    Russia is wasting no time here. They’re already starting to pull apart the US military while the tariffs plan strikes at the core of the US’s most important alliances. And their regime hasn’t even taken power yet.

      You have to give it to Russia; they’re doing a lot better in Cold War II than expected (not that that’s a good thing).

        We kinda left ourselves wide open by sanctioning a surveillance adtech economy and not prosecuting corruption. This is just the logical next stage (leverage surveillance adtech to sway votes and install the corruptible.)

      This is similar shit I pull in strategy games. Nevermind sending out armies, imma undermine their economy, kill their morale, and convert their officers. Only then would I, if this fails, consider sending in troops.

      We live in an age of unprecedented information exchange. Boots on the ground isn’t how war is fought anymore.

    “These officers are woke” he said as he handed him a list of all the black officers.

    They’ll do nothing about it, then breathe a sigh of relief that they don’t have to pretend to care about soldiers getting raped by their officers anymore.

    Watching the 1954 movie, White Christmas, at the moment. This movie would get BLASTED by the right wing if it came out today. A bunch of theatrical-minded, chatty soldiers. At one point they even imitate a girl’s routine.

    It’s extremely pro-vet, and they’d HATE it if it wasn’t already a classic.

      They should remake it shot for shot with Chris Evans and Tom cruise or something. No additions, a literal rewind.
