boutta hundred million people in the global south are already dealing with fuel shortages, panic buying at pumps, stay-home orders, shutdowns, etc.

meanwhile trump is waving a sword around and calling himself a 'king'. it's actually obscene shit.

the petrodollar cannot fold fast enough. really smart idea to immiserate all your allies who have been buying your bonds and keeping your hegemony alive for the last 50 years.

secretary of war firing 12 generals including the army chief of staff (thank you for your 4 decades of service).

an alcoholic with call of duty skin pack tattoos is trying to put boots on the ground on iran loooool.

it’s very funny that you assassinated the despotic leader of an out of control theocracy and yet the regime looks solid. meanwhile you’ve got evangelicals doing armageddon group prayers in the white house and a coup looks like a more sensible option than ever before.

Don't try and pin this on one person.

The entirety of Israel and the bulk of global jewry support this.

The difference between the jews and the nazis is the average german didn't know what was happening and had no say.

With the jews they are fully aware and in full support, and have been before and after the nazis existed.
Fuck Israel

where did i try to pin it on one person? pointing out that he's the current govt's equivalent of himmler - the hard-line extremist and ideological poisoner - is not saying he is the sole person to blame? any more than himmler was the sole person responsible for the nazi disaster?

are you illiterate? your anti-semitism turns you into a jabbering idiot.

and i would say your average german was pretty well aware of what was happening, actually. claims to ignorance are inane special pleading and historical revisionism. i'm sure the germans in small-town bavaria didn't notice their villages were emptied of jews and shops, property and wealth quietly requisitioned. no sir, not us.

read a book instead of laundering the holocaust, idiot. there is plenty of good literature on this topic. i recommend 'Backing Hitler: Consent and Coercion in Nazi Germany' by prof. gellately (oxford university press). the general historical consensus is very much that the german populace were aware of concentration camps and all the rest of it. stop reading david irving books.

how you leapt from my post to defending genuine-article nazis really does say quite a lot about your pickled brain.

Iran shot down an American plane. Both sides are looking for the pilots. Americans were led to believe that Iranian air defense didn't exist anymore and they were just firing drones and missiles.

america couldn't even root out the taliban. how anyone could think we have a full picture on iranian depos and underground basing and whatnot is beyond me. meanwhile the 'military targets' in this war are hospitals, schools, and unarmed vessels. civilian infrastructure! we're gonna flatten a whole island!

impressive stuff to beat your chest about!

I saw the government release a video of them proudly air striking a pickup truck they say was used to launch drones. We claimed we hit over 10,000 targets. I wonder how many were pickup trucks, tents, etc.

We apparently are running out of guided munitions. Trump asked for 1.5 trillion for war while planning cuts to social services.

"Mohammad Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s Parliament and a key government figure overseeing the war, took to social media to mock the Trump administration as U.S. forces searched for a missing American airman from a downed fighter plane. “This brilliant no-strategy war they started has now been downgraded from ‘regime change’ to ‘Hey! Can anyone find our pilots? Please?'”he said in a post on X. “Wow. What incredible progress. Absolute geniuses.”"

do americans know what anything is named anymore? probably wake up tomorrow and washington dc will be named trumplandia through executive order, and if the press doesn't comply, they won't be invited to white house events. trump's own geographic prowess is a matter of complete hearsay thanks to rfk jr's croaking anecdotes. next time, bring a camera.

this is a circus and people are dying.

if the money isn't available on the federal level it certainly won't exist for many states, actually!

trump is mentioning NATO every fucking day in some capacity or other. your MAIN paper of record doesn't know what it stands for. something of utmost geopolitical importance.

never mind draining the swamp, america has sunk into a peat bog. you have the brains of early hominids.

early hominids would at least be able to identify an edible fruit, zeek. ours are doused in shellac or whatever, and grown with the help of traditionally shady pesticide companies. can you even start an apple orchard in america without signing license agreements with the Owners of the Genetic Strains?

my not being subbed to nyt isn't going to make much difference. the year is 2030, all these publications are hollowed out, and content is form-filled and fact-checked by ai on the cheapest plan. i don't know if i'm gaslighting myself but i can see a sharp spike in "that's such an ai way to word stuff" for the last few years all over the place. i go back to something written in 2010 just to cleanse the palate.

"america sucks and needs to fuck off" is valid.

as everyone here is aware, i have Conversations with individuals.

what exactly do americans think we do irt military installations and civilians? entire towns are built up around american bases as necessary support infrastructure where people live and work day to day and their kids grow up. icbms rising out of rural farmland is a nuclear war meme. if a bunch of civilians died in a major strike against a us military target, americans would be screaming about it.

it's weird to me that people think taking out a 'suspected rifle cache' or whatever is worth flattening a hospital full of people. how quickly they shifted from 'america first' isolationism right back to cheerleading the exploding of people on the other side of the planet on the say-so of some fucking clown and all the clowns in his ear.

Ask them how they feel about the generals getting purged. Apparently the Army Chief of Staff didn't want to cosign an invasion.

if it's something that puts them in a tough spot, they ignore it or "well i haven't read much about it" or "i don't pay attention to that stuff" or "federal workers get fired all the time. clinton fired people!"

bunch of stuff like:
"trump is considering doing this legally dubious thing."
"it'll never happen. the courts wouldn't allow it."
"he's doing it."
"well congress will put a stop to it."
goto 1

i don't believe a word of the excuses. if gas goes up 1/2 a cent under a democrat, i'd hear about it within hours. absolute crickets when it comes to trump's unnecessary global energy crisis because he wanted to blow stuff up. zip, nada. maybe a noncommittal comment like, "hey, gas is under $x in y town!"

it's ok for the right to joke about, or dismiss as jokes the consideration of, culling the dems. but i also get to hear about that one liberal actor who made a mean comment about republicans 20 years after the fact. or how hillary called them deplorables. you know what? she was right the first time. someone who can claim to listen to one of these rambling, vitriolic trump speeches and think "he's my guy" is probably a deplorable person for their own bigoted shortcomings or willful, uncaring, shortsighted ignorance about what they've gotten themselves into. but there's no excuse now. maybe they're even outwardly nice, but what a stain. "a nice day out with the fam" lmao.

and also? the ones who are jumping ship already earned their financial reckoning. at least their family hasn't been mulched!!

the explicitly 'no more wars!' demographic flipped straight to 'git the bad guys!!!' within the space of about 24 hours.

makes you think your average voter really is not that bright. i don't mean in terms of political savvy or geopolitical knowledge, either. i mean like on the level of defective IQ.

I receive political training through various organizations. The big one I am connected to basically told us "Politics is now very vibe based. Social media presence and identity is more important than trying to convince voters of your platforms. If the voters identify with you they will conform to your views."

Heard it repeatedly from Republitards

When a Republican is in: "He's the PRESIDENT of AMERICA, the COMMANDER IN CHIEF, everyone has to get behind him"

When a Democrat is on "Pfft I didn't vote for him, he's not my President'

be america.
spend the entirety of the cold war forming and propping up a bulwark against communism in east and south-east asia.
trillions of dollars spent.
100,000 americans dead, half a million maimed and injured.

insist on your asian allies continuing fealty in the neo-imperialist project of pax americana.
station your soldiers on their soil.
fly your helicopters and jets over their residential areas.
rape their women and assault their locals with impunity.

force your defensive weapon systems and radar stations upon them, at great diplomatic cost to relations with their neighbours.

.... and then burn a century of effort and ties in the space of a month.
drive your asian client states into the waiting arms of china.

are ya winning, son?

the 'history guys' among the conservatives have fully retreated into "i'm sure it'll be fine." we weren't going to invade venezuela. we weren't going to invade iran. now we definitely aren't going to invade greenland. it'll never happen. it's all for show.

the us military flies jets and helicopters over our own communities. blow stuff up on their blowing stuff up ranges. it shakes a home's frame loose. breaks up drywall. have fun sleeping through that. donald trump wants to resume nuclear testing. usa is not going to respect someplace overseas.

i wonder how many rapes of our own uniformed women alone happened with impunity. i have zero ill will towards those who want an american base gone from their community.
