This is what happens when your military is lead by whiskey leaks and the fat man.
Oh good I’m sure this will help lower the price of groceries and gas.
US military is striving for Russia-level military (in)competency.
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.”
Why would the people at the top of this circus care about a measley $300M when they can just tax the poor and cut essential social services in order to expand the military budget an extra $500B?
By coincidence the amount they would lose by taking greenland. The arms contractors.
They don’t bother taxing more yet, they just print more money and drive inflation up. We still end up poorer and they get their toys.
What about the cost to train the LLM that identified the jets as targets?
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…
Kuwait right now
Lemme guess… AI was involved…
Missile striking aircraft: My tax dollars in action
Aircraft being struck by missile: Also my tax dollars in action
Aircraft downed by friendly fire: My tax dollars out of action
Proper IFF and allied coordination is too woke for Petey.
They’ve replaced IFF with Grok so why would they need to coordinate with allies?
I’d say “call in the clowns” but we already did that.
Disgrace of a nation.
So how is this supposed to bring prices down again?
I don’t know, but how’s the DOW?
Down another 500 as of today.
Does that mean we can start caring about raping children again?
Phrasing.
Ouch. Lol. Another case of friendly fire. A self inflicted wound.
Then this country is moving in the wrong direction. Smh. Because of the Dow. /s
I think n AG Karen said it was over 9000 dollars.
How much does a fighter jet cost? A thousand dollars?
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?
What!? But fighter jets can be built in America.
The dollar is no longer the reserve currency. We’re onto Doll Hairs now
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?
Yeah right and those two jets just fell off the USS Harry Truman last year, accidents happen! 🤷♂️
“”“Friendly fire incident”“”
Let me guess, Claude said to shoot them down.
Had to be Grok or ChatGPT. Claude got fired from the DoD because autonomous target acquisition was one of Anthropic’s redlines…
I think that was a friendly plane
You’re absolutely right, that was indeed a friendly American f-15 plane we shot down. Would you like me to make a note not to shoot friendly planes in the future? ⚡ 💪
Heh, amateurs. You do not put such important orders in the prompt or other context that gets constantly compacted (and thus fuzzy). Fix your LLM client.
(Or… Maybe, I don’t know, put some guard rails in cold hard traditional non-vobe-code to begin with?)
With these knuckleheads running things, you can expect a lot more friendly fire incidents. Don’t worry, though, they’re all Biden’s fault. Or Obama’s. Or Bill Clinton’s. Or Hillary’s.
Potentially actual misidentification. Iran flies a mix of Soviet, American and European aircraft, including a decent amount of F-14 Tomcats.
Great allies there. Did they forget to inform Kuwait about the action?
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.
Would hoping the pilots died or were permanently disabled get someone banned here? Asking for a friend.
