They let him define "working" and he still dropped the ball, amazing.

Seems like bad practice from a legal pov to admit that your military action has no clear feasible goal, but I guess it's moot if US Presidents never have to answer for their war crimes

The bombings will continue until our stocks improve

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

Bombing just for the love of the game.

Like wtf are you even meant to say to this. he-admit-it

[–] [email protected] 45 points 9 months ago

Of course it is working! The arms manufacturers are getting richer while the working class bleeds out. Just like war always works.

"Look I don't know how more obviously I can demonstrate that this was only ever about blood sacrifices to Moloch. We honestly thought the press was going to stop going along with it well before we reached this point, but nope, you are terrifyingly bent on seeing how far this little Milgram experiment can go, arentcha?"

I was complaining about Butcher Biden yesterday to a friend who lives outside the U.S. but seemingly inhales every update on Trump's court cases, even she agreed that Trump was less bloodthirsty towards the international community than Biden.

Democrats are less blood and soil (and bloodlust) than Republicans but they are also more competent stewards of empire so if both sides agree on a course of action (like protecting global capitalist hegemony) the dems will be more ruthlessly efficient. They'll spackle the gaping holes in their morality with pablum and the media will eat it up.

I used to believe this but how can you think this after 4 years of bumbling senile Brandon losing Afghanistan, losing Ukraine, creating the crisis that will destroy Israel, etc? The Lloyd Austin scandal where he just went MIA for weeks. It’s blatant incompetence and idiocy going on at the White House, they are flying by the seat of their pants and making gigantic blunders because they are dyed in the wool Liberals who actually huff their own farts and idealistically believe in all their own bullshit.

I think you are right that Obama’s admin was more competent and ruthless, but GWB’s admin was as well.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

I legitimately think neither side actually wants to have to govern, they want to be the opposition party.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

You're right, Brandon is really good at screwing shit up by being himself.

de-escalatory bombings, everyone

See, if we kill the most combatants in a conflict, we'd win the war by default... remember Korea and Vietnam, Jack? Even the Republicans and MAGAmen are in this as well.... Call of Duty players to the polls!
