set up shop in garages making Sten guns instead.

2020-02-07 at 2:26 AM UTC in Dump idiot TrumpStop it with your stupid word games. If Bill Clinton didn't have an affair, he wouldn't have gotten to the point of impeachment. Same fucking difference. And same game. Republicans were looking for a way to remove him from office. They were having a tantrum back then same as democrats are having now. He sodomized the sacred office blablabla. In the end it doesn't matter, he was a good leader.

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Not not at all, check your history, Russia made the greatest contribution to Hitlers defeat…the result would have been the same without the US, Russia would have streamrolled over the retreating German army and took Berlin regardless. It might have taken a little longer but the result would have been the same, re: Germany's defeat.
The main contribution as far as as the US goes was avoiding post world war Europe being Russian as I'm sure Stalin would have kept going.
No I'm talking about WWI here. That's when Jerusalem and Palestine fell to the allies.
Russia quit WWI in 1917. If it weren't for the Americans replacing them, it'd be pretty bad.
Even in WWII, people forget that majority of the trucks, steel, ammo, gasoline, steel and jeeps that the Russians used, came from the US. Shipped via the middle east or some of it through the arctic. Again meddling. Fact is Russia would've never been able to make the push to Berlin without US help. They'd have to walk.
Hell that's one of the reasons why the US was never actually neutral during WWII. The Germans were being killed by US equipment in both Russia and in North Africa, long before the US officially joined the war.The United States delivered to the Soviet Union from October 1, 1941, to May 31, 1945 the following: 427,284 trucks, 13,303 combat vehicles, 35,170 motorcycles, 2,328 ordnance service vehicles, 2,670,371 tons of petroleum products (gasoline and oil) or 57.8 percent of the high-octane aviation fuel,[32] 4,478,116 tons of foodstuffs (canned meats, sugar, flour, salt, etc.), 1,911 steam locomotives, 66 diesel locomotives, 9,920 flat cars, 1,000 dump cars, 120 tank cars, and 35 heavy machinery cars.
From wiki. 2000 locomotives and half a million trucks can move a lot of soldiers. And who knows where Russia would be without the four and a half million tonnes of food and two and a half million tonnes of petrol. People forget that wars since WWII are won by the internal combustion engine. Or hell even here the steam engine. Your gun is useless unless you can get it into position.
Originally posted by Speedy Parker The French and British would have won without the US involvement. It just would have taken another year. The Germans lost World War I at home due to economic unrest and lack of support for the war by the civilian populace. The Ottoman Empire was in it's death throes and Jerusalem was not theirs to start with.
US involvement started in 1914. They sold to the Brits, but couldn't sell to the Germans. If US didn't supply Britain, WWI would've been over way sooner. The US supplying Britain is why Germany started attacking American shipping. If you don't meddle, you don't get attacked.
Again, there's more ways of killing Germans than sending soldiers. US was in the business of killing Germans from 1914-1918 and 1939-1945, as part of the New World Order. -

A10 is still overkill for majority of missions. A10 is made for attacking convoys of Russian armoured columns. You'll find no such thing in Afghanistan in this day and age. When attacking single infantry of attacking squads of soldiers, you need something slower so you have more time to aim. They needed something that could stick around in the area for much longer while providing extremely close support to special forces on the ground. The A10 is too big and bulky for this. Jet planes use too much fuel too quickly at those low speeds.
The USAF adopted the Brazilian made A29 Super Tucano for this role. Yes, the USAF recently adopted a simple propeller plane for combat.
Even then, when it comes to jet fighters, they can learn a lot from the Russian MIG programs. If waste of taxpayer money was corruption, America would be the most corrupt country in the world. -

Originally posted by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Maybe they could buy Mig29s from Russia?
Lots of countries make excellent fighter jets. Try SAAB of Sweden. UK, France and Germany all make/made their own planes too.
Alternatively they could focus on improving already proven designs. The F35 was made to fail anyways, the future of air superiority lies in anti-aircraft and anti-missile defences as well as drones. The most expensive part of a fighter jet is still the trained pilot.
Even then there's no need for such air superiority. Any enemy that America's been dealing with in the past 70 years could've been dealt with just as easily, and more cost effectively, with WWII fighter planes. Hell, a few years back America almost brought back the P51 mustang as a ground attack fighter to replace the A10 warthog.
US military spending is insane. They could learn a lot from Russia, who has 1/8 the military budget of the US, but still rivals the US when it comes to military capability. This actually fucks the US in an all out war, because their military doesn't know how to operate without a budget. Though I guess in Russia they roam the countryside kidnapping farm boys for the motherland. -

The power of insinuation is often misunderstood. You can tell the truth, but insinuate a lie. Yet you're cleared of ever lying. -

You know what happens when only rich live in a certain area? The price of getting someone to fix your sink increases. Making the sink repairman rich as well.
Unless you have a bunch of Mexicans living in vans in the area. No wonder the rich are all pro-immigration. They want cheap labour. Pro-immigration folks are the real racists. -
2020-02-01 at 3:53 AM UTC in California SB50 dies in senateThey discovered an old clause in many land titles where I live. The land titles say the properties may not be bought by those of Asian or African heritage. Of course they cannot be enforced anymore due to anti-discrimination laws. But could this be a solution?

Originally posted by Technologist No Paige, I don’t think so, but his base is made up of a lot of uneducated white men.
What's with this hate on uneducated white men? Also you're confusing uneducated with unschooled. Knowing how to grow a damn good crop of wheat is among the most important skills that requires an education, but that is often taught by fathers to sons outside of the school system. Also, would you call a native who knows how to identify all the flora in the forest, and hunt and gather his own food, uneducated? These skills are often taught generationally.
This is the type of ignorance among democrats that got Trump the election. You have very little understanding outside of your own subculture. -
