“a think tank”

Apologies but this is exactly how the internet works

Me daily: I AM ON FIRE, KEEP WELL CLEAR OF ME

Hey ChatGPT, show me the average midwestern Facebook addict MAGA freak

Remember, every time MAGA shrieks “the left are domestic terrorists!!1!” political violence is almost solely from the brainwashed right wing

It means what we all think it means and I want no further explanation

This is going to be one for the ages…Philly residents are going to make these dorks cry

It’s also almost like we won a world war with a homefront of nearly all women providing logistical and manufacturing support

Basic math lesson: Even if all 7 voted no, REPUBLICANS STILL HAVE A MAJORITY AND WOULD HAVE PASSED THE BUDGET. The “why would Democrats do this?!” crowd really needs to look at the people who voted these ghouls into a trifecta and not the people holding literally zero power in Congress

lol

Biggest CPT Sobel energy I’ve ever seen

Proud to say I've only read one on this list, in an undergrad IR course and I suspect even then it was only so the professor could (rightly) dunk all over Huntington

“I can do some things on the internet that are pretty impactful”

The inability of the Bluesky crowd to understand the basics of US politics and elementary school math continues to astound me

It’s almost like Michelle Obama said the same thing but you ghouls called her a transsexual dictator for it

I don't completely track how russia can be threat so imminent and great that the u.s. needs to forcibly take greenland from an ally, but also not worth sending weapons to ukraine to fight

Imagine spending your career in the IC fighting Russian espionage just so some insecure toddler who passes intel and gets allies killed so Putin pats his bottom

We’re so concerned about the Arctic that we’re pulling battalions off the line in the LITERAL ARCTIC so grandpa can feel like big tough man

China sees Taiwan as a domestic matter. They don’t care about international law and never will when it comes to Taiwan

The “everyone gets a trophy” generation gets their participation trophy

We’ve already seen doubts about the umbrella lead to potential proliferation in S. Korea. All of Europe sliding the same direction would be an unmitigated disaster.

This. The people calling for a Troubles-style response to ICE and shrugging off a low-level insurgency would be the first people disappeared when the balloon goes up

So not being snarky but real question: How does shutting down the government when you're the party out of power with zero leverage, force Republicans to do something they absolutely would never do?

Do you want an insurgency? Because this is how you get an insurgency

Does a coming standoff with noted adversary (checks notes: NATO) finally force Congress to act?

I just…can’t. He’s so goddamn stupid it hurts. NATO. Already. Has. Greenland. You. Dumb. Fuckhead.

Somebody put his plate carrier on a high shelf so he needs his steppy stool to feel like the big strong man he thinks he is

They have all the cosplay operator kit and then stand in the doorway like that not how you get murked during an entry

I love that these asshats are such posers that she's flagging the shit out of the guy next to her and smiling like an idiot

Lebensraum, but in Spanish

The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

Legit curious about the more traditional Rs that are NATO defenders and stridently anti-Russian. Is this nonsense enough to speak out?

It’s not just a war with NATO over Greenland - if NATO breaks up over this, Russia makes a move on Europe and that’s the ballgame.

I really feel like Denmark can convince him that basing access in Greenland is completely new and a win for him, and he can declare victory like a moron and we can move on

They’re always exactly who you think they are

lmao

I mean the odds he changes his mind in the next day or two are high, but the fact that he’s on a streak of selling out allies and partners based on nothing at all is shocking even for him

It’s almost like we have multiple real-life examples to learn from where our regime change plans went absolutely horrible

I’m really ready for someone to square up on these fucking cowards and knock one of them into next week like someone should have in middle school

Good thing one of our NATO allies administers it since it’s so vital to national security. It’s called burden sharing, fuckface. Look it up

Settle this by having women in combat roles do a pull up contest with Pete and see how quickly the review goes away

Wow no fucking shit

It really is incredible that, almost 10 years later, he still doesn’t understand how national defense budgets as part of GDP work

OIF 2: Insurgent Boogaloo is going to be dope

Trump-class is actually perfect for a shipbuilding culture that takes billions from coffers and never produces anything of value

We’re being governed by the dumbest people alive and it’s equally infuriating and hilarious

The rule of law -
