Only to buy all American weapons that both don’t work and require American troops/technicians to maintain

Would be very interesting to see how many actually died at Bragg vs how many died overseas doing very illegal things that the public shouldn’t know about, but we’ll likely never know

Was going to post this as it’s own comment but I think I see what you mean.

I was out with some friends recently and most of the discussion was typical small talk, catching up type stuff. Me and 1 friend got into a discussion about music. We were talking about how listening to music by yourself is really an entirely new thing, and that throughout history music has been a communal/social experience. Like when people used to be forced to work 12+ hour days, 6/7 days a week, and then Sunday they’d get together and play music together, and how it was the likely the only good thing going for them.

Then someone else jumps in and says “wow this is so deep” and just completely fucking killed the whole vibe, conversation went back to shallow small talk. It was as if the conversation being deeper than “what have you been up to?” actually bothered this person. And it was barely even a “deep” thing to talk about!

I think you’re absolutely right that late stage capitalism has utterly destroyed our ability to connect. It’s like everyone is afraid to say anything beyond the superficial for some reason

If the Nazis had just not had their Western campaign at tje same time as they went East, Western Europe and the US would have ignored them even if they beat the USSR and created slave societies out of every nation to their east.

Britain and France declared war 2 days after Poland was invaded.

There is a very good chance this is a teenager because that’s exactly the type of shit I used to say

ICE has been very deliberate in targeting the most defenseless people and communities and are avoiding anywhere known to have gangs.

They’re showing up at court hearings and elementary school graduations instead

The actual election doesn’t take place until November 4th :)

Zionist air defense missiles are almost certainly made with the rare earth metals that China both has a monopoly on and resumed trading them with the US, the country that manufactures the Zionist AD missiles.

I think they got slightly lowered tariffs in return for switching the US MIC back on. Hope it’s worth it to them.

the army’s Ranger Handbook is free online and full of good stuff

I wonder how much of it is incompetence/combat stress/fear of the soldiers operating them. I imagine they’re not exactly in a clear and calm state of mind

THAAD system is operated by US troops right?

During True Promise 1 or 2 they did. They hit tank and troop gatherings but I don’t really remember any specifics or how effective it was.

Holy shit

And a few short years later the United States used biological weapons in Korea

GOLD accessories are acceptable as well.

Trump’s obsession with gold will always be hilarious to me

The biggest approval hit Biden took during his entire term was because he ended a war. Americans fucking love war and simply posting “you are wrong” doesn’t change reality.

Time to sell gunpowder to my neighbor who keeps promising to shoot me

Hmmm today I will resume selling metals used for building high tech weapons of war to the country that has stated multiple times they will invade me

Friend worked at a gun store in 2020 and he said every day would come in and try to buy an AR-15 because they were genuinely terrified that black people would come to their sundown town suburb to burn their houses down.

I remember meeting a couple of these types too and they were 100% sincere with their fear of their homes being burned down by rioters (all miles away from any city/protest). I think a large part of that fear is that deep down they know they deserve something like that happening to them.

It’s actually impossible to tell if they’re making up stories to hide that they got 🔻 or if they actually are this comically incompetent
