I know he means interceptor missiles and such but I really want to believe it's a giant literal dome.
If anyone ever invaded america I would put aside my reservations, gather my courage and fight
For the other side
I have to wonder what the police and FBI and such would actually do if there were a land invasion of the US mainland. Would they spend most of their time away from the front rounding up innocent people and locking them away like in the first two world wars? Or, during an actual invasion, would they instead empty out the prisons and give every inmate a gun and tell them to march to the front with a bayonet pointed at their backs?
Why not both?
Round up everyone 'unpatriotic', and force them to fight for their country to have the charges dropped. Refuse (or defect) and be executed
Damn it, you're probably right. And I bet the way the government would spin this slave army policy would be to present it as a sensible centrist compromise that's not as bad as bringing back the draft.
Isn't that basically what Russia is doing? Conscripting all the young male prison inmates?
What I'm hearing is that he doesn't want WW3, which is not what I'm hearing from any liberals.
Anti-War candidate Trump! But seriously, libs want WWIII with Russia while cons want WWIII with China, Trump just wants to grift people off Trumpy Bear for godsake!
The left needs to go all-out on an internationally organised antiwar position against both sides of the establishment.
Reverse Star Wars... Instead of baiting the enemy (USSR) to spend all its industrial capacity to match fictitious American superweapons, now many Americans want the USA to spend all its industrial capacity to build wonder weapons that don't work? In a nuclear exchange, the difference between no mega iron dome and mega iron dome is whether Los Angeles gets blown up by the first missile or the third.
reverse star wars indeed, apropos of your comment, here's a jacob geller thing in which he proposes arms technology breakthroughs enable war rather than deter it.
That was a fun watch, although I personally don't think he argued that point well. Most of his supporting evidence were fictional weapons from media rather than real-life historical events. Not much better than a citation being "it appeared to me in a dream". He did effectively show how space lasers are depicted in fiction and the common themes around them, though.
I don't know, I didn't watch the video, but American government policy is based on popular movies and TV shows quite a bit. The most famous direct example would be what happened when Nixon watched Patton, but it's not the only one.
Patton is a biopic of US WW2 general George Patton. He's the general that said the US fought the wrong enemy and wanted to invade the USSR immediately after ww2. As for Nixon I'm curious too.
Nixon watched the movie over and over and over again and got so pumped up about it that him and Kissinger escalated the Vietnam war into Cambodia.
I feel like I should feel shocked or surprised at how fucking stupid that is and yet it just makes sense. How many people died brutal deaths because dick watched a fucking movie?? :agony-deep:
:a-little-trolling: And we're going to build a dome over the USA! crowd cheering That's right, that's right, a dome the likes of which no one has ever seen before! Bigger than the super-dome and the mega-dome, bigger than the dome in Bio-Dome even!
I know he means interceptor missiles and such but I really want to believe it’s a giant literal dome.
Remember when he kept claiming that the F35 is literally invisible? Fun times!
Well tbf the British Navy was able to make one disappear

Our big wet boy sure did do some character growth during the time skip. I wish he would grow a beard or wear a new fit to symbolize the character arc. What the fuck are we paying the animators' union for??
All I'm saying is that I have a bad bad feeling about the season finale punished Bernie vs bearded Trump
broke: voting based on a current war
woke: voting based on future wars
ICBM defense and nuclear bunkers are super dangerous. It has like a 10% success rate under absolute optimal circumstances with no countermeasures, and there's a total of like 12 of them to match 30,000 Russian warheads, but it makes people and politicians less afraid of blowing up the planet.
Look at this point I keep a handle of tequila with a bag taped to it with half a pack of cigs and [redacted] not to commit in alive but so I can be fucked up when the mushroom clouds come. (it takes 1 hour with like 2 am traffic to leave my city which is a major target)
As a comrade who can't afford a car, that's more or less what my bug bag is: a cigar, some vodka, and ████████████████████████████.
Trump did more to stop the war than anyone and he did it on accident while trying to get blackmail dirt on his opponents failson.
Truly, the silliest possible time line.
The accusation that Putin "rigged the election for Trump" did at least as much to undermine US/Russia relations. Arguably far more.
We all know Trump is anything but a peace loving hippy, etc etc
DAE Trump caused the war by not sending death machines???
:trump-moist: wants an arms race.
He tore up the weapons treaties.
He funded building more nukes, to the Dems creaming their pants over the money flowing into building them.
He helped to knock down the last barriers escalation and now that bombs are flying - I have the solution to protect against the mess I helped make.
This is just more WarBuck$ for the defense industry and the goading of Russia or China to "try something"
Broke: Build the Wall
Woke: Build better public transportation
Bespoke: Build a Dyson Dome and cover the land in darkness
He switched from Fox News to watching tv shows. Can’t wait until he starts watching anime and starts talking about how we need to be improving our Hidden Village and that there are not enough Chunins.
If we get Trump to watch One Piece he'll become the Comrade Trump meme
:monkey-paw-curl:
Trump gets really into Berserk and is in camp "Griffith Did Nothing Wrong" and wont stop tweeting about Femto.
Trump suddenly won't shut up about his neighbor, Totoro
If we get Trump to watch One Piece he’ll become the Comrade Trump meme
Sidebar: is One Piece worth getting into? I only have so many years in my life, and I generally prefer series that I could conceivably finish before the heat death of the universe.
