    My guy you can’t even win at videogames you are not a military strategist. That said he’s probably right just because it is fucking obvious.

      idk paying people to win games for you is a pretty good strategy, don’t know how well it’d translate to irl military strategy though lol

    really? he thinks the amount of weapons are the problem? and not that there’s nowhere near enough manpower who are motivated enough to sacrifice their life for pocket change and the noble goal of raising profits for some delusional oligarchs?

    The Hitlerists had to get stalingraded before they started bullshitting people with their Wunderwaffen pipedreams, but i guess you can also just start with this while you’re in the planning stage for your next war.

    Edit: next wars, sorry. ofc they’ll do the usual nazi shit and open up as many fronts as possible.

        There is a zero percent chance he does. He said chess would be improved by having “fog of war and tech trees.” He’s such a gremlin.

      He will buy Boston Dynamics, rebrand it as X-terminate, use one of those shitty robots as a weapons platform and call it a “Dalek”, for the epic memes. Then pretend he inverted it right before it fails spectacularly and kill a shitload of bystanders during a test deployment. Trump will sink $100b into it.

    Maybe he’s listening to us tankies on the socials and using that to guide his strategy. Cut all of the payments to the MIC until they start functioning.

    And maybe he’s close enough to the mark that Chinese intelligence decided it was time to stop the flow of tungsten.

      Tungsten is also a critical component of the semiconductor manufacturing industry. It’s used to shield the silicon from copper, which is necessary but also dangerous because it likes to travel through silicon.

    Yes, the US will lose the next war. But imagine living through the last few years and thinking the problem isn’t in productive capabilities but rather that we need to put even more money into wunderwaffen that won’t actually work.
