They're gonna go kill brown people to get the focus off of the richest ruling elite in the world (including their own commander in chief) trafficking, raping, and murdering children.

So exactly what has been keeping the US alive for over a century, yes.

Does it count as stopping the most wars when you started them all?

Olympics end today so it's showtime for the military industrial complex.

[–] groupofcrows@lemmy.ca 43 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I had to check the date. It's been 4 years since the end of the Beijing winter Olympic, also known as the start of Russia's 3 day special military operation.

It’s also a few days into Ramadan, a holiday where Muslims fast while the sun is up. (It lasts approximately from fat Tuesday to Easter.)
So, you know, if you want to fuck up someone’s day, make ‘em work extra hard while hangry.

(Which is not necessarily true. IIRC, much of the religious understanding and forgiveness in Islam is about intent. They might be cool with breaking a fast when facing an existential threat. But it’s Iran, sooo…)

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago

Yeah they have a clause about even eating pork if it's a matter of life and death. It's one of those "God gets it" kind of fine print.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

More like, Ramadan, meaning they're ticked off because they're hungry and go fire off a few IRAMs. Attacks always increased when they were fasting.

Okay. And for those of us that haven’t served what does it mean? Fucking gate keepers, man.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

I didn't serve and know well that this is a bad omen. When the military gives unprompted moral-boosting rewards, it means they're buying something.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 124 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Such good food is served to boost morale and mood of soldiers before the battle. In this case, before a new war. To be more precise: before war between the USA and Iran(and Israel as an ally).

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 26 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Ally? The US is subservient to Israel.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 3 hours ago

Or less charitably we can say the president, and congress, are Israel's bitch.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Cute, you think it's a country in charge? HA

The USA and Israel serve the same master

Holy shit, I don't want another needless war in the middle east but my god do I want to see Berserker Blobby go absolutely ape shit and start wailing on everyone in his path.

Blobby!

BLOBBY!

BLOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBY!

Oh they meant served as in military service. Given the context, I read it as anyone who has been a server/waiter and served food.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 54 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

War is coming tomorrow.

Edit: again, I would like to add that this is wild speculation.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 20 points 7 hours ago (20 children)

i will honestly be surprised if it happens this far out from the midterms. i was thinking shit hits the fan maybe a month or two at most before voting day, so fascists can pep rally their braindead supporters into a "we are victorious, therefore the best party" bullshit narrative

i could be wrong. it doesn't matter. trump was always going to invade iran, regardless of how fucking dumb that always was

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Idk, it will spike gas prices presumably, one thinks Iran would shut down the straits of hormuz this time, I can't believe they didn't last time though so what do I know. But it will supercharge inflation, and gas prices, 25% of oil moves through there.

Plus once a ship gets blown up, insurance pulls their coverage, and those tankers are worth like a hundred million or more, they won't risk them in a war zone without insurance.

One would think between mines, and missiles they could have dug in and pull out and shoot off then disappear, that they could shut down the straits, and that maybe last time they were holding back to wait it out and not escalating. Which was a mistake as it guarenteed Israel would want to get some more cost free hits in.

But close to the election the hyper inflation could hurt, now they've plenty of time to calm it down, assuming they can keep Israel on a leash enough to keep the gulf ships going through after.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You think Iran could control the Strait of Hormuz against two US carrier strike groups?

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I think they could with mines, and missiles, and drones, be able to hit oil tankers well enough to shut down the straits of hormuz.

You don't think so? I thought they were going to do it last time and they didn't, so maybe I was mistaken.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (3 children)

There are certain things people can reasonably criticize the US military as being bad at, but I don't think anyone can credibly claim it isn't excellent at achieving air superiority. I mean, maybe it could turn out that the Navy is "fighting the last war" and unprepared for drones, but I don't think that's likely. Especially not against Iran (China I might give more credit to, what with their hypersonic missiles and all).

The military isn't well known for their cuisine. The exception is when they're about to deliver some bad news. Steak and lobster means you're about to get shipped off to war.

Being sent to fertilise Iranian fields?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 47 points 7 hours ago

A pedophile wants to create a distraction so he asks his genocidal friend how he does it so they start a war together. Imagine dying so a pedophile doesn't have to face justice. MAGA: they'll do it.

I hope good things can grow out of american fertilizer

What a completely normal human way to hold a hotdog.

The Fizzy Glizzy with that coke

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's an advanced hot dog holding technique known as "the imminent deepthroat".
