China will turn them into mincemeat
Howwwwwwww. Our economy would crash before boots ever hit the ground. The world might end before boots hit the ground. It would definitely end when we lose and we can’t not lose.

Jup, not like they lost any valuable soldiers until now. Just disposable ukrainians.

Exactly.
Pretty sure they consider USians equally disposable. And easier to leverage their deaths for manufacturing consent.
Well, re:Iraq/Afghanistan, news of soldiers coming back in caskets very much contributed to Bush’s unpopularity. At the end of the day, chanting “we’re fighting for freedom! and democracy!” isn’t enough to keep 'muricans in hawkish zeal. It popped the popular perception that pointy end of the military industrial complex was only for
brown peoplenon-americans. Which is why proxy wars are the go-to now, much more secure in support from the metropole.edit: and less news of Americans dropping missiles on weddings
The American economy depends on the war budget.
The U.S. Army knows how hard it would be to invade Taiwan.
Invade!?!? But I thought we were defending democracy?!
funny how the truth slips out now and then
Thank god you have the archived version just in case they change it!
it’s crazy how archives have becomes essential at this point
I thought it was for the pay walls, here it is that they will cover the truth they let slip up.
Incidentally, paywalls also act as a barrier for the hoi polloi. Only the affluent get to see the full news, and these interesting tid bits tend to be buried deep behind the paywalls. Most people tend to only see the headlines that often completely misrepresent things.
About Trump and Harris:
Their approaches to turmoil in the Middle East are also expected to be at least rhetorically different.
But no matter who wins in November, the United States will continue to prepare for war with China.
Not even pretending anymore lol
And one — a 19-year-old private — began to fall quickly when his chute did not open. Across the field, shouts of “pull your reserve” could be heard before the young private hit the ground and medics ran to treat him.
Dude the US is gonna lose so hard lol
Look I am just hoping China makes it over here and I can surrender to the PLA
im planning to get a sailboat when ww3 starts hmu we will defect to china together lol
i will help paddle when there’s no wind!
I would fucking swim to China naked in shark-infested waters if I have to.
Ill take the help but only if you never live up to your name.
you might regret that if we run into jellyfish
i will not!
Same. Can I get on board?
hell yeah we gonna be packed in like sardines on our way to ask Xi to save us.
I think I’ll bring a second boat for my family and friends, we can hitch our sardine container capsules together.
That’s part of why I have a hammer and sickle tattoo. If or when China ever liberates the U.S., they’ll see my tattoo and know I’m on their side.

If US military suppliers are going to cheat the government with cut-rate products, it is given at this point
Critical support to scummy military contractors
Coffin stocks 📈
They’re all volunteers so hopefully every single one dies in pain and goes to hell.
Its prostitution. When society demands you pay more and more exhorberant fees to merely survive, the desperate often sell their own bodies to remain afloat.
For some that is sex work. For others, its the military. Sure, theoretically every one is volentarily taking these jobs of their own free will, but in reality it is almost always a forced choice out of duress.
most offensively incorrect comment ive seen on here maybe ever

Shameless comparison, prostitutes don’t commit war crimes, they are victims and hurt absolutely noone.

It’s a myth.

- Wouldn’t matter if it was true. You think Tito asked “did you really need this job though”? Nope, into the cuck pit you went.

So they open with an anecdote about how poorly trained/prepared US soldiers are that they die during training exercises, and then:
“Troops worked on new maneuvers patched together from watching Ukraine fight Russia.”
For a masterclass on surrendering? They have accepted they would stand no chance so want to practice their white flag deployments? And they think they would stand the slightest chance against China??? Not even accounting for the differences in equipment, just imagine how much more motivated the PLA would be when fighting to protect their homeland.
I “love” the American modus operandi of getting involved in wars, making a big deal out of how strong they are, loosing, and then repeating the whole cycle again over and over again.

“We didn’t lost in Vietnam, we just pulled out”
It’s a well oiled machine at this point.
They want to start another war? Are they not wearing themselves thin with Israel and Ukraine already?
Think of all the money that the military contractors are not making! Next year the CEOs won’t have to decide between a new jet or a new yacht, they could get both.
One would think two wars would be enough, but evidently not.
