Truly reaching Russian levels of credibility
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."
~~Russian~~
None of this, OK?
Christ...
The joke was "No Russian"
(CoD MW2 reference)
Probably used AI or something to scrape the footage.

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

...you're saying this is funny? What?
Call of Duty. One of Epstein's favorites. He even helped bobby kotick name CoD Points so they could use the abbreviation CP
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.
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...
Uh, your video is just an image. I'll undownvote once you fix your link.
"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."
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!
Very in character for people who have always lived in la-la-land.
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?
I wish I could react with an emoji to this post xd
🤷
Real or not. Iran, Khamenei, Venezuela, Maduro, kindergaten girls etc are not the actual targets of our military operations. The main course is Vladimir Putin. If you watch the chain of events closely, this is exactly what you do when you have to take down Vladimir Putin.
Wild mental gymnastics, because they're in no way targeting Putin, while they are double tapping kindergartners. None of these actions have impacted Putin, and if anything, destabilizing Venezuela has given Russia a bigger foothold on oil sales. If it wasn't obvious with the Ukrainian war, the US doesn't care about what Russia is doing.
A lot of you fail to see the lines being drawn and will not even recognise it if I show it to you. You already called it "mental gymnastics" proving to me that you have a hard time figuring it out. I already did the hard work for you so you don't have to and I guess you believed Trump was going after Maduro for drug sales (because Maduro is a pharmaceutical rep. , right?) Maybe that one is easier for you to understand. No "Mental gymnastics" required lol 😄
Bring receipts or don't speak. No one thinks that about Maduro, it's explained in the 2025 National Security Strategy that it's because the US can't compete with China and needs to pull back international presense. If you can't prove what you say even with your "proof," there is nothing you need to say. What, did god whisper it to you in a dream? You read it in your tea leaves? Your FBI handler finally reply back?
Hmmm, you already got the message. I can not tell you what to do with it. When I told Iranians on Reddit all their leaders will be eliminated, I was insulted. But that's ok
Is that satire?
You must use clips from the military propaganda video game in your official White House war propaganda videos to… defeat Putin. Got it.
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
