      Imperial war ministry of bad country just announced a cruel purge of its military command. One of every five senior officers is to be cut (it’s twice worse than traditional decimation penalty). Trustworthy sources report that it will be 1000 cuts per person.

    hegseth and trump have done more to weaken US hegemony than any administration in decades. the geopolitical landscape of the coming decades is going to be very different than what it would have been if biden was elected. and the technology scene is already changing drastically, which is fantastic considering the unquestionably iron grip silicon valley has held for years.

    if you had told moth even a year ago that foreign governments would be switching from Windows to NixOS to get away from Microsoft because they feared the US government, moth would not have believed you.

    This kinda shit is more likely to catalyze nuclear Armageddon than anything else, purging leadership with all their experience, connections, and knowledge will lead to bad decisions and the US military, while usually at the helm of many many bad decisions, has yet to make the absolute worst one they could make and doom us all.

    I believe China has been going about turnover in their military brass as well, I may be wrong and hope I am, because that coupled with this bullshit in the article is a recipe for disaster.
