Usually I mock posts that see America doing the things America has always done and going "what are we a bunch of <slavs/chinese/third world nation>", but usually America is good at lying.
The sociopath seems the antithetical retort to "It is no measure of health to be well -adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

It's a lot faster to put in video game footage than it is to get some B-roll from the military and get it declassified.
Not that this administration cares about rules tbh.
The president can declassify stuff with his mind
You've got a good point. Such an amazing ability that the President has.
We joke, but that's one power a sitting president actually does have. Because the classification system was originally implemented by a president and not by congress, it is functionally maintained at-will by the president. That's why presidents don't need a security clearance.
Once that president is out of office, unauthorized possession of classified material is a crime. Depending on the severity of the situation, the amount and nature of the material and the degree of classification, how it's handled (stored and transported), the deliberateness with which possession is maintained, whether or not unauthorized persons are given access to it, and how the person responds when it comes to their knowledge that they're still in possession of classified material, the crime could be a felony up to and including espionage and treason.
Which is what magats don't get when they point to an empty folder with classified markings that Biden found in an empty drawer in his office from his time as VP, and immediately reported it through the proper channels and turned it in, and they say "see! both sides are the same! it's a political witch hunt!"
While trump knowingly and willingly loaded boxes of classified material onto a plane and transported it to his mansion in Florida in the time between losing an election and leaving office, where he stored those boxes in a bathroom even after leaving office (and thus no longer having authorization to possess the material), where he entertained guests including foreign emissaries and businessmen, who gave him lucrative gifts through proxies such as his family members, and were likely given access to that material stored in his bathroom.
Yeah, not the same thing at all.
No one has abilities like this. You’ve never seen. They’re saying, many of them, and it’s been very badly reported.
I'm surprised it's not all AI video.
"AI" has to be trained on something. They don't want it to look too similar to the Iraq invasion, etc...
...you're saying this is funny? What?

Thanks, OP! Wait, why has your name changed?
The average CoD lobby has more intelligence than the current American administration.

Call of Duty. One of Epstein's favorites. He even helped bobby kotick name CoD Points so they could use the abbreviation CP
Source on that? Not that I don't believe you but that is something I'd like to see
Bobby Kotick was very good friends with Epstein. Just search for both of their names together. Epstein also pushed microtransactions.
I don’t remember anything about the cp stuff but there is a very interesting Behind the Bastards podcast about epstein and many of his evils beyond child sex trafficking. Talks about Kotick a lot https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/
Very in character for people who have always lived in la-la-land.
Probably used AI or something to scrape the footage.
Leveraging one of their biggest recruitment tools as additional propaganda? Say it isn't so. Well luckily, it's not like CoD is actually on the government payroll, so of course a cease and desist will be following shortly... right?
Uh, your video is just an image. I'll undownvote once you fix your link.
Oh no! I must do that then. Google the article yourself.
Just in case theres any kids watching that might think war may not be as glamorous as the video games make it seem. Its EXACTLY like a video game! Sign up today!
"Hey, you know that simulation where you die horrifically over and over and over? That's just what this war is like, now with incredible pain, and fewer Doritos. High five."
I wish I could react with an emoji to this post xd
🤷
It is real but probably not what people think. They're not exactly hiding the fact that they're using footage from a game.
Its not about them trying to pass video game footage as real. Them leaning into the video game esthetic is the problem. Its glorifying war, death, and destruction. Its also intentionally appealing to military aged boys/men. Its a sleezy recruitment video
I don't disagree but my point was that usually with news like this it's someone trying to slip in video game footage as real to potray their military more capable than it really is or to claim that something was hit when it actually wasn't. I think it's safe to assume that this is what most people imagine happened here too but this is different. It's just a PSA - I'm not defending what they're doing.
