Republicans offer nothing but culture war shit. They absolutely know Democrats are to the right of
. But they are playing the anti China part of the 3rd Red Scare while Dems play the anti Russia part and both are partaking in the [2nd Lavender]( scare (active / passive).
They are exploiting American ignorance and stroking historical previous Red Scare / Cold War indoctrination for the over 50s crowd.
The Red Scares were never about Crapitalism vs Cummunism. It was about different nations clashing over the world's resources, but that would never fly in the public mind spoken out loud. That was all a front, but it gave cover for the disgusting domestic and foriegn policies such as The Jakarta Method, Vietnam War, Hollywood Blacklisting, Hayes Code, demonizing queer people in public life, and McCarthyism.
So they paint the opposition as ooga booga scary Mao CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY COMMIE COMMIE COMMIE! WHERE'S MY AUKUS MONEY JOE?!
They know the actual left knows they're full of shit and that's the real
part of these political hacks - they study and know very much every aspect of the actual target of theri demonization of things, but they hold the American public with such calous contempt they will willingly lie to manufacture consent for their major bribers. They know exactly who they are harming, why they are harming, and they just do not care because minorities aren't majorities and caculated collateral damage. Plus if you can toss around commie or Marxist or Maoist to anything you don't like, it further brainwashes the ignorant masses to automatically put their brains down and choose you aginst the hedons as god's chosen warrior!
They know the public is largely ignorsnt about matters that don't concern them and they exploit it to the hilt.
Frantic rescue operation under way as latest Israeli strikes kill several people, including women and children, in northern Gaza’s al-Shati refugee camp as well as southern Khan Younis; at least 436 Palestinians reported killed in the last 24 hours.
Two elderly women released by Hamas on Monday have been reunited with their families and are resting in hospital, Israeli media reports. There are concerns for captives still held by Hamas as Israel says its planned ground offensive “will come soon”. More than 10,000 Palestinians are being held as prisoners by Israel, Palestinian officials say.
The Pentagon has sent military advisers, including a general versed in urban warfare, to Israel to aid in its planning for the war in Gaza, a US official tells the Associated Press news agency.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says Palestinian groups in Gaza are acting without any direction from Tehran after the US accuses Iran of ‘facilitating’ attacks.
At least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, while more than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel since October 7.
The projection coming out of the US is ridiculous.
I think
is going to learn what hyperinflation is first hand.
Stock news - actual stock news has a lot of "volatility" brace yourself type noise. Too much of the economy is in too few companies. There is little cushion left. Like people are leaving stocks to store their money in more safe investments, which makes this Wall Street Silver twitter post pretty ironic. But that whole "wal street" this or that is probably run from some hedge fund baby so they have a vested interest in producing imperal propaganda.
Clark has argued for years that the Navy needs to get away from trying to shoot down missiles with missiles because a saturation attack from Russia, China, Iran, North Korea or anyone else who might have cause to attack a U.S. Navy ship could force a cruiser or destroyer to expend all its missiles and still not have defeated the threat.___
A gravity bomb straight down on it's flight deck is all it takes to make the carrier irrelevant. Fuck up it's flight deck, the screws, rudder, ect. Planes need speed to take off. The F35 is a damned laughing stock so good luck with those anyways.
I remember not being able to visit Australia when I was in because the jellyfish density was clogging the condensers of ships, shutting down the coolant system of the reactors.
I'd worry a bit about the CWIS cannons, but those have limited range and use. Great for pulverizing seagulls from a mile out though.
