German airports are immune to planes landing from the front, and require at least 5 American or Russian planes to land before they catch fire. In addition, German airports can land planes from over twice the distance that American or Russian airports can land them. Germany only loses out to the US and Russia in airline traffic because the Americans and Soviets outbuilt them using so many cheap, useless airports. Finally, German airport generators don't run on fire-prone gasoline or diesel, like American or Soviet airports. Instead, superior teutonic benzin is used.
 
I think I've made my case clear.

"im telling you, the planes just kept coming, we toke on maybe 10, no 20, no 50, it was 50, planes before we caught on fire
 
It was a conscious and well made decision of quality over quantity" 

Or we could just build XB-70 airliner derivatives like tool using hominids.

You're supposed to care because it's supposed to be something you care about, because if you care it makes them money. The news isn't about informing you, it's about monetizing your attention span.

Say what you want about the PLA
 
But they definitely got the camo down for when they go to war in minecraft 

Everything from extraction to storage and distribution is going to monitored, in exchange 3/4 of all centrifuges will be shitdown, and all but one will old types, the last remaning "advanced" one will be for research purposes. Enrichment is limited to 3.67%, signigantly below medical grade of 20% and far below 90% needed for a good nuclear weapon. Basically 90% of Irans uranium has been confiscated and they're strictly limited on maximum storage.
 
The US signed this deal so it could have influence on Iran and personally open up negoatiations. If they refused to take part, the US would basically lose out on having any input on the deal, which the remaining Euro members and China would have gone through with anyway. Iran would have gotten a better deal if the US did not participate, serious.
 
Further, the US likely is seeing a sea change for ME politics - Saudis don't seem to lan on being reliable partners for long, and while Iran does fund terrorists, they're not Wahhabists like what SA churns out. Wahhabism is the direct root of basically all islamic extremism right now, and the US can't make headway in important foreign policy matters when your own "ally" is undermining you. Iran is less worse bad faith actor, it's people are signigantly more cosmopolitan and wish to be part of the global economy, and while interested in regional hegemony, they are more so in a nationalistic, rather than religious sense ala SA.
 
Further, Iran is simply in a good strategic position, has a competent military (no really) for the region, and is likely to moderate over time due to stability combined with an increasingly secular population.
 
What I am saying is, fuck the Gulf States, Kurds, Turks and Persians are the better choice.

We were thorough when inflicting the horrors of our society on you.

That feel when you adopt a full power rifle cartridge but try and use it like an intermediate 

The failure modes on men are pretty destructive all told.

I get sad when video game makers confuse me, a military-fascinated immature manchild with sexually frustrated immature manchildren.
 
So sad.
 
But seriously it is kind of annoying having other peoples' sexuality intrude on you.

The method of defining the measurements is largely irrelevant to how useful they are.
 
The ease of dividing by 2, 3, 4, 6, or 12 on the other hand...

Wait, you mean to tell me that the foot isn't defined by the Five Dollar Footlong?

Despite protestations to the contrary, America is aligned towards aggressive action against hostile nations and non-state actors. Attacks and damage to national morale will engender a response in order to restore the national feeling of tranquil military superiority. The same psychological tendency that leads to wars being fought to restore a national feeling of pride in military capabilities can also be harnessed to encourage greater morale by giving military personnel in all specialties a feeling of actualization from operational action and success.
 
The psychology of combat troops is contradicted by operational experience and statistics, before combat the soldier routinely overestimates the danger of wounding and death despite even major battles rarely reaching a 2% casualty figure. Therefore, morale is an important component of the capability of combat soldiers to achieve a concrete impact on opposing forces and therefore the battle. The increased combat capability from combat experience happens at different rates for different soldiers, but it is important that each soldier remembers their importance to the overarching plan and the overall force.
 
Training is a vital component of readiness for soldiers, and it helps professional development and the accumulation of experience that starts them closer to the higher levels of combat capacity demonstrated by veterans. Constant vigilance by soldiers as engendered by training allows avoidance of adversity such as ambushes, and prevents the combined arms team from operating below maximum capacity. Operationally, failures of sentries stand out as a prime example of how greater training can prevent major unnecessary losses.
 
The army as a whole is a team that must work together in order to be successful, the importance of the combat actions of soldiers are nearly always overshadowed by the realization of synergies between forces and the mutual multiplicative effects on effectiveness. The high training and readiness levels of American units the world over is a major guarantor that the odds of success are decisively against any opposition they may face.
 
It is essential that every man in the army be reminded that their job is important and must be done. Laxity with only minor effects from one man would be calamitous from thousands. A reminder that every job in the modern military is essential provides esteem-boosting actualization that will ensure any vital tasks can be accomplished quickly and successfully despite adversity or opposing action.
 
A culture of bravery under fire must be created among recruits and the traits that make a successful military professional should be identified and encouraged.
 
Even a task as seemingly insignificant as repairing communications gear under fire may prove crucial in battle, and it is important to empower the troops to actualize their goals and frame their actions in the context of overall success to ensure positive action under fire.
 
Convoy actions are another example of even traditionally non-combat soldiers showing great bravery under fire and the professional pride to ensure successful completion of combat-essential tasks despite great fatigue and operational disorder.
 
It cannot be denied that actively engaged soldiers would prefer a cessation of hostilities, but the fastest route to the end of a conflict is identification, isolation and destruction of the opposite side's center of gravity. By destroying the control structures keeping the opposition organized and able to fight, aggressive action allows a shift to a stance of deterrence and prevents losing strength to long drawn-out conflict and the resulting decline in reenlistment.
 
Aggressive action directed towards opposing forces allows the modern military to leverage its information-centric strengths and position itself inside the opponent's OODA loop, gaining control of the battlefield and preventing the opposition from slowly accumulating damage on our deployed force.
 
Despite fears of untried soldiers, aggressive action and devolution of decisions allow the warfighter to fall back on their training to combat the opposition and maintain effectiveness.
 
It is essential that rather than terrain-focused reactive strategies, continual pressure be exerted on the enemy's center of gravity and forces in the field to prevent effective counterattacks.
 
Because of these factors a high operational tempo must be achieved and maintained, and it is essential that no matter the adversity the serviceperson to continue to perform their responsibilities despite difficulty, opposition action or even, in extremis, wounding.
 
While units require individual identity and other factors to maintain high espirit de corps, secrecy must be maintained to prevent disclosure of capabilities to opposition planning elements. If handled properly, soldiers will be reminded of the capabilities of their unit and that those capabilities will provide a particular difficulty for the opposition.
 
By showing how important a soldier's contribution is to overall victory, morale can be boosted by providing actualization of the personal traits that led to enlistment.

For Iran, because that's the only ones left flying them.
