        It’s only gone this long without tariffs because it’s not on google maps.

          Trump probably: “If my name can’t be put on the moon, no one can have the moon!”

    You know, we created a treaty decades ago to ensure that space has no business “serving US interests.”

    Hear me out on this one. Maybe, just maybe ‘forever war’ is not in the best interest of humankind. And maybe those that advocate for endless wars should be removed from power and prosecuted.

          You know how long it takes the moon to go from new to full or full to new? Just about two weeks. One fortnight.

    Who the fuck are they going to fight?

    I’m pretty sure there aren’t a lot of other people up there. The few that are have a lot of friends here in Earth that are going to be super fucking pissed.

    Also, to what end?

    Finally, a front with no home advantage, and none of those pesky “strategic victory” conditions. Pure ballistics and machinery porn, just as God intended warfare to always be about.
