The master of calling out sick by coming up with vague yet already TMI excuses no one wants to hear more about.
War with China would inevitably cause trade disruptions that fuck the global economy. Unless the failchild-fash have full control it won’t happen because the capitalists that understand how their bread is buttered would never accept the economic damage outside of a looming existential threat to the status quo and China is more than happy to boil the frog it seems (for now at least).
If the US manages to encircle China, it becomes more likely. The general incompetence of states that need to fall in order to encircle China is the major risk, but they haven’t fallen yet.
CW needed, please edit.
His legal team would be a very plausible explanation as well. It checks a lot of boxes in appealing as broadly and mildly as possible.
Just need to issue some flashlights next. I can’t wait to see how dogshit the American attempt at a lasrifle is going to be.
They also tried this before and it fucking sucked.

But it was expensive; each round cost $1,000 and was expected to drop to $35 or so in full production. And the system frequently failed. I photographed a sergeant major firing it in a "familiarization shoot” and something like eight rounds failed in a row. A military police soldier and I slowly counted the shots as I took photos, marking each time that another two weeks of our pay had gone downrange and failed to explode.
It was worse on patrols, where troops couldn't count on the weapon in tough fights. It was risky to break cover to fire the weapon when it might take five or even 10 shots to get the burst. They obviously tried, but the troops in contact reports would come across the brigade chat system, saying that they'd expended 10 or 20 rounds for zero enemy casualties.
Apparently the airburst is the key point. They want an easy way to precisely get a grenade behind cover at long range.
Too bad they forgot that grenades have to actually explode to be useful lol.
Good point.
They’re making a shitty bolter for absolutely no reason.
