If you are going to deploy a force, it better be an overwhelming one.
The intimidation factor alone can end the conflict before it even begins, which would be the best outcome.
If it doesn't, it's the best chance you have to minimise casualties on your side.
Wyatt Phillips
>Is the US invading Mexico?
Mexico and BC.
Christian Clark
The first armored division is stationed st Fort Bliss, which is on the border. Big nothingburger.
Parker Nelson
No use in threatening Mexico unless we're actually going to *threaten* Mexico. Crossing the border with some tanks and blowing up some of their bridges will send a strong message.
Connor Rodriguez
It's because of the war that is about to pop off in Venezuela, 100,000's of migrants will be trying to immigrate to the US
Juan Davis
tanks are always being delivered to and from the border in any country senpai , you need tanks on the border to be ready for war but they usually require more thorough maintenance of part replacement once in a while that can only be done in dedicated bases usually not on the border .
also you need tanks to cover your soldiers at the border because border chimpouts are primarily used for terror attacks , i've seen many cases of people blending with the crowd with guns and opening fire on the other side when they get close or using the chaos to plant IEDs on the border patrol route , tanks are very good at area denial so if you place them in a sparse formation they can cover tens of kilometers easily and provide a second line of defense if the first line of infantry is zerged.
Juan Adams
>Not the kind you stop a march with they said themselves they're an organized group that wants to violate american sovereignty illegally by force , we call that an invasion and tanks are excellent at stopping invasions .
Happens a lot you have a refurb program for m1s; you'll get a batt sending all assets in pretty cool to watch. Also need for tanks on the border; in fact it would be the worse thing to use for mobility CROW humvees and Sharks will be used..
Owen White
isnt that the whole point ? instead of trying to evade border guard and sneak in they're using strength of numbers to invade and overwhelm the US side ?.
we've dealt with bigger infestation hives .
your best option is to get glow in the dark cia niggers to infiltrate their camps and put laxatives in all the food on the day before the invasion .
abrams is more swarm resistant then humvees ,can more reliably drive over a hive without getting the tracks clogged up wheres humvee can easily be immobilized by hive . again this depends on where they choose to attack if its an open place humvee can kite them from a distance . if it's el paso they can ambush humvees in the streets but then again in el paso you can fortify and hold the rio grande line .
Brayden Ramirez
There is currently a ridiculous amount of drugs pouring into the us border towns via cartel tunnels and drones and a ton of violence and murders on the Mexican side as different cartels fight over territory. Basically in border towns in the us you can expect at least half the people you come across to be meth/coke/heroin users these days, especially people who are in the demographic that care of age during the Great Recession year’s and were unemployed during their most productive years and have given up even in this ‘booming economy’.
The situation is untenable and drugs are so prevailing that cops won’t even bother you smoking a crack pipe im broad daylight on mainstraight while slinging 8balls to anyone who passes by. Cops just don’t have the manpower to deal with the quantity of cases; you can’t lock up half the population, so cops ignore the addicts unless they start assaulting people or destroying property
Xavier Nelson
Anyway point I was making is ya military is gonna enter Mexican territory and wipe out cartels like they were ISIS. They already have permission from the Mexican gov
Dylan Bailey
>railroads are obsolete user >take the hyperloop user I'd like to see any other transport method carry the kind of tonnage a rail system can.
Samuel Walker
Why, because its made up?.....like all words are
Adrian Mitchell
Rail put the boat guys out of business, there has been nothing to date to compete
Alexander Mitchell
When talking geo-politics, it is best to avoid giving away your position by referencing old starcraft strategies. See? Your position is mammas basement, amirite?
Austin Reed
I have no idea what is going on in the world. But I have met several soldiers fresh from Afghanistan. You know what they are doing there? Guarding opium poppy fields.
Whatever the fuck is going on, the US military is the boss, make no mistake.
Jackson Edwards
all for show. some migrants have already arrived and are staying in churches in missouri
Charles Cox
>I'm not sure the term "zerged" is a real word... >Not knowing your StarCraft memes Learn yourself gud, BOI.
Well if you're sending troops 5km south across the border to create a illegal immigrant containment zone outside US soil, then you'll need to defend the perimeter. Who said the wall had to be made of bricks?
Hunter Adams
People may rag on the US for a shit rail system that can't haul passengers, but for freight and intermodal, it's been a solid performer. I do agree it's too slow though. The US hasn't had a good fight in years and mobilizing has proven slower than expected.
Xavier Ramirez
those are tesla model 3s waiting to be distributed
Jason Thomas
Still means that up high someone decided to ship a shitload of Abrams to the border.
Angel Martinez
This is actually plausibe.
Henry Howard
It's amazing how thin the armor is in the M1 for what it protects against. That armor must cost a fortune in precious metals and materials alone, never mind the brain work that makes it possible.
Luis Scott
No. Israel is the boss of the US military, make no mistake.
James Reed
1AD and 5th AB is station in el paso / ft bliss. the heavy equipment is going there, not to the border per se. normal.
Brandon Stewart
It is a scientific miracle. Can't wait to see active protection systems in action in the near future.
Aiden Morgan
Ok, mini-boss.
Cooper Turner
you seem to be particularly experienced in this field
Jordan Robinson
This guy knows what's going on.
US is teaming up with Brazil to handle Venezuela. We've been training for jungle conditions all year.
Nicholas Evans
>active protection system >electronic countermeasures against dakka I'd want to learn more about this, but alas it's classified and resources are sparse.
Brazil is still hit hard due to Operation Car Wash so their resources may be limited. How did the Petrobras scandal work out for Brazil?
Juan Turner
>units going to fort Irwin >WERE GOIN TA WAR
every god damn time. Learn what the NTC is already you dumb xniggers
Justin Peterson
the best part is when they bounce the shells of the abrams. hopefully they use some incendiary rounds as well to really fuck up the crowd, burn a hole right through some prego chick
Juan Long
Mexico seems to have forgotten the military might of America and the rest of the world thinks America is Europe and can just walk on in if the herd is big enough. It’s a show of force and a lesson
Liam Clark
You’ve also got much less ground to cover
Kevin Hall
it's not that new , APS has been put into tanks since like 2012 and has been used to intercept many dozens of antitank rockets . build walls with remote turrets like pic related , guaranteed to demoralize zergrushes if they think they're gonna get killed by robotic turrets
Heavy armor doctrines were abandoned with FSDS rounds, trading for speed, spaced composit armor, and angles; it’s the best way to deflect a needle
Elijah Rivera
I fucking hate you Aussie faggots. Your accent sounds like a constipated English accent fucking a stupidly drunk Scott and you smell like the mucus on an Emu's stool. Fuck you nigger down unders. And what's up with you saying mate all the time? The fuck is that shit? You're like robotic parrots.
The moment the caravan steps across our border it is a foreign invasion and an act of war. We will proceed to march through Mexico, taking down the cartels and constructing "temporary" military bases and assigning regional governors under the pretense of restoring and maintaining order in hostile regions. Sweeping through all the way to Panama to chase down the remnant guerilla forces, doing the same as we did in Mexico. Unofficially occupying the entirety of central america.

im not interested in holding any land with civilians and guerillas mixed in... This would only be acceptable if they wiped the slate clean and either a.) drove them all into south america b.) murder them all
William Bennett
This alone is a materials science wet dream. If even one classified material went into civilian mass production, it would make drastically stronger and safer structures. I'm thinking this could have very good applications in automotive industry, as UHSS is really making safe cars very heavy. Auto industry is doing platform-wide redesigns because the vehicles themselves also cannot pile on more weight for safety. Everyone drives big cars here now.
Dominic Ramirez
Even better if its combined with a false flag attack from agents within the caravan. Throw around some stories that Mexico armed them. etc.
Jose Wright
youtube.com/watch?v=vBW9P6mragU IIRC it's just the regular namer remote turrets just mounted on towers and walls . it's also operated by an all female unit , the same people who used to just operate telescopic cameras and coordinate attacks around gaza .
You should hook this up online, stream the camera and charge $1 USD to aim and take a shot, with a bulk purchase deal for ten extra shots for a purchase over $100.
You won't even need US foreign aid with that kind of profit.
Justin Perry
>everyone rams each other with heavy material consumer tanks >gas guzzling ones on top of that Sounds like automotive and O&G’s wet dream
Adam Miller
>You should hook this up online, stream the camera and charge $1 USD to aim and take a shot, with a bulk purchase deal for ten extra shots for a purchase over $100. this is unironically my dream for the US border... just gamers patrolling it and paid for kills.... People wait up in queue for the next happening que'd up by sensors. They send the player to the turret. The player has 10 seconds to acknowledge the request and then is allowed 3 shots while another player does the spotting. Kills are confirmed by both players. Shooter gets 50 dollars, spotter gets 75.
Eli Foster
It's a side effect of the Military Industrial Complex. Eventually the trickle down to civilian market and a cripplingly impulsive desire to expand the market outside of the battlefield will probably lead to this.
David Flores
>le evin foreign aid meme you know its just a scam to launder money from us taxpayer to us defense industry right ? 80% of it just goes straight to them . also im pretty sure just the ammo is more then 1$ , maybe somewhere around 2$ per round .
Ryan Turner
Just a thought. The dollar is a scam too, just one that works really slow. Everyone that isn't outpacing inflation is getting poorer.
Joshua Murphy
Needs more foxbats in bunkers to reliably repel the Zerg.
Jack Foster
I think both USA and Mexico would appreciate this more than ever given what's happening right now.
Imagine there are 10 welfare cheques inside a box, and a hundred niggers in a cage next to the box. Zerging is what happens to the box when you open the cage door
>the migrant caravan was a plot of trump to have an excuse to get troups close to the boarder so he can blitzkrieg mecico He said they will pay for the wall
Ryder Sanders
until they're cleared to engage protesters with either lethal or even non lethal, i call bullshit and that the tanks are just going to or from an military training area.
WHY? Because mexicans have fucktons of esses n vatros in your military. The day you make a military move on their motherland is the day you will see a coup that would make Turkey's look like paintball game.
Sorry Spic Mo it is not the fatherland but a waste land of which I and fellow Texan's would gladly glass. Every pro Mexico Beaner would be Purged !!
Josiah Perez
No one is worried about the guys in the canteen or the vehicle pool staff when it comes to war. Vatoes, literally useless high school dropouts, they don’t get guns
Michael Walker
>texas
already lost blanco pandejo terrorista, you just dont know it yet.
It's time to pay for the wall Mexico. What did you expect, that it will found itself???
Brayden Lee
say its all to stop a caravan of immigrants amass a sizable force on the border then blitz the cartels before they even know what hit them.
Cameron Gonzalez
Mightily checked fren. May the dakka be in your favor, and may more dakka follow suit.
Christian Price
This, we're declaring war on Mexico and purging the cartels/militant migrants.
