I am not alogging JD Vance but it is interesting seeing that his only involvement in this Iran situation is commenting neutrally on Trump's decisions and now being brought up by Iran as a negotiator in order to try to split the US admin in the same way the US is doing to Iran. Not Vance's fault at all and the Iran war is not in Vance's list of duties but it's interesting seeing how things are going:

Marco Rubio this year has essentially been:




Hegseth has been:



Meanwhile Vance is sitting there like

"The dumb nigger you befriended in a naive attempt to get blacks to vote republican tries to help you by getting the gay furry that killed you set free" American politics is a giant shitpost
 
Foreign influencers are begging for their revenue to the head of X and getting told to get fucked.

Can someone explain to me why foreigners feel entitled to American currency as payment for posting stuff (truth, fiction or lies, regardless of "engagement") on an American-based social media company (coming from American advertisers' pockets)?

The X employee is spot on -- talk about your own fucking country and you can get paid for it if people around you think you're worth engaging with. Who the fuck gives a shit what a third-worlder from the opposite hemisphere thinks of the US, much less wants to pay them for telling us?
 
In a sane society a lynch mob full of White men would still be not only legally able but morally obligated to do it.
When I learned about lynching during history class I was appalled that people would just team up and brutally kill a man.

After witnessing the constant and deliberate miscarriages of justice I understand
 
>he DOESN'T want to be a member of the Martian colonization team and convince the colonists to go rogue as soon as the colony is resource-independent to become the Martian-Reich, creating a new Martian society free of lesser, non-white races.
Point at this gay lord and laugh.
This is just the plot to COD Infinite Warfare

I don't envy his position. It's Marco vs Vance for who will get the big chair after Trump. So far Marco seems like the stronger pick because Trump keeps shovling shit onto him. Imagine getting a call in the middle of the night and hear "Morning Marco, I kidnapped Maduro, go make sure Venezuela doesn't implode and US oil companies can move in."

Trump's domestic front is handled primarily by Miller while Marco handles international affairs. Vance really doesn't have much going on other than trying to be the reasonable straight man to Trump's mad dog, but even that has been mainly taken by Rubio. Also the sudden souring of Indians doesn't really help.
 
ABMs are literally working almost daily now over Israel so ICBMs are going to soon become less of a MAD situation and more of a min-max. SLBMs from submarines are going to be the one nut we haven't really started publicly cracking yet.

OTOH WHAT ARE ALL THE METEORS OVER THE USA LOL CALL ME SCHIZO JUST SAYING ITS COINCIDENTAL AS FUCK. Whatever. We've literally seen Israel shoot lasers at rockets the moment they leave launchers, but lasers need LOS and close range at the moment.

We're in interesting times, I'll just leave it at that.
You've kind of lost me I was talking about the 1950s lol

The entire world sees America as a piggy bank to rob because our currency is worth so much more than theirs that even a little American money will let them live in luxury

Third worlders don't compete for influence in the third world because their opinions simply don't matter.

Whose opinion is worth more?

A citizen, politician, or business that has political influence in the strongest, most wealthy nation on Earth

Or

One of a billion diseased mongrels from an impoverished country with no meaningful influence on global policy
 
edit: Starship Troopers was intended as a juvenile novel (Heinlein's last of those) so imho governmental double-dealing wouldn't have been a suitable theme/plot point. Remember it appeared in 1959.

Heinlein's juveniles are full of governmental doubledealing. He was educating the young. The attack on Buenos Aires is not a false flag in Starship Troopers though.
 

“Of course, the Marxian definition of value is ridiculous. All the work one cares to add will not turn a mud pie into an apple tart; it remains a mud pie, value zero. By corollary, unskillful work can easily subtract value; an untalented cook can turn wholesome dough and fresh green apples, valuable already, into an inedible mess, value zero. Conversely, a great chef can fashion of those same materials a confection of greater value than a commonplace apple tart, with no more effort than an ordinary cook uses to prepare an ordinary sweet.” -Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers​
