In November, 700 Intercontinental Weapons Were Launched Against the USA?

Concur.

 

Hit-to-kill missiles have out for a while, but it's good to see that they've been scaled down to deal with one bean at a time without having to wait patiently for them to come out in the open.

It will make weddings somewhat safer.

 

"When people get into trouble - they send for the sons-of-bitches."

A quote often miss-attributed to one Earnest J King, FADM USN.
It fitted him so well that when asked about it by a very brave, very foolish, or very attractive female junior officer he quipped that he only wished he'd thought of it.

I tend to take the word of my nation's enemies about their intentions.
Play stupid games?
Win stupid prizes.
Wedding Party Airstrike are three words that one SHOULD NOT normally string together, but we've managed to crash those parties quite often over the last 25 years, often killing more than a dozen people at a time.
Before that it was carpet-bombing - two MORE words that should be disassociated.

Precision Bombing has been kicked around since the end of the War to End All Wars. The Bomber Mafia, is the title of a sorta-kinda accurate book written by Malcom Gladwell. Part of it describes a close-knit group of American military men who believed that long-range heavy bomber aircraft in large numbers were able to win a war - a concept that's been roundly rejected by any passing glance at history.
Still - precision (surgical?) air strikes remain the military's favorite fantasy even in the 2020's.
They are equivalent to a phaser set on stun....AND (thus far) about as technologically achievable.

The ONE TIME that daylight precision bombing wound up being the knock-out punch was conducted in a nearly 14-year old WORLD war.
Only racist westerners think that Dubbaya Dubbaya Too started in 1939.....

One bomb was precisely delivered one time to one target - riiight?
Nope!
It took two atomic bombs delivered to Imperial Japan and the second one so badly miss-aimed that it DID unintentionally do more damage to a legitimate military target, and less to the city (Nagasaki) that was targeted. A third strike was planned and scheduled as soon as that third core could be delivered.
Meanwhile, Japan's military conducted a (real, not fake!) insurrection that only failed because they could not find the Emperor's capitulation recording.
It was hidden in, LITERALLY, a concubine's quarters.

People are selective in the things that disturb them.

History justifiably laments the tens of thousands of people that were killed in two atomic raids in the summer of 1945, but nobody seems to recall the quarter million people that were fire-roasted in Japan's paper cities the previous spring when we started using napalm instead of TNT or Amatol.

Falling blades of death from a drone?
War only comes in two flavors, and so anything we can do to limit war fighting's human effects, I'm here for.

 

Nope.
The DNC and the Fourth Estate have that covered......

 

There's a reason why people in the military study history.
Actually, there are TWO very GOOD reasons.

War is a human constant. To understand history is perhaps to discover ways to amerlorate the people-cost - to say nothing of the cost in treasure and natural resources.

War is also the most efficient form of Darwinism, especially since it usually involves very young and very male humans.
If you don't study history....you might not get have much of one.

William Tecumseh Sherman famously said "War is Hell."
Bill Sherman isn't really very popular in the Deep South, even today.
Before he burned Atlanta (he ordered it evacuated first) he addressed that city's council saying in part:
"You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace."
Sherman understood the concept of TOTAL WAR.
If you're going to fight a nation, you have to take that fight to the people who elect (or are subjugated by) the leaders of that nation, and thus there are very few 'non-legitimate' military targets.

Bill also understood politics.
His other oft-quoted if slightly misquoted quote is:
I hereby state, and mean all that I say, that I never have been and never will be a candidate for President; that if nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline; and even if unanimously elected I should decline to serve."
After 150 years, a 'Sherman statement,' 'Sherman speech,' or the 'full Sherman,' is American political jargon for a clear and direct statement by a potential candidate indicating that they will not run for a particular elected position.


SO...
Keep that money going to Ukraine whilst telling everybody how evil human beings are!!!!

 

Unfortunately since I'm not wealthy enough to avoid paying federal income taxes, I am most assuredly helping pay for part of the war in Ukraine, as well as relief for some of the civvies that are left.
Southern Baptists have deep missionary roots in that part of the world from before the series of unfortunate events that led us to start paying for offensive weapons instead of the 'non military aid' we used to send them a couple of Presidents ago.
