Just seen the ‘Russia boutta find out why we don’t have healthcare’ memes already. Yes, this is exactly why. No, it’s not a funny meme. But in a week or two libs will start complaining again about roads, human rights, healthcare, poverty etc. Life for them is just getting internet point.
Don’t get me wrong I’m terrified of a US invasion anywhere, but they don’t have the best track records to say the least. The Russian army is not some sort of rebel group lol.
Believe it or not, the US military used to be much more competent in the past, since they were trained to fight an actual competent military force, the Warsaw Pact. However since the end of the Cold War, they have become absolutely worthless (compared with their budget, they are still a dangerous force mind you). Since the 90s US wars werent about effectively defeating communism, but about making money for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc. In that case, the more ineffective they were, the better, since it meant more spending, thus more profits. They got used to needing 800 billion dollars a year just to massacre a bunch of goat farmers in Afghanistan, so now its nowhere near enough to defeat a modern competent military force like Russia.
When I was in the service, it was pretty much an open secret that if we went to war with China or Russia we would lose badly until we overwhelm them with sheer numbers or at least break even. That was Commanders saying shit like that, meanwhile all the grunts truly believed that we were invincible.
At the same time, in a thread about Shell’s profit, they understand this is by default and companies wont stop to fuck us over. Sometimes they’re so close but don’t dare to touch the hot topic for some reason.
Edit: I take solace in the fact that Reddit is not an accurate display of society and that more and more people in this world see what can be done different. ~this is copium yes~
It’s pretty disturbing to me that people have found a way to turn a serious issue with our spending into a funny maymay. I guess the idea that someone is going to get blown up is a “welcome” distraction to your real problems.

The entire war has been turned into shitty memes. “Ghost of Kiev”? “Saint Javelin”? That’s something I’ve been saying for months. The very real suffering of people on the ground is nothing but “le funney maymays” for libs and libs adjacent people.

The US military is extremely skilled and competent in mass murdering innocent civilians. Actually achieving military objectives, not as much.

When I close my eyes and imagine “the left” I imagine my Bernie bro cousin who joined the military.
