    Ah, yes, the military that famously can’t even keep strategically important Straits open down on Earth will be able to win wars around the Moon.

      Worse, they’re just quoting an appointed stooge without pointing out the bias.

      Speaking at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump said he had met Caine in Iraq in December 2018.[26] According to Trump, Caine told him, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.”[14] Allegedly, he claimed that ISIS could be defeated in a week.[14] Trump also said that Caine was wearing a MAGA hat at the time, a detail denied by Caine.[27]

        “Yeah I said I love him, I think he’s great, I’d let him fuck me and I’d kill for him, but I absolutely WAS NOT wearing a maga hat!!” - Ok dude

    You know, we created a treaty decades ago to ensure that space has no business “serving US interests.”

    Lol.

    From “we will bring down prices and drain the swamp” to “we must fight for the moon”.

    I mean I’ve known my entire adult life that fascism is uniquely stupid, but goddamn.
