Genuinely thought provoking big brain take, especially the last one- that the most 'Russia strong!, I see through all of NATO's lies!' people might have fallen the hardest for NATO propaganda.
-
@didymus He's being serious, the idea being that if NATO exists in Europe purely to oppose Russia then what purpose in Europe would it have without Russia?

@GoodBoyUV @didymus >nato exists purely too oppose russia
Lmao no nato exists explicitly to ensure germany and europe will never not be under the thumb of the united states. The biggest lie told about nato is that its a defensive pact against russia. Its the american empire and nato has never fought a single defensive war while only ever engaging in offensive wars. It still occupies germany and limits their allowed military power. If russia went away tommorow theyd find a new target for imperial expansion. What the fuck does iraq have to do with opposing russia? Nothing at all. Didnt stop nato from bombing the fuck out of them.

"Bleppsama talks about this"

@GoodBoyUV he is saying that dismantling russia will end nato? is he making a joke?
-
We thought we had NATO in check but then they come out of the 4th dimension with a checkmate we never saw coming. Fuck.

@CatLord @GoodBoyUV I'm not denying that; America's Army (the video game) was explicitly made as a recruitment tool. I'm denying Pentagon ordering Infinity Ward (or whoever) to write the plot of MW2 a certain way.

@CatLord @GoodBoyUV The unexpected has happened, a secret third thing, the MW writers are dictating DoD mission.

@GoodBoyUV Executive Summary: Wrong. No organization has EVER willingly given up power, this is bureaucracy 101.
The premise is sound, but the conclusion is wrong. Yes psyops are used to justify organizational existence; to prop up a weak enemy as an existential threat to receive funding and when it's inevitably defeated receive recognition and appreciation. They also instill a (false) sense of power in the enemy being propped up, making them think they're more than they actually are. I rolled my eyes when the media was pumping up Soleimani as a master tactician and capable fighter, knowing he wasn't any of that. That the US could taken him out whenever it wished; and the US did so, it turned him into mincemeat.
But the assumption that once an Russia is defeated NATO will dissolve is just wrong. No organization has EVER willingly given up power, this is bureaucracy 101. If NATO's goal was to counter Warsaw Pact, it would've dissolved after the fall of Soviet Union. It could've invited Russia in alongside the former Soviet republics, but it didn't (not arguing whether this was good or desirable). So once Russia is defeated, it will shift focus to China, then Iran, then North Korea, then the next country and so on. Its purpose is to provide peace for the US led bloc. Look at US military, after the fall of soviet union it didn't relinquish any of its global holdings and shifted its focus on some other mission.
This same line of reasoning could be used to say "give the jews everything they want, once they've secured their final victory they will have no reason to continue fighting, and at that point we can counter-attack."
I'm not even going to touch the MW2 tweet, it's literal Q predictive programing nonsense.

@marlin @GoodBoyUV The "American military style video games being propaganda for ZOG/USA" is 100% true though his interpretation might be a bit wrong. This article touches on some of it:
