I’ve always hated America, my homeland, but man, we are sinking sinking sinking

Top tier guest. Anibale has moved up my rankings with his current Barbarossa series though

Thank you for the update on John. Really hope he’s feeling better.

Listening to the description of what's going on with drone production was so frustrating, because it's pretty word-for-word the David Glantz description of how the Soviet's beat the Germans in war production. We know this is how war production works. Coordination of workable standards is always going to be more sustainable and efficient than helter-skelter production farmed out to a thousand different contractors with a million different models trying to leverage minor technical advancements. Shit, you can go back to the bottlenecks in the Crimean War to see this issue. And it's not like this is some inherent state of the United States military, with its early adoption of replaceable parts and the Springfield armory. We willfully abandoned lobotomized ourselves in favor of a bloated and ineffective military complex selling unsustainable gold plated weapon's systems, at best for the illusion of bloodless war, and at worst for nothing more than rank corruption.

CR

It's both

It's a slow leak. And anyone who recognizes the ship listing is either saving themselves or is a loser who is fucked even if the ship were perfectly seaworthy. I'm in the latter group.

It's the Atomic Age, dude. Conventional militaries just exist to help members of the ruling class with tiny dicks compensate for their small dickedness. None of this shit has any practical purpose except to transfer money into the hands of an increasingly tiny, inbred, stupid elite. So it's all working exactly according to plan.

a clash of purple

All nation-states operate according to the same principles and the same logic. The U.S. acts the way it does because it's the global hegemon. If someone else was the global hegemon, they'd be doing the exact same thing. Not to let the American ruling class off the hook, but as infuriating as they are, they're no different than the disgusting vermin who inevitably rise to the top of every nationalist project.

Michael S. Judge

I wonder all the time if many Ukrainians, via different actors & translations, know that Kolomoisky sounds exactly like Wario. Boosting $3 billion from the IMF, running away going "WAAAAAHHHHHHH," Zelensky/Yoshi flopping his tongue around at the crime scene

a clash of purple

I can't believe Poroshenko is still hanging around. Do you think he's hoping they'll make him president again one day?

Antipaganda

Well, sure, but also they're the failing, melting hegemon, riddled with rot from the hungry middlemen worms infesting its flesh.

Gergely Gáli

I waited for the mention of the Semion Mogilevich connection, but i guess that would have been one too many antisemite stereotype for one episode.

Antipaganda

Thanks for the update, guys. Very informative, very sobering.

The Western way of war seems to be to burn giant piles of money and to hope the enemy chokes in the smoke.

etienne

I'm under investigation by NABU bro I'm literally raided by BUBO fam, I have a bounty on my head from FUBU homie I literally have GUGO agents on my ass bro the BOFA police is about to

etienne

the good news is that we're all supposed to be pivoting to Wartime Keysianism so it's gonna get worse!

Brian Brain

At one point Peter mentioned "the people of Nabu" and all I could think of was Jar Jar Binks

etienne

me: please stop retconning Star Wars it's already too incomprehensible george lucas: ... and so the Trade Federation's power struggle against the NABU anticorruption brigade deepened just as a pair of Jedi envoys arrived to clear up the situation

Maciek

Ukrainian media is reporting Yermak is being fired shortly. At least thats what the Russian telegram channels are reporting. This gonna be an interesting few werks.

Jo

Clearly Ukraine just needs to deploy a single 'JarJar-BNKS' clsss Drone to the front lines. The кланкерс won't know what hit them!

Maciek

https://t.me/ukraine_watch/51093 Umerov is in Turkey, just met Zelensky at the airport. I am more and more confused by whats going on with UKR power. If i was a betting man, this delegation thats led by the US Army delegation thats arriving in Kiev this week is going to lay out the Budanov or Zalzhuny replacement peace plan for Zelensky. Now the Russian sides been very vocal about this turning into an de-nazification operation for some time now, so why would they accept either of them when one is basically an mi5/cia created nazi and the other is an old school bendara style nazi. All of this corruption backdrop against couple Rada MPs openly saying that the entire country could fall in a matter of weeks because of how fast the front is falling. Theres no way Zelensky is going to be enjoying that Bugatti Tourbillon when this is all wrapped up. I just dont see an exit strategy where someone doesnt want to kill him for political gain and once the Americans exit, I doubt the mi5 Zelensky protection is gonna stick around for long. And personally, i cant fucking wait. I hope his wife is got too, as I really believe the Russian propaganda when they say shes part of the organ harvesting operation, and her shopping trips overseas are less shopping and more selling of organs.

Maciek

Heres some info on the organ harvesting operation. https://t.me/ukraine_watch/39010 and https://t.me/ukraine_watch/42371 , the only reason itd say is it’s pretty believable is the telegram is run by the former SBU guy who defected to Russia and the UKR side has tried assassinating last year, and hes been very conservative with the information he posts. Oh and well the American are also kind of echoing similar https://t.me/ukraine_watch/22021 …edit fucked up my telegram channels, this is the one thats run by the SBU colonel https://t.me/ukr_leaks_eng/4061 but ukrwatch is pretty conservative, just not the same level of insider knowledge.

Sam Zeng

Yeah but lets be honest the US military is never going to fight a peer-peer war. It doesn't need to.

Peter Z

Always worth asking about mercanaries

parker

Tbf that's giants piles of money used to refer to large ass navies and competent rnd as well as a civilian sector that actually had to fight for contracts. It just turns out when you turn your military into a way for people to make money by scamming it you slowly year by year lose what you originally got by Burning huge piles of money. For example the first dreadnaught or the nuclear bombs we so love are now apart of life

CR

Team Nothing Ever Happens remains undefeated.
