You ever wonder why some conservatives are fans of Putin? He culturally aligned with their values and is solidly behind them in the culture wars...

The below vid practically says it all. Putin's complaints are the complaints of many conservatives. Add into it the fact that some (myself included) see that the war in Ukraine could have easily been avoided and you have a weird mixture of disdain and support happening all at once.

Battles Lost by US Marines

This war is not popular among the US public

 

A quick ask to Berger, the SMMC & the rest of the FD2030 believers...

 This is a quick ask...damn near a beg to Berger, the SMMC & the rest of the FD2030 believers.

Take a fucking beat.

Clear your fucking heads.

EXPLAIN YOUR THINKING, YOUR PLANNING AND EXPLAIN THIS THING!

The messaging from day one has been pathetic.  The war cry from your side has been that this will keep the Marine Corps relevant. It appears to be a false promise bordering on an outright lie.

You guys have been so focused on pushing this thing thru that you failed to consider if your planning wouldn't be outrun by tech and current events.

You failed from the start to get buy in from the tribe and only focused on a few people inside your circle to reinforce the "rightness" of your thinking and have tried to silence all that spoke against you.

You mocked and ridiculed storied members of our Corps.  Not retired Senior Enlisted and Officers but Generals that are big time plank owners in this organization.

No one understands it and apparently you guys can't explain it.

Everyone on the outside looking in only see combat power fading rapidly, the Marine Corps being turned into WW2 Coast Watchers and at the same time the fiction that the Marine Corps will still be a crisis response force is being pushed down throats.

YOU HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER!

Explain it.  Not for our sake but for yours!

Does life every reach a point of mere existence? Is there a point where living no longer makes sense?

This is listed on Twitter under the page "Oddly Terrifying". Does this qualify? At this point is this Buddhist monk suffering instead of living? Has this reached a point where its now inhumane? I almost sense that he's become an oddity instead of living person. I just don't know. What do ya'll think?
