Its my first day here. I’m having a good time. Thanks for asking.

Thanks. Feels good to be here. I know some people have mixed experiences but it really is neat seeing the fediverse come to life.

Being able to browse other federated sites from one app is cool as fuck too.

I don’t even understand how the hell burger King is alive to this day. There’s 2 burger kings in my city, both on the same road and I’ve never seen anyone in line at either of them.

Like are we even sure burger King isint some psy op or something? Does anyone even remember the last time they were in one?

Disappointed but can confirm. There was never a single food fight during my entire K - 12 education. It was massively disappointing.

I was led to belive food fights would be a bi weekly occurrence by our media overlords. They lied.

Fucking hell Canada, so many old Nazi pricks here you’d think this shit was a Swiss bank.

No drones won’t be the frontline. You cannot use drones to physically hold an area, and they can be rendered useless in inclement weather or by signal jammers.

Not to mention, if you need to actually clear houses out like the U.S. did in Fallujah, you would needs tens of thousands of men. No amount of drones would suffice to replace them for this task.

And yes. People have been saying the tank is obsolete in almost every conflict it has fought in. Including the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The drone has not made anything obsolete, but it has changed how effectively you can use soldiers and equipment.

The moment America cannot act as the unilateral head of NATO is the moment it collapses.

France, Germany, The U.K. and Turkey would then become the defacto " great" powers of Europe and the whole balance of power in the E.U. would be thrown off.

Not likely to happen for the time being, but if Trump somehow manages to get elected again the Europeans would be wise to consider their alternative options.

He’s also called for more blanket surveillance of Russian passport holders in the West.

Becareful praising a strongman when he speaks against your enemies brashfully. Today he is your friend, tommorow you might find yourself amongst his list of enemies.

Trump just wanted everyone to spend more on the military. He wasn’t a threat to nato.

I’ve pondered when Putin goes away (he will at someone as we all do) will the next guy be worse or better.

The good go young. Putin will probably live to 100 like the bastard Kissinger if he’s not killed or removed from presidency.

Anyways I would not recommend the assumption that the American right will not try and pull out of NATO. Being anti NATO is now a cornerstone for far right populist’s in the West.

And of course, Russia cannot do all that much to NATO in its current from, but Putin was betting on the U.S. weakening NATO so he could take the baltics and force NATO into an institutional crisis. He just got unlucky that Trump fucked up so badly he couldn’t get a second term, even with trying to steal the election.
