              Two part:

              • The message payload seems shitty. It’s ugly and noisy on Lemmy

                  Fuck off you aren’t from the host instance, or the instance of the person I reply to. If you are in an authority position, declare yourself. If you aren’t begone.

                  I stated my position with context and some rando has no bearing.

                  Edit if you just doxxed your alt, lol.

    If the entire rest of the war is anything to go by, I expect we’re about to see Ukraine working out exactly what condition of surface an F-16 is capable of taking off from

      And also what kind of unconventional way their capabilities can be leveraged. A nice 1 - 2 punch combined with patriot or something.

      It will be interesting to see.
