    This is pretty funny although some minor criticisms are

    1. Bosnia should have a little sliver of coast in California including San Francisco to represent the town of Neum, while the Golden Gate Bridge is the Pelješac Bridge connecting the southern bit of Croatia.

    2. Montenegro should have some coast

    3. Serbia should include Milwaukee because of the phrase 'Srbija do Tokija preko Milvokija' (Serbia to Tokyo via Milwaukee), which was used during the wars in the 90s.

    Sincerely, a dude from the Balkans



  • I wouldn't call it 5d Hyprechess just because they're saying it's not theirs, it's just basic plausible deniability both for domestic and foreign consumption. Basically, on the home front you get more money for the military, as well as having the shitmunchers on board for it in addition to seeing the military/air force/space force (who need to justify their existence now that Trump is gone) as badasses fighting aliens.

    As for why they aren't demonstrating stuff, it's simply a case of not revealing too much about whatever their potential capabilities are to other countries. Historically, at least in the US, secret, state of the art equipment hasn't been revealed, but was kept secret until it had been in use for a long time (see the U2 spyplane, the B117, the B2...).

    I'm not discounting aliens, and honestly I'd much rather it were aliens than Cold War 2 Electric Boogaloo, but I fear it's the latter.

    Not really. It's much more likely that the US is releasing this stuff to say to others 'we have these super capable drones', and now China is doing the same in response. So not so much a combined psyop, but one in response to the other.




  • 'Real emo only consists of the DC emotional hardcore scene and the late 90s screamo scene' and all that...

    Honestly, as someone who is into 'Real emo' (tm), I enjoy the shit out of MCR, especially Bullets and Three Cheers purely because they are incredibly fun and campy. In what is a kinda controversial opinion, I'd much rather listen to MCR (as well as consider them closer to real emo) than a lot of the current crop of Midwest emo bands that are just whiny vocals over twinkly, weird time signature, guitar parts.
