As we discussed previously here, the military is trying to get White men back. That's why they were so determined to get Hegseth in. They pushed hard for him, especially compared to Matt Gaetz where MAGA folded at the first sign of push back. They want the "based gigachad" with Deus Vault tattoos to play the pied piper.

I hope this ends up being a good thing and not beefing up ranks to supply for a a war. My dad said he didn’t understand why Dems were surprised about declining numbers. They weee openly hostile to the kind of people that tend to join

But WHICH war?

You'll lose another generation if you send them to fight in the desert again, mixed if they had to help defend South East Asia from China but You'll have a MASSIVE spike in numbers recruiting if the only war under Trump is against the cartels..

Gaza I still don't know about as it seems like he may have done the classic 'I'm going to say shit to stir the pot' Trump thing like with Canada being the 51st state. He isn't putting action behind it like he did with Panama.

Iran, doubtful as he seems to be doing the same kind of tactic that go him closer with North Korea. You show your boss then negotiate through strength while respecting local customs. Something A LOT of US leaders can't understand compared to an international businessman.

Even if it did come to war with Iran, we have already seen that they cant do shit to our aircraft (via proxy by the Israelis), and all we would have to do is destroy the key targets and let the massive anti-Regime sentiment we always see bubbling below the surface make Iran Persia again. All without us having to put a single boot on the ground (other than the usual "get in, get out" Operator-shit types).

Completely addicted to losing. They see everything that's gone on in the last three weeks and start throwing insane tantrums because we haven't started terror bombing Tel Aviv. They're worse than the "pro-life" activists who tried to get people to vote against Trump because he wouldn't commit political suicide by running on outlawing abortion from conception.

Its all virtue signal. They cannot just be anti-Jew, they must be the most anti-semitic and refuse to ever be seen saying a single positive thing about anyone who isn't also anti-semitic. Otherwise their "comrades" will dogpile on them about "did you know that every single idea that ever existed was started by a Jew? you are retarded and controlled!!!"

They are so lost in the sauce, they cannot see how they are identical to the Woke. Including in being suicidally unlikeable to the point that it ruins any chance they might have of getting their politics enacted.

Meanwhile, most of what we are looking at makes it seem more likely we are preparing to fight the Cartels (which would mostly be wet-work Operator type shit, so doesnt really matter for grunts), and deterring China (which is a popular position with Americans). If it did come to blows with Iran, we have already seen there is fuck-all they can do to stop us and would more than likely leave it with some key targets bombed and then walking away (like Trump did with Syria).

Then the Iranian people can sort out their own mess, probably overthrowing the Ayatollahs in the process and making Iran Persia again.

I dont think it will be hot, but I do absolutely foresee more ships operating around them, helping out the likes of Vietnam, The Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan (all of whom have been wanting to get closer alliances with the US and investing in more modern systems). Plus Australia has been upgrading their navy and air force to help with the deterrence.

probably a combination of both actually. The Democrats hemorrhaged military morale to the point otherwise military-minded people flat out didn't want to join. we are probably seeing a correction with the new administration, combined with a ramped up recruiting effort.

Even in the best case scenario (we don't end up in another war and Hegseth successfully roots out the DIE rot) the Dems will eventually cheat their way back into the White House and getting out of the military is a lot harder than getting in. I don't see this ending well for the white men who are joining up right now.

There was an interesting article I was reading a bit ago that was talking about Hegseth’s Venmo account which is public and all the defense contractors that he is buddies with that are getting that sweet sweet swamp money. This whole fiasco would be better if it wasn’t for the fact we are all along for the ride. None of these politicians give a shit about you. It’s just another grift except this time it’s the political right playing the part of the useful idiots.

I can't speak for the whole country, but I know a few guys who considered signing back up if they could get deployed to the border/Mexico to shoot cartels. Which until yesterday seemed like the most likely place a lot of our military might end up if anywhere.

One of our guys here pointed out that the cartel thing was a smoke screen to get people to sign up. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of young men think they will be helping in border security - for America that is. Their media feeds are probably horrendous nonsense that would make that sound far more likely than it actually is.

Of course people would say that, half the people here are already ready to say everything that happened in the last month was a cover for the Gaza thing and it was all a lie with all the migrants already flying back.

I'm not willing to buy that yet. Especially as nobody really said that was going to happen in the slightest from above, it was just an assumption made by people getting excited on their own. I'd be more suspicious if they had started dangling that key, but Trump was pretty quick to let Sheila McJewberg promise to police herself instead of our boys.

Point being, it seems to be happening organically in a lot of ways. People are excited for America again, and to have leadership who make them proud to be so. That is often enough to see surging recruitment rates instead of some 4D chess move from the government.

That feeling isn't organic though. People like Petey and even Trump himself are chosen precisely because of their ability to create that feeling. There are still 10s of millions of illegals in the country, and all signs point to Trump letting in tons of legal immigrants on top of that. The country has not in anyway been brought back into our hands.

Trump? Chosen? The guy's brains were saved from splattering on live TV by an act of God. There couldn't be a clearer signal that he was in fact NOT chosen. The plan was to have Nikki Haley bravely take up the nomination, cruise to victory against the coconut retard, and immediately invade Iran.

You're assuming the assassin was part of some grand plan and not merely a byproduct of constant shitlib hysteria.

I'm also not only talking about this election anyway but his entire existence as a politician and why people like Netanyahu, Arthur Finkelstein, and the Kushners latched onto him.

Yes, I am. The circumstantial evidence almost screams that this was a hit. Secret Service left a massive hole in the perimeter due to a sloped roof with a grade of 5 degrees. Trump's regular SS detail reassigned for that day. CNN livestreaming when they usually refuse to cover his rallies out of principle. Shooter is a zoomer yet has no social media imprint. Shooter's background and family is a black hole. Highly trained SS agents couldn't detect the shooter before he fired but dozens of beer-swilling boomers in the audience were yelling about him for five minutes. Shooter was in a Blackrock commercial. Media pre-seeded with stories about "threats from Iran," as if Iran would ever get within a country mile of doing this.

And if that wasn't enough, some NAFO mercenary who mysteriously knew Trump's itinerary almost gunned him down on his own golf course a few weeks later.

Just crazy libs spontaneously being crazy libs. Just like Vaush and Politico and Ben Stiller and thousands of other people and organizations in our Potemkin culture that are now proven to be employees of the deep state.

Are your friends running for office or in high position within large corporations? If not then they probably weren't chosen for anything except to be sent to die in a Middle Eastern desert, not that they were chosen by name but likely fit into categories of people targeted for this psyop.

That feelings existing cannot be organic, its all part of the 9D ultra chess that the Elites are playing with all of us.

If they can plan that well and deeply with that much success, then your opinion is pointless, as is all of this discussion, because we have no power or control of anything or our lives whatsoever.

I am of the firm belief that "the powers that be" aren't gods and aren't that far above us in terms of intelligence and invincibility. But in order for them to operate to the level you assign, they'd need to be such incredible individuals they almost deserve to control us.

You're overreaching with that. All they have to know is that the military is important for maintaining their empire, it's struggling with recruitment, Trump and Hegseth can help recover that. None of this requires God-like powers, and is actually very obvious for the most part.

They don't have God-like powers, but they can have God-like powers over people who fall for the bullshit. There's no reason to be a true believer in America again unless we have some convincing assurance that the Great Replacement has been brought to a screeching halt. That hasn't happened.

Exactly. We have a manufactured political circus and whites/right wing/Republican leaning people all buy into the idea that we are back because trump won the election. In reality trump already embraced the things that are killing our nation and instead is changing a few aesthetics to appeal to the narrative.

People refuse to believe this because they prefer to take the blue pill and wake up pretending they didn't experience the last decade or two of fake news, Orwellian doublespeak, and forever wars. Its like the coof lockdown panics didnt even happen and it was all a big misunderstanding. People are hopeful fools.
