@sickburnbro@TrevorGoodchild I tend to agree with both of you, and the strongest evidence in your favor is a report from the US War Army College last year (screenshot below is from Simplicius’ blog)
The tl;dr is that Zog would sustain 3600 casualties PER DAY in a near-peer conflict. Given that the military is as small as it’s been since the end of WWII, and the most optimistic draft estimates I’ve seen are 50K recruits in seven months (lmao good luck with that), it’s safe to say that Uncle Sam ain’t in fighting shape
@TrevorGoodchild I think it’s clear that Team B wants to reorient Zog’s focus away from Russia (the hohols are clearly cooked) and more towards Iran/China.
The question is how far they intend to take things. Supposedly it’s common knowledge that the US loses every Pentagon simulation of a U.S.-China war. Likewise, Pissrael is in really bad shape with their two front war, and is well aware that Iran could wreck their shit (hence their lackluster attack on Iran a few weeks back.)
Good point here btw - one thing about the war is regime propaganda is objectively bullshit. You can lie about polls, crime and economic data and have 50%+ of NPCs lap it up, but you can’t deny that the Russians control Ugledar
Sorry goy, you don't get to forget about the Hatians running over people on your street or the five year old trannies at the local kindergarten, we're gonna stick obese mystery meat wahmen in our broken, overpriced goyslop vidya. They won't even leave the DnD nerds alone for Christ's sake.
@TrevorGoodchild@plotinus_enjoyer@InvictusManeo@sickburnbro@KarlDahl Supposedly the reason Carthage lost the Second Punic War is because the Carthaginian government denied Hannibal reinforcements in Italy. The reasons being they cared more about Spain (where the ruling class controlled lucrative silver mines) and because having Hannibal win the war would basically propel the populist Barca family into the drivers seat of national politics, and they couldn’t have that.
Considering how the Punic Wars ended, maybe the biggest own goal in history.
@sickburnbro@gav@AidanTTIerian one of the biggest untold stories of the 20th century is how the tribe gradually lost control of the USSR from the end of WWII to about 1970 or so
