I mean, that's definitely a more honest name, how much of what they do is actually "defense" vs just imperialism

president epstein, trying to do anything to not talk about himself. constant threat of tariffs since hes been doing for a while isnt working, he moved onto the troops in LA strategy, followed by faking "health issues", and insulting people. hes going to keep recycling this until people get tired of it go back to talking about the files.

I mean...we've been fucking the world up since Korea and Vietnam. Arguably also WW1 (2 we sort of had an excuse because of Japan). And South America before that.

In theory it is the idea that we minimize harm to the heartland by engaging threats/"threats" before they burn down the white house again (mad props to Canada).

But nah. This is just the republicans continuing to be fucking morons. Like when perry (?) campaigned on killing the DOEnergy, got appointed as head, and realized that there were nukes next to all that clean coal.

It was known as the department of war until shortly after WW2. This is one change where I appreciate the honesty. Doesn't make him any better.
