Let me be clear then: the US military is a force for evil and anything that weakens it is positive for the rest of the world.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Privatize everything and lay off all government employees. Let the Department of War be run by the lowest bidder.
Well there is no reasonable expectation that voting for Harris improves anything given her explicit statement she’s going to be just Biden in a wig.
That’s not true!
She promised to be different by appointing Republicans🤣
Wrong. Give an ape a gun. They’re just as likely to kill themselves as anyone else.
It’s not flawed, it’s been working exactly as it was intended our entire lives. Unless you were alive for WW2, the purpose of the military has been to spread misery and death. I’d call it one of the most evil institutions in the face of the Earth.
I’m not optimistic. Trump won’t be allowed to destroy the military. He will weaken it, though, and that can only be a good thing.
Hence, saving the world from the Pentagon.
Those checks and balances didn’t stop them from butchering a million Iraqis.
An orange toddler breaks his toys. Fuck em
The military is already struggling to recruit and moves like this will only delegitimize our military even more. I’m sure they’ll always be able to find goons to wield guns, but it will cease to be a respectable career path for all but the most right-wing citizenry.
It’s not all bad.
You say that like I should want the US military to be effective.
I have a different hope, that Trump will ruin their actual offensive capacity and save the world from the Pentagon. The US can not be trusted with its own military.
We are so back. 😂
There’s an unspoken implication that the 30% who are men all deserved to die.
It’s likely that a similar percentage of men are totally unaffiliated with Hamas.
I gotta say, Brazil vetoing Venezuela’s admission to the BRICS is really disappointing. Glad to see the other BRICS members aren’t taking that as a signal to avoid making their own deals.
Both Hamas and Hezbollah have popular support from their constituencies and are functionally their own governments. It doesn’t matter if they’re good guys or not, they’re the ones who have the mandate of the people. Israel’s murder spree only increases support for the Axis of Resistance.
The one bright side of Trump’s victory is this stupid bullshit will end.
America won’t like that.
Israel is destroying the UN, what are you talking about? They aren’t just evil,. they’re blatantly violating all international laws and attacking UN peace keepers and declaring UN agencies to be terrorist organizations.
If Israel does not face consequences for what it is doing then the UN will go the way of the League of Nations.
To quote Mao:
When we discuss the terms ‘front’ and ‘rear’ it must be remembered, that while guerrillas do have bases, their primary field of activity is in the enemy’s rear areas. They themselves have no rear.
The guerilla must move among people as a fish swims in the sea. While you say we only face poor outcomes, I see this as a strategic opportunity. I’m in the enemy’s rear, in the heart of its operations. Right where I need to be.
Quick! Before we’re out of power! Start WW3!!
