“I will never regret joining the military; I would do it all over again. Someone had to protect America, while others amused themselves to death. But would I join today’s military? Absolutely not.” —Will Selber

Ukraine fought with the US after 9/11. Anything lower than stabbing an ally who bled for you? #NATO #GWOT #NATO #IraqWar #9/11 https://www.counteroffensive.news/p/ukraine-fought-alongside-us-in-iraq

It was Night of the Long Knives for Ivan Raiklin’s loyalty club of 200,000 distributed Proud Boys to be a dystopian #WideAwakes.

The losers of the #American #CivilWar, #WWII, #ColdWar, #apartheid, and #GWOT all teamed up for a dystopian cowabunga.
