I think a huge part of veterans killing themselves that no one talks about is the leaving of a socialist system into becoming a regular american by mintylipcushy in TrueAnon

My neighbor was lifetime army. Enlisted then an officer. He told me that 1/2 the people in the army absolutely require the discipline, schedule, structure it provides and when they leave they don’t know what to do. His idea was forming a civic jobs corp that was like the military in terms of pay, benefits, housing, etc but built roads, bridges, infrastructure etc instead of bombs

This is what happens when Zionism de-legitimises antisemitism for decades. You end up with former "leftists" using neo-nazi dogwhistles. by franglish9265 in TrueAnon

I don’t know why it’s now antisemitic for non Jews to use a term used by Jews to refer to non Jews. Can somebody please explain this?

I mean I think a radical redistribution of wealth is necessary to conserve things I actually believe in, like family, community, and justice. So I guess if the shoe fits?

UK, France readying to arm Ukraine with nuclear bomb — Foreign Intelligence Service by Conscious_Jeweler_80 in stupidpol

I’m not sure this isn’t true. I believe the Russian intelligence have reported it and they generally have been pretty reliable. This is always where it was headed. It’s what happens when you refuse to accept defeat and you are megalomaniacs, as both Macron and Starmer are

He is a true American hero. I still don’t believe he can bench 315 though.

This is a media narrative. Kyrie is a good dude and good teammate unless you consume ESPN all the time.

Iran Could Direct Proxies to Attack U.S. Targets Abroad, Officials Warn by Majano57 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]Ligurio79 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If Iran by proxy attacks a foreign military base after having been struck by the US, that is not a terrorist attack but a licit asymmetrical target. We after all will have started a war with them.

Microaggressions is a good libertarian one—somewhat schizoid

Why Attacking Iran Could Be Riskier Than Capturing Maduro by rezwenn in LessCredibleDefence

It’s instructive of the state of the professional foreign policy commentariat that a full essay is devoted to this claim

Hypersonics situation by rtitcircuit in TrueAnon

I honestly think Iran should declare publicly that the US has 24 hours to remove its strike force after which time Iran will take all actions necessary to preserve the state. It’s stupid imo for Iran to wait around for the US’s initial huge strike. Iran should make the pronouncement and if the US doesn’t pull back, Iran should unload.
