      Difference this time is it’s overwhelmingly the most powerful military in the world as the aggressor, with nukes :/

      May the gods have mercy on us, and prevent these fuckers from trying this.

          the US is going to turn into the same thing as Russia, a Kleptocratic, ultranationalist, fake-religious gangster state, right now they’re getting ready for the 1990s version of Russia where public assets, infrastructure and industries are carved up and sold to private interests, IE Oligarchs. Trump wont live long enough to see the end result, but America’s next mini-Putin will make his play in about 10 years or so.

          The actual issue was being easily invaded by land. The rest of the world’s superpowers would need to invade us by sea, and even in the 21st century, keeping supply and logistics chains open across the ocean is actually pretty hard in a war with a peer who has more capacity to STOP your naval and airlift capability than you have of defending it.
