Kamala Harris was right.

One of the things that people like Ajax and President Dump don’t understand is that the world has changed since Ukraine helped usher in a new era of drone warfare.

If Trump and his supporters like Ajax had even a basic understanding of how modern warfare has evolved, they would’ve realized before striking Iran that the entire battlefield has changed. You can have billions of dollars’ worth of equipment and hundreds of thousands of troops, but the traditional relationship between money, manpower, and battlefield superiority has been disrupted by cheap drones and inexpensive explosives. Wishful thinking doesn’t change reality.

A $500 drone can destroy a $2B stealth bomber. A few troops armed with AI-enhanced drones that cost a few hundred $ each can devastate a much larger force. Holding territory is no longer as straightforward as it once was because drones can navigate around corners through FPV feeds and strike selected targets with extraordinary precision.

Volume of fire matters not when a single drone can eliminate a handful of soldiers with one strike. An enemy force can be systematically targeted from a distance and then have territory occupied afterward with far fewer risks than in previous eras.

Since the rise of drone warfare, there’s never been a greater need for strategic thinking and diplomacy over force and tactical swagger. What the world needs are smart leaders who understand not only the battlefield, but also the geopolitical realities we face. A FOX NEWS COMMENTATOR SHOULDN’T BE THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.

The incompetence of President Dump and his MAGA supporters in starting this war is rivaled only by Russia’s incompetence in starting theirs. There will be no peace until US aggression against Iran ends. Americans will be left paying 100’s of billions of dollars in reparations because people like Ajax and Trump seem to believe we’re living in a Chuck Norris movie where a guy can ride a motorcycle into battle with missiles on the handlebars and save the day.

It’s damned absurd.

I never want to see a Republican in charge of the military again. They’re fools. Ajax should quietly retire to wherever he lives and enjoy the rest of his life because he and people who think like him have made life more difficult for everyone else. They need to shut the “F” up, step aside, and let more competent people handle world affairs, because all they do is make everything worse for all of us.

Either way, we become a SOCIALIST SOCIETY within Ajax’s fever dream.

It's a good point, once the US government is fully colonialist going around conquering the developing world for "oil wealth" (assuming it's economically viable, which there is no chance in hell) you have to ask, what does it do with its money? If it's "social colonialism" where the spoils "build America" in general, then Ajax is essentially an admitted communist, especially with the head of the military being the leader of the country. To avoid what would essentially amount to communism, something he apparently loves, the spoils would need to go entirely to the ruling class and the military and any direct participants in the effort.

But Ajax is not in the military nor does he have any position that stands to benefit. The only way to make this conform to what I can see as a proper colonialist ideology, is strip the poor of present social welfare. When they are starving to death, then they will volunteer for cheap to become soldiers or "settlers" in Iran to help control the territory. In this case, the underclass will no longer have health benefits and need to take what they can get in the occupied country. There is no boon for optometrists here, unless he's willing to get on a plane and provide his services for elite or needed occupiers, which means to serve his country he needs to live in Iran and take the risks.

From there, the American poor's fate would be tied to the profitability of conquest. The Iranians would be killed, slowly die, or wither into extreme poverty. Since Ajax recently stated his love for God and Christ while admitting he was a sinner, is the desire for American colonialism tied to what he feels the Book of Mormon teaches, or do these impulses come from the "sinner" he admitted to being?

Does MAGA have any idea how dangerous things are right now having a President openly bragging that he can identify an elephant on a cognitive test? Dump is the kind of dementia-riddled old man who would foolishly get us into an unnecessary, costly, reputation-destroying war in the Middle East.

Oh. Wait. That’s exactly what FOX News brain grandpa did.

Unfortunately it's the obvious play. If I were an advisor, I'd tell him to brag about it just like he is. The model of the class clown stands. I'll admit, what I think he's doing is "smart". The class clown throws spitballs at the teacher and scrambles to sit down when the teacher turns to see who's doing it, but it's super clumsy and obvious. The teacher chastises the class clown and he's almost crying while demanding, "it wasn't me!" and blames the kid in the class that gets picked on. Negative attention turns to that kid. The goody-two shoes liberal raises her hand and outs the class clown, and interestingly, the class clown persists with the victim act but doesn't throw shade at the girl, he's unsure how to play it with her due to a mixture of self-esteem issues and also not wanting to tempt fate, at this point, with somebody who is ideologically determined as he is. His act of cowering from her, revealing his guilt on a deeper level, only brings more attention to himself.

When the opportunity affords itself, he stands from his desk and throws another spitball, and in the clumsiness of the act, his pants fall down revealing a crap stain and everyone laughs. He turns around and face red, tells everyone to shut up, grabs at his backside and when he discovers the problem, denies it, but then contradicts himself by blaming the teacher for it happening. The next-in-line clown claps and shouts, "pure genius!" and I think from here we see how it goes. Nobody in the class wants to be "uncool" and take the girl's side, and so stays quiet while a silent majority of supporters entertained by the antics grows.

So that's all that we're seeing here, although in this case the absurd consequences are becoming more absurd by the day. The biggest danger is with the people so easily entertained. I can't blame the clown as much, who knows he has no principles and just taking the obvious opportunity. It's the supporters who consider themselves thoughtful and intelligent people who are the real garbage.

If I google “30-question cognitive test”, the only hits I get are all about a common check for dementia. Getting all questions right does seem to mean that one probably does not have dementia. It certainly doesn’t indicate “extreme intelligence”.

The thirty-first question, which Trump voluntarily added, is on the other hand a clear indication of something. “Do you think that getting thirty of the previous kind of question right would show extreme intelligence?” Answering “Yes” indicates low intelligence.

Do you trust his word on the matter?

I realize you aren’t arguing for this, but the average E-4 would never see a dime of any war profits. The people taking the risks and the people profiting would be very different groups.

Do you trust his word on the matter?

No, but he posted his thirty-first answer in public, so that’s on record no matter how he actually did on the other questions, and the conclusion stands.

Israel no longer drops bombs on Iran and has passed all responsibility (and liability) to its American puppets, right?

My friend, and I say this in the kindest way possible, but that’s a lie, too. “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.” fails because the creator of the MoCA said that exact five-word sequence doesn’t match the actual word lists used on the test.

Dump’s brain is so dull that he can’t recall the actual five words and the order they were in, revealing a mind struggling with basic memory tasks.
