    Only four of the seventeen warthunder leaks have been about American equipment (and one manual for the export model of the F-15E (that IIRC was specifically the Saudi version? It was a whole thing at one point)).

    It seems likely that this meme is a reference to how fucking notoriously US diplomatic staff in china absolutely cannot keep it in their pants (note that it’s specifically about staff in china, we’re the ones crossing the borders here). I dunno, this doesn’t seem like “blaming foreigners” when it’s such a problem there has to be a public policy to combat dipshit american diplomats falling for it.

      I don’t get it. Like I’m a slut too, but I’ve never considered talking about work with people I’m sleeping with in a foreign country, even if it’s not defense work.

        You should see some of my DMs - if they’re horny enough, people will say anything to keep an attractive person interested in talking to them.

        Hey defense nerds! If you have information about the specific makeup of current-gen Chobham armor, I will 100% fly to you and let you pound my ass in exchange for it (been curious about that one for years now, warthunder has been disappointingly unforthcoming…)

        (side note: 98% of my interactions on lemmy have been great, but wow that 2%)

            Oh yeah, the only fun parts of reddit were the few friends I made and the mountain of horror stories I collected. Lemmy is so so much better right now, my god.

        Is the internet maturing?

        No, you just stumbled upon a fringe where the signal/noise ratio is slightly better.

        Sure you’re the most notorious troll on lemmy, but this is such obvious shit-stirrin’ that it feels… idk, kinda beneath you?

        “I don’t know why this deeply unpopular comment was downvoted, they seem totally reasonable to me” it’s just so straightforward. lacks the élan your comments usually have.

        Your conclusion is that it’s always getting blamed on the chinese, and your evidence is an extremely famous series of scandals that did not involve china…?
