This is especially apparent given literally every other episode of American history.

The empires been in a state of decline for decades at this point. WW3 has also arguably been ongoing for a few years. Remember, WW2 only “offically” began in 1939 when western imperial states (britain and france) directly entered the war against Germany. But conflict had been raging in Europe through the 30’s (spain) as well as the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. Then there was also the Japanese invasion of China beginning in 1931. So by the time western europe went to war, China had already been fighting for nearly a decade.

The current conflict will see the reach and influence of the empire beyond its immediate sphere disintegrate, but it will be far from over.

In one framing, the question is pretty simple: is the United States government and military willing to carry out the most evil and violent act in human history?

FOR A THIRD TIME.

I think we all know the answer to this. It was only a matter of time before it came to this. No way the US goes down without lashing out with everything at its disposal.

Not quite, most people are still just blaming Trump as if he’s an aberration. Not the system that produces people like Trump

I’d love to see what kind of mental gymnastics the libs will use to vault over this one

Love me some “strongly condemning”. They don’t even dare say they condemn the IOF responsible. Just the end result.

More like projection because we actually have credit scores in the west based on everyday behavior that actually does what Westoids think the social score in China does

Apparently, it was an agricultural runway they used

Too many laundry machines and not enough lint trap cleaning i guess

Colonel’s are senior officers, tho.

I don’t understand, is the news about the guy switching parties or Canadian state media projecting conspiracy theories and pretending Canada doesn’t benefit from or use forced labor? Because nothing in that article seems to actually address him crossing the floor other than the title and is instead just a red scare piece.

Why is this posted here? Is this some kind of satire?

They don’t call them crayon eaters for nothing. I think you’d be disturbed at the general lack of intelligence amongst soldiers.

There’s also a sense of invincibility mixed in there

Trumps gonna wear down their willingness to fight by forcing Iranian leadership to constantly post on social media and hold pressers refuting his endless bs

Yeah exactly

Conservatives are often pretty accurate in terms of their analysis on why capitalism isn’t going their way. But their conclusions are always “we just need more capitalism” or “we need to go back to 1980”. They aren’t questioning the overall economic system they’re just throwing a fit because they’re also being affected by the decay of capitalism and then direct that anger at the current capitalist leaders. In other words, it’s reactionary rhetoric analyzing the symptoms but failing to address the root cause.

Honestly, I doubt it. The EU itself is pretty divided with eastern european countries being far more sympathetic to the US because of their extreme Russophobia. While the US is already viewed pretty negatively in western Europe. I think what we’re seeing now with EU countries denying US use of their airspace is about as far as they’ll go for now. Maybe a few countries like Spain and Italy would push for the total withdrawal of US forces in the aftermath of a nuclear strike but it’s hard for me to imagine the EU openly confronting the Americans given they are trying to keep the US as involved as possible in Ukraine to prevent a total Russian victory. Without the US, the EU is nothing.

In what sense?

Between this, the Italian minister and that guy resigning his post at the UN yesterday I wonder if this is because the US is moving nuclear weapons to Iran and these countries don’t want to be seen as being potentially implicated in a nuclear attack

So, they’re just letting generals run their own programs and procure their own weapons and equipment? In other words, are these the initial steps in the process of seeing the devolution of the US military into separate factions under individual warlords?
