      Usually I mock posts that see America doing the things America has always done and going “what are we a bunch of <slavs/chinese/third world nation>”, but usually America is good at lying.

    It’s a lot faster to put in video game footage than it is to get some B-roll from the military and get it declassified.

    Not that this administration cares about rules tbh.

    Call of Duty. One of Epstein’s favorites. He even helped bobby kotick name CoD Points so they could use the abbreviation CP

        Bobby Kotick was very good friends with Epstein. Just search for both of their names together. Epstein also pushed microtransactions.

        I don’t remember anything about the cp stuff but there is a very interesting Behind the Bastards podcast about epstein and many of his evils beyond child sex trafficking. Talks about Kotick a lot https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/

    Leveraging one of their biggest recruitment tools as additional propaganda? Say it isn’t so. Well luckily, it’s not like CoD is actually on the government payroll, so of course a cease and desist will be following shortly… right?

    Real or not. Iran, Khamenei, Venezuela, Maduro, kindergaten girls etc are not the actual targets of our military operations. The main course is Vladimir Putin. If you watch the chain of events closely, this is exactly what you do when you have to take down Vladimir Putin.

      China, not Russia.

      China got most of their oil from Venezuela and Iran. If they want any in the future they’ll have to play nicer with Trump, and promise not to take Taiwan.

    It is real but probably not what people think. They’re not exactly hiding the fact that they’re using footage from a game.

      Its not about them trying to pass video game footage as real. Them leaning into the video game esthetic is the problem. Its glorifying war, death, and destruction. Its also intentionally appealing to military aged boys/men. Its a sleezy recruitment video

        I don’t disagree but my point was that usually with news like this it’s someone trying to slip in video game footage as real to potray their military more capable than it really is or to claim that something was hit when it actually wasn’t. I think it’s safe to assume that this is what most people imagine happened here too but this is different. It’s just a PSA - I’m not defending what they’re doing.
