Then why is the department of war involved?

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 13 hours ago

Exactly. Trump called it "small potatoes," so I'm thinking Department of Agriculture is in charge. At least it's out of Hegseth's hands. He's an idiot by MAGA standards.

Oh, it's a special military operation!

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

More like special moron operation.

We wasted so much money on this stupid shit

[-] obvs@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

[-] liquorice@lemmy.world -1 points 13 hours ago

Same with Ukraine. Just dumb

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

Better than Healthcare though, right?

Yes stab the people fighting your wars in the back. That will not backfire at all.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Well that guy isn't fighting anymore

[-] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 16 hours ago

But...they do call it a war...

By that definition so many wars would have been wars. Like ww2

[-] Seppo@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

Nothing is a war anymore. War has too many regulations and stigma.

It was just an Excursion! You don't expect to get paid for an Excursion, do you?

Why create new news community? I'm tired of getting banned by crazy lemmy moderators under made up reasons for posting news articles (likely reddit subversive operation).
Also most of news communities are empty - this one will be full of content.
So i'm now creating my own community. everyone welcome, let's tear reddit down together.
