    You know they are at historic lows of incompetence when they just keep recycling the same ghouls into different positions. I’m honestly shocked we still haven’t nuked the planet into ash by now.

      According to the West, there are no legitimate targets on our side. Any and all attacks on Western military targets are considered terrorism.

      It is is beyond ridiculous. People allegedly attacking a US Airbase in the UK (maybe just stealing diesel) are called terrorists for attacking a military target. It is absolutely bonkers.

        Yeah I don’t think that bullshit is flying as well as it used to though. It’s too obvious who is instigating, and more people have been paying closer attention and learning about the history of the Middle East and the foreign policy of western governments. I’m encountering it more and more from people whom I would not expect it, and I get around.

    SpaceXai’s biggest client! Future of warfare needs golden dome $1T+ contract to spaceX, obviously. Another $2T for Grok built skynet is recommended.

      Well, is not like he’s got anything else to do. Being the ceo of 5 (?) companies obviously doesn’t take much of his time.

    Really expensive self driving tanks that can also be submarines but parts fall off when they hit a bump.

      He walks into the Pentagon on day 1 carrying a sink and then spends the first month figuring out how to get the tanks to make fart noises when they fire missiles

    I like how Musk magically joins the government every time there is an election that Trump needs to cheat on. Then leaves like 4-6 months after the election is over. Probably just trying to make sure he doesn’t get arrested by Democrats for all the illegal shit he is doing

    They need to purge the military before they overturn the midterms just to address the possibility of US forces suddenly deciding not to follow illegal orders enough to detain Trump when given them. The US isn’t a shitshow anymore, it’s in a free fall that will drag a lot of the world with it.

      Packing the group with loyalists may quiet dissent, but as we’ve seen, loyalty does not relate to competency. So they’re more free to do whatever they want, but at least they’re real bad at doing it.

      This. The Oregon National Guard commander response back when people were putting vids of the Floyd riots in front of Trump and telling him that was now. The reality of Portland the last year was rather lol. If anything, a master class in how to protest peacefully

      I can’t imaging the man in charge of the Oregon National Guard won accolades from MAGA. In fact, I’d be surprised if he was still there.

      My point is, this has already been stress tested, so I believe you’re spot on. Prep to make what’s left loyal to the regime, not We The People and The Constitution.

      Meanwhile, the rest of the world watches, sees what our military is like now and knows we are vulnerable. Not that Musk and company running this shitshow care about that piece, they have private security and bunkers.
