If you guys have Google Earth handy, go ahead and click this link:

Check out this satellite shot of an old Air Force base from today... the resolution is actually pretty insane.

BOOM!

Anyway, if you look just a little further down, you can spot the leftovers from the old military fleet—a few Mig-21s, some Eagles, Galeb jets, Antonov transports, and even a couple of Learjets (probably some tycoon's private toys, haha). Right next to the hangars, you can still see those dark scorch marks on the ground where planes used to burn during the war... back when they were busy bombing us.

Thanks, America! 🙏

Oh, you really are such a weakling, aren't you?
Pfft.

ugh, gross.


So what? What's the big deal if some of the Air Force's old jets got toasted? Who cares?

This is a direct nod to that whole "thanks, America!" sentiment!
And honestly, it isn't just about that one point being spot on, is it?

And you’re out here throwing shade at France too... truly top-tier stuff right there.

Those were the days... Not quite on the level of the victory parades, but still worth a few happy tears.

What exactly are you celebrating?🙄

That’s what I call someone living without any real purpose in life.
I truly believe that everyone needs at least one passion or hobby to get excited about, don't you? It’s how you remind yourself that you’re actually out there living, isn't it?

What a shame.

Hmmmmm...
I’m sorry, but did anyone actually mention the deceased?
That little jab was meant specifically for those of you who seem to be celebrating this!
Do I really need to draw you a map to make it clearer?

You were asking if you should draw it... well, we basically said... what I'm looking for from you next is that drawing... 🙂

So go ahead, tell me how we're all the bad guys here!😉
I am heading off to bed now.
Goodnight, everyone.
😘

And then you'll probably just lock the thread, won't you? How lovely.

Here’s a satellite shot of the old airbase from today... pretty high res, too.

BOOM!

Actually, if you look just a bit further down, you can still spot the remains of the old Air Force—a few Mig-21s, some Eagles, Galeb jets, Antonov transports, and even a couple of Learjets (probably owned by some tycoon). Right next to the hangars, you can still see the scorched patches where planes burned during those much "happier" days when they were bombing us.

Thanks, America! 🙏

Take a look at the tower over at Avalon, too!🙏 🙏 🙏

I WOULD PAY FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I'm just glad the enemy's gear is trashed. What's your problem?

Back in '91, there was definitely a sense of grim satisfaction in America watching our enemy's hardware get wiped out—but let me tell you, anyone even remotely connected to the travel industry was absolutely devastated by the total collapse of the tourist season. We’re talking about a sixty percent drop compared to what we saw back in '98. And honestly, it wasn't just us feeling the sting, either; folks over in Venice were feeling the hit just as hard...

Are the moderators trying to test my patience?
