I did say, with tremendous regret, that it might take a war to “fix” this. That “fix” might involve decades of foreign influence/rule/occupation

china can figure out on it's own what our options are. any YouTuber / mil blogger can enumerate how our chess pieces can be moved about the pacific and what allies will contribute. only so many moves. and it always changes.

Step 1. Get intel on USA war plans against China
Step 2. Secure commitment from China to have straw man agents buy shares of failing Tesla stock

Step 4. Shhhhhhh - Ancient Chinese secret

Remind me again, what position of government was Elon Musk elected to?

mutable.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wonder where he could possibly imagine he’ll be in, say, 20 years; whether having this knowledge is strategically Good for EM, or Bad for EM?

mercurys-hooman.bsky.social•1 day ago

As I've been saying

Trump will weaken America, leaving us vulnerable to attack

There is absolutely no reason for Musk to be given this kind of information, absolutely none!

Yup tell fElon who has deep ties to China absolutely everything. That will go really well.

As a reminder, Elon is hella conflicted with China, given the factories he has there. Dude even wrote a column for China's censorship agency.

orchidorkidum.bsky.social•1 day ago

The only thing we can hope for is that the plans that he is briefed on are either outdated or not all of the options. Or at least I’d hope the Pentagon would be smart enough to do so. Including to that shitshow Hegseth.

Hopefully, the Pentagon shows Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb a phony plan, on the assumption they’ll inadvertently leak shit.

At least Elon will be baked out of his mind on ketamine and Drumph will be stoned on adderall for either of them to recall correctly for their calls back to Putin.

Of all the treasonous assaults on the constitution and we, the people, I think this one is the ripper. Prior to Trump's EO's, how or who would've put an end to these crimes against Americans? Do we have to wait for the judiciary? Isn't there a preemptive plan? I guess the plan is defunct, too.

johnysilverhand.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Nobody is arguing the commander-in-chief isn’t compromised, rather that service members serve the constitution. it’s not uncommon for officers to refuse unconstitutional orders via UCMJ’s “duty to disobey”. Have you had a different experience in your time serving? I assume since you’re an expert

brooklynmarie.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Sorry, but your attempt to appeal to authority withers away in the face of actual reality

johnysilverhand.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Appeal to authority???? I fucking served and heard stories about it and learned it. Never witnessed but still
