@starezilla @fluppedder no they fucking aren’t lmfao. they haven’t gotten a single fact of American platoon-and-smaller doctrine right since the game’s inception. matter of fact, it’s so bad, that they even completely reworked American squads something like two years ago when they realized 7+2≠11 lmao

@Awwrnold clearly this is because Trump is a moderate who simply wins people over by civil discussion and debate

@EchoesofWarYT The best thing FDR did was let George Marshall run hog wild on the rest of US high command before the war started. I don’t think there’s a single other thing I can give him credit for during his entire tenure

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

the FDR "master statesman" myth dies at Yalta. picture it: a dying man, drugged on his own vanity, sitting across from Joseph Stalin and deciding the play is to charm the dictator while needling his oldest ally.

FDR literally bragged that he teased Churchill to Stalin's face to get the old man to "thaw." he ganged up on the one leader who actually shared his values to flatter the one running a gulag.

it worked about as well as you'd expect. Stalin smiled, signed a promise of "free elections" in Poland, then installed a puppet regime before the ink dried. FDR went home calling it a triumph. within two years Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria were all communist dictatorships.

he handed Stalin half a continent and treated Churchill like the problem. "played" is generous. he paid for the privilege

There's a terrible moment in every boy's life where he realizes an F-15E/X would wipe the floor with a Gundam. And in that somber day, he becomes a man.

@alfredjviii yes but calling the franchise ‘raiders’ is infinitely cooler than calling it ‘Indiana Jones’

One reason the US is considering acquiring Greenland is to secure access to seafood that could potentially bring back unlimited shrimp at Red Lobster. - US official to the New Yorker

In 15 years states will be scratching their heads wondering why they didn’t build more of the magic buildings full of computers that throw off millions in property taxes while consuming minimal water and helping pay for the modernization of the electric grid

@lndexium Honestly their ‘we don’t know where the extra hull weight could fit’ argument is something that I, as someone with only a cursory knowledge of the tank, can get behind. I haven’t seen any good rebuttals other than ‘they replaced 2 tons of wiring with fiber optics’

@FactOrFarb @pippahideen How much of this did the Vietnamese derive from the Chinese? How much of their small arms fire doctrine did they derive organically?

@LilyArtemisTO The woke, DEMONRATIC Left Coast is against minimum wage? clearly I, a bleeding heart conservative, must be in support of it to Own the Libs. Raise the minimum wage to $30/hr!

@mpopv @cruelsardaukar I think you could run a pretty good few tabletop campaigns out of this using the cyberpunk RED rulebook. Assuming no Jedi of course :)

This is like something out of the fucking Turner Diaries

@RespectableCon so incredibly vague and poorly worded… but still broadly accurate

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

Years of burdensome regulations and backward economic policies have failed to provide Americans with affordable housing.

The 21st Century Road to Housing Act reverses this trend by empowering local builders to make homes more affordable.

A lot of people in the quotes showing that they got no idea that the average modern parent is (rightly or wrongly) very paranoid about giving their kid any unsupervised time. Kids are gaming or scrolling cause that's literally the only thing without parental or teacher authority

@holo197510 @EmpireEnjoyer3 So true! Which is why Iraq and Iran fought to stalemate over the course of an entire decade.
