But isn't Trump a Russian asset?

The MIC wants another war with the US being directly involved this time. Rule of Acquisition 34: war is good for business.

Big War is doing rails of coke.

If we could harness the power of their murder erections we could solve climate change.

He would first have to purge the military of career generals loyal to the constitution and replace them with loyalists.

Oh.

Wait is this somebody who is actually based in trump’s clique?

Downvote me all you want but if there is a chance that we’re going to see Moscow glassed i’m almost happy that the orange motherfucker won.

Big “if” though, better start working on that nuclear suitcase come January, you bloated bag of garbage.

Hey, quick question. Are you male and old enough to be drafted?

You seem a little eager for WWIII, and I'm wondering if you're going to be one of the people fighting in it.

Ah, the usual bullshit argument of “go fight it”. Do you think WW3 would have trenches and bayonet charges? This is 2024 and we are the west, we have delegated war to technological superiority backed by doomsday devices. Sure we’d have a few casualties, that’s unavoidable - but hey, omelette and eggs.

To answer your question directly, as silly as it is: my country doesn’t have a draft, we have a professional army which would be more than enough with the rest of NATO to annihilate Russia. But if it came to it, if my death in a bayonet charge contributed to the destruction of Russia, sign me the fuck up.

Needs of the many, etc.

But if it came to it, if my death in a bayonet charge contributed to the destruction of Russia, sign me the fuck up.

And the deaths of your loved ones? Your sons, your nephews, your brothers? Still worth it?

Not to mention the lives of the soldiers you kill in battle. Every one of them as precious as yours.

[–] Draghetta@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hey don’t get me wrong, I don’t like dead people (me very much included) any more than you do.

But yes, I think that a few deaths - including mine and my loved ones, as it can happen, if it comes to it - in exchange for the destruction of Russia is a bargain.

Russia poses an existential threat to our society and to the world at large. Who do you think is pushing the climate change denial agenda?

Much more damage and much more death and suffering will happen if Russia keeps existing.

Rupert Murdoch.

Ah well, that too :D multiple bad guys can coexist, unfortunately.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Fortunately glassing a whole city only gets the bad guys there. Otherwise that would be a horrible idea.

I heard throwing a small bomb a few minutes before the big bomb is called "knocking" and apparently gives a free pass to do whatever you want because the population has been warned

[–] Draghetta@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I know right? Big fan of Arnaud Almaric’s approach here.

Don’t worry though, it’s very unlikely for there to be good guys in Mordor :)

Just sailed right on by the forever wars and another Crusade, huh.

We do live in interesting times.

Mike Waltz has called for a “credible military option” against Iran, wants to “take the handcuffs off” Ukraine, and regrets ending the "multi-generational war" in Afghanistan.
