Mattis is talking about how this was a one time thing.

Trump talked about it like we're going to do this like nightly until....something...changes.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're just going to let trump claim it's some long reaching campaign while in actuality they're going to get the gently caress out of dodge as soon as possible.

Yeah, I'm getting the impression this was fairly limited and closer to what Mattis wanted.

Aren’t B-1 way faster because of swing wing?

Faster than a B-52? Yes, very much so. But if nobody can shoot back, the B-52 is cheaper to operate and hauls more ordinance.

There's a reason Carter tried to cancel them.

If Trump thinks this is going to distract from the Cohen saga, he's wrong. Middle East hellwar is barely a blip on the radar next to palace intrigue out of Washington.

The US. Russian troops fired some shells at the US forces and the US retaliated and killed a couple hundred Russian troops.

I've thought about this a lot. Now, there's obviously multiple sockpoppet armies operated by a diverse set of troll farms. There's been a strong alliance of various accelerationist ideologiest, across national boundaries. Trump's win was clearly engineered exploiting this new tech. If Trump's hanging on to 40% with the thing churning in his favor, suppose the thing swings full 180 on him? Suppose even a chunk of those sockpuppets suddenly went turncoat?

That 40% would drop quick.

And if Putin (ultimately) controls some chunk of these accounts, and if his goal is to cause instability and division over here...

Ok so this is stupid paranoid bullshit, but it's a stupid bullshit world. Trump and Putin talk a lot. We really only find out about it if Russia let's us know. And there's nothing we can do about it. Is it at all possible that Putin is ok with this because it keeps Trump up and running for a few more days. Yeah he's mad in public, but really he doesn't care. Trump fucks things up more in America and Putin is out almost nothing.
