    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

    The U.S. Army knows how hard it would be to invade Taiwan.

    Invade!?!? But I thought we were defending democracy?!

              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.

    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.

        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 people non-americans. Which is why proxy wars are the go-to now, much more secure in support from the metropole.

    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.

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

          2. It’s a myth.

          1. 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.
