Terrifying and irrational state enemies are evil-y mustering their forces… Anyway, that’s why the highest levels of our government secretly formed a plan to literally nuke their countries.
Perfect framing, thank you
Mallory Stewart, the assistant secretary for arms control, deterrence and stability at the State Department, said in an interview that the Chinese government is “actively preventing us from having conversations about the risks.” Instead, she said, Beijing “seems to be taking a page out of Russia’s playbook that, until we address tensions and challenges in our bilateral relationship, they will choose not to continue our arms control, risk reduction, and nonproliferation conversations.”
Gee, no clue why they wouldn’t play ball.
deeply unserious
they won’t continue arms control, risk reduction, and nonproliferation conversations because they don’t want to just provide the US with all the information it needs to figure out how to wipe them out in a first strike
Not to mention the US cotes against anything that limits its arms. They tried to pass a resolution to “ban weapons in space” which Russia and China voted against because an older resolution already banned that while the US’ proposals added a bunch of bullshit that only benefits the US
Jokes aside (of which I’m sure this thread is aplenty), realistically if we’re expecting to be at war with China, Russia and North Korea, you know whichever lunatic president is running the murderhouse is definitely going to fire first; if we’re actually expecting wholeheartedly that there’ll be a nuclear confrontation, the government will absolutely fire first because in a nuclear war you always want to be the first one to fire, and we’ll be doing it with countries that genuinely don’t even want any confrontation, let alone a nuclear one. To the government it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when (to fire first).
Living on the same planet as America must be like trying to have a nice meal in the vicinity of someone experiencing hyper roid rage.
It’s genuinely freaky to see liberals fully convinced that everyone but the US is belligerent and so diplomacy is pointless. The irony is lost on them.
I suspect this mentality stems from liberal democracy being portrayed as the sole legitimate form of governance. It amounts to modern-day marketing for colonialism, masquerading western hegemony as benevolent civilizing missions. In this schema, the west can’t be a belligerent by default because countries resisting western dominance are seen as being regressive and fighting progress towards the natural state of things. Western liberals are basically the borg.
Another way of looking at it is Israel and other imperial outposts being the rabid dogs trained by America set loose on the world.
you know whichever lunatic president is running the murderhouse is definitely going to fire first
It will happen after the first American loss
Any war will begin with a propaganda campaign that will make the ravenous countrywide bloodthirst of 2001 look positively quaint. You’d see “reasonable liberal” reporters from the NYT and MSNBC on the verge of using slurs, while Fox is straight up calling for the annihilation of all [slurs]
The very second the first US carrier is sunk by a hypersonic missile is the second the US goes into full Khornate blood rage and the president, whoever they are, begins firing every last nuclear weapon at whoever sank the carrier
the harm reduction leaving my body
Flashback to yesterday when some lib ran wild saying just because Palantir said this same thing that it didn’t mean anything
There was a post yesterday about statement from Palantir that said the same thing - that the US would face a three front war. Some lemmitor lib got real reddity about how it doesn’t mean anything if Palantir says that because they’re a private company and not the US government.
The wall between the government and the corporations that work for it is so thin it could be adequately described as vapor.

In the quest to turn the treat machine back on, our big smart boi billionaires consider playing with MAD.
