How a Top Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart

How a Top Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart​

The 2019 operation, greenlit by President Trump, sought a strategic edge. It left unarmed North Koreans dead.


There's a lot more in the link, but:

TL/DR: In 2019, Schitler sent top-secret Navy Seals mission to plant listening device in North Korea. Mission failed, NK people killed. Could have been a much biger disaster.

Of course it failed, they refused to lead Agent IQ007 Dump go in as team leader.
 
Thre name change for Defense will cost hundreds of Milliond of dollars, and is a PR disaster for what little image the US has left.
I cannot see how the US suvives three more years of a clearly demented man in the White House. More and more I am convinced we will see wide dpread political violence in the US.
 
Actuallty Trump obssesion with rebranding is why a in the business world, making somebody whose whole background is Marketing or PR the CEO is a big no no.
 
Trump the FBI source exposing Epstein

I was positive there was NO WAY people would be dumb enough to fall for the most recent ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ about Trump being an “asset” with the Epstein files, even though he repeatedly claimed it was all a hoax, but I guess I was wrong. They’re really eatin’ it up, y’all. Our country is ◊◊◊◊◊◊.

see moonlightmel there...she brings in transgenders too
 
It's at least *somewhat* plausible that Trump was an FBI informant on Epstein. He obviously would not volunteer any personal info out of the goodness of his heart, but if he himself was at risk of being implicated, he could offer a lot of inside info to investigators that would enable them to fully prove Epstein's guilt, in return for immunity. That would have been a deal done involving just a handful of people with complete confidentiality. Trump is fond of deals, after all. It would certainly explain his reluctance for full release of the files, because in them he would be named as an informant, not as a possible co-conspirator. (and obviously he would be a redacted name on the list) But if was revealed that he was an informant, then that begs the question of what he knew and how he knew it. Trump obviously would not want that can of worms opened.

Democracy - successful democracy - is utterly dependant on enough voters taking the time to properly inform themselves about the people and policies they are voting for. For whatever reason, in more and more countries in the world, voters are choosing not to do that work, but to instead happily and mindlessly swallow whichever lies most appeal to their prejudices. They are thereby allowing themselves to be manipulated into electing fascists. That's when democracy fails.



What matters more is whether the voters who democratically elected him wanted him to act as a traditional president or as an absolute monarch. So far I see little evidence that they have any problem with his actions.

That's harsh. We are in a new wave of far-right populism gaining votes, and the climate crisis is, well, a crisis, but we'll solve the latter and survive the former. Eventually we'll all look like Brazillians anway, and there will be nothing left for racists to argue over. Sure, they'll find some other minority group to use as scapegoats (although both trans and gay people will probably be normalized enough by then that it won't be them, but they'll come up with something).

Other than that, in countless ways we're doing way better than only 50-100 years ago. Certain history lessons in I'm Starting to Worry About the Black Box of Doom drove that home for me. Humanity is in for some hard times, but in the long run we'll be fine.

I also have to comment that the opinion you are speakking about is a wonderful excuse for sitting on your butt and doing nothing about a critical situation.
Frankly, a lot of comments like the one being discussed are posturing, more then anything else. Being as gloomy and pessimistic as possible is consiered to be cool and sophisticated in certain circles, indluding, sad to say, with people who should really know better. We have more examples of this then I really like on this site.
Wiered thing is, I am consisered my many of my friends to be cynical as hell.
