    Lol.

    From “we will bring down prices and drain the swamp” to “we must fight for the moon”.

    I mean I’ve known my entire adult life that fascism is uniquely stupid, but goddamn.

    Ah, yes, the military that famously can’t even keep strategically important Straits open down on Earth will be able to win wars around the Moon.

      Worse, they’re just quoting an appointed stooge without pointing out the bias.

      Speaking at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump said he had met Caine in Iraq in December 2018.[26] According to Trump, Caine told him, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.”[14] Allegedly, he claimed that ISIS could be defeated in a week.[14] Trump also said that Caine was wearing a MAGA hat at the time, a detail denied by Caine.[27]

        “Yeah I said I love him, I think he’s great, I’d let him fuck me and I’d kill for him, but I absolutely WAS NOT wearing a maga hat!!” - Ok dude

      I really don’t think the Mooninites will see it coming, so war should be over in a week or two. I’m willing to back a nuclear bombardment of the Moon, if it will ensure that I can still watch football this weekend.

        Thinking about it, America can win a war on the Moon:

        Specifically, America can win a war against the Moon by default when no Mooninites turn up to fight against them.

        Then again, under the current leadership the American military would still have casualties in a war against the Moon were no Mooninites show up to fight them, purelly because of their own incompetence: I mean, if they can’t even keep a ship properly supplied a few thousands of kilometers away from America in an environment which isn’t even inherently that dangerous, they’ll probably do much worse when the soldiers are 385,000 km away from America in a highly hostile environment.

        Trump will win the war on the moon on day one. The moon will wish it hadn’t started shit.

    You know, we created a treaty decades ago to ensure that space has no business “serving US interests.”

    Hear me out on this one. Maybe, just maybe ‘forever war’ is not in the best interest of humankind. And maybe those that advocate for endless wars should be removed from power and prosecuted.
