Imagine having your life cut short and sent back to your family in a coffin to cause them immeasurable grief. All that for what? To satisfy the ego and greed of a tyrant who doesn’t give 2 shillings worth of value to your life or your family’s welfare? This is why nations glorify soldiers and wars. Sometimes, they’re necessary to defend peace and the rule of law of the land. But most often, it’s to gaslight young people to become worthless pawns in the ego trip of some pathologically narcissistic and sociopathic individuals. Be wary of the charlatans who sell nationalism and praise soldiers - they’re scheming cowards looking for ways to avoid the same. Despite what they teach you, nationalism and honor are just tools to control you.
From what we’ve seen of Russia’s army. I think the US is ready. The only question remains, which branch of the military will achieve tactical superiority first. One could argue the Air Force because air superiority is usually one of the first things the US does, but the Navy might achieve that faster. Not to mention they could achieve water superiority even sooner by sinking the entire Russian navy.
NATO Must be Prepared for us to be Fuck Heads and Reelect Donald Trump, Western Resident Warns Ahead of Major Election.
Resident quoted as saying, “We can’t even get our own house in order so you’re probably on your fucking own… also, who do I talk to about immigration?”
We have to realize it’s not a given that we are in peace. And that’s why we [NATO forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia," Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, the NATO military committee chief, said in Brussels ahead of the start of the alliance’s largest exercise since the end of the Cold War.
Keen students of logic maybe observe the flaw in the Admirals argument : A vulnerable peace is not strengthened by preparing for war.
Carry on, Sailor.
Edit :
Oh my , what have we here :
Q. How is RFE/RL funded and managed? A. RFE/RL is funded by the U.S. Congress through the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). USAGM is independent federal government agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media. In addition to RFE/RL, this includes Voice of America, Radio and TV Marti, Radio Free Asia, Alhurra, and Radio Sawa. In addition to providing oversight, USAGM works with RFE/RL to ensure the professional independence and integrity of its journalists.
Keen students of logic may observe the flaw in the poster’s argument: militaries don’t exist to keep the peace, they exist for the contingency in which it fails. Being prepared for war is literally their job.
The burden is on you to support your own assertions, there is no irony whatsoever in me pointing this out. Any keen student of logic would be familiar with this principle.
You will understand that you are not the arbiter of what is or is not “dubious” surely ? And that what you deem “dubious” is, to less contrary people, self evident ?
Dubious means “suspect”, and what makes it “suspect” is the lack of any supporting argument. As a keen student of logic, I’m sure you must be familiar with this word and concept.
Is anyone else too busy just trying to get through the day to care about shit like this? Politics, war, weather, gender arguments- who gives a fuck? I can’t afford a place to live.
In theory, this is why we have representatives… outside of occasional drastic and personal decisions, you should be able to trust your representatives with ensuring America does the day to day shit that makes sense… and if a representative goes batshit insane talking about Jewish Space Lasers or pouring immense resources into an unjust war, then we vote them out and move on.
Unfortunately, the internet and two party politics are really fucking up our ability to delegate to our representatives.
The “Russia has more freedom than the US” narrative is almost as confusing to me as the idea that Trump is someone you want to represent you. I know people think this but I just can’t understand how they also are able yo navigate the day to day requirements of life.
Like, how do they determine what food to eat? Nothing but Pizza Pops eaten thawed but cold? How do they survive?
Well I guess they've got to do something. Russian casualties are something like 4 times more than those of the American military in its entire decades-long participation in the war in Vietnam 50 years ago. With so many of the angry patriotic men dead or on their way to death, at some point the remaining population will be getting more and more anti-war just by attrition.
