Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Jokes aside (of which I'm sure this thread is aplenty), realistically if we're expecting to be at war with China, Russia and North Korea, you know whichever lunatic president is running the murderhouse is definitely going to fire first; if we're actually expecting wholeheartedly that there'll be a nuclear confrontation, the government will absolutely fire first because in a nuclear war you always want to be the first one to fire, and we'll be doing it with countries that genuinely don't even want any confrontation, let alone a nuclear one. To the government it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when (to fire first).

Living on the same planet as America must be like trying to have a nice meal in the vicinity of someone experiencing hyper roid rage.

indeed America is the rabid dog of the global community

Problem with that rabid dog is that once you go to shoot it, it's fleas launch from it and they somehow destroy you as well.
