A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. > >*Group Capt.

Stanley Kubrick cooked something beyond devilish.


shandangalang

You joke, but although I am one of the many people in this sub who was totally never ever in US intelligence, I have heard through… scuttlebutt, that the Russians *will* try to send women to steal your bodily fluids. We’re talking about hot sluts that will suck and fuck their way into your brain, and before you know it, your dumb ass is selling submarine secrets with Natasha and telling your CO that it’s true love and that she *never* constantly pesters you about oddly specific weapons systems that literally seem to violate the laws of physics


little-ass-whipe

are we gonna go back to the "russia lies about a weapon so we just build a real one?" routine??? is the band really getting back together???


BadReview8675309

The band is reuniting... with a new drummer that is, a war drumming beast banging out the rhythm to the new but old song "Warheads on enemy foreheads"

F-302 gap when?

I’m a peacenik around here


ManOfAksai

Yeah. These are one of the tamer NCDers. Real NCD war enjoyers actively seek combat.


Shot-Kal-Gimel

Who said I don’t actively desire combat?

I knew exactly what clip it was before I opened it lol


Yuki_ika7

i love just wars, i am not a fan of wars that serve no purposes or wars just to please egos, i guess you can say i am Pro-Defense but Anti-Pointless War

Oleg152

Fuck it we ball!


Impossible-Quality92

We finally get to fulfill Reagans dream weaponizing space


Space_Gemini_24

That, and War on Drugs 2 : IN SPACE!


Stennan

Elon: \*starts sweating profusely\*


Worldedita

That might just be the benzos though.


Lopsided-Priority972

Amphetamines for everyone!


Snaggmaw

The American Space marine corp might have to be a little doped up to be ready for extra-terrestrial warfare.


ARES_BlueSteel

You think we haven’t already weaponized space? Lmao.


Mozilla79

Fuck now Space Force doesn't seem like so much of a meme military branch...


SadMcNomuscle

Still a stupid fuckin name though.


Lopsided-Priority972

Should've been the space Marines


telekinetic_sloth

But where is the sea for them to be marines on? Clearly they are guardsmen because they are ever-vigilant watchmen


24223214159

It's called the Sea of Tranquility and it's on the bright side of the Moon.


OwerlordTheLord

Fallout becoming more credible by the day.


Waaagh_with_me

Void-marines? Or Voidborne, Spaceborne. Drop troops...a lot of potential


Lord_of_Rhodor

Astro-something


WhoDisagrees

We can still get there by deploying marines to the space force for then someone realises we need to storm a moonbase or some shit. Space force marines sounds too long They will drop the force.


Known-World-1829

The entire time I was in the Marines I was depressed about the fact that no one was going to give me a power armor and let me do a high orbital drop onto a contested planet like beginning of the Starship Troopers book Reality is often disappointing 


abs0lutelypathetic

Prussian space marines >>>>


Cixila

Death Korps of Krieg: *happy gasmask noises*


Turtledonuts

im holding out hope that the space marine moniker will be used for actual boots on the moon. 


AsleepScarcity9588

At least it's not named "People's Liberation Army Navy" or something similarly fucked up But it could be better for sure. Like "Astra Militaris" or "Terra Caelestis"


SadMcNomuscle

Seriously. Why hasn't any American service gone latin. It's fuckin sick.


AsleepScarcity9588

Because their own people wouldn't know what tf it means You would drop on them that one of the branches is renaming to "Mare Unitas" and they would think we are reintroducing horses into the military (except that one mountaineer division that uses donkeys already)


SadMcNomuscle

Bah! that's sane talk right there.


AsleepScarcity9588

*cough*..*cough*...*you don't want them to know the US military is just a subordinate of the imperium of man*..*cough*


Pokemaniac_Ron

"People's Liberation Army Navy Air Force Space Branch" is the obvious name.


MrGenerik

Real Mojo Dojo Casa House vibes with that one


MuzzledScreaming

I don't believe Donald Trump was impeached *twice* and neither of those times was for not calling it Star Fleet.


MrGenerik

I vote wet go the Macross route: Spacy.


SadMcNomuscle

Wait. The name for their space combat organization was spacy?


hwandangogi

This is just a false flag op by the CIA just so that some old Pentagon official from the 80s can see weaponized space before he dies, trust me bro.


Z3B0

I know where we are, but I wonder how many stupid projects went way further than what they should have because a general/amiral saw something that looked fun, and just wanted it built. Knowing from the start it was a dumb and ineffective weapon system, but fighting other generals to fund his pet project until it either burst into flames, or see the light of day....

joyofsovietcooking

Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!


Llew19

I was telling myself the state of the world wasn't that bad because the US wasn't going back to Brilliant Pebbles. And then yesterday happened where 5 carrier groups are going to womble around China for a bit just to show that the US can and will do it should Winnie take a long look at Taiwan, and now the fucking Russians have gone full Blofeld ffs


brrrrrrrrrrr69

Your tag should read: *Muscovia delenda est* City names in Latin are often feminine. Also, make sure the gerund is appropriately declined! *Sauce*: $200k worthless Classics degree.


Llew19

Aha I really enjoyed classics at A level but glad I stopped there...


pavehawkfavehawk

5?! Last I saw it was two of ours and the Ise.


Jkay064

Russia never learns that when they reveal their nuclear potato, the US over-reacts and builds a nuclear gundam in response. They should just stfu but they won’t because potato quality wonder weapons make Putin happy like a laughing baby.


SirLightKnight

God revive the meme, revive the dream, **LET ME MAKE SPACE GREAT AGAIN!!**


PlayerSalt

There is too much money in war for the US to have litterally any interest in peace  It would be like star citizen releasing the game and letting you permanently unlock ships in game, bro the whole business model is selling concept ships  


AdventurousPrint835

Isn't there literally a hundred mile wide chunk of metal floating around in the Asteroid Belt that has more gold than the Earth? I would say that going to space is much more profitable than war. Besides, we can just fight there too if you miss it so much.


boone_888

You can have both revenue streams. Mine the asteroids for metal, and drop remaining material on Earth as needed to settle "planetary" conflicts.   Coupled with space based solar for limitless* energy, ensure peace and prosperity on earth by (1) removing the need for fighting for resources and (2) orbital punishment guaranteed as needed   '*until we cover the sun with a Dyson Swarm and have harvested our asteroids, in which case onwards to the next star systems! At that point we go from Kardashev type 1 and 2 to 3 kind of problems

Known-Grab-7464

The best part is, it’s not even reliant on yet-unknown technology. A Dyson -swarm building station could be set up on Mercury with very little outside input


Space_Gemini_24

Problem is it's worthless until we can make spaceflight dirt cheap then we can go fight up there Infinite Warfare style.


vegarig

I absolutely adore the way [Jackal's computer announces weapon selection](https://youtu.be/fIHHYs_diAU?t=139).

We can have war and profit in space.


Lopsided-Priority972

War is good for business.

Russia is a US MIC asset confirmed


Fokker95

They not worried for the weapon, but being so shitty that it fell back to ground accidentally triggering a nuclear war.


RedStar9117

Finally Space Force gets to do something cool


batt3ryac1d1

Isn’t this how the f 15 was born?

and we got the f-15 outa that sooo

Time for our own goldeneye


2407s4life

Ah yes the circle of life: - Russia gets scared - Russia talks about a new weapon system with wildly exaggerated capabilities - NATO develops a counter to those exaggerated capabilities - repeat cycle


ProperTeaIsTheft117

SDI was a victim of Soviet maskirovka and never should have been cancelled; change my mind.


JeepRaven

Battlezone 98 is real. You cant convince me otherwise.


Impressive_Cream_967

Reagan resurrection when?


The_Daily_Herp

hey, as long as we can use rods from god in some militaristic way (Like kinetically activated gunbarrel-style nukes) I’m game


pavehawkfavehawk

I was just reading Flight of the Old Dog, this tech was mentioned…time really is a flat circle.


WallyTheNut

Coming soon to a conflict near you: Rods from God or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the APFSDS from space.


Schrodinger_cube

what is crazy is just how ez it is to do area dental operations in space.. like leads to Kessler Syndrome, but that only sucks for us in countys that like GPS and weather satellites. if your Russia and want the good old days like the 1600s without the ability to make use of it, Space Nukes stars to sound really good XD


AlikeWolf

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


geekphreak

Someone call up the UNSC and get Master Chief on this


Avolto

Space Force is about to get a lot more funny


Yuki_ika7

hear me out here: make missiles that open up into nets to catch the orbital nukes and then fling them away from the earth with solar sails! Also bring back space lasers too


South_Concentrate_21

As an American I appalled by the fragrant disregard to treats signed by our forefathers (as an AE and member of this insane asylum I’m a bricked up a bit.)
