My guy you can't even win at videogames you are not a military strategist. That said he's probably right just because it is fucking obvious.

    idk paying people to win games for you is a pretty good strategy, don't know how well it'd translate to irl military strategy though lol

    I mean that’s basically how it’s done: pay a bunch of soldiers to fight the war for you

    really? he thinks the amount of weapons are the problem? and not that there's nowhere near enough manpower who are motivated enough to sacrifice their life for pocket change and the noble goal of raising profits for some delusional oligarchs?

    The Hitlerists had to get stalingraded before they started bullshitting people with their Wunderwaffen pipedreams, but i guess you can also just start with this while you're in the planning stage for your next war.

    Edit: next wars, sorry. ofc they'll do the usual nazi shit and open up as many fronts as possible.

    The USA is going to let Elon build nukes and he’s going to start nuking US cities that refuse to pay him tribute

    Wait until he finds out real war doesn't have fog of war or tech trees, either.

    He will buy Boston Dynamics, rebrand it as X-terminate, use one of those shitty robots as a weapons platform and call it a "Dalek", for the epic memes. Then pretend he inverted it right before it fails spectacularly and kill a shitload of bystanders during a test deployment. Trump will sink $100b into it.

    In my lifetime, America has only lost wars very badly.

    Maybe he's listening to us tankies on the socials and using that to guide his strategy. Cut all of the payments to the MIC until they start functioning.

    And maybe he's close enough to the mark that Chinese intelligence decided it was time to stop the flow of tungsten.

    Tungsten is also a critical component of the semiconductor manufacturing industry. It’s used to shield the silicon from copper, which is necessary but also dangerous because it likes to travel through silicon.

    Yes, the US will lose the next war. But imagine living through the last few years and thinking the problem isn’t in productive capabilities but rather that we need to put even more money into wunderwaffen that won’t actually work.

    I bet his solution is to bloat the war budget even more

    This is him warming up to get some sweet DOD deals. I hope he gets them before Raytheon offs him. I want Tesla to manufacture all equipment for the us army

    Always enough money for war, while people die because they can't afford the over inflated price of insulin and inhalers.

    What if we simply didn't have a next war? Lots of countries in Africa and Europe and Asia have managed to avoid it for a long time.

    America should put that guy in the headline in charge of the weapons program, I mean those bazinga trucks work well right?

  • source
  • [–] 13 points 2 years ago*

    The headline is heartbreaking

    But I hope he does try to "reform" the Us military, then they'll lose the next war even worse.

    Is he saying that because he's intentionally fucking up the US?
