I'm pretty sure the amount the money spent on offensive actions is significantly less than the defense

When was America last invaded by a foreign adversary?

This resembles anti-vax logic. We haven’t been invaded because our military maintains a strong deterrence and strategic depth.

Yeah, otherwise the USA would have been invaded by Cuba, Iraq, Vietnam, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen and a hundred more, and they all would have a fight over who can have it. Thank god the US defended themselves against those terrible guys. Especially the WMDs were quite the close call, the Iraqis were minutes away from nuking the land of the mart.

Cuba's an odd rhetorical choice given https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis

Dude so like, one time some guy did that and like the entire thing just blew up bro. Seriously knockered.

Hydrogen airships are unfairly demonized. Airplanes burn and blow up, too - we've just learned over time how to minimize that risk.

I'm not gonna do anything, and passively throw my hands up and let the world end, because eh, wcyd amirite bros? unlucky!


Do you have any suggestions?


How would you feel if an AI hallucinated and fired you from your job?


I would feel that I must not have been documenting my value as good as I could have been and would try and do so better at my next job.


That's genuinely insane but you're entitled to your opinion.


Lol I didn't even connect the dots together until this comment. For a dickhead rich memelord this one is at least somewhat clever.


It's his favourite joke, see Space Sex.


Megaman battle network was way ahead of itself. It even predicted that all of the IOT devices would be full of viruses!


They'd better make sure there are no conspicuously placed yellow vans a either, least they explode.


Absolutely destroyed me
