This is what happens when your military is lead by whiskey leaks and the fat man.
With some friendly fire, that’s a funny term, like civil war.

Holy fucking shit, the “never shot down in combat” streak of the F-15 is over?
It’s not that impressive considering it came into service after Vietnam which is the last time the US faced an enemy with a real air force and effective air defenses. Not to mention the fact that the cheaper more numerous F16 has been the real work horse (and cannon fodder) of the USAF since then.
I did the calculation and not factoring any fuel, ammo or maintenance, or the missiles that shit them down, each of these planes was worth about 7,500 years of healthcare for a single person
About $300 million dollars shot down.
“Oops.”
missiles that shit them down
What a terrible way to go for those planes, though. :(
You mean that if I somehow collect 350mio you know about a scheme that would keep me alive and well for 7.5k years? I see the appeal of being filthy rich now…
But hey, on the plus side, that means US tax dollars will have to be spent replacing these planes and that will increase GDP!
I am all aboard the Keynesian train, government spending stimulates the economy for sure. Could we maybe try spending the money on roads, bridges, education, healthcare, or even just a stupidly huge purposeless gigantic monument instead of engaging in fucking omnicide
lol no way bro. There’s nothing more productive that an overengineered overpriced overpowered tool of destruction!
slaps roof of f-15 this baby here can fit so much omnicide in it.
Oh good I’m sure this will help lower the price of groceries and gas.
Well, in bad lighting, they can look like Venezuelan fishing boats, so …
So how is this supposed to bring prices down again?
How much does a fighter jet cost? A thousand dollars?
dammit i only have 699MM pepsi points
About the same as a banana
I knew grocery prices were bad but this is getting ridiculous.
F-15 or bananas the choice is yours.
I’m sorry, we have no bananas today.
Three thousand dollars?
Well, you see. If Trump gets enough US soldiers killed, or as he called them, suckers and losers, there will be less demand for products and prices will go down. Checkmate, economists!
Down?
Donald Trump’s fault. All of this is his fault.
Kuwait probably had their twitter account banned or they might have known
Kuwait right now
Yeah right and those two jets just fell off the USS Harry Truman last year, accidents happen! 🤷♂️
I’d say “call in the clowns” but we already did that.
Disgrace of a nation.
More please
This may be Kuwaiti protest against US operations there. Kuwaiti air defense friendly fire is official Pentagon claim, and 3 starts to break the coincidence explanation. While propaganda narratives are that all of the Gulf states are about to go full zionazi against Iran, they generally do not want to get hit more than to eliminate Iran. Abu Dhabi stationed US planes fleeing the region is sign of quiet cooperation with Iran to remove targets on their back.
