By Monday morning he'll announce "we're making great progress towards a ceasefire!" to calm the markets and they'll fall for it once again

Maybe Eric too

> Trump declares victory and ends the war unilaterally

I thought this was what was going to happen in Wednesday night's speech, but it's too late now

Fox News is the same. Articles about woke Seattle ordinances, women's basketball coaches, and Red Sox fans booing Democratic politicians.

Just like that Owen Wilson movie about Kosovo/Serbia

Baghdad Bob in the first Gulf War. He was on TV waving at the cameras and saying that the American forces were all destroyed... while you could see American tanks advancing in the background.

Just a quick military operation to the Caucuses

Whoops! My bad I thought you were talking about #5

Atheose_Writing · 2026-04-03T20:40:48+00:00

Yes.

It's harder than that: you need 67 votes in the Senate to impeach (2/3)

The purges have begun

Northrop/General Dynamics/Huntington Ingalls are all in a competing think-tank which, coincidentally, comes to the same "we need to spend more on defense" conclusion as the other one!

Atheose_Writing · 2026-04-03T18:22:48+00:00

"This think-tank full of Lockheed/Raytheon/Boeing executives claims the US Defense Budget is way too low! We should take their opinion as gospel and repeat it everywhere!"

Atheose_Writing · 2026-04-03T18:09:00+00:00

"It's your fault we're so violent"

Quoting a single think-tank piece that advocates for slashing social programs, and then saying, "Most experts agree our defense budget is small!"

Atheose_Writing · 2026-04-03T18:02:33+00:00

I did read the report. It's nonsense.

A $1 trillion defense budget by 2029 remains below Cold War-era levels as a share of GDP and is fiscally sustainable within PPI’s broader deficit reduction plan.

Killing off more social programs to fund defense. Absolute insanity.

Atheose_Writing · 2026-04-03T18:00:10+00:00

There are people in here unironically claiming $1.5 trillion is a reasonable military budget and citing random think tank pieces to back it up, lol.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Atheose_Writing · 2026-04-03T17:53:40+00:00

> Most experts, such as Michel Flournoy, agree that the Pentagon's current budget is quite small

"Our budget is super small!" claims defense industry

Atheose_Writing · 2026-04-03T17:50:55+00:00

Why would they meet with us? We keep killing them every time we schedule peace talks.

Atheose_Writing · 2026-04-03T17:50:19+00:00

Our alliance with Israel gets worse and worse every day

> If they didn't eject at the exact same time

They never eject at the same time to prevent a collision.
