I eat bugs

  • To be fair, the US forces put into Bay of Pigs was tiny and far from full scale commitment. That said, attacking Cuba now in the age of drone warfare could open a massive can of worms for the US if Cuba becomes a Yemen and plucks at US commercial ships, oil rigs and coastal assets in the gulf.

  • Yes, let's start wars with multiple countries while we are failing to even pay our own troops, truly a big brain move.

  • I mean yeah there is no way to distinguish a nuclear armed Tomahawk from conventional one so they have to treat any strike as a nuclear attack. On top of that the launching and guidance of Tomahawks is 100% done by people in Washington as opposed to the Ukrainian Army.

  • Terrorist = whoever opposes us at the current moment

  • A guy I was speaking to who does roofing work was telling me how the tariffs were doing damage to him in real time. The tariffs massively increased the price of metal roofing he needed for jobs that were already locked into contracts that hadn't accounted for the sudden tariffs and it basically destroyed his business.

  • Yeah take your Kar98k and go participate on the frontline, don't give the SS any excuse to doubt you. Defeat Hitler by showing him you are the true patriotic German.

  • Yes, I love my self a good frozen delicacy.

  • Socialism doesn't work, yet we have to constantly embargo/sanction/bomb socialist countries to keep them from rising while at the same time having to throw billions to other capitalists to keep them from sinking.

  • Funny what a little bit of scratching can reveal.

  • From what I understood there was never a ban on Chinese cars being sold in the US, they just put an 100% tariff on them to make it impractical for both dealers and buyers.

  • Here is to hoping she ends up being another Liz Truss instead and is gone within in a year like just like the past dozen British and Japanese PMs.

  • They are partially correct, Russia failed to destroy Ukraine as a nation because credit for that goes more to the Ukrainian government then anyone else.

  • Just read up on Xi's anti-corruption campaign, while it wasn't explicitly an ideological purge it's pretty clear that those that it removed weren't exactly devoted marxists.

  • He just seems a little more pro-private enterprise then I feel comfortable with. He at least seems competent and I don't think he is an outright revisionist like Gorbachev, but enough to make me skeptical.

  • There are some revisionist elements in the CPC (I'm wary of Li Qiang for example) but I definitely wouldn't call Xi a revisionist. His installment as General Secretary was more or less an orthodox marxist coup against revisionist Shanghai politicians.

  • Maybe Milei was a comrade playing 4D chess all along. Crash the economy as hard as possible while bootlicking the US as hard as possible to get them to throw all their money into saving a sinking ship.

  • ChatGPT advised candidates and discord hosted elections, I'm going to need some time to recover.

  • Mass privatization turning out to be a horrendous idea, who would thought.
