The plan for the war makes less sense every year.
The US navy doesn’t have the capacity to close the Taiwan straight anymore, so the idea now is to blockade the Singapore straight, 3000 kilometers to the south, and cut off Chinese shipping from the world markets… that is to say, the nation that doesn’t produce anything but excel spreadsheets thinks it can win a war by blocking the source of all the cheap goods that keep their consumer economies running.
This feels like a serious fuck up for the western media. They handwave the existence of their billionaire owners by saying that they don’t determine what gets printed , even though that’s an obvious lie , but now they’re on record with the billionaire owner putting his foot down for Trump.
Society is 12 hours of internet outage away from chaos.
Robotaxi? Does Tesla do anything at this point except copy stuff that Chinese companies have been doing for years?
Well, I’m sure the Tesla version will cost 10x as much and have a triple digit bodycount in the first month.
It’s driven by the massive spike in the cost of living, especially the cost of food / housing / energy, which no party is interested in addressing, so yeah, it’s a fucking problem that isn’t going away.
They can’t get him off the ballot at this point, the election is 45 days away.
It’s a twitter brained NAFO guy. Funnily enough, the libs own this one.
Although it’s still kind of funny that political violence is just becoming a thing now.
Is everyone just gambling that Trump will be as incoherent as Biden? Cause with her promising nothing to voters, and the polls falling back towards Trump, it seems like the Democrats need to her to fucking slaughter Trump tonight, and I don’t think she has it in her.
On the other hand, she did once call Biden a racist segregationist to his face, right up on the Democratic primary stage. That was cool.
I think it could survive a delay. Spiderverse is the only piece of Sony superhero slop that people are interested in, and it managed to build up a massive audience on streaming during the delay between the first movie and the second one. The Post Malone / Spiderverse video from the first movie has more than two billion views on youtube.
The multiverse gimmick is getting so played out though.
The funny thing is that Russia has kept moving into the Donbas this entire time, blasting through lines that have been fortified since 2014, because the Ukrainian reserves that might have held on there are currently getting blasted to shit trying to hold the salient in Kursk.
Someone high up must have really believed all the propaganda about Russian casualties, because the whole thing makes no sense otherwise.
Did Kamala’s crowd sizes really put the fear in Trump or what? His only rally this week is in fucking Montana tomorrow, with none scheduled for the rest of the month. He’s just doing unhinged press conferences.
Imagine if the Democrats had brought this kind of competence and energy to 2016 by running LITERALLY ANY OTHER CANDIDATE!
first season was a wonderful surprise that genuinely elevated the source material, with Paddy Considine putting an amazing performance as King Viserys. Second season …eh, it made some weird choices, but it’s nowhere near as bad as Game of Thrones got.
I hate the 21st century I hate the 21st century
It is weird that so much of the Trump campaign was built around Biden and Hunter, like IRL years of effort, millions of dollars worth of merchandise, all the attack ads lined up for months in advance…
with literally no one noticing Kamala or even doing opposition research on her, and now the GOP is trying to switch gears overnight in an election where they now need to really compete for women voters while desperately not mentioning womens rights or the abortion bans, or all the women that died in agony from ectopic pregnancies and septic miscarriages.
well, whatever absolute ghoul is going to be parachuted in as her running mate, they can’t be worse than genocide joe
the lathe turns
Well, violence was already normalized in every other sphere of American life, I guess it was only a matter of time. Look at the Trump shooter, by American standards, the only weird thing about him is that he went after someone important instead of just shooting up his local school or walmart.
It’s not like anyone is actually voting for him. No one is Biden or bust. People are just voting against Trump, same as last time. Nothing is actually gained by keeping the 81 year dementia patient on the ballot.
why are they trying to sell branded merchandise? He’s the establishment candidate, he’s not leading a fucking movement.
Yeah, people did start to figure this out two years ago, once Russia pulled back and settled in for a long war. NATO governments spent billions more to procure shells and artillery pieces, and on incentives to get the arms industry to build more factory lines and supply lines.
But decades of neoliberalism have gutted the states ability to do anything itself, or to compel a corporation to do anything, even something as simple as build an artillery shell that was designed in the 1870s. The end result is that the incentive money was used to streamline and automate the existing, privately owned, factories, allowing them to fire workers and run more cheaply , but not to actually expand production. And with billions more dollars chasing the same supply of shells, the cost of an artillery shell has now skyrocketed to ~$9,000 a shell.
