I mean, a brutal dictator overseeing a terminally self-destructive empire full of football-brained Romeaboos with a brain tumor slowly eating away the bit of his mind capable of doing so competently is a pretty appropriate metaphor for Biden. No such similar metaphor for the empire-rejecting anarchist doctor daddy unfortunately.

Evergreen as usual:

It eats the other sea leviathans, so it's good to let it skitter around untroubled.

The cool ending to WW1 we never got

President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.

...and that is why we've handed billions upon billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the side actively committing a genocide, and why I'm putting out a statement condoning the political assassination of one of the people who we would theoretically be working with to create peace in the first place.

Death, and I cannot emphasize this enough, to America.

Gotta love how every Ayn Randian objectivist propaganda piece requires multiple varieties of literal magic to make any sense, and even then is so obviously just wankfuel for them that you feel the need to shower just from reading the plot summary.

Dentist: "Hey, you grind your teeth in your sleep. If you keep doing that, we'll have to root canal half your mouth."

Me: "Well, that sounds shit. What can I do about it?"

Dentist: "We can 3D-print you a mouthguard to wear at night. All it takes is scanning your top row of teeth and then producing it, which we can do in-house."

Me: "Sweet. How much?"

Dentist: "Well, you're insured, so that comes out to... $1,000."

Me, fucking around and about to find out: "But I have insurance? This is preventative and the alternative is literally tens of thousands of dollars in expensive, painful surgery. Surely they must cover it."

Dentist, laughing hard enough to have an aneurysm that their insurance won't cover: "lol. lmao, even"

is the only summary of what I'd do to insurance executives if ever given even a modicum of political power.

Shooting someone on Fifth Avenue would be downright quaint by the standards of American presidents. If he did that in exchange for cutting funding to Israel's genocides I'd consider it a strict upgrade.

Just tearing the copper wires out of the walls without a shred of irony at this point.

Bulldozing peoples' homes after forcing them into an open-air prison and then throwing a rave twenty feet from the fence is a war crime and should not be normalized, but here we are.

NATO tactics assume air superiority.

I keep harping on this point again and again because I really cannot get across how fucking stupid it is: YOU DO NOT ASSUME AIR SUPREMACY OVER ANOTHER NATION'S AIRSPACE, YOU FUCKING INCOMPETENT IDIOTS. YOU CANNOT PROJECT AIR POWER 500 MILES DEEP INTO A NATION WITH A COMPREHENSIVE AIR DEFENSE NETWORK, RADARS, AND SAM SITES. YOUR STEALTH TECHNOLOGY IS NOT INVINCIBLE, AND YOUR SHITTY OVERPRICED BULLSHIT F-35 WILL GET SHOT DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THIS IS WHY YOU REFUSE TO DEPLOY THEM ON ACTUAL FRONTLINES.

Then again, since NATO keeps doubling-down on this idea it just means they're more likely to get fucking annihilated anytime they fight a near-peer in conventional warfare, so critical support to the failson Wunderwaffen generals I guess?
