    Hey you read this situation better than I did, props, it was truly a TACO tuesday.

    You’re totally right about the drones, I don’t think our military has the slightest clue what is coming for them on a war scaled against china, and I think China is actually the winner of this war, as saturation missile and drone attacks have been their plans for a long time (missile more than drone, but now why not both?!).

    We keep defunding laser weapons, which may be for good reason, but I always imagine it is because their is no repeatable grift on a laser weapon unlike a missile which requires lots of military industrial complex funding and maintenance on a huge scale.

    They definitely succeeded, our economy is pretty fucked. Curious what long term effects come from this.

    As an aside, I would love to see a comparison of DJ’s 10 point ceasefire deal and the original Obama deal, feels like we are much worse off now as we are responsible for paying for both the weapons we launched, and the damage we did, how dumb can we be?

      Definitely China is the winner here, and USA is the loser, with EU somewhere in between. I think EU is gaining friends fast ATM. Trade deals with South America and India, and Japan and Canada even joining our SAFE program.
