Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The investigation will then result in jailing few middle-grade people from MIC and military and everthing will be back to ~~even bigger scandal with new ICBM project~~ normal
And the Cold War 2.0 is on the horizon. This time surely featuring Russia and China. And somewhere in hell there will be endless laughter booming all the time. It'll be from Reagan and his cronies once they hear about Star Wars 2.0. Imagine how much that tech will cost.
I would argue we never even left the first Cold War, we only had a slight thawing for some time, but now we are again in it co,mpletely with proxy wars, (modified) red scare, yellow peril and even iron curtain is again visible. Even Star Wars is back, but as a farce. Space Farce.
I know that will have insane cost overruns. But I meant an actual, nonsense system of "gee-whiz-bang" laser (etc) tech that will never work because having it work was a big lie to begin with. This project would be at least a multi-trillion dollar intentional boondoggle created to routinely suck up ginormous amounts of cash. Star Wars 1.0 was designed that way but it never actually - cough - got off the ground.
Exactly. Also China already managed to humiliate them greatly with the magnetic cannon, and will even more in the future.
