Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.

Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an “unprecedented mass deployment” to Europe.

    I’m not the one who made the “dick” comment…

    I’m not trying to convince anyone of something.

    You’re saying they should change their tone. 🤷‍♂️ Meh. Whatever you say.

      Apologies, I didn’t realize that you weren’t the person that I originally responded to.

      I’m not trying to convince them. I don’t give a fuck if they change their tone. I was only telling them why the post wasn’t well received.

        Right, fair enough I guess. I just can’t see where exactly the dickishness lies. I don’t see a “tone” anywhere.

          As a whole it sounds like a, “you’re wrong, educate yourself, there’s only one way out of this”. I did intentionally say “kinda like a dick”, because it wasn’t super harsh, just enough off putting.

          The edits were the icing that put everyone else off.

            I’ve reread the comment and its edit now numerous times to try and find the tone. To me, they just sound motivational, seriously. Like, “go look at the facts 👏🧠, don’t be defeatist! 💪 Letsfuckinggooo”. Maybe I have the completely wrong vibe. I don’t know.

      No but you’re the kind of person who starts to DM people when you can’t keep spreading your casual sexism. Do you just go everywhere and troll people/get into fights?

      Everyone should block this asshole. I’m about to myself. He was being a piece of shit sexist in another thread, and when the moderator locked it down, he started to DM me going “debate me bro.”

        Hahaha WHAT? You’re a liar for saying I’m a sexist and for saying I said those things in DMs. Post whatever evidence you want, you asshole. I dare you.

        Do you also go around saying men raped you when they didn’t?

        God, I was hoping I wouldn’t run into people like this here on Lemmy. I thought Lemmy would be different.

        At least it took over a year or two until I ran into one again. That’s to Lemmy’s credit.
