    It is so fucking weird watching Biden keep trying to start WWIII with anyone who will take him up on it while the wunderplanes can’t fly, they don’t have the capacity to build the wunderboats, the wundermissiles don’t hit anything, and the wundertanks are getting washed in Ukraine by hardware store drones. While they can’t even produce enough shells to keep up a semblance of a fight in a one-front proxy war and they can’t even bully the poorest country in the Middle East.

          I saw it so much when the Chinese weather balloon wandered over the US

          So many people I thought to be smarter than they proved themselves to be were going on about how the US had secret signals interception abilities and the only reason they didn’t intercept the “spy balloon” earlier is because they were spying on the information going back to China using this secret high tech stuff

          Pure undiluted copium

            And then it turned out that they’d tracked it the entire time because it’s just a weather baloon, and no one gave a shit until it turned in to a big stupid political thing.

      Liberals are dreamers who believe in the power of positive thinking. They live in a fantasy land where they can wish for things to happen without any regard for practicality or reality. Their idealist views lead them to ignore pesky details such as production capabilities and supply chains.

        That definitely wasn’t the original plan for Ukraine. The backfiring of Russian sanctions have made de-dollarization more plausible than ever, and NATO believed their fighting doctrines were going to work.

        I agree that the US is a rentier empire but I’m not sure they quite know that yet.
