    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
