It is very depressing to see the ensouled and virtuous warhorse, even if Russian, destroyed by the sterile and anodyne FPV drone. Like the flower of French nobility falling to arrows loosed by coarse English yeomen at Avignon. 
 

One more reason to despise the Kremlin. 

Fuck the French nobility, but that horse shit is cruel, evil even.

A reminder that at Agincourt (my bad on Avignon), the English were shooting arrows at French people in France, which they had invaded.

Is there anything more obsolete in modern warfare than a battleship?

2 hours ago, TwiceHorn said:

Yeah, the need for anything bigger than a DDG is highly questionable.  The Ticonderoga class CG, now obsolescent, was originally considered a DDG and is to be replaced by more Burkes.

Cruiser-class replacements have been canceled twice.

Fucking hell. Capital ships in a time of overwhelming numbers of inexpensive drones 

Anybody within range of those large guns can probably send quite a few cheap aerial drones at that ship, not to mention the cheap sea drones that are coming online.

None of these guys got the G.I. Joe aircraft carrier for Christmas when they were kids so now they're just building their own sweet battleships.

Trump has the soul of a mentally defective European autocrat elevated beyond his competence. Fredrick William of Prussia tried to get really tall soldiers from all over Europe and breed them with tall women to make a giant army. Someone should suggest this to distract DJT from defense procurement.

Not sure which thread is the best for this, but this is un-fucking-real. Not only did this dipshit MAGA girl, who clearly wrote a god awful paper that the world got to see, get her grade changed the TA also was relieved of her teaching duties. I legitimately thought even OU would do better than this.

I love how in all of the battle scenes, every weapons systems is firing.   Missiles are launching, guns are blasting and lasers are lasering.  Because that would totally happen.  

The dogs were barking as the cars were parking
The loan sharks were sharking, the narcs were narcing
Practically everyone was there.

This fucking Trump class ship will never get built.

Yeah, the OSINT folks who focus on naval matters are saying there’s no facilities to really start building them unless they bump existing orders that are already paid for, authorized, scheduled, etc.  it would be a massive disruption for the shipbuilders.

I love that a fucking draft dodger, whose family never bothered to serve, wants a class of ships named after himself.

Worth mentioning that the English who invaded were also French

Knights and royals Normans, the Welsh Celts, and the English Anglo-Saxons. Roughly, by 1415 there had been a lot of jumbling. It was like 1000 years between the initial Anglo-Saxon settlement and Agincourt.

If we can allow the Irish to think of themselves as human beings, then we can let the occasional Englishman think he’s good.

Also when the Kennedy center renaming posts were happening, I meant to foretell that the next naval ship off the mine would be renamed to the Trump, but I don’t think I ever made the post and then he went and one upped me with an entire class of unnecessary ships. 
 

so I’ll get out ahead of this and say the new commanders stadium will have to be trump stadium. 

Fuck the stadium name. The team will be the Orangeskins.

Sometimes I wish I could find an interest in European history outside of my dad’s home country, but I always conclude it’s not worth the effort so I stick with learning about Pacific Peoples instead. Far more interesting to me at least and these people got along with each other better most of the time and thrived in some of the most remote places on the planet until white people showed up.

Got along with each other?  Man, you might want to touch up on your pre European Māori history. 
 

They could get their fucking war on. If you were drafting an army from scratch, they are potential #1 picks.

That art looks like the box for LEGO's or a Revell "Snap Tite" model.   Knowing his capabilities, Trump would fuck up aa kit with only 2 pieces & they wouldn't even be able to get them off the parts tree.
 
Didn't any of his idiot sycophants bother to say "Ummm... ¿sir?

"Battleships aren't really much of a thing anymore. It's all aircraft carriers & drones (aerial & submersibles) these days."

No, of course they didn't.

(shhhh... once he gets an idea, we don't wanna piss him off with actual logic."

I am aware of their history and when they fought it didn’t go on continuously like Europe because kings and queens treated war like a sport all the way into the 20th Century. The Pacific Peoples are more interesting and still treated each other better than the people that populated Europe, even in war footing time. The only thing they don’t have that the barbarians in Europe do is an extensive written history noting all the wars they fought on that continent.

I assume th creation of a Trump battleship is only to humor him. The navy spends a few buck to produce a desktop model so Trump can show it off to every visitor along with the future AF1. “And this is where all the missiles shoot out of the front.”

That is because they were on islands (a long way away from each other) and to your last point, sustained and large-scale war requires a certain level of technology and bureaucracy to include writing. As far as treating each other better, it’s a matter of perspective. Europeans generally did not eat people they defeated on the battlefield.
