Someone told the orange one, that the Moon controls the tides.

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

    Hear me out on this one. Maybe, just maybe 'forever war' is not in the best interest of humankind. And maybe those that advocate for endless wars should be removed from power and prosecuted.

    I’d be more surprised if he didn’t given his level of stupidity

    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]

    I really don't think the Mooninites will see it coming, so war should be over in a week or two. I'm willing to back a nuclear bombardment of the Moon, if it will ensure that I can still watch football this weekend.

    Thinking about it, America can win a war on the Moon:

    Specifically, America can win a war against the Moon by default when no Mooninites turn up to fight against them.

    Then again, under the current leadership the American military would still have casualties in a war against the Moon were no Mooninites show up to fight them, purelly because of their own incompetence: I mean, if they can't even keep a ship properly supplied a few thousands of kilometers away from America in an environment which isn't even inherently that dangerous, they'll probably do much worse when the soldiers are 385,000 km away from America in a highly hostile environment.

    We should strap all the oligarchs to a rocket and let them fight it out on the moon.

    Who the fuck are they going to fight?

    I’m pretty sure there aren’t a lot of other people up there. The few that are have a lot of friends here in Earth that are going to be super fucking pissed.

    Also, to what end?

    But I thought Trump was the peace president? Who would the peace president want to wage war on the moon?

    Finally, a front with no home advantage, and none of those pesky "strategic victory" conditions. Pure ballistics and machinery porn, just as God intended warfare to always be about.

    Yes, let's bring our petty bickering off this planet, what a novel idea!

    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.
