Reminder that the generals requested a preemptive strike against North Korea in 2017.

A stopped clock is right twice a day, and for Trump, that was when he denied this and the plan to go to war with Iran hours before the first strike.

Holy fucking shit, they really want to kill us all. What's the matter, is their Bronze-Age desert lich taking too long to come back?

The article says the strategic plan is updated every 4 years or so. So nothing special here. They would be foolish NOT to plan for China and North Korea to be a part of the picture. I wouldn't mind betting Iran, Pakistan and India are mentioned somewhere as well.

This is literally no other day.

This is what happens as we discover dangerous technologies, there is an arms face and mutual destruction is assured and walked back over time.

Game theory.
