There is the micro of it β just like Pete Rose shouldn't be allowed to bet on a baseball game the outcome over which he has significant control, the cavorting satyrs inside Mar-A-Lago whispering sweet war-things in the president's ear should not have access to an essentially unregulated market that lets them cash in on which of those whisperings turns into a fucking Predator drone strike to Tehran β and there's the macro of it, the depravity inherent to a country where betting on foreign regime change and "Jeffrey Epstein confirmed to be alive before 2027?" (I am not kidding, and also still not linking) and the influenza hospitalization rate for next week (seriously, these are real) just kind of sitting out there, unregulated, untended, unaddressed, un-nuked-from-orbit.
I didn't even get into Giannis or Substack partnerships, there's almost too much depravity here

02.03.2026 16:25 β π 40 π 4 π¬ 2 π 0This is only one of many examples. There is a style, cadence, and word choice to DoD press releases in this somehow-still-young administration that provide a fascinating, if largely uncomplicated glimpse at the type of limited, childish ghouls currently in charge of the worldβs largest military. There are warriors and warfighters everywhere; there is lethality, and force, and strength; there is a sneering dismissiveness of anything else the sprawling military apparatus engages in besides pointing guns at people and shooting them. The releases are the way a Fox News Pentagon talks, what they assume Secretary of Defense John Wayne would sound like.
This isnβt, of course, purely an exercise in misdirected machismo in language. Mixed in with the presidentβs clear imperial and expansionist goals, the fact that the DoD brass talk like someone likely to pull a gun on anyone who knocks on the door is a huge βwarfightingβ alarm bell. They donβt want the US military to be some big peacekeeping force that builds dams and shakes hands with locals; they want to invade β somewhere, anywhere β and blow shit up.
I wrote this about him and the new DoD almost a year ago
"They want to invade β somewhere, anywhere β and blow shit up."

Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.
