Anyone who defends antifa at this point is too far gone

If you dress up like, whatever that is and chant all day about nazi's you are too far gone

This is all happening because we shut down all the mental asylums in our country in the 60's on the back of Socialist alarmism over One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Just deport them to hell

@UnfilteredGarbage *laughs in Vietnam?*

I would be surprised if America's famous former "adversary" also bought US hardware out of the sheer need of defending themselves from Chinese threats to their sovereignity.

Vietnam and America have good trade relations now

Vietnam wants to keep chinese economic interests at bay

Yeah, I know that. But so far Vietnam's military arsenal is all Ruskie or some leftover Chinese equipment from the Vietnam War.

Vietnam isn't well centralized from what I understand so I don't see them modernizing their arms anytime soon

Yeah. But damn their navy needs to be on their toes to stop Chinese "colonization" of their lands.

China is moving into overland shipping routes in indochina, trying to construct a multi-national industry and cargo corridor from China to India.

So Vietnam is more interested in resisting over land

China's naval presence is more to bully SK, Japan, and the Phillipines

And presumably, in long term, the middle east's vulnerable shipping lanes

This is another reason Vietnam won't soon modernize their military; the existential threat from china is one of economic puppetry by foreign investment, not military occupation

"We'll only use them for peacekeeping" - Saudi's

Saudi Arabia's entire military has been sold to them by NATO

lmao i know right

And they barely have enough military to field their own military assets

Which is good, because it means America gets to control their military action

Then they just invade Yemen and the west is just like, <a:wow:527642350080753734>

We should be using that advantage instead of whining about arms sales

This definitely will not be a full-scale invasion, it's just dickwaving at the Houthis

You think the saudis will listen to the US?

I don't see it.

Saudi does what saudi does.

The saudis will have to have the US train or direct their military

nah, Saudi's plan is buy expensive weapons, put them in the hands of cowards, pay them a bunch and hope they don't run like the massive fuck up they just had over the weekend

Maybe, while they're just dickwaving at the Houthis

But if we're talking about a full-scale invasion of Yemen, it's not logistically possible

Houti's are making a lot of damage with the help of Iran.

Saudi Arabia getting a taste of asymmetrical warfare lol

You're right about that, Saudi's don't have the man power for that.

They probably want a puppet gov.

It seems to have backfired hard and they're playing the victims now.

Houthis launching Iranian scuds into Saudi infrastructure is hurting them bad.

Saudi Arabia wants the US or another superpower to protect their shipping lanes and oil fields

Yea for sure

They're willing to be effectively dependent on foreign military investment to that end, but they see the dream is dying
