    I met someone today who told me the fires in Hawaii were caused by a giant laser.

        I feel like they like space lasers a lot recently. Give the tendency of the right to project should we be perhaps a little concerned about what all the private space companies might be up to at the moment?

          this is why space force was started, to funnel public money to giant space laser contractors

      Isn’t that the old KKK line about the Rotschilds having a space laser under their control? I seem to remember MTG getting in trouble for refering to it, and the WTYP folks having a laugh in their news section.

    Helping people by utilizing the most highly funded military in the world is weakening it. We can’t do good things with those resources. How else will we project our might wherever we want?

      I remember these liberals used to make the excuse that the US Navy also does humanitarian work, in particular disaster relief. Wonder what happened to that? Guess it’s no coincidence they’ve got 2 hospital ships and 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers

    You don’t think we care about Hawaii, huh? Then explain how a native of Honolulu got elected president. Next thing you’ll tell me this country has a racism problem, to which I will again point to Obama.

    You know what country never elected Obama? Racist China. The very racist Chinese are trying to take Obama’s homeland because they hate your faded bumper sticker from 2008.

      also similar normal ones are had any time china bails a country out of IMF debt to the USA by giving them a 0% interest loan (and subsequently forgiving it)

      I think this might be seen as exporting revolution, and especially in the case of Japan they are really more invested in doing what they can to pry Japan in general a little bit away from the imperial core (good luck).
