But then we objectively, officially, lose the war. The presumption of American military superiority would be destroyed, which would spell the end of the American empire, and they cannot let that happen. Of course the perception of our superiority is already screwed because Iran made god bleed, but that only makes Trump and friends more desperate to win.

I agree they should pull out, but I don’t think they see that as an option anymore. Hubris will be our downfall.

I think this is different given the context of this war. It’s not an insurgency or an unfamiliar jungle it’s just a super power losing against a “lesser” military. In the process also losing influence over 20% of the world’s oil supply, which is the oil that gives the American petrodollar its value. This stupid ass and unnecessary war could change the power structure of the entire world.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE JUST TWO FRIENDS NAKED HUGGING IN BED AS PLATONIC FRIENDS OFTEN DO

It really sucks being a sane American right now. Like yeah you should boycott the US because money is the only language they speak, but it’s people like me who are going to suffer for it. Trump and his buddies are going to be fine. Feel like I’m rooting for my own downfall.

This is to be expected with low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. The orbit will decay fairly quickly and with so many satellites needed for a LEO constellation this is going to be business as usual. I’m curious if this number is any more than what they expected, but it’s not big news.

I didn’t need this today, Nicole.

Bro is really high out of his mind in the Oval Office and still not the craziest person in the room

Yeah these fuckin nerds are using logic and thought to understand the world.

This is, without a doubt, the best idea Steve Bannon has ever had.

Maybe unpopular opinion but the winner is objectively better art than second place. Left makes me feel whimsy and mild joy, and right just makes me think “frog.”

LEO satellites decay very quickly every one of them will burn up in the atmosphere within 10 years. They need to be replaced constantly. As soon as spacex goes out of business these will all fall out of the sky.

My favorite part of this is how he subconsciously wiped the fingerprints off his gun when he was done

Can’t argue with that

It’s a good thing Lincoln didn’t live today. With talk like that he would have been labeled a communist or enemy of the elite, and there probably would have been some conspiracy plot to kill him… oh wait.

Reminds me of Better Off Ted, don’t know why that show was ever cancelled.
