US immigration adding on "Do you currently have or have you ever had an account on the War Thunder forums?" to the questionnaire.

Sorry son, you aren't allowed to be drafted for thr next ethnic cleansing. We found a War Thunder account from your house. Security risk. Hope you understand.

sitting in the same concrete room. Two exasperated agents stand in front of me. A desktop monitor and a keyboard is now on the desk

"Okay sir, let's go thru this again. We are going to hand you some classified documents and what are you going to do?"

yes-honey-left Not leak them on the warthunder forums.

"And if someone on the internet calls your favorite tank gay?"

I immediately grab the classified documents and start typing away. Nothing happens on the monitor

"Sigh RESET THE SIMULATION"

LMAO

Honestly, if the US cared or wasnt abusing it themselves they'd shut down War Thunder in the same stroke they shut down TikTok.

CAN'TSTOPPOSTING

Posting confidently incorrect takes on the War Thunder forums might be the most effective praxis you can do from behind a computer screen.

Sukhoi's fault that it looks SO COOL and makes me want to WIN AN ARGUMENT ONLINE.

[-] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 5 months ago

Yes, ha ha ha…YES

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

The leaks in question since I can't find anything other than hearsay and what seems like a running gag.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

So many documents are classified that I accidentally leak stuff sometimes just because my document happens to coincide with classified info monkey-on-a-typewriter style.

Sounds vaguely Gallifreyan

Most successful military espionage operation ever.

Julian Assange been real quiet since the War Thunder forums were established

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

smh if wikileaks had just had a gamer on staff none of this would have happened

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

probably yes

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

So wait, this time it's Russian classified info?

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago
[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

I thought it was American info that leaked the other time.

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

which other time, it was Chinese, British, American, Russian, all
