      Whats on the image has to be satire right? They are literally describing all the issues Russia is having with their equipment, then asking why they can’t fight the US with their superior gear.

        True. We saw an F-22 Raptor at an air show a few years ago, and it was mind-blowing. I didn’t know that a jet could do the things it was doing. I didn’t even know it was possible according to the laws of physics. The thing flies like a UFO, flying saucer.

            i’m fortunate enough to have seen one, as well as numerous other historical planes. The dayton air museum has an f22, the streak eagle, and quite a number of other historically relevant planes in it’s collection as well. Incredible place, it’s in ohio, but other than that, its great.

            You can spend literal days just wandering through that place looking at shit from ww1 to the cold war, and even space travel.

                i can’t say much about that one, but dayton air museum if you’re ever around the midwest area is honestly one of the best places you can go. Historically it was a pretty strategically important location so it’s had a lot of presence in the past. And it’s pretty big as a result.

                although if i had to guess, that museum is also pretty good as well.

                The Udvar-Hazy air and space museum annex near Dulles is actually the best part of that museum. Check it out!

          The F-35 is a result of a UFO on the American diet. But it can do pushups!

      Fun fact, bees don’t fly. They’re so small the air is like water for them. So technically they are swimming, hence the different wing design

    Reminds me of the latest Adam Something video. Russians are raised from birth with ridiculous amounts of “Russia Fuck Yeah” that’s just pure triple distilled victory porn, and posts like that are the consequence.

        As an American, American jingoism in films does make me laugh. Like we are the only ones who can save the world.

        Does Russia have films like that?

          Well, there’s books like that. The idea seems to be that the problem with Nazis wasn’t the whole genocide thing, but rather the fact that they invaded Russia. So let’s do this: go back in time with modern equipment, ally with Hitler, and march on London and bomb Washington.

        Start from American movies, then add a bunch of historical rewriting and fighting Nazis everywhere and you’re getting close to Russian level movies from what I’ve heard.

        My favourite line from any of the Grand Theft Auto games is from a radio ad for some movie that ends with “Rated PG for Patriotic Garbage”

      As a non-American, how is that any different from America?

      Many big countries are basically the same, with the belief that their armed forces are “the best”, with hours of pop propaganda around how their marines or special ops are the best in the world.

        You’re not wrong. Americans have a lot of “America fuck yeah!” energy going on, the difference really would be that when we break from that mentality and start going “what the fuck America?” we don’t get arrested and put in jail or forcibly conscripted into a war we didn’t ask for.

        From what I can tell, America has better access to alternative viewpoints and the ability to express them largely without fear.

        Well as s non american I feel it’s quite simple : the USA has an incredible potent war machine, so if their citizens think they have an incredible army, then they are more or less quite correct.

        Russians on the other hand just smokes copium and have fever dreams.

          It’s true for military stuff but false for many many things that they’d still insist is the best way to handle things. Mass shootings is an anomaly that’s completely normalized there, sometimes it’s not even worth a media footnote.

          And there’s a strange thing about shooting presidents every once in a while
