It means you have air support. So if you have to move troops quickly, you put them on a helicopter and move them around. Or if you need to keep an eye on things, you have drones flying over head to get live feeds.In2ition wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 5:30 pmWhy would you need air support?

Force concentration is the practice of concentrating a military force so as to bring to bear such overwhelming force against a portion of an enemy force that the disparity between the two forces alone acts as a force multiplier in favour of the concentrated forces.
On a separate not, do you often spell favor as favour?

I don't think anyone is going to go at all. If there is, they will be very small amount, but why would they go with 30K troops and everything else? That makes zero sense. Maybe you guys don't quite understand how many that is?
This is more than enough to keep them safe. This is overkill to the Nth degree.
None of this conversation would be happening and none of these fears would exist if he would have just accepted defeat like every President before him. He's an egotistic narcissist that can't stand the prospect of losing anything. He started this frenzy fighting the election and the results well before the ballots were even cast and continued non-stop. Getting every case by his own appointed judges thrown out.
Fuck Donald Trump. Not just, by far, the worst President of the United States. One of the worst people, period.

Man, I am really worried that a Trumper is going to assassinate Biden, Kamala, Pelosi, AOC, Ilhan Omar, or some other prominent Democrat soon. It just feels like it is heading in that direction. I'm worried for their safety.

Re: 2020 Election Thread
I didn’t see what hardware they were talking about. My step dad was a mechanic for the Phoenix Police Air Support Unit. That’s what they called their helicopter fleet. I would imagine more air support means more helicopters overhead, not B-52’s flying bombing sorties.Why would you need air support? Who the f has an air force that's going to attack DC?

Re: 2020 Election Thread
It is sad that it's come to this. I hear that DC looks like frightening and dystopian with so many soldiers and military vehicles all around. And then, what, they all just leave the day after the inauguration? It feels like overcompensation. I guess they just want to convince the MAGA army not to show up and even try anything?
I just wish we could get back to being a country where we could disagree with each other without wanting to literally kill the other person.

Re: 2020 Election Thread
Did you really just post an article from the media reporting the truth about the issue while also saying this is why people don't trust the media?
Re: 2020 Election Thread
How else would you do it? Who would you post? What came first, the chicken or the egg?

I've yet to see anything other than that tweet refuting the situation. Even that article, behind a paywall, simply says the guy claims he was lost and didn't realize he had ammo on him?

What motivates the motivated reasoning of pro-Trump conspiracists?
New study suggests a desire to see society focus on men helps drive support.

Good read. Seems appropriate. Most of the biggest Trump supporters I personally know devalue women and don't seem then as equal to men.

MyPillow nerd got a cease and desist from Dominion which had me wondering where all the "rigged election" and "stop the steal" BS went. Not a story anymore? No more rigged elections and voting machines? No more Venezuela? No more collecting machines as evidence from voting sites? No more affidavits from poll workers claiming voter fraud? No more boxes of ballots being hidden underneath tables? Where'd all that evidence go?

Real talk though; part of why Trump's narcissism has bothered me so much personally is because I was born into and bred in that kind of dynamic. In my professional experience, only sociopaths have given me more pause than those with NPD.

Do your worst Trump.
Trump has been doing some last second sneaky weird BS installing Trump loyalists in high positions in such places as the CIA.
