Truly reaching Russian levels of credibility

Usually I mock posts that see America doing the things America has always done and going "what are we a bunch of <slavs/chinese/third world nation>", but usually America is good at lying.

Thanks, OP! Wait, why has your name changed?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Probably used AI or something to scrape the footage.

The average CoD lobby has more intelligence than the current American administration.

...you're saying this is funny? What?

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Call of Duty. One of Epstein's favorites. He even helped bobby kotick name CoD Points so they could use the abbreviation CP

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Source on that? Not that I don't believe you but that is something I'd like to see

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 6 points 12 hours ago

Bobby Kotick was very good friends with Epstein. Just search for both of their names together. Epstein also pushed microtransactions.

I don’t remember anything about the cp stuff but there is a very interesting Behind the Bastards podcast about epstein and many of his evils beyond child sex trafficking. Talks about Kotick a lot https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/

It's a lot faster to put in video game footage than it is to get some B-roll from the military and get it declassified.

Not that this administration cares about rules tbh.

The president can declassify stuff with his mind

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You've got a good point. Such an amazing ability that the President has.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 5 points 13 hours ago

No one has abilities like this. You’ve never seen. They’re saying, many of them, and it’s been very badly reported.

I'm surprised it's not all AI video.

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

"AI" has to be trained on something. They don't want it to look too similar to the Iraq invasion, etc...

Uh, your video is just an image. I'll undownvote once you fix your link.

"Hey, you know that simulation where you die horrifically over and over and over? That's just what this war is like, now with incredible pain, and fewer Doritos. High five."

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Very in character for people who have always lived in la-la-land.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

Just in case theres any kids watching that might think war may not be as glamorous as the video games make it seem. Its EXACTLY like a video game! Sign up today!

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Leveraging one of their biggest recruitment tools as additional propaganda? Say it isn't so. Well luckily, it's not like CoD is actually on the government payroll, so of course a cease and desist will be following shortly... right?

I wish I could react with an emoji to this post xd

It is real but probably not what people think. They're not exactly hiding the fact that they're using footage from a game.

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 hours ago

Its not about them trying to pass video game footage as real. Them leaning into the video game esthetic is the problem. Its glorifying war, death, and destruction. Its also intentionally appealing to military aged boys/men. Its a sleezy recruitment video
