It’s honestly kind of hilarious how much of an overt psychopath he’s showing himself to be in that pic. Like, someone had a heart attack or whatever, and he’s visibly like “this is interrupting my very special announcement >:(“

Which is even more insane.

But at the same time, 40 or so of our states have been essentially un-developing for the last couple decades. The US is essentially a dozen first-world countries supporting a few dozen third-world countries, and the latter constantly politically attack the former. Really would be nice if those of us who live in the actually productive regions could just cut bait on the regressive states and let them find out the hard way.

OOTL: what’s “that one Chun Li tweet”

Good fucking riddance. She is a big fucking part of how we got where we are today.

It’s super cool how the regime thinks they can dictate what the economy does and what socioeconomic conditions exist on the ground by just insisting that they’re true, despite copious and obvious evidence to the contrary.

From a unitedstatesian:

Genuinely, thank you, European politicians and public figures, for pointing out that reasonably socialized public services are considered de rigueur by the vast majority of the rest of the developed world.

Also: “To make money”

Or just come up to it outside of it’s FOV and wrap that fucker up

Clearly the agent has post-traumatic sandwich disorder, and it’s affecting his memory of the incident

  • leave your phone at home
  • instead of destroying it, wrap it in duct tape or something like that, because afaik obstructing a camera owned by a private company which happens to be placed on public property is not illegal
 

Super awesome that the heaviest hitters in the industry are folding like this. It’s almost as if the entire legal profession is worth jack shit. Jesus tapdancing christ.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.
