America has a 2 party state because they realized the power of the dialectic, and coopted it. The struggle is detached from reality because you can always blame the other party and wait for the pendulum to swing.

When there’s only one party, you can’t do that and you’re forced to acknowledge mistakes and actually fix things

Draft is whatever they want/need. Recruitment will be exhausted first, then they’ll expand it. Older people will get drafted based on profession (medical professionals will be drafted at basically any age).

It’s 18-26 for draft service. 17-45 is the emergency militia range. Which means anyone over 26 will be press ganged into national guard status after the current waves are deployed.

Still want the second I

Why do we not have any Boney M emotes…

Navy SEAL affirming their masculinity by inhaling all of Irans uranium to get a deeper voice

This war is going to be the thing that finally gets us to go green huh…

BRIICS?

Massive claims are made and then withdrawn minutes later, as we just saw with that comment by the US Energy Secretary that the US has helped a tanker transit the Strait

It’s wild to me just how blatant they are now. At least with Tonkin there was some plausible deniability that there might have been torpedo boats in the area.

Now they’re just outright spitting in our faces and telling us it’s raining without even the courtesy to try and distract us first.

Ah I see you’re using the new gpt-wide-ruled-8.5.11 model

Even in the South, the bastion of the evangelical movement, the joke about the “Baptist Entrance” is everywhere.

You aren’t supposed to drink if you’re a baptist, but literally everyone does and the joke is that you gotta come in the back door so the pastor doesn’t see you.

Nowadays it’s just a joke. Literally no one actually cares or abides by those old religious tenants and instead treat church like a social club that either takes care of their kids for cheap/free, or validates their internal racist.

They were primarily targeting AD with the missiles. Once that’s down, they don’t really need to use them and can instead save them for when they have a juicy target that they really want to hit fast. Like a convoy or a ship.

The thing about missile defense systems is that they have to work perfectly and succeed every single time, or else they, or whatever they are protecting will be destroyed. Meamwhile, the attackers only have to succeed once.

The US is a military based on wunderwaffen that cost more than 10 mechanized divisions.

It’s one of those things that can’t really be acknowledged. Because if it is, you’re basically saying “everyone on a ship will die”. They want to secure a ground route for invasion through Iran.

If they did, that’s basically game for US power projection. 6000km range at hypersonic speeds is death for any bases in the whole region. You couldn’t even get a carrier within striking distance.

Could be one of the reasons the US is trying to just fuck everything up because they need not just bases but full blown colonial vassals to survive anything like that.

Censoring your own name is a great bit btw

We’re at the point of crisis now and it needs to become mandatory again. Not like “you get a fine” mandatory, but like “every town has a vaccination clinic set up and you get a date to go in” mandatory.

Here’s a video of one. Can’t find many from Helene, but it hit us at 2am and no one was really thinking about filming at the time.

It’s bad in the mountains because the terrain is so vertical that a big gust coming into a valley can just suddenly become a microburst.
