    What in the everloving fuck?! What’s ONE hypothetical scenario where border gestapo needs to know how to operate a goddamned mortar? Just one.

    What’s next, surface to air missile training? Tactical nuclear weaponry 101? Practice in using long range howitzers? This really is the stupidest and most cruel timeline, holy hell…

      Well fucking update I guess from my reply about drones less than 24 hrs ago. It looks like the u.s. just committed a war crime with a drone in the fucking Caribbean

      they seem really spooked about drone warfare at the border and drone attacks in general. Probably one of those things like “well we’re already doing this to everyone else, why wouldn’t they do it to us?”

      Tuesday’s strike appeared to be conducted by a Reaper attack drone, possibly by U.S. forces in Puerto Rico.

      The agencies of state repression such as law enforcement and military are actively at war with the citizens.

      A hypothetical?

      Continued acceleration of climate change leads to more arid biomes and a decrease in viable farmland, leading to mass starvation and mass migration.

      U.S. policy “addresses” the problem through militarization of the border, use of concentration camps, ethnic cleansing, disappearing political undesirables, and genocide.

      I mean I think this is a dumb solution, but they seem really spooked about drone warfare at the border and drone attacks in general.

      Probably one of those things like “well we’re already doing this to everyone else, why wouldn’t they do it to us?”

      The most likely is for America to attack Mexico, Panama or a few other countries, not them taking the fight to the USA. But it does fit in the strategy of make everyone scared of every country in the South. Scared people don’t vote rationally.

    That’s like sending a delivery boy to a 5 star chef school, what a colossal waste of funding.

    Those will be pointed north of the border, I expect. The greatest threat to fascism is native opposition, so Dogey America will murder anyone who dares to get in the way. It won’t be surprising if fire departments, hospitals, empathetic churches, and other “woke” elements of society are besieged.

    After all, the federal government arrested a pair of fire fighters who were actively fighting fires. The Regime values the spilled blood of others above morality and pragmatism.

    The Mexican military is faily corrupt and occasionally sends tanks over to guard large drug shipments. I imagine mortars would make them think twice.

      I’m sorry but I genuinely can’t tell if you’re joking or not. I imagine you are, but there are too many crazies out there to be sure.
