I'd like to caution against percieving the grass as being greener.

The US is being a shitbird, but do not let that cloud criticism of other countries- their governments are (usually) rarely better.

And nobody treats turncoats particularly well, especially if they don't offer concrete and immediate value beyond 'hostage'.

Far better to agitate where you're at- help your neighbors where and how you can and demonstrate how they're being lied to.

While they do explode, getting them to do so on the target would be the challenge. I suppose just dropping the vehicles as is would do some damage too.

Musk is the CEO of the United Corporations of America and Trump is the Chairman of the board.

u/finder585@lemmy.world · 0 points

I agree with you.

The question is if it will be to far gone at that point.

I do think that the rest of the US is not that far gone. Even if the Trump fandom is a lost cause.

u/LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 2 points

Maybe, but not many people in the U.S. think attacking Canada or the U.K. something they wanted to do pre-trump. So hopefully they'll be some sense. Every non-white person in the U.S. still hasn't absorbed the information that Trump removed the restrictions on segregation for bathrooms/resteraunts/water fountains for all U.S. contractors. The amount of interracial families that should start picking up that the racism is real should hopefully start accelerating at some point. The question is if it will be to far gone at that point.

attacking the U.S. in ways that will economically starve the country until 10-15% of the voters realize this has all been idiocy and drag those responsible out of office and ban all responsible ever holding a public office again.

Wishful thinking.

These bastards are spin masters that have conditioned their fandom to automatically assume all bad things are the fault of DeMoCraTeS, Woke-isms and foreigners. The mere thought that "their guy" could harm them is nearly impossible to comprehend. The people most responsible for such a disaster will thrive in the chaos they cause.

This timeline fuck'n sucks.

Well attempting to annex Canada or Greenland automatically enacts Article 5 of NATO so 31 countries should in theory fight back. 29 of them would likely assist in their defense, and by defense I mean attacking the U.S. in ways that will economically starve the country until 10-15% of the voters realize this has all been idiocy and drag those responsible out of office and ban all responsible ever holding a public office again. Then we would have lost all trade allies and spend 100 years building back respect. Media will slowly start bringing their heinousness to light and slowly the vast majority will deny they were ever a part of it out of shame

Starlink is gonna get phased out, guaranteed in Europe at least, as people learn they can't trust it. And I do believe SpaceX stuff keeps blowing up.

u/ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world · 3 points

Yeah, ever see that picture of the outline of a kamikaze plane burnt onto the side of an otherwise intact destroyer?

u/ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world · 1 points

Luckily I don't think Tesla-made tanks, jets and rifles will put up much of a fight on the battlefield.

u/Canadian_anarchist@lemmy.ca · 1 points

Maybe not WW3, but more like American War* 2. China will finally get an opportunity to update it's Museum of American Aggression** displays.

*American War is how many Asian nations refer to the Korean War/Vietnam War

** https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_of_the_War_to_Resist_US_Aggression_and_Aid_Korea; when I visited it in 2014 it was the name I previously mentioned - it was interesting to say the least. Mostly some weird propaganda and left behind military equipment.

u/seeigel@feddit.org · 2 points

Or Eastrussia. It's a continuous territory if Canada is also included. Which could explain the desire for Canada as the 51th state.

u/Airowird@lemm.ee · 2 points

Just call it Naziland

Or "the uNaziland of America" if you want a hybrid reference

u/SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one · 5 points

The States haven't been united for a while now.

The Nazi Reigime in Northern Mexico/Southern Canada is my convoluted suggestion.

u/oppy1984@lemm.ee · 13 points

Agreed, in my early 20's I applied for a job with the TSA. After passing the interview I had to take a test to determine if I was fit for the job, before I could take the test I had to be cleared for confidential clearance. So even though I didn't pass the test, and didn't get the job, I had a low level government clearance and an NDA that kept me from disclosing what I saw.

Funny enough that clearance did come in handy when I had to get an FBI background check to work at the airport doing line service, the guy who did the paperwork was shocked at how fast my paperwork was given the all clear.

u/yoshman@lemmy.world · 2 points

Not necessarily. Their are directors at my work that don't have any clearances.

u/Feelfold@lemm.ee · 12 points

I wonder what Trump will do if Elon dies and he has to take over.

u/Crashumbc@lemmy.world · 37 points

Dictatorships don't need such things, and Elon is the heir apparent to Trump...

u/tal@lemmy.today · 17 points

According to Musk's Twitter account, he has a top secret clearance and apparently some sort of compartmentalized clearances.

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1890282404897534089

I’ve had a top secret clearance for many years and have clearances that themselves are classified.

>That said, FAR too much information is made “classified”. If something is easily found online or patently obvious, it should NOT be classified. This impedes effective communication within the government.

u/Mojave@lemmy.world · 8 points

It has likely changed since I last checked before his presidency, but he had a Top Secret Clearance with **NO** SCI.

I knew he had admitted to actively using drugs a few times and I wondered how he held an active security clearance. What I could find was essentially: SpaceX was the best option for the US government to conduct satellite-based intelligence missions, as in launch satellites into orbit for the purpose of Space Force related surveillance.

To that end they waived *a lot* of sketchy shit on Elon's background to give him a TS so he could primarily attend and give briefings, but no SCI as he didn't actually do any work requiring it.

Source: I wish I could fucking find any now, but there's a flood of thousands of article talking about his security clearance as a presidential advisor now.

u/turtl@lemm.ee · 5 points

He's probably had a security clearance for a while now due to his involvement in space x

u/BastingChemina@slrpnk.net · 3 points

He has some level of clearance due to the work SpaceX is done but even there, he does not have access to some of SpaceX program because he could not get the right level of clearance

u/CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al · 8 points

I know it's just awful. If it was a tv show it would be seen as unrealistic but its actually happening.

u/v3ritas@infosec.pub · 67 points

I feel like i repeat this to myself 20 times a day. I can’t stand this administration.

u/RainbowHedgehog@lemm.ee · 27 points

Trump was trying to get China to attack to initiate martial law in 2021. He’s probably trying to start a war to initiate martial law now.

u/finitebanjo@lemmy.world · 1 points

My guess is to rile up his base into supporting his shenanigans while he makes himself forever-godking.

He won't actually fight China, or if he does he won't do it seriously. Trump constantly swoons over Xi Jinping and works closely with Vladimir Putin which China has close ties with like threads in a tapestry. I simply do not believe Trump's words.

u/sleezer@lemmy.world · 35 points

We have deranged psychopaths in charge of the US. We really are going to have WW3 soon aren't we

u/frazw@lemmy.world · 20 points

He's not holding any cards right now. Trump made him a tough guy. He's gambling with World War 3.

Wait, sounds.... Nah forget it.

u/prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 15 points

Did I miss the part where this piece of shit was vetted and granted security clearance? This is out of hand. Why does this man have access to literally *anything* that I don't within my fucking government?

u/Tattorack@lemmy.world · 15 points

"You're gambling with World War Three!" yelled Trump to his guest, the president of Ukraine, without any sign of irony.

u/trslim@pawb.social · 11 points

Lol my dad said trump was the best choice for avoiding ww3. Lmao even.

u/finitebanjo@lemmy.world · 7 points

Complete Bluff.

Unless the plan is to literally give away US Territory to China this will never happen.

Xi Jinping, Putin, and Trump are all on the same wavelength, cut from the same cloth, birds of a feather.

u/tane@lemm.ee · 6 points

If war with China happens I am 100% defecting to China lol. I have absolutely zero love or respect for my shithole country.

u/David0384@lemmy.wtf · 1 points

Elon Musk is reportedly set to gain access to top-secret U.S. military plans concerning a potential conflict with China. As the CEO of SpaceX, which provides critical satellite and defense technologies, Musk's involvement raises concerns about national security and geopolitical strategy. The Pentagon may rely on his Starlink satellite network for secure military communications, making his access to such classified information a significant issue. Given Musk’s global business interests, including ties with China, policymakers are debating the risks and benefits of his inclusion in these discussions.

While Musk’s technological contributions are undeniable, granting him access to classified military plans could spark controversy. Critics argue that his business ventures, spanning Tesla’s Chinese factories and international projects, create potential conflicts of interest. Supporters, however, believe his expertise in AI, aerospace, and communication technology is crucial for U.S. military preparedness. As global tensions rise, securing reliable tech partnerships is essential—but unlike bombitup, which is used for unethical spam, defense strategies must be handled responsibly to avoid unintended consequences.
