Was successfully kidnapping him the greatest US military accomplient of the current century?
No.
it was a great display of coordination but there was hardly any risk.
>>64752523Current century? Maybe, because the US has no military feats this century. The 1989 op in Panama was much more impressive and larger in scope.
>>64752523>Maduro is taller and whiter than all the AmerimuttsLolFunny that he mogs in every one of these pics
>>64752523Tactically yes. Strategically no.
>>64752523>This thread againNo. The greatest operation of the century was Fallujah and Ramadi. Removing tin pot dictators with temu radar is less impressive than the combined arms operations operation in both those cities.
>>64752523>helicopters flying at stone toss distance>not a single one of them was grounded>wife of maduro was also “kidnapped”If you ask me, either he cut a deal with the US, or he was betrayed.
>>64752623I thought Fallujah was a massive shitshow.
>>64752549>the US has no military feats this century
>>64752594mog apparently means limping brownoid in cuffs
It's impressive in that it was quick and no casualties or loss of equipment, but taking over Iraq is more impressive overall.
>>64752523Is spamming this thread every day the greatest accomplishment of your life?
>>64752536There could have been several BHD situations if any of the small arms hit any of the helicopters.
>>64752680Everyone in that picture is a brownoid though.
>>64752623>Fallujah and Ramadi.Policing action with tanks on call.
>>64752623No one else can do it, but it remains unimpressive.
>>64752705idk about the guy in the front but the guy in the back is white and youre a demented /pol/tard if you think otherwise
>>64752702How did other countries not learn from this?
>>64752672Urban combat always is. Fighting was door to door, and was absolutely insane. Add that, the combined armor and F-18/helo strikes, it was absolute kino.>>64752666>Hue City>not an absolut slaughter of VCIt was fucking great, an d gave us the best picture of what to do with commies.
America took over 2 countries at the same time.
What is the actual plan? His political party is still in power and there isn’t a US allied militia or political party to take over. The judge who is supposed to see his case is a 90 year old Law and Order lib judge that will probably throw out the charges. The whole thing reads like wrestling kayfabe.
>>64752702The bit about using unfinished arty barrel forgings to improvise new bunker busters in a few weeks was really impressive imo.
>>64752757To take over Venezuelan oil. The current president is allowing it to happen.
>>64752549the us has the only military feats, everyone else is huddling in holes and trenches while the other western militaries are drilling and prepping
>>64752666rare pregnant anne L take
>>64752549I dunno, we managed to bag Maduro right out of the gate, while Noreiga slipped through our hands at first, and it was only after asking the Catholic Church nicely that we got him at all.
>>64752757The plan is to not repeat the mistakes of de-Baathification. We'll see how that plays out in the long term.Also, given that we successfully prosecuted Noriega for essentially the same crimes, and Maduro has exactly zero friends in the Western world, I'm thinking this prosecution shouldn't be too hard.
>>64752672To be fair being a shitshow doesn't exclude itOverlord was a massive shitshow, but it was also the most complex and greatest military endeavor that we have seen, and likely that anyone will ever see in human history
>>64752523I would argue that the 2003 OIF campaign was a masterwork of modern warfare
>>64752770https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Basra_(2003)
>>64752807What makes you say that? I acknowledge that it was fast, but we also demonstrated just how pathetically weak Saddam's military was in '91, so steamrolling them wasn't that surprising, was it?
>>64752523The upcoming purge of traitors will be more impressive.
>>64752836>pathetically weak Saddam's military was in '91Flip the coin>overwhelmingly powerful the US military was in '91
>>64752836The sheer scale, complexity and results of the operation, you are doing the same shit dumb multipolarfags do every time, just because the US makes it look effortless doesn't mean it is actually effortless.
>>64752836Iraq was considered the 3rd or 4th strongest military in 1991. The only looked weak against America.
>>64752836It wasn’t weak, America just brought a new rulebook to the war because we actually learned something from Vietnam.
>>64752836Iraq was quite potent, they just so happened to be fighting a USA that lost its big USSR boogeyman to train against. Its like a local champion boxer fighting an Olympic boxer that is used to fighting 200+ pounds of pure speed and muscle.
>>64752862Aren't Olympic boxers usually young up and comers?
>>64752868In their mid 20s usually. Joshua Edwards for example was our giga nigga at 92kg and 6 foot 3
>>64752858>we actually learned something from Vietnam.I wouldn't go that far
>>64752875They're not pros though are they? Do you have to be amateur to compete?
>>64752879That changed in 2016
Russians believe they could kidnap Zelensky if Putin gave the word.
>>64752877Post the K/D ratio. Way better than Vietnam.
>>64752885Oh damn, shows how much I follow the olympics
>>64752879Boxing is a brutal sport and Olympians don't get paid. Professional boxers try not to work for free.
>>64752748>>64752778I'm sorry but besieging and effectively demolishing an entire city controlled by insurgents isn't really all that impressive of a win. Even the Flips managed to achieve similar results during the Battle of Marawi with a military that was considerably less modern.But you know what it is impressive? Breaking into a the a country with *relatively* up-to-date Russian air defense systems and snatching their president from his bed.
>>64752897.. yikes! still a sore loser..
>>64752897>the Taliban may have actually gotten the higher score
>>64752594He’s also fatter because he loves chimichangas.
>>64752929That's a little over 100 American deaths per year. Taliban deaths couldn't even be counted properly because their bodies were too mangled to determine if it was 1 or more, and they were hiding their dead.
>>64752877>points to the other warDespite making things unnecessarily hard with our everyone-must-go approach to the pre-OIF Iraqi government, the government we put in charge of Iraq remains functional, even if it's staggered a couple times. It has at least lasted longer on its own than South Vietnam, so that counts for something.
