support for that is literally lower than minimum bar for detectable beliefs (like, the 10-15% of people who will say that aliens control the government) - ThreadSky

It feels like sheer actor-network theory politics at this point

Far more stupid things have happened. Like these fucking tarriffs.

No, a trade war—while staggeringly stupid—is not stupider than a hot war with our continental neighbors.

brute.bsky.social•26 days ago

That's 10-15%!?!?

Making a move on Canada would be the fastest way for Trump to trade the Oval for a cold apartment in Moscow.

kerravon.bsky.social•26 days ago

That, of course, is his best scenario besides "gas station sign ending."

I'm starting to suspect that Trump might not be able to actually organize military action on any meaningful scale unless one of his predecessors did all the work for him.

Anything that actually changes US posture is a team effort and Trump is useless at that.

birblib.bsky.social•26 days ago

I'm sure he could order some units to move from their current location to another location, or cancel a pre-planned operation or exercise. But assembling a combined arms team to do something unusual? I really don't think so.

Trump is a Pakled.

Massive tariffs and a bogged down invasion in a neighboring country is basically the path to become the most despised political figure in the 21st century

the scenario from the South Park movie is literally more credible than the US doing Operation Yukon Freedom

I swear to God if we turn Michael Moore's one fiction movie into a documentary...

I dunno, this aliens theory is starting to seem a little more plausible now

imthewalruz.bsky.social•26 days ago

The point people are drug addled paradox brained groypers. And military strikes against Mexico have been en vogue for a few years now in RW spaces. Obviously I can't be certain. Let's see if he orders military buildups on the borders.

bornat3b.bsky.social•26 days ago

He’s moved more military down there.

imthewalruz.bsky.social•26 days ago

Oh sure but that's just so the Army can stop the fentanyl

bornat3b.bsky.social•26 days ago

Of course. Silly me.

senorgreygoose.bsky.social•26 days ago

Pretty sure an alien actually does control the government.

bluespacecanary.bsky.social•26 days ago

Still thinking about all those hundreds of thousands of nuclear submarine-certified 19 year olds

cuddlessmash.bsky.social•26 days ago

don't worry the paradoxbrained nazi freaks in charge of the government assure me that they found the "justify war" button and we will all love it in 50 to 100 days

birblib.bsky.social•26 days ago

The reason I'm not actually super worried about Trump invading whoever is that there is no "invade country" button. Starting a war is a lot of work on both the military side and the political side, and none of the people in this administration seem to know how to do it.

weirdhimejin.bsky.social•26 days ago

Trump already declared mexican cartels as terrorist organizations. Which means he doesn't need congressional approval to attack. This is how Bush and Obama got away with invading 4+ countries

doomscroll.bsky.social•26 days ago

That part isn’t relevant. What is relevant is the logistics.

If they tried to go after the cartels for example, it would be a Vietnam style boondoggle

birblib.bsky.social•26 days ago

Do you think that George W. Bush just needed congress's permission to press the "invade Iraq" button, or did he maybe have to, like, do some things on his end to make it happen?

theophite.bsky.social•26 days ago

that isn't true.
