-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Indeed, I think the real danger is that US might start a conventional war with China thinking they could win, and then when things inevitably start going south, there's a lot of potential for stupid shit to happen. RAND actually published a study on a conventional war with China, and this is the level of insanity we're dealing with https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1140.html
Jfc you weren't kidding, these people are actually detached from reality. Amerikkkans really can't comprehend the reality of war since they haven't actually experienced it as a population since the civil war. 100% the war would start with America attacking, getting a bloody nose, losing a carrier or two, and launching nukes at China.
Indeed, it's just absolutely surreal stuff.
And even the civil war was very restrained to the population compared to what USA always did to others.
