In retrospect, the clues were there when the guy with a crusader version of the american history x tattoo changed the name of the department of defense

@hannah the only guy who can stop the bad guy with an american history x tattoo is a good guy with a recently covered up american history x tattoo

Anyway, sounds like things are going great

@hannah this is just the mr neutron sketch

[slyence@mastodo.neoliber.al]

@hannah they're thinking about providing weapons to ethnic militias that oppose the IRI

btw these groups all fucking hate each other and want to carve out their own ethno-states (& cleanse the lands of the "impure")

so yeah things are probably going to get a lot worse and I hope yarup is ready to receive another 10-20 million refugees

@hannah A "strikingly blunt answer" has a markedly different meaning in my head than it does in whatever universe the person who wrote that paragraph happens to live in.

@hannah how long until he bombs the white house situation room because he ran out of other targets

[hannah@posts.rat.pictures]

@zalasur nytimes house style is basically imagine how frasier crane would say it

@hannah Oops. Accidentally assassinated the puppet regime.

@hannah This is a new high bar for "I honestly can't believe this is real news."

I'm not being hyperbolic here.

[tekhedd@byteheaven.net]

@hannah Reading the recent Atlantic article on the re-militarization of Germany, and thinking about how the US is treating its allies, and now I have visions of a possible scenario[*] where the US invades Germany but this time they are defending themselves against, well, you know...

It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't awful, but it's pretty awful.

@tekhedd @hannah

How can US troops invade Germany when they are already there?
And no, I don't think fighting between US and Germany is in any way likely.

[fallsmom@mastodon.coffee]

@hannah

I suggest JD.

[tekhedd@byteheaven.net]

@Mab_813 @hannah No, you're right. I'd like to believe that at least *this* scenario is still impossible, if no longer literally "unthinkable".

Is it good when the Illinois Retail Merchants Association is emailing me maps of the Strait of Hormuz
