Been losing power all day due to the weather.
Also we haven’t won a war since the russians did it for us.
We technically won Grenada, which proves the rule because if you have to invade fucking Grenada just to get a win you suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Iraq? Libya? The wars involving Pissrael?
The USA won the war in Iraq but the mistake was winning it for Iran
It’s called glass cannon sweaty
Crine
I had the same thought like 20 years ago when we invaded Iraq. Where’s the victory gardens? Where’s the ration cards? Where is the nation at war?
And then I’m in line at the grocery store and some loudmouth dipshit is complaining about the cost of gas while our military is blowing up one of the places that manufactures gallons of gas.
feeling a lot of contempt for the numerous fools I encounter who “watch” the “news” or read garbage weekly rags and then repeat shit just so they can feel like they sound smart while being squarely in the middle of the mainstream. no courage, no thinking, just rote phrases you’ve heard fifty times before. brain as smooth and impenetrable as a bowling ball with no finger holes

To. Be. Fair. In burgerland we spend way more on weapons than on weather prep.
If we could solve snow by shooting it this wouldn’t be an issue. So maybe blame mother nature, yeah?
We actually do that. Back when there was snow in the olden days ski patrols and public safety orgs would use old artillery cannons with special charges to cause controlled avalanches in high risk areas.
Be USA
Build worlds best tanks
Can’t transport those tanks over bridges
Considering the Abrams in Ukraine, “best tanks” deserves an asterisk.
The Abrams might have been the best tank, for defending Western Europe in the '80s against a Soviet incursion into the Fulda Gap. But warfare has changed in the last 40 years.
mayos don’t know what mountains are
My neighbor is literally snow blowing his yard grass, my brother in Christ, why?
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SEE AND APPRECIATE MY MONOCULTURE YARD SO THEY KNOW WHAT KIND OF MAN I AM
My neighbor spent the dry as fuck summer mowing his lawn religiously. Bro it’s dead. It’s brown and dry and hasn’t grown since early June. Nope gas up the mower and get to work mowing the dirt
There’s a guy near where I live who literally just had a dirt yard. No dead grass, or just starting to grow; just dusty dirt. Which they mowed consistently, causing the air in the whole neighborhood to be just dust. It was nice when it rained because the dust would settle and they wouldn’t mow it until it was dusty again.
I guess people just have “mow” as a command in the brain somehow. Is it like the only way they can imagine being outside??
where’s Anton Chigurh with a captive bolt gun when you need him
are you trying to say there’s snow on the ground and he’s blowing it? or he mowed the lawn, didn’t collect the clippings, and is blowing the clippings? Or is there nothing on the ground whatsoever and he’s just running the snowblower? Does “snow blowing grass” refer to a sex move?
all of these are plausible situations
He’s blowing the snow off his yard, that he doesn’t use for anything.
that’s not rock-bottom for uselessness, but still pretty useless!
That is utterly deranged lmao
They want to take on China and Russia when they have had their asses handed to them by rice farmers and goat herders. Like every other bully, the USA will never fight anyone who can actually defend themselves.
That is about as realistic as them paying down their trillions $$ in debt.
We had a bridge in my town get shut down last year to both vehicle AND pedestrian traffic because it’s so structurally unsound. Aaaand it’s been sitting there closed ever since. Double whammy: it had some of the best pedestrian and bike infrastructure in town.
I often repeat exactly this sentiment but history should be a lesson. The US was also coming from the '29 crash and all the economic crisis of that era before WW2.
Everyone and their mother already discussed WW2 parallels and history repeating itself at least a few times in their life I’m sure.
I don’t even believe the US can rally the same level of government control now as it did back then, the political control that was key to controlling the economy and therefore having a competent industrial/investment focus towards the war effort seems unthinkable now.
At the same time, China already gaslit themselves into thinking they’re on a major economic crisis. A scenario where China just does Pelosi 2.0 and concedes Taiwan for the next few decades is definitely possible.
Remember a war requires both sides willingness to fight. The US can certainly get victories by forcing China into increasingly desperate slippery slopes(“red lines”) they’re not actually willing to enforce.
