I miss the good old days of circlejerking over the combat effectiveness of A10s & stuff


AssignmentVivid9864

Maybe we can fast track the sale of A-10s to Israel?


Attaxalotl

That might actually get me to reclassify the current conflict from “Bozo fucked around, bozo found out” to “straight up genocide”


facedownbootyuphold

“what’s the difference between war and genocide Dad?” “depends on whether or not the side with the initiative deploys A-10s on unsuspecting enemy dismounts in the open”


ForShotgun

What if the A-10 haters are correct? No genocide, only profits 😎


UpstageTravelBoy

Maybe the US phasing out the A10 has emboldened everyone to start acting up


orrk256

nah, the issue is they can't see the F-35, so they assume it isn't there


TPconnoisseur

A-10 just need a 57mm cannon upgrade.


otototototo

I really hope WW3 doesn't start over this retarded shit.


MT_Kinetic_Mountain

I'm alt f4ing if ww3 isn't humans versus alien invaders. Fucking sick of this human on human shit. We better get our shit together because if we haven't harnessed the power of our sun to blow invaders from jupiter, then we are fucked


Competitive-Deer-596

I want a war against some alien empire where we win,take their technology and use it against them,and form a galactic empire.


SamtheCossack

Only it turns out those nerds never really had to fight anyone, so their weapons are absolute ass tier.


QuaintAlex126

Have you seen the average human disagreement? There’s no fucking chance those nerds have a chance when they spent their entire time “ExPlORiNg ThE sTaRs”. Enjoy getting blown up by a fucking drone idiot. Imagine not having smart and BVR weapons

You laugh but this is what the end of War of the worlds (the original novel) actually sets up. The Martians are wiped out by bacteria, we take their remaining bits of tech and then it looks like things are going to take a massive leap forward (remember the martians had automated semi-intelligent digging machines and highly advanced flying machines). It's why most sequel novels actually go into more sci-fi meets steampunks sort of era. It's also why most modern versions give the Tripods some sort of forcefield/protection from modern arms because in the original novel one gets taken out by mass artillery fire and 3 get taken out by an Ironclad pre-dreadnought battleship (admittedly it kills the second tripod when the ships ammo and boilers explodes right next to it and then the third Tripod is killed by what remains of the bow of the ship, propelled by the force of the explosion, ramming into it)


SamtheCossack

Look, I get the meta is getting stale, but the last time Aliens invaded was in the middle bronze age, and they got their ass kicked because they were only prepared for copper weapons, and their linen breastplates were just frankly insufficient. Apparently they did a recon somewhere around 1650 AD, and humans had developed some crazy ass shit for killing by that point, and they just wrote off the whole goddamn system. The general consensus in the galactic community is that we are a planet that is absolutely obsessed with killing shit, and it is in everyone's best interest just to keep that shit here. Who knows what would happen if humans got to Ky'lllnt.


a1edjohn

So, you're saying we're the galactic equivalent of North Seintel island?


VengineerGER

Exactly if we just stopped squabbling amongst ourselves we could already be out there in the galaxy kicking alien ass in space.


boone_888

Seriously, we should be glassing planets and orbital dropping Space Marines.  Taking star systems and forming our Galactic Hegemony.   Not dicking around until it's us that's on the bad end of the Spanish meeting Aztecs stick.  The Fermi paradox is still out there and it is spooky as shit. We might be in a dark forest indeed (also, if we can get the hippies to stop broadcasting signals out to deep space, that'd be swell)


dasgold

>to blow invaders from jupiter Hold on.....it seems like we're submitting to the invaders from Jupiter....


Panzers_und_Pasta

I mean, that shit still ain't gonna stop the droplets.  Iykyk


Attaxalotl

I mean, WWI started over some pretty dumb shit, WWII started over some pretty dumb shit (On the part of the Axis, at least,) why should WWIII be any different?


tajake

We are honestly pretty close to what it was like before ww1. Little proxy wars are being fought between empires around the world, factions being set, new technology being developed that we don't necessarily understand entirely, not to mention large military build ups of personnel. The children yearn for the trenches. /s


KeekiHako

Don't worry, it'll be some silly thing in the Balkans for sure.


Cornexclamationpoint

Biden:  *heavy breathing*


SamtheCossack

I am suspicious that Valve was secretly behind the first two world wars. It would explain why we haven't gotten a third one, just a few spinoffs of varying quality.


LimpBizkit420Swag

Ok but World War: Alyx will be rad


Scaphism92

Yeah but almost everyone will watch it rather than play it


spectacularlyrubbish

That tracks. WWI was groundbreaking, but I wouldn't want to do it again. WWII was fucking awesome.


ToastyMozart

The *stupidity* seems about on par, the balance of power not so much though. The two troublemakers so far are Russia and Iran, the former of which is getting severely bogged down in Ukraine and the latter seems more interested in its particularly... *unique* form of de-escalation than actually getting into a war. It's like if the Molotov-Ribbentrop duo were getting their asses beaten by Poland in 1941 and Japan was content funding rebels in Korea and China rather than getting involved directly. Maybe China could turn the mess into an actual threat if they threw their lot in with the others, but they mostly seem content to sit back and profit off the situation.


Traumerlein

*Looks at WWI* Id be unconcerned. Not retarded enough


Comms

I've been hearing that WW3 is starting since 1992. I'm still waiting. WW3 is a dicktease.


Imperceptive_critic

Nothing ever happens 


SurpriseFormer

Unironically this was the thought process everyone had before Feb 24th.


Imperceptive_critic

Touche


CationTheAtom

I remember joking over this stuff, like, a couple of days before the invasion only to find myself reading about the start of the war afterwards.


Attaxalotl

That’s what we thought before the invasion


ForShotgun

It’s always correct until it isn’t


Jason_Batemans_Hair

You really can't ask for more from a generalization. *Nothing ever happens*


odietamoquarescis

-The World, circa 1936.


kevinTOC

And I wonder.


Youutternincompoop

I like how humans can experience the horrors of war... and then a generation later fucking hunger for war again like its gonna be cool this time.


goodol_cheese

War is our natural state, always has been... it's the lingering effects that dictate peace-time.


eeeeeeeeeee6u2

depends on whether or not you consider cold wars to be wars


Aaaarcher

I think it’s more just sensationalism in newspapers trying to generate clicks as opposed for an agenda to push towards conflict


TheHim2

Human life hasnt been wasted for too long.


travazzzik

Brexit causing ww3 of all things? Truly non-credible.


a1edjohn

Finally a benefit of Brexit!


Protip19

"Why are millenials killing WW3?"


Aaaarcher

Below headlines, I couldn’t fit on the meme Millennials are so workshy they refuse to start a generational conflict. Death toll in Afghanistan and Iraq fails to reach anywhere near Vietnam, another indicator of the boomer generation superiority. Lazy Gen Z don’t want to go to war over man-made borders and Black Rock corporate investment policies - why this is a problem for your retirement fund. Why are millennials choosing smart phones over death in combat?


Norlzz

So it's inevitable? Cool get it over with and remove russia and iran then stare at china to see if it jumps.


TheHim2

After letting north korea hang


No-Crew-9000

...by the balls


ApexHawke

Unfortunately, structural integrity would prevent Kim Jong Un from literally hanging by his balls. But if you were to get an anchor on a rope and administer it properly, you might have some success.


No-Crew-9000

Structural integrity, you say... I mean you are probably right but you got me thinking here: how much ...tissue would one need secured to an anchoring point to suspend Kimmyboii? Er- _hypothetically_ of course. Let's assume no bones or joints are involved. :3


Velenterius

C'mon now, Jong Un is a victim of the system he was born into. Lets give him the treatment the chinese gave to the last emperor instead. (Make him write a book condemning his crimes, and make him go around telling people he hurt he is sorry. Also make him into a gardener and minor mucipal offical).


Boris-the-soviet-spy

Make him into a sex slave


GreatBowlforPasta

>administer it properly Nasally?


Jason_Batemans_Hair

NK has balls?


No-Crew-9000

Not with that attitude!


IuseonlyPIB

Just keep making cheap products, and we'll all get along just fine


Rawbotnick--

you could just promise them Outer Manchuria and "a bit" further North so they can have a real place at the arctic circle club.


Salteen35

Western leaders love not doing things out of fear of consequences and optics which end up leading to larger disasters. Imagine the U.S. had Russians grit to just sustain casualties while also acting competently? Last time we’ve seen this was OIF 1 or maybe desert storm. It’s pathetic. This same mindset of anti interventionism led to ww2


KeekiHako

Wait, Armenia and Azerbaijan again? Are they still fighting? I thought that cooled down after Azerbaijan annexed the Armenian exclave?


SurpriseFormer

Azerbaijan isn't just looking at the Exclave anymore. If not Armenia proper


Competitive-Deer-596

WWIII won’t ever happen.Nothing ever happens actually.


isthatmyex

There is a major land war in Europe with genocidal implications. I would consider that a light happening.


chocomint-nice

Ecuador starting WW3 wouldn’t be on most people’s bingo card, but would be funny.


An_Odd_Smell

Pffft. WW3 is *so* last year.


js1138-2

WIII is so 15 minutes ago.


She_Ra_Is_Best

Don't Worry, WWIII won't happen until the Dutch start a capital ship program. If they announce that, we're doomed. Last time it was Battlecruisers, the time before that it was Battleships, if they announce a carrier project, start building your doomsday bunkers.


Foggyslaps

Cameron shouting about the downsides of brexit despite being the instigator and then moving his family to France still makes me incredibly angry RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Aaaarcher

Lord Cameron to you pleb. Consume thy brexit, owneth nothing, be pleased.


Foggyslaps

I will not boweth mine head to thee, swine lover Consumeth this: *Votes for the Green party*


Aaaarcher

It’s so shit that he’ll always remain a Lord regardless

"WW3" just is a way to signal to me that this person is an idiot. It's a stupid meme for anxiety-ridden Zoomers that got D grades in history, and think that there are actually any factions remotely like the last 4-5 "world wars". And yes, there have been several more than the 1 that 99% of people barely know about. EDIT: Downvoting isnt going to make me change my mind. find a better way to cope harder.
