Doesn't help that the US military are saying the recent war in Iran is to start a holy war and bring about the apocalypse. A death cult with nukes that want to take as many of us with them as they can. How is this being swept aside like every other "end of the world" theory? They're actively orchestrating it.
Fuck it. I’m going to live like this is my last day in my life. Anyone else fancy for a beer?
Unfortunately that's just a symptom of a much deeper problem. USA is almost completely brainwashed by zionism (christian, jewish, atheist, etc).
Yes, that's the point. They all want the apocalypse for various fashy/religious reasons.
Worse: they are now using AI to determine targets, amd they want to make fully autonomous weapons
I feel like it's not fair to get proof that we are killing the planet with CO² and instead of stopping it at a reasonable time, they instead hid that from everyone so that they could make it happen faster so that Jesus would come back. Our species is commiting suicide at the behest of a death cult with extraordinary PR. How are we all just allowing this ...?

Sure, but were they speaking officially on behalf of the U.S. military, or were they just expressing their own (distressingly commonly held) view?
When are military personel not talking officially? ...have you seen Sen. Kelly prosecution by trump-hegseth-dptOfWar, they claim retired military personel do not have free speech, aka they are always bound to speak officially. So, I ask again, when are military personel not talking officially?
When they are sharing their own viewpoint and not the official viewpoint of the military as an organizational whole.
Actually, what they are trying to charge him for is sedition for encouraging troops to disobey orders, which is even worse (nonsense) than charging him merely for speaking unofficially.
"Herr Colonel and dozens of other commanders did say ze war was to exterminate ze jews and dominate ze world, but maybe it's just zeir own personal feelings and surely not ze fuhrer's intent"
I think it is much more likely that Trump enjoys the power trip that comes from bullying the weak than that he is specifically out to start a holy war, and at the end of the day the goal of the U.S. military is to do whatever he says, no matter what they personally think about it.
Since when has the military ever officially and explicitly stated their actual intentions
According to the person I was responding to, this is exactly what they are doing:
