    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?!

    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.

    Dude the US is gonna lose so hard lol

    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.

    Troops worked on new maneuvers patched together from watching Ukraine fight Russia.

    Lmfao. So they're fighting to every last Ukrainian as a training exercise, so that they can observe how to lose a war as preparation for losing to China.

        You know thats how the west sees Ukraine, because that's the main propaganda they run about Russia with the "disposable hordes sent to die on the Frontline".

        Every accusation is a confession.

        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.

          edit: and less news of Americans dropping missiles on weddings

          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.

    Howwwwwwww. Our economy would crash before boots ever hit the ground. The world might end before boots hit the ground. It would definitely end when we lose and we can't not lose.

    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.

    They want to start another war? Are they not wearing themselves thin with Israel and Ukraine already?
