/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

Many advanced systems (such as the F-35, HIMARS, Patriot) have software and hardware that is controlled, updated, or encrypted by the US. This can indirectly act as a "switch," because allies cannot freely reprogram or modify the systems without approval from the US. They could shut down the entire Western defense capability if they wanted to. Most often, Washington limits capacity through policy or hardware configuration prior to transfer (e.g., by limiting the range of HIMARS in Ukraine). It's not a "remote control," but it achieves the same effect. Communications and networks (Link 16, GPS, etc.) are also under US control and can be shut down or restricted in certain areas, giving Washington leverage.

Buy Swedish.

Why are modern US soldiers such pussies? They constantly moan and complain about ptsd because they served a year as a drone operator that bombed dudes from an air conditioned room 3000km away from the front.

WAKE UP. OPEN YOUR EYES. THIS IS WAR PREP 101. WHEN THE SLAUGHTER BEGINS, THESE SITES WILL BECOME GROUND ZERO FOR INTERNMENT. THIS IS HOW GREAT POWERS PLAY. 2020 WAS A TEST RUN. THE 'CHINA VIRUS' LIE AND VAX MANDATES, WAS TO NORMALIZE LOCKING DOWN, TRACKING CITIZENS' MOVEMENTS, AND TURNING NEIGHBORS INTO INFORMERS. THESE WERE PSYOP DRESS REHEARSALS FOR MASS SUPPRESSION. 'NATIONAL SECURITY' WILL BECOME THE EXCUSE TO ROUND UP CHINESE-AMERICANS WHEN THE WAR STARTS. CHINESE COMMUNITIES AND "NONCONPLIANT" CITIZENS ARE THE PRIMARY TARGETS. THIS ISN’T PARANOIA. WARN YOUR COMRADES NOW. WARN YOUR CHINESE COMRADES NOW. SPREAD THIS BEFORE THEY FLIP THE SWITCH.

Next time a Finn starts bragging about how they 'won' the Winter War ask how giving up 11% of your country's landmass to your attacker constitutes a victory. The seething is hilarious.

It's even more hilarious when you mention the billions -adjusted for inflation- they needed to pay to the USSR after WW2 for reparations.
I dislike Russia as much as anybody else.

I just dislike the Finns even more. I've never met one that wasn't completely insufferable.

My ideal world involves every Finn and Russian killing each other.

I get it, the Finns have low standards for what the word victory means. No need to sell me on why they're such a shitty country!

An automatic shotgun with a short barrel and heavy lead shot would have saved that guy that got buzzed in the first clip

Drone warfare, it's like a new God of the battlefield now standing side by side with Artillary

these are CJNG-FEM camouflaged sniper, and drone operator with night vision goggles- FEM is actually designed as a bodyguard unit for El Mencho, whom is very paranoid about not getting caught.

These tools have gotten millions of people killed in this century alone. How does that make you feel?

Black bloc is a well-established tactic where participants wear a simple, affordable uniform to make identification difficult for law enforcement. Wearers may extend it with basic safety gear in riot police are likely to be present with "less lethal" weapons. For example, motorcycle helmets, protective goggles, gloves.

One of the disadvantages of black bloc is it can visually alienate the protestors from non-participants. It becomes easier for mass media to frame them as scary outsiders, like professional criminals or terrorists, not regular members of society. Another issue is that basic safety gear is compatible but not implied, so having a uniform including this gear by default could make protestors safer.

I wonder if worker PPE is a viable alternative uniform. Is this an idea which has been tried? Surely I can't be the first to propose this. It's familiar, suggests the wearer has a vital worker role in society, and is capable of providing some level of protection by design. I'm not familiar with the different-but-similar yellow vest protests so I don't know whether there are any media optics vulnerabilities to be aware of or any other issue which came up there.
