How I understand War Games go US Generals: "Okay, you're not allowed to do this, this, or this. And DEFINITELY not this." US Soldiers: "Why not?" US Generals: "Because the other side can't." US Soldiers: "So let them do it and we'll do it too." US Generals: "No, I mean they're not physically capable of doing it."
As a European it does hurt to admit that the US has to clip the wings of their F22 and then feed it a bottle of absinth just so any of our shit can keep up. If the US truly got its shit together and stopped fucking around with clowns for president we'd have some sci-fi shit flying around right now.
Yep. "Oh so-and-so have beaten your F22 in war games" Yeah. With his drop tanks mounted and his missile bay wide open. They could only *detect* let alone engage the kid because he had training wheels and a high-vis vest on.
They put special fresnel lenses onto the F-35 that dramatically increases its radar detectibility during the War Games. They also use drop tanks and other things to hide just how effective the jets are. Then the Generals essentially force limitations upon the pilots to make them the underdog, so they can actually try to learn stuff. If they outright dominate from the start, they'd learn a lot less.
the best BS war game was the one with the famous "we sank a carrier with a diesel sub!" what they dont say is the sub was allowed to leave the area at anytime but the carrier couldnt, the carrier could not launch scouting aircraft till they knew the sub was in the area, and finally and the biggest WTF they were not allowed to use active sonar, you know the thing that carrier groups are constantly using because its basically impossible to hide a surface fleet that big? yeah they were essentially hog tied and kicked in the balls that war game and still made it hard for the sub to win.
Hungarian here. So sorry that you see us as frenemies, but its justified, our current leadership is licking Putin's boot. Wish we could get rid of them but they cemented their power so hard we are like european north korea.
I think most Americans these days don't have a beef with the people of any nation apart from how there are so many evil dictator types that aren't getting the Julius Caesar treatment.
protest? I mean, I don't think either of those dicktators can actually outrun you, right? They're like Hippotators. They do less dictating and more self-stuffing than any other dictators in history. Literally! We have to go back to the Tudor era to find one of their proportions... Or, pray for heart-disease and diabetees, I guess. Either way, they're going. But if you really want to make em go faster, just protest a bit. Maybe just the thought of them having to jog away from protestors will be enough to make em resign. :)
Turkish guy here, same goes for us. Our current leader is leaning too far away from the west and frankly, most of us don’t like that… except for a good few too many islamists and hardline rightwingers… and farmers. Damn farmers. Hopefully the next elections could change that for both our nations.
They do contribute a fair bit in NATO, and positionally, they're really hard to beat on "we need this location as a part of NATO", so they play that card a bit too. They just have a very different cultural basis for things, and they've had a downward spiral on general relations with the rest of NATO particularly since the 2016 coup attempt there. How much is internal dishonesty vs external is hard to guess, but the human rights concerns, degradation of democratic rule, and outright purges leads to a bit of a contentious tone.
F* yeah, truth! My uncle's stories about how the Turkish troops saved his unit during the Korean conflict would have you staring at the walls all night, looking for the Turks melting through them..
@@xxpoisonblxxNATO does appreciate them for the no warships access to the Black Sea they are enforcing. Which is funny as they are currently building a modern frigate for the Ukrainian navy in a port that is already in the Black Sea. I find that hilarious
Respect to Russia for trying to level up. I mean, it'd probably be better to try that on its military, but *meh* if trash talk is what you can work with, get your self-improvement done where you can.
they wont level up, corruption is too much there...even with the 100bn they will spend next year, 50% of that will go to yachts, dachas and lamborghinis..
It's American doctrine to intentionally lose war games because you don't learn much from steamrolling everything, but you learn a ton of stuff when you lose. Losing wargames makes us a better warfighter.
Aren't those warganes set with absurd handicaps? Stuff like "our radar doesn't work, our coms are compromized, and all our casualties are dead rather then injuried"
i just have to wonder when the USA became so good they can't lose anymore, like they handycap themself so much that they lose for sure. but what i like to know is when there at the most handycap and still win? that what i truely want to know.
I think the issue is that we're like the only country on earth that actually takes warfare seriously. Its like everyone else just sees military stuff as a fashion accessory to their country only to get terrified when America does anything.
@@RipOffProductionsLLC Precisely. Our side is usually set to lose because we have a history of rising to the occasion. Think of any videogame you've ever played. It's more fun when the bosses and puzzles give you a little bit of a challenge - you have to figure it out, you have to find the weak spots, but you can still use your skills to win. However, when you've played the game several times, now you've mastered those skills and bosses become less of a challenge and less fun, but more like a speed bump on your way to get to the next dungeon or mission.
I liked “nucular” and “strategery” Plus, Bush could duck a shoe faster than any other President could. …that was until Trump was able to duck a bullet, outclassing him.
Goofy as that was, if you pay attention to the clip, he stalls in the middle of that for a moment. Consider, instead, how much flak he would've received if he'd given an audio clip including the phrase "shame on me" to be taken out of context... his utter lack of improv skills gave us this gem instead, which I feel was a win all around.
Thing about Turkey in NATO is that they were admitted simultaneously with Greece as a "thank you" for what they'd done in Korea and an acknowledgement of the fact that they have fought a lot of wars with Russia/USSR/Russia. Between Greece and Turkey there is a really substantial tank and artillery park, but they're all primarily pointed at each other with a provision to mutually pivot to face north/northeast. And then strategically, if there was a provision in the treaty to expel an existing NATO member, and if it was used against Turkey, just think where Turkey would have to turn for security and how awkward that would make the Black Sea and eastern Mediterranean if conventional shooting started.
Where would Turkey have to turn to for security? No one, lol. The Soviet Union is gone. Black sea access isn't as important as it used to be. Plus, I would really like to see someone trying to stop the 6th fleet from going anywhere.
@@ΣτελιοςΠεππας the Soviet Union is gone, but Russia and the CSTO are there. Granted, the Russian experience in Ukraine has shown us how little that matters now, but the Russian experience in Ukraine also shows that Turkey without NATO would have a reason to be concerned about its security. Who knows, in an alternate timeline Turkey might have to negotiate with Greece about Cyprus and Sweden about the Kurds to get into NATO after February 2022.
@kemarisite Bruh Russia ain't a threat to Turkey. There is no shared land border anymore, and the Turkish navy can handle the floating turds the Russians have in the Black Sea. Turkey is not under danger of attack from anyone.
I'm really, really tempted to build a model of Grandpa Buff with exoatmospheric upgrades, including replacing his engines with miniature warp nacelles a la the Runabout from DS9...
America: Yeah. We lose war games all the time. Our F-22s and F-35s lose all the time in practice… Russia: Ha! Because your wonder weapons are not so wonderful. America: … that’s the point of practice. We already know the situations in which we can win. We need to figure out all the ways to lose so we can never end up there in an actual fight
Yep, the war games that people like to point out the US losing in are ones that the US is intentionally handicapping their assets to simulate a worst-case scenario in. The whole idea being that it's better to find potential weaknesses in our stuff during practice with our allies and be able to develop ways to counteract those weaknesses. It also has the additional benefit that it lets our allies get practice against really high-end military assets, improving their overall ability to fight whatever our enemies may have, especially if it doesn't stack up with our stuff. The purpose of war games is to let our military see how an adversary may take advantage of the worst situations while allowing our allies the chance to train against some of the best military tech on the planet.
I like how it turns into "okay so what should we do in this scenario?" "Umm, fire whoever let this equipment get in such bad condition and use one of the 50 others we have available on this ship alone?"
We intentionally handicap ourselves to test out worst case scenarios to shore things up and hammer out the kinks before it has to be used for real. On top of that when all your training is for worst case senarios, you're ready to handle the regular shit because it will feel like easy mode and any actual bad problem will be like something you did before. it's crazy that no one else does it this way.
Missed an opportunity for a Star Trek reference: "KAAAAAAAAAN!" Yes, it's not spelled like it would've been in the Star Trek movie. I modified it so that it'd fit the context of the video.
I went to Turkey 15 days after 9/11. They were the Host Nation for a NATO Training Exercise. For the most part, they LOVED us. There were of course, exceptions. I and a Brit MP (HI, I was a BF for the U.S. Army!) got sent as liason with the Turkish version of the PMO. The only thing I really did not like? The way they treated their Soldiers. They were primarily a conscripted force, and they served 18 months. They really haven't changed that much, but at least they are building high tech stuff. It just makes me feel like they don't belong in NATO. BUT. At least they decided to continue with the mission of the NATO exercise. The other countries that showed, andall the NATO members were supposed to participate were, besides the aforementioned Brits and Americans: Italy, Germany, Hungary, Belgium. I actually had a decent time over there, and one night we picked up the BBC reports of the bombing campaign in Afghanistan.
@@jdluntjr76226 You may need to look at how US treats Turkey. I mean, it's pretty hard to be friends with guys who constantly supply and protect groups like the PKK and PYD, which are against us, orchestrate coups every decade, refuse to sell us equipment, and then get mad at us for acquiring it from other sources like Russia. They even take back their air defenses when we face a threat of attack. Wonderful friends and allies there guys!
I will point this out, they aren’t just modernizing their equipment, but their army as well. They’re leaning away from conscription slowly and transitioning into a more conventional and active force.
I'd attribute a good 60-75% of our current problems in the US to Reagan bumbling through the White House, and I think even that's showing a lot of restraint. Dude was a political calamity of monstrous proportions.
Reagan was the epitome of picking the worse option for societal change and then opening the flood gates for why normal people can't afford houses but Elon Musk can buy Twitter on a whim.
Yeah, I'll never get the admiration for Reagan. A lot of the things people are complaining about today are a direct result of him and his administration, but those same people put him on a pedestal for some reason.
@@DustinAllred He was very charming and charismatic, and while worker's rights were being stripped(RIP the ATC Union), the wealthy were going onto media and literature talking about how great he was for the economy. Just the ruling elite's economy, as they got more profit from the loss of the working class' wealth and rights. It was before consumer internet, so not a lot of outlets for dissident ideas. So the 80s have become an icon of a great economic boom, but it was really only for the wealthy. His foreign policy tough man methods also are popular. There is a reason he was called the Teflon President. The bad stuff just never stuck to him, they used fall guys.
Dude single handedly made the wealthy wealthier with his top tax bracket tax cuts. This is seriously the person we're putting on a pedestal? The bullshit war on drugs? Closing of mental health care facilities? Ignoring AIDS? FUCKING FORTUNE TELLER?! One of the worst fucking presidents ever and he's called one of the good ones? Why, because he ranted his dementia addled head off at some communists? Or was the targeted harassment of Black people and poor people a good thing?
War games are basically equivalent to a Dad 'teaching' his three year old how to box, letting the kid throw haymakers your shin so he knows how to throw a punch without just windmilling , just having a good time knowing this kid isn't going to feel your metal, that's something the mad scientist in the back room are sharpening for you Just in case West Taiwan wanna get froggy.
I thought war games were like your Dad teaching you to swim by shooting your knees out and throwing you in the middle of a lake from a helicopter 50 feet in the air
I will happily disparage Reagan because "trickle down" was bullshit. Also, it's not a Star Wars laser unless it goes "pew" in the vacuum of space. Does SK's laser go "pew" in space? No? Then shut up :P Also, while I don't agree with everything Israel is doing, the strike on Iran was an impressive show of US tech :D Final thought, lasers are often, but they have a little issue with anything "over the horizon." For now, I think I'll go with the SSGN (lasers also don't go through water well).
Tbf, when we actually do start fighting wars in space, I doubt the ships are gonna make dive bomber noises like in Star Wars. Nor do I imagine we’ll see fiery explosions and fires in space like in The Acolyte. Sort of the problem with fighting in a vacuum, and I ain’t talking about a Swiffer. Could still make a Death Star and we may also get laser guns one day, so it’s a bit of take and give.
no such thing as "trickle down" economics. that was the label the left put on it to make sound unpalatable. and those policies worked very well for all levels of the economy. don't fall for the propaganda.
And they do contribute. Quite a lot of skewed purpose tied into it, and a lot of differences of opinion, but they take part. And you really can't beat that location...
As a Turk, we dislike US, yes but have a more complex relation with Europe. We used to be a great US ally but honestly US did us dirty in many occasions as well as Germany. But we respect a lot of our Allies and NATO Allies in Pacific as well. Also we bought Russian equipment because we were denied the F-35, many aviation enjoyers here of course were devastated
@@aegeanharrier6648No Turkey bought s500 from Russia because Turkey was denied the patriot air defense missiles from ally USA. And when Turkey bought the s500 we were denied the f35. The USA is really against Turkey having a air defence for some reason.
Ahh Reagan, the reason why we can have nice military things, but why us civilians now have to swear allegiance to our corporate overlords. Deregulation isn't always a good thing.
Ahh, Regan, the reason the US survived the Carter administration. Look, he was no saint, and did plenty of things wrong, but seriously, talk to someone who remembers Carter. There is a reason Regan won by a landslide
Turkey is basically in NATO so we wouldn't have to reignite a century-old feud between them and Greece over the Bosphorous Strait. We basically slapped a NATO sticker on them and said "hey, you're part of the big boy league, now stay in your corner and don't bother anyone - especially not Greece." We... Somehow didn't expect Russia to ingratiate themselves with the Greeks and politically undermine their country. Guess that's our Achilles' Heel.
The way I understand US War Game doctrine (which is fuck all. I'm not even USMIL adjacent), is we always put ourselves at the disadvantage when starting. Like I've read that every time an F22 has been "killed" it was a dogfight where it started with the aggressor on its 6. I can't even imagine a world where the F22 loses in BVR engagements. As a matter of fact, I refuse to.
Its like that in normal training too. In BCT and AIT when we have opfor they are always given ridiculous advantages, and you get to learn every little detail you did wrong from the front leaning rest position. Soldiers don't get to win until its an actual real firefight. Not going to lie, but it felt a bit abusive... but the results speak for themselves.
This, and anyone who doesn't see it doesn't understand how the rich became rich in the first place. They don't get rich by spending money on their workers, they get rich by spending money on SUPPRESSING their workers and hoarding the excess
I got the feeling that Regan was good was from buffs perspective not from HLC. Buff wants to reach his life goals! Carpet bombing shit to rubble for him is the whole reason for existence.
That US battalion commander was last heard going full Rick and Morty as he was thrown out of Turkey. "BOO ALL YOU WANT. I'VE SEEN WHAT MAKES YOU LOT CHEER!!"
"It's never a war crime the first time!" - The Fat Electrician. But seriously, you're right. It'll be worse than the dream the kid had when he got turned loose.
surely they will not use Lasers on infantry. Jokes aside its very hard because they are air defence units and horrible against anything with composite armor
I was a dependent in Turkey in '81 and '82. I liked it. There were obviously some restrictions to not draw too much attention to ourselves, but most of the people there were cool. And no, not just the ones making money off of us - lol. I still miss the restaurants with like 3 long ass tables and everyone just sat next to each other. It's too bad things are the way they are now.
We just have a lot of people and some of them are a little deranged But so far i have heard nothing but good things from people that stationed in incirlik
Honestly I'm still kind of surprised that people view Reagan in such a positive light given that we still feel the ramifications of some of the stuff that his administration did to this day from things like the war on drugs or the idea of trickle down economics which didn't actually work out in practice. Kind of an average president honestly like some good some bad not really one of the greats
Sure, he won some and he lost some. Everyone does. Compared to Carter, Regan's losses were minimal. There is a reason he won 2 elections by landslides.
Because Jimmy Carter was just THAT BAD that Reagan got the clear. Also technically Nixon started the "war on drugs" but it was an after thought and more going after hippies (and they deserved it) than being what Reagan turned it into. Also I had a middle school teacher who was annoyed by Pres. Reagan because his name was the almost identical so his last name was always mispronounced.
The Bush that Talked Funny was also the only U.S. President who was not only a Fully Mission Qualified Jet Fighter Pilot, but was qualified to handle Nuclear Weapons. (The AIM-26A on the F-102As his unit flew was still in the inventory).
You mean the guy who "flew" for TX ANG despite low test scores and "irregular attendance." The same guy who never deployed anywhere ever, and lost his clearance to fly for failing to show up for required physical exams? Probably cause his nose was still jammed with coke? You mean that "Funny Talking" Bush? As opposed to the Bush that flew actual combat missions against Wake Island in WW2. The one with the Distinguished Flying Cross. Dubbya can take his Senator's Son "service" and shove it. You want real presidential (or near-presidential) soldiers/sailors/airmen, look to Bush Sr, McCain, JFK, and the Peanut Man himself- Jimmy Carter.
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 his dad Bush 41 was the one who threw up on the Japanese Prime Minister. Although he did nearly miss being captured and eaten by cannibalistic, due to lack of any other resources, Japanese officers during world war II, like many of his squadron mates.

To be fair, HLC is just playing a character in the form of America's military interests (not even really America as a whole). A character does not necessarily reflect its writer's personal opinions on a matter. Especially since, at various points, the character could be argued as acting a heck of a lot like a megalomaniacal villain protagonist.
He was very good at what most people remember him for opposing the Soviet Union. People tend to forget the economy, Iran-Contra, the war on drugs and most other things that happened in the 80s
Wait, when the fuck did we point out the Philippines and British about 22's? I thought the entire reason why we were researching kaan was about having an self sufficient military industry. (Btw, I would actually rather be more close to NATO then Russia)
You get this sometimes. HLC wants to mention something but sticks it in the dialogue of a country that wouldn't care about that thing. It's more about the whole flow of the piece then a summary of Turkish interests. You have to shrug it off and appreciate the whole thing.

0:26 I can respect Reagan for some things. What I refuse to stay silent on is his signing of the Mulford Act as Govornor of California. A handful of Black Panthers decide to conduct an armed protest and suddenly ALL Californians for the rest of it’s history pay the price.
He was a piece of shit, no need to sugarcoat it. Thanks for doing everything from being a rat for McCarthy to making the AIDS pandemic worse Ronnie, rot in hell
Not going to lie. My dyslexic brain read "invincible air defense systems" as "INVISIBLE air defense systems" and was like...yeah, tracks. Pretty accurate...oh, wait. Dyslexia rewriting the words again.
Reagan - Reaganomics: failure. War on drugs: failure. Military policy: I'm not as educated on that but I'd call it neutral at best. Public speaking: Champ. Face it: Reagan wasn't that great; people view him favorably because of his jokes and he helped bring down the Berlin Wall. He wasn't terrible, but not a top-tier pick for leadership, though I think the only president I like from the last 50 years would be Carter.
Hell he didn’t even contribute much to the wall. That was just Soviet mismanagement and communications cock ups. Look it up, it’s actually hilarous. Long story short, they changed some travel laws, a German spokesman started making shit up, and the government kinda just went along with it for fear of sounding stupid.
Carter was, from every account, a good man in a bad position. Dude's 100 years old and still doing great work. Folks act like the POTUS is freakin' emperor when he's little more than a policy director.
The fact that Reagan authorized sales of weapons to Iran after Carter spent half his presidency and all of his presidential goodwill to have the hostages be freed in Iran irks me...
He didn't do dick about the Berlin wall. He just took credit for something that happened because of how things were shaking out naturally over in Germany.
Wouldn't that be Carter? Though if you want the original sin, it was whoever took us off the gold standard. That's ultimately why you can't afford to live. Fiat has to inflate since it's not real money. Rate management only slows the inevitable. Every policy since then was just making the Fiat problem worse. It all goes back to that moment.
Nah that was clinton. It turns out practically asking american businesses to outsource... decreases jobs. Who knew? (Also now not-really-american-businesses now expect to be able to hire american workers for cheap, and they rotate workers like a merry go round in order to keep paying them less than they are worth.)
Was Ronald Reagan one of the good ones? i thought he was like one of the worst?, between him and like Richard Nixon? Reagan was still president when i was born lol, gods I'm getting old.

Aren't those warganes set with absurd handicaps? Stuff like "our radar doesn't work, our coms are compromized, and all our casualties are dead rather then injuried"
i just have to wonder when the USA became so good they can't lose anymore, like they handycap themself so much that they lose for sure. but what i like to know is when there at the most handycap and still win? that what i truely want to know.
I think the issue is that we're like the only country on earth that actually takes warfare seriously. Its like everyone else just sees military stuff as a fashion accessory to their country only to get terrified when America does anything.
@@RipOffProductionsLLC Yes. We started doing that once we realized that the strategy of the enemy in wargames was to straight up avoid all US assets.
@@RipOffProductionsLLC Precisely. Our side is usually set to lose because we have a history of rising to the occasion.
Think of any videogame you've ever played. It's more fun when the bosses and puzzles give you a little bit of a challenge - you have to figure it out, you have to find the weak spots, but you can still use your skills to win.
However, when you've played the game several times, now you've mastered those skills and bosses become less of a challenge and less fun, but more like a speed bump on your way to get to the next dungeon or mission.

Thing about Turkey in NATO is that they were admitted simultaneously with Greece as a "thank you" for what they'd done in Korea and an acknowledgement of the fact that they have fought a lot of wars with Russia/USSR/Russia. Between Greece and Turkey there is a really substantial tank and artillery park, but they're all primarily pointed at each other with a provision to mutually pivot to face north/northeast. And then strategically, if there was a provision in the treaty to expel an existing NATO member, and if it was used against Turkey, just think where Turkey would have to turn for security and how awkward that would make the Black Sea and eastern Mediterranean if conventional shooting started.
Where would Turkey have to turn to for security? No one, lol. The Soviet Union is gone. Black sea access isn't as important as it used to be.
Plus, I would really like to see someone trying to stop the 6th fleet from going anywhere.
@@ΣτελιοςΠεππας That was what Churchill said.

@@ΣτελιοςΠεππας the Soviet Union is gone, but Russia and the CSTO are there. Granted, the Russian experience in Ukraine has shown us how little that matters now, but the Russian experience in Ukraine also shows that Turkey without NATO would have a reason to be concerned about its security. Who knows, in an alternate timeline Turkey might have to negotiate with Greece about Cyprus and Sweden about the Kurds to get into NATO after February 2022.
@kemarisite Bruh Russia ain't a threat to Turkey. There is no shared land border anymore, and the Turkish navy can handle the floating turds the Russians have in the Black Sea. Turkey is not under danger of attack from anyone.

America: Yeah. We lose war games all the time. Our F-22s and F-35s lose all the time in practice…
Russia: Ha! Because your wonder weapons are not so wonderful.
America: … that’s the point of practice. We already know the situations in which we can win. We need to figure out all the ways to lose so we can never end up there in an actual fight
Yep, the war games that people like to point out the US losing in are ones that the US is intentionally handicapping their assets to simulate a worst-case scenario in. The whole idea being that it's better to find potential weaknesses in our stuff during practice with our allies and be able to develop ways to counteract those weaknesses. It also has the additional benefit that it lets our allies get practice against really high-end military assets, improving their overall ability to fight whatever our enemies may have, especially if it doesn't stack up with our stuff. The purpose of war games is to let our military see how an adversary may take advantage of the worst situations while allowing our allies the chance to train against some of the best military tech on the planet.
I like how it turns into "okay so what should we do in this scenario?" "Umm, fire whoever let this equipment get in such bad condition and use one of the 50 others we have available on this ship alone?"
We intentionally handicap ourselves to test out worst case scenarios to shore things up and hammer out the kinks before it has to be used for real. On top of that when all your training is for worst case senarios, you're ready to handle the regular shit because it will feel like easy mode and any actual bad problem will be like something you did before. it's crazy that no one else does it this way.
Missed an opportunity for a Star Trek reference: "KAAAAAAAAAN!"

I gotta say, I saw the "Kaant" joke coming and was rooting for it all the way.
“I bet for those pilots it was like they’ve been sent back in time” 😂 I was expecting the 35 but the F-15 and F-16 were rolling out runways too
I went to Turkey 15 days after 9/11. They were the Host Nation for a NATO Training Exercise. For the most part, they LOVED us. There were of course, exceptions. I and a Brit MP (HI, I was a BF for the U.S. Army!) got sent as liason with the Turkish version of the PMO. The only thing I really did not like? The way they treated their Soldiers. They were primarily a conscripted force, and they served 18 months. They really haven't changed that much, but at least they are building high tech stuff. It just makes me feel like they don't belong in NATO.
BUT. At least they decided to continue with the mission of the NATO exercise. The other countries that showed, andall the NATO members were supposed to participate were, besides the aforementioned Brits and Americans: Italy, Germany, Hungary, Belgium. I actually had a decent time over there, and one night we picked up the BBC reports of the bombing campaign in Afghanistan.
To be fare, Turkey is more NATO member than many of other member nations. Join most of the peace missions, air policing missions etc.
Turkey became a Frenemy when Erdogan took the reigns
@@jdluntjr76226 You may need to look at how US treats Turkey. I mean, it's pretty hard to be friends with guys who constantly supply and protect groups like the PKK and PYD, which are against us, orchestrate coups every decade, refuse to sell us equipment, and then get mad at us for acquiring it from other sources like Russia. They even take back their air defenses when we face a threat of attack.
Wonderful friends and allies there guys!
@Mr_habitual_linecrosser we love you man. :) But wait a "Khaaan" in this episode :D
I will point this out, they aren’t just modernizing their equipment, but their army as well. They’re leaning away from conscription slowly and transitioning into a more conventional and active force.
My favorite Bush-ism: "and we got Karen here today. Karen's a west Texas girl, like me." 😂😂😂
😂😂Jeezus. It's like a quote from a Chevy Chase movie.

if the 22 was release it would be total Kaan-archy
I'd attribute a good 60-75% of our current problems in the US to Reagan bumbling through the White House, and I think even that's showing a lot of restraint. Dude was a political calamity of monstrous proportions.
Reagan was the epitome of picking the worse option for societal change and then opening the flood gates for why normal people can't afford houses but Elon Musk can buy Twitter on a whim.
Reagan might have been good-ish on foreign politics but man did he screw over the Everyman on domestic policy
He did lead to the slow decay of the middle class
Yeah, I'll never get the admiration for Reagan. A lot of the things people are complaining about today are a direct result of him and his administration, but those same people put him on a pedestal for some reason.
@@DustinAllred He was very charming and charismatic, and while worker's rights were being stripped(RIP the ATC Union), the wealthy were going onto media and literature talking about how great he was for the economy. Just the ruling elite's economy, as they got more profit from the loss of the working class' wealth and rights. It was before consumer internet, so not a lot of outlets for dissident ideas. So the 80s have become an icon of a great economic boom, but it was really only for the wealthy. His foreign policy tough man methods also are popular. There is a reason he was called the Teflon President. The bad stuff just never stuck to him, they used fall guys.
Reagan was an anti 2A piece of spit
He was also a traitor. He secretly and illegally sold weapons to Iran and lied to the public until forced to (reluctantly) admit it.
Could’ve been worse, your CO could’ve walked into the room of Turk brass and said “wow they got a roach problem round here”
I think a lot of people like to forget about Iran-Contra when looking back at Reagan. That situation automatically knocks him down a peg for me
Agreed. I may have been a kid, though I still remember that on the news for awhile.
If you ain't cheating you ain't trying. If you get caught, you ain't trying hard enough.
true but at least he would never of bowed down to russia
Dude single handedly made the wealthy wealthier with his top tax bracket tax cuts. This is seriously the person we're putting on a pedestal? The bullshit war on drugs? Closing of mental health care facilities? Ignoring AIDS? FUCKING FORTUNE TELLER?! One of the worst fucking presidents ever and he's called one of the good ones? Why, because he ranted his dementia addled head off at some communists? Or was the targeted harassment of Black people and poor people a good thing?
@@genocidus well he sort of bowed down to Iran. He bribed them to get our hostages back.
War games are basically equivalent to a Dad 'teaching' his three year old how to box, letting the kid throw haymakers your shin so he knows how to throw a punch without just windmilling , just having a good time knowing this kid isn't going to feel your metal, that's something the mad scientist in the back room are sharpening for you Just in case West Taiwan wanna get froggy.

"You don't disparage Star Wars!"

I will happily disparage Reagan because "trickle down" was bullshit.
Also, it's not a Star Wars laser unless it goes "pew" in the vacuum of space.
Does SK's laser go "pew" in space? No? Then shut up :P
Also, while I don't agree with everything Israel is doing, the strike on Iran was an impressive show of US tech :D
Final thought, lasers are often, but they have a little issue with anything "over the horizon." For now, I think I'll go with the SSGN (lasers also don't go through water well).
Yes, it didn't trickle down, it flooded. Had it not, 1984 would not have been so one sided.
Tbf, when we actually do start fighting wars in space, I doubt the ships are gonna make dive bomber noises like in Star Wars. Nor do I imagine we’ll see fiery explosions and fires in space like in The Acolyte. Sort of the problem with fighting in a vacuum, and I ain’t talking about a Swiffer.
Could still make a Death Star and we may also get laser guns one day, so it’s a bit of take and give.
@@jwrockets The piss of the rich elites flooded down. Not so much money.

Why is Turkey in NATO? Location, location, location. And a bit of historical timing.
And they do contribute. Quite a lot of skewed purpose tied into it, and a lot of differences of opinion, but they take part. And you really can't beat that location...

As a Turk, we dislike US, yes but have a more complex relation with Europe. We used to be a great US ally but honestly US did us dirty in many occasions as well as Germany. But we respect a lot of our Allies and NATO Allies in Pacific as well. Also we bought Russian equipment because we were denied the F-35, many aviation enjoyers here of course were devastated
@@aegeanharrier6648No Turkey bought s500 from Russia because Turkey was denied the patriot air defense missiles from ally USA. And when Turkey bought the s500 we were denied the f35. The USA is really against Turkey having a air defence for some reason.

Ahh, Regan, the reason the US survived the Carter administration.
Look, he was no saint, and did plenty of things wrong, but seriously, talk to someone who remembers Carter. There is a reason Regan won by a landslide
I could NOT have put it better!
War game losses just show how honest and willing to learn a military can be.
Turkey is basically in NATO so we wouldn't have to reignite a century-old feud between them and Greece over the Bosphorous Strait.
We basically slapped a NATO sticker on them and said "hey, you're part of the big boy league, now stay in your corner and don't bother anyone - especially not Greece."
We... Somehow didn't expect Russia to ingratiate themselves with the Greeks and politically undermine their country. Guess that's our Achilles' Heel.
The way I understand US War Game doctrine (which is fuck all. I'm not even USMIL adjacent), is we always put ourselves at the disadvantage when starting. Like I've read that every time an F22 has been "killed" it was a dogfight where it started with the aggressor on its 6. I can't even imagine a world where the F22 loses in BVR engagements. As a matter of fact, I refuse to.
Its like that in normal training too. In BCT and AIT when we have opfor they are always given ridiculous advantages, and you get to learn every little detail you did wrong from the front leaning rest position. Soldiers don't get to win until its an actual real firefight. Not going to lie, but it felt a bit abusive... but the results speak for themselves.
The more you sweat in training the less you bleed in combat
I know someone who worked on W's staff and many of the Bushisms were planned. It was gold.

Honestly I'm still kind of surprised that people view Reagan in such a positive light given that we still feel the ramifications of some of the stuff that his administration did to this day from things like the war on drugs or the idea of trickle down economics which didn't actually work out in practice. Kind of an average president honestly like some good some bad not really one of the greats
Sure, he won some and he lost some. Everyone does.
Compared to Carter, Regan's losses were minimal. There is a reason he won 2 elections by landslides.
Because Jimmy Carter was just THAT BAD that Reagan got the clear. Also technically Nixon started the "war on drugs" but it was an after thought and more going after hippies (and they deserved it) than being what Reagan turned it into.
Also I had a middle school teacher who was annoyed by Pres. Reagan because his name was the almost identical so his last name was always mispronounced.
Sounds like Buff’s been watching some of Robin Williams’ old standup about Dubya.
the battalion commander did *WHAT* xD

It hurts my soul that someone as grounded as HLC can sincerely praise Reagan's presidency.
To be fair, HLC is just playing a character in the form of America's military interests (not even really America as a whole). A character does not necessarily reflect its writer's personal opinions on a matter. Especially since, at various points, the character could be argued as acting a heck of a lot like a megalomaniacal villain protagonist.
He was very good at what most people remember him for opposing the Soviet Union. People tend to forget the economy, Iran-Contra, the war on drugs and most other things that happened in the 80s
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! change his name from Kaan to.....Kant😂😂😂. Freaking awesome
Too bad Reagan signed the FOPA of 1986. That one thing drops him from #1 to me to bottom 10.

@Mr_habitual_linecrosser yeah...no.
Reagan - Reaganomics: failure. War on drugs: failure. Military policy: I'm not as educated on that but I'd call it neutral at best. Public speaking: Champ.
Face it: Reagan wasn't that great; people view him favorably because of his jokes and he helped bring down the Berlin Wall. He wasn't terrible, but not a top-tier pick for leadership, though I think the only president I like from the last 50 years would be Carter.
Hell he didn’t even contribute much to the wall. That was just Soviet mismanagement and communications cock ups. Look it up, it’s actually hilarous. Long story short, they changed some travel laws, a German spokesman started making shit up, and the government kinda just went along with it for fear of sounding stupid.
Carter was, from every account, a good man in a bad position. Dude's 100 years old and still doing great work. Folks act like the POTUS is freakin' emperor when he's little more than a policy director.
The fact that Reagan authorized sales of weapons to Iran after Carter spent half his presidency and all of his presidential goodwill to have the hostages be freed in Iran irks me...
He didn't do dick about the Berlin wall. He just took credit for something that happened because of how things were shaking out naturally over in Germany.

Wouldn't that be Carter? Though if you want the original sin, it was whoever took us off the gold standard. That's ultimately why you can't afford to live. Fiat has to inflate since it's not real money. Rate management only slows the inevitable. Every policy since then was just making the Fiat problem worse. It all goes back to that moment.
Nah that was clinton. It turns out practically asking american businesses to outsource... decreases jobs. Who knew? (Also now not-really-american-businesses now expect to be able to hire american workers for cheap, and they rotate workers like a merry go round in order to keep paying them less than they are worth.)
He's part of it. The other part is your wasteful over spending of exclamation points.

But I'm Canadian, so like our prime minister was?...Jean Chrétien?, I always forget and i even forgot Stephen Harper was our prime minister for like the early 00's, thought we went from Jean Chrétien To Justin Trudeau.
Nah the Prime Minister through most of the 80's in Canada was Mulroney, Cretien was more Clinton/Bush Jr Era :)
The only people who consider him "one of the worst" know... very, very little about US presidents.
Watching W Bush trying to put on a rain poncho at Trumps inauguration, It was freaking hilarious
