    Russia is wasting no time here. They’re already starting to pull apart the US military while the tariffs plan strikes at the core of the US’s most important alliances. And their regime hasn’t even taken power yet.

      This is similar shit I pull in strategy games. Nevermind sending out armies, imma undermine their economy, kill their morale, and convert their officers. Only then would I, if this fails, consider sending in troops.

      We live in an age of unprecedented information exchange. Boots on the ground isn’t how war is fought anymore.

      You have to give it to Russia; they’re doing a lot better in Cold War II than expected (not that that’s a good thing).

        We kinda left ourselves wide open by sanctioning a surveillance adtech economy and not prosecuting corruption. This is just the logical next stage (leverage surveillance adtech to sway votes and install the corruptible.)
