welp...

that was fun to watch. Suck it yankees.

Taiwan won't be easy for the PRC. Normandy was close to the south coast of England and the Luftwaffe was cooked by the combined air offensive but it was still very hard to land and get ashore. Taiwan would be a tougher nut because of advanced weapons and bad conditions for the invader. Taiwan has a very, weird weather pattern and very few good beaches. The Atlantic hurricane season is chaotic for the US; but the western Pacific tropical cyclone season is murder for the east coast of China, the South China Sea and Taiwan. Landing on the west coast of Taiwan is channelized in only a few possible places. Tactical airborne landings are murder in any environment where shoulder fired SAMs exist. Note how hard it was for the Russian elite forces to take Hostumel Airport: they didn't. Now the US has been working fast to integrate some very advanced and effective systems such as the Typhon, Rapid Dragon, AIM-260 which will meet or beat similar advances for the PRC. China is seeing the importance of swarm AI with drones which the US leads in development of but they have a lot of tech advantages in as well. The war would be bloody and expensive. If we can keep our alliances we can and should win but I do not like to contemplate the costs. This is a very good essay on the subject: https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2024/september/no-one-should-think-war-will-be-short and the author discusses it here

Not what i meant. I meant that as a fascist Trump will disarm his opponents. That’s playbook.

Hitler banned guns. Trump likes Hitler.

Not as much as is necessary for us to easily win a road game at the extreme western end of the Pacific against a strong near-peer power. We need to keep our allies and build more collective security structures to dissuade the PRC from thinking anything but bad things would happen if they tried. Of course if Trump wins, they win. So...

Woah Feels true as well.

Trump is going to ban guns

We haven't seen such an obvious cocaine user since the final scene of Scarface.

since Trump said it it is true. Motherly love for children is not as important as tariff protection for the aluminum industry

I guess he's decided he might as well lose because he'll have his goons fighting anyway.

The ending was solid.

Does Google AI kill us all before the Tigers win another World Series? No, don't be silly it would confuse us for new world monkeys...but poor new world monkeys, jeesh Nein, Google AI ist allen überlegen. Alle begrüßen Google AI! Yes, its time to stockpile food, hydro and ammunition.

Good point

The looks

Big if true...I also suspect that his Sundowning this week has hurt Trump at a critical time.

Reminds me of Peta from Hunger Games

Ok, then take back what I said about it being great news

Is there a better source for this?

THIS IS A HUGE DEAL. This is Aragorn-showing-up-with-the-Army-of-the-Dead level of good news.

always assumed it was.

To be replaced with red state non-union redhats? "Whoopity Doo!" [fires AR into the sky] "the South will rise again, boys!"

Some shenanigans were likely suspected involving insiders.... again, dog bites man.
