US Army attack helicopters crashing at historically high rate amid mechanical issues

I have gone through rabbit hole of inconsistencies, but I don't obsess over whether they are copies of other myths/legends. I study the more modern corruptions/inventions. I understand Jesus's words as worth following, independent of any of his miracles/origin/heaven. I object to a church dogma based on 1. every word in the bible has to be true, or anarchy. 2. if there are contradictions the first chronological event must be more true. The convenience of this dogma of Moses Hierarchy and war as primacy is that it strengthens any Church hierarchy, and then through Constantine (first emperor to convert to Christianity and make it state religion) make the Romans the chosen people authorized to genocide and abuse any heretic who might consider Christ as not agreeing with Pope/Emperor.

South Korean parliamentary elections in 1950 results in 60% of seats for party wanting unification, and 12% for US puppet president's party. President blocked all mandates. Whether North proposals for nationwide elections or unification of parliaments with arrest of Rhee (puppet) were sincere, is deniable. North's attempt to liberate South eventually failed. North/Sung would eventually replace democracy with a Monarchy (Sung's decendants), and questioning his willingness to have taken a pragmatic distribution of power for unification goals is a reasonable western narrative.

I appreciate that Torah was written during 2nd temple. But the relatively recent 1st temple history and prophets cursing their kings, and declaring God himself will destroy the temple, and contradicting Moses law, seems to chronicle a fall that seems too intricate. But, there is archeological evidence that Jerusalem and Judah (David and Solomon) (surround it) had small 10000 population. That Israel was a more powerful friendly kingdom to the north, and Judahan history got rewritten after Syrians invaded and displaced Israel's citizens to Judah. Very hard to judge if its too crazy, when religion continuously proves very crazy.

The more likely history of Judah is that the Philistines forced Egypt to reduce its empire, and Saul, just before David, consolidated the few poor tribes of Judah in defense to Philistines, with David paying tribute to Philistines to survive. Yahweh war god's chosen people never fought or vanquished anyone anywhere near Judah/Israel. It is also Israel side that laid claim to a Moses heritage instead of the Judah/David side. It would all get merged later after Israel was invaded.

Zionism exists based on Moses inventing a demon that mandates genocide and destruction of enemy idols for Moses's chosen followers that eventually leads to Israel domination by King David. Selectively using that section of Old Testament, while ignoring all of the latter Jewish prophets, fully included in Old Testament, that claimed God had abandoned them as chosen people due to the evil of their kings. Christianity used to claim it was the chosen people including Americans through Manifest destiny. It's a good scam to get fanatics into your army/injustice squads.

Satan’s Guide to the Bible

Satan's origins come from 2nd temple jews, who incidentally could build 2nd temple because Iran liberated them from Babylonians. Before I get to that...

The first temple period lasted 500 years after King David, where Jewish prophets, like Jesus, are woke anti-poverty activists that keep shouting their kings suck more and more, ending in Jerimiah declaring God will destroy this temple because Jews are no longer the Chosen people. After in exile, "God no longer favours kings", and "God is in your heart" similar though less eloquent to "Do onto others as you wish done onto you".

The second temple changes Jews to monotheist pure, and angels serving the demon Yahweh are invented to replace the Pantheon he supposedly overthrew. There are 2 origins of Satan. Baal (The Greeks called him the same as Zeus) was worshiped by Philistines as Baal-Zebul. The storm god jews and other tribes prayed to if they wanted crops to grow, instead of King's private messages on who to murder and steal from. Kings David and Solomon both names sons after Baal. Jews demonized rivals to Yahweh, and by the time of Jesus, Beelzebub was interchangeable with Satan, with Jesus quoted as using the term interchangeably. The 2nd origin is Lucifer. This is pure Roman fuckery in latin mistranslation of the hebrew word for venus/morning star, in yet another song, this time mocking Babylonian King who conquered Israelites for thinking he is the "falling star of venus" instead of the real "sun" god. The fallen angel myth comes from absolute stupidity.

Both origins of Satan are complete BS, and so source has linguistic issues preventing me from bothering to view it. It is also disconnected with the selective parts of the bible that support Zionism, and the state of Israel that was created by that movement.

World’s oceans hit hottest temperature on record in August | Average sea surface temperature outside polar regions was 21.1C on Saturday, latest data finds

21.2C Sunday. About 0.15C higher than previous record set all the way back in prehistory of 2023. 1C higher than 1982-2010 average. This is without beaking the Nino record of fall 2015. Very close to the record, but also possibly peaking and rolling off on el nino index.

record global air temperatures for last 2 weeks. Record northern hemisphere summer (all time) records for 20 days or so this year. Latter temperatures are inherently the cost of global warming. Milder other 3 season temperatures can affect snowfall and fresh water levels, but don't affect immediate liveability/comfort.

but the days of global American military precense won’t be back for 20 years at least.

Skynet possibility aside, it seems impossible to regain dominance. When the Pentagon cannot make a good argument for rebuilding GCC bases, because of their obvious Iran capability to destroy them again a week later, they are further effectively admitting that the budget requests needed to overcome that incapacity can no longer be passed by congress.

100 helicopters that have been getting a million dollars of maintenance a month. But in reality you got 50 “good enough” and 50 that literally can’t fly.

This is a bigger, though newer, problem with F35. Lockheed clampdown on providing manuals to US army, and all service done through them, makes it an extremely expensive program. Low flight readiness ratio reflects the requirement to canibalize parts from some planes for the ones that fly. For decades, US weapons programs have been an oligarchy enrichment program to spend as much as possible, independent of security/capability enhancement.

The US-Canada Trainwreck and the Limits of American Power

This acknowledges colonial structure language. The obvious is that you get more colonial servant loyalty by not needlessly publicly humiliating the servant and his people, to be able to ask for important favours that are dutifully executed. Extra dumb to attack countries you have a trade surplus with.

The mistake of the Iran war could easily have been avoided if smarter allies than Trump could have explained to the dotard that it wasn't going to work. The surprise attack did 0, and was a complete embarrassment. But the weak lashing out of no one jumping in to help while telling all their help would be useless, should be a private embarrassment of being told no beforehand.

China rejects Trump’s push for economic pressure on Iran

Iran is already at maximum sanctions, and all of its trading partners (especially border states) use local financing/cash completely seperate from all US financial systems or sanctions reach. All national scale/SWIFT access banks already avoid Iran trade involvement.

Targetting ships that "will only in future" help Iran oil flows, can only decrease future oil flows, but only if they don't need oil in short term and keep doing it, but also just serve Iran oil in the future, and get cut off from all other oil.

I'm not sure of any "made up origin of Israel". King David did exist, and the time of most of old testament written.

What happened to Christianity after Rome sacked Jerusalem Church in 70AD was the eventual erasure of Jesus from Christianity. The early 2nd century gnostics argued that exodus 6:3 proved Yahweh was a demon instead of the fatherly figure of El that Jesus was recognizing. The entirety of monotheist Yahweh God stems from a song that King David's musical director made up (psalm 82) where Yahweh kills all the other gods, but no one ever claimed to be a witness to the Astral plane's process of that happening.

When the Gnostics believed in Jesus philophy over warmongering Moses primacy Torah version, that ignores all Jewish prophets condemning the fall of Israelite dominance as God abandoning pieces of shit genocidal evil rulers. Christianity would instead adopt the competing philosophy that every word in bible must be true, culminating in 4th Century roman papacy led by Constantine that declared Jesus and God are equal matter. This formally, forever after, cemented Christianity as being anti-Christ because the Roman empire (now officially Christian) that used the 70AD destruction of Church in the name of Jupiter as the new chosen people, now Christian, shifted to Yahweh viewing the Roman empire as the chosen people. All heretics and non Romans should now be genocided in the name of god, just as Moses said, and the parts of the bible where Israelites were mentioned were transformed them into proto-roman catholics. As late as 16th century, Saint Anne was invented as the Irish-Britany celtic goddess mother of Mary, somehow proto Roman/Catholic. Now you know, Jesus is a quarter-god Quebecois celtic.
