      Usually I mock posts that see America doing the things America has always done and going “what are we a bunch of <slavs/chinese/third world nation>”, but usually America is good at lying.

    It’s a lot faster to put in video game footage than it is to get some B-roll from the military and get it declassified.

    Not that this administration cares about rules tbh.

        Bobby Kotick was very good friends with Epstein. Just search for both of their names together. Epstein also pushed microtransactions.

    Leveraging one of their biggest recruitment tools as additional propaganda? Say it isn’t so. Well luckily, it’s not like CoD is actually on the government payroll, so of course a cease and desist will be following shortly… right?

    Real or not. Iran, Khamenei, Venezuela, Maduro, kindergaten girls etc are not the actual targets of our military operations. The main course is Vladimir Putin. If you watch the chain of events closely, this is exactly what you do when you have to take down Vladimir Putin.

      Wild mental gymnastics, because they’re in no way targeting Putin, while they are double tapping kindergartners. None of these actions have impacted Putin, and if anything, destabilizing Venezuela has given Russia a bigger foothold on oil sales. If it wasn’t obvious with the Ukrainian war, the US doesn’t care about what Russia is doing.

        A lot of you fail to see the lines being drawn and will not even recognise it if I show it to you. You already called it “mental gymnastics” proving to me that you have a hard time figuring it out. I already did the hard work for you so you don’t have to and I guess you believed Trump was going after Maduro for drug sales (because Maduro is a pharmaceutical rep. , right?) Maybe that one is easier for you to understand. No “Mental gymnastics” required lol 😄

          Bring receipts or don’t speak. No one thinks that about Maduro, it’s explained in the 2025 National Security Strategy that it’s because the US can’t compete with China and needs to pull back international presense. If you can’t prove what you say even with your “proof,” there is nothing you need to say. What, did god whisper it to you in a dream? You read it in your tea leaves? Your FBI handler finally reply back?

      Its not about them trying to pass video game footage as real. Them leaning into the video game esthetic is the problem. Its glorifying war, death, and destruction. Its also intentionally appealing to military aged boys/men. Its a sleezy recruitment video
