Bonus: IRGC spokesperson video
It has strong meme energy
Not the worst injury suffered by Abraham Lincoln…
Yeah, his brain injury wasn't very mild
Mid-air collision
Yes, that’s the intended outcome of firing a rocket.
It wasn't a rocket... Two KC135s collided. One made it back.

Elect a clown, get a circus.
This is what happens when you put a fucking moron in charge of the military.
...and above using MechaHitler Grok in their weapon system
The moron isn't allowed to start a war, as far as the Constitution is concerned.
Trump is the end result of ignoring the Constitution for many decades, he is what you get. And he's the dumb one
The constitution has always been ignored if capital deems it expedient
We had a good run, a solid century or two. In the 70s, the FBI would nail reps for taking bribes (Abscam).
Now, there's no reason to bribe illegally, we have Super PACs and shell companies for such things, and it's ALL LEGAL, so it's not even "corruption". GOOD JOB
Ah, but it's not a war, you see. It's just going abroad to blow stuff up.
Ironically the picture in the post is of a notably non-American MiG-29. The rest seems pretty on-point, though.
These freaking accidental accidents keep accidenting. It's so annoying
Really exposing how the US military isn't the perfect war machine the US thinks it is.
We perfected building a near peer military with Russia in mind. We build massive fleets of wildly expensive machines and great arsenals of similarly expensive ammunition. We made almost all of that shit overwhelmingly dependent on the supply chain of a flammable, nonrenewable, black fluid easily controllable by the nation we just attacked. One which has taken seriously the new lesson that such militaries are obsolete and top heavy. The way forward lies in small, cheap, autonomous suicide drones, cyber attacks, propaganda, and economic pressure. They're one of the few countries to take that lesson to heart. We have recently decapitated the competence of nearly every powerful system of our nation; political and military, and pushed our economy to the brink. We are led by hyper-overconfident, insecure, malicious idiots supported only by a cult minority of our population.
Not quite perfect is right. The rest of the world should bind together to pressure us, hard.
Real "me putting on a dress shirt after not working out for two years" hours
It doesn't matter. They have the capital and populace to throw into this meat grinder until they decide it's enough. We see the same with Russia, and soon we'll see the same with China. The world is getting too expensive and too crowded so the war machines are all starting up.
And thus the cycle continues; ad nauseam
The world is getting too crowded because of India and Africa. China's population has already reched its peak a few years back and is declining since. As long as India and Africa don't join any potential WW3, the global population won't decline.
If a World War were to break out, no chance India and Africa are to be able to sit on the outskirts.
I could go either way on this. Having a bunch of armed people and vehicles running around unfamiliar territory basically guarantees you're gonna have accidents. Heck, people die during training in as controlled an environment as we can manage.
OTOH, that amount of accidents compared to only a few acknowledged combat losses is a bit suss.
Shh, there's no room for rationality here! Obviously the US military, which is the biggest funded military in the world by several degrees, is collapsing because they're all big, mean, stupid, poo-poo heads and no other reason! Everyone knows the US is minutes away from collapse and absolutely doesn't have the strength to draw this conflict out for multiple decades despite the trillions of dollars spent to ensure exactly that outcome!
Most of that money actually does not go to ensuring that outcome, most of that money goes to ensuring Northrop Grumman execs can get a third infinity pool and bigger sex slave dungeon. If the money went towards what you're saying it goes towards, the USS Gerald Ford would have functioning toilets.
Five more KC-135 planes were hit on the ground in Saudi Arabia: https://www.turkiyetoday.com/region/5-us-refueling-planes-damaged-at-saudi-base-report-3216216
Nice
I just want to make everybody aware, that's not normal.
Planes only do this when they're very distressed
They just do that sometimes
Lmao is this real?
Lying is the only thing Trump can do...
