  • "This is Not a Dress Rehearsal": U.S. Engaged in Massive Military Buildup as Threat To Bomb Iran Grows

    Jump

  • I don’t have a link for it, but so far the only source for the nuke rumors I’ve seen is a 4chan post claiming that Israel is going to use tac nukes to disable missile bases and possibly get a leadership bunker in Tehran. The post is worded to suggest that the poster is someone inside some aspect of the operation or military buildup which I suppose is getting people to take it more seriously, but it’s an anonymous source on 4chan, so not something credible.

  • There’s also those huge rats they train to find landmines… rats are truly under appreciated.

  • The century of the maxxer

    Jump

  • That section cracked me up when I was listening to my phone read the article the other day. My wife heard me and wanted to know what was funny… “oh boy here we go” I thought as I launched into a 20 minute explanation of the maxxing haha

  • This was a good piece, very clear and helpful explanation re: dollar supremacy and global shifts off of the us system.

  • Yeah I’m curious also—this seems plausible after the trump admin FDA rejected their recent flu shot application, which was fairly unprecedented I read.

    There’s a creepy undercurrent here also which is like “America must have horribly expensive healthcare because without it there’s no financial basis to do vaccine development”

  • Ok that makes sense actually—you want pilots trained on hardware you want to use, everything has specialized mission types now so you can’t just be basic pilot, you have to do x or y vis-a-vis ECW / air defense, etc. thanks for the info and for your general analysis you do in the news feed, always appreciated on my end.

  • I feel like you’ve probably explained this a bunch already, but if you don’t mind—how does the linkage work with “air national guard”. I know we use natl guard in different scenarios, ie the deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, etc. Just initially strikes me as strange that Vermont would have such a highly developed air guard with such a specific purview? Or put another way, why does a unit in theory dedicated to home defense have such a specialized SEAD focus? Maybe it’s just like how you have these random groupings and units in the army with different specializations like that weird Virginia based army group, intelligence support activity, etc.

  • I don't remember what Sean Penn movie are they talking about

    Jump

  • I’ve been wondering about this since I saw it—they had to have filmed that a year or longer ago, and it feels obvious that the Penn character is a send up of bovino, but personally I wasn’t aware of him until this year… one more point in favor of how great that movie is.

  • Jesus. I don’t want to watch that again, but that really looks like a straight up execution. Can’t wait to see what bullshit lies they trot out for this one. This is the kind thing that really blows shit up, we might be in for a wild ride cool zone style

  • Measles cases skyrocket in the US

    Jump

  • Not sure if I know how to properly analyze in this vein, but I’d say that manipulating people into avoiding public health, higher disease spread, etc can support a general push to dismantle institutions, sell drugs and healthcare equip, and generally keep the unwashed masses at odds with each other and scared/sick while the grifter elite raid the henhouse and build up better walls and security.

    It’s fairly clear that the elites somewhat see the writing on the wall, and that their choice has been not to retreat/reduce their footprint, but to aggressively pursue rentier extremism / ecofascism / eugenics option.

  • A.I. Is Ruining Gaming

    Jump

  • No you’re right, and that was one of the reasons I did it because I had changed to a 4k screen and unlike other things that actually does use the graphics card more. But I suspect the games Ive been playing would still be ok on my old card.

  • A.I. Is Ruining Gaming

    Jump

  • It’s hilarious—I spent a bucket of cash on a high end gfx card year and a half ago to upgrade and have proceeded to play almost exclusively games that I could have run on my early 2000s computer. Feel silly about it but basically just saying you’re correct, you mostly dont need the super cards for most stuff? You can certainly get by in most cases with a second / third tier card.

  • Not saying they dont have the capability—I just mentioned it because the commentator seemed confident that China had provided assistance (they have been on a starlight tear recently) as an example that China and Russia had stronger location/geopolitical interests in Iran compared to Venezuela.

  • No good definite source, but I heard on a podcast a former US Col. speculating that China had helped Iran black out all the Israeli starlink terminals they’d smuggled into the country. Seems plausible, but I don’t have confirmation to offer either.

  • Damn that looks pretty swell. Plus based on my in depth knowledge of firearms from Tarkov, that should have very good recoil and I should be able to shoulder it very quickly.
