France and Germany lost roughly 2 million men each in World War 1, all for an imperialist boondoggle. Our generations don't know what it means to suffer and sacrifice.

National pride is what led millions into war to die for their nation's glory. We have been programmed to forget what that is. Do you think that's an accident?

I don't think we've been programmed away from it, unless you want to argue that future wars won't be fought primarily by boots on the ground. Nation states needed their people to want to "die for their nation's glory" if they had any hope of winning at war. If anything, national pride was mortally wounded in the euro states because they pushed their people way too hard for naught.

The U.S. and Allies took it directly upon themselves to psychologically beat nationalism out of the German populous after World War II in the famous "denazification" psychological warfare campaign. We made it happen because "hey, they're nazis" and "we don't want it to happen again." Well, guess what, we got what we wanted.

A foreign adversary who just destroyed your country and people coming in to psychologically beat nationalism out of you is completely different than your own nation covertly doing the same to its own people.

You definitely need to go look at what our media is doing right now and try telling yourself "denazification" hasn't been used as a playbook in most Western countries for the last half century.

Bullets have collided. One was static, other was shot from the barrel.

There are no rifle grooves on the second bullet.

I’ve recovered rifle bullets from soil before. I can tell you the impaled bullet struck the ground first much earlier, you can see the abrasion and deformation (squeezed like a thing of toothpaste) from yawing after impacting the soil, said soil can literally sand blast the rifling off the jacket as well.

The other bullet struck it some time later, after losing a lot of velocity due to the fact it didn’t OBLITERATE and pass through the other projectile.

As was mentioned below, the two impacting mid air is a lie, much like Biden winning.

So you're telling me there's a chance...

If they impacted when both where moving wouldn't the forward momentum of both projectiles greatly increase the chance of deflection instead of penetrating impact... The Deformation in the receiving bullet indicates it may not have been moving maybe it was lodged in a sandbag or dirt when it was hit..

I thought this was post-modern art depicting Big Mike and Bama.

this was done on an episode of mythbusters. I don't remember how many shots they had to fire, but they had 2 bullets hit midair

According to Mythbusters –

To take the myth out for target practice, the MythBusters first replicated the 19th-century miniball firing caps and gunpowder. Next, they lined up two gun barrels with laser sights and rigged up a simultaneous electronic triggering device to allow the weapons to shoot directly at each other.

Since the finicky firearms refused to discharge at the same time, the MythBusters set up a frame to hold one old-fashioned bullet in place. Then, they shot at the stationary bullet with one of the guns. Sure enough, when the moving bullet struck its ballistics bull’s-eye, the miniballs fused together.
