@jukebox_heroperson3994 not really blowing anything out of proportion. And yes, we did bad things. a lot..... They just tend to get swept under the rug of History.

@carloschristanio4709 no one said that at all. However, many people try to pretend we wear black hats and white Hats.

@mh53j what does that have to With USA administration of the Philippines? Nothing....

@carloschristanio4709 there are no dots. Just wild fantasy.

What are you trying to imply?

@vikkimcdonough6153 no Spanish-American War screws up the entire historical timeline. Theodore Roosevelt remains a rather obscure assistant Secretary of the Navy. Everything becomes a Magic 8-Ball from there.

@thurin84 so is the whitewashing of History. The story of America has its dark sides.

@thurin84 on the other hand the term,"Yankee go home " was a earned one.

@thurin84 I would phrase it a bit less harshly.... We are Nation of plenty in a World of lesser well off. We have for reasons of political, security, economics and generosity have decided to aid other nations in development. As I sit doing my taxes however this weekend, do question if we could keep that generosity around here a bit?🙇🏽‍♂️💸💸💸💸 💸

@thurin84 Hmmmmmm, I could make a good balloon joke.🤔🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈💸💸💸💸💸💸 Sidewinder missiles are not cheap.
1
@thurin84 there's some technical reasons. Balloon altitude is pretty-much pushing the limits of the F-22. It was also the desire to get a quick deflation of the balloon. So they decided to go with the missile shot.
1
@thurin84 you still have the altitude problem. Reports are the balloon was flying at 65,000 feet. The F-22 did a missile launch at 58,000. That's pretty much at max operational ceiling. It doesn't have the engines or the high lift wings of say a U-2.
1
@thurin84 u-2 spy planes don't have guns. And no, the F-22 is maxing out at 58,000.Thus a missile shot.
1
@thurin84 the f-15c models are being withdrawn from service. And strike models are not going that high
1
@thurin84 so?
1
@thurin84 Yet, it wasn't....🤔
1
@thurin84 I think maybe USAF has a better idea of the tools they have at their disposal? We are now up to four intercepts and shoot downs. 0 gun kills.
1
@thurin84 three engagements and three victories by the F-22. Details on the shootdown over Lake Huron still coming. And yes no guns.

@Easy-Eight lot of hard, but sad truth in that reply.

@bkjeong4302 Why? 🤔 What is Nationalist China going to do with it?
1
@markjoenks2217 that's one of those impossible answer questions? You you have mixed a ton of History changes and what ifs.
1
@bkjeong4302 Flagship? You want to take a Japanese aircraft carrier as a war prize for a Nationalist China Navy that really does not exist or can operate one? 🤔 head scratch....

@seanthepugproductions1335 Fix Saratoga and send Ranger.
1
@SableLowry A manned missile? Not a great idea long term. Actual success? Mixed... While it could do a lot of damage. It's also easily countered by targeting its mother aircraft out of range of the ships. But in their credit, it's the great granddaddy of anti-ship missiles.
