while people across the world celebrated the dawning of the New Year overnight, the US military thought it would be funny to celebrate and make light of one of the things they do best: dropping massive bombs on people and places.
In a since-deleted tweet, US Strategic Command (StratCom), which controls the nation’s strategic missile systems and coordinates offensive nuclear capabilities worldwide, joked that while people in New York City enjoyed the dropping of “the big ball” during the countdown to midnight, “we are ready to drop something much, much bigger.”
Beneath the message was a video (see below), as the New York Times describes it, of “a B-2 stealth bomber soaring across the sky before releasing two GPS-guided bombs that exploded into a giant ball of fire after hitting the ground below.”
meanwhile people everywhere are aware that all of our struggles are intertwined, and all life suffers the same murderous humor, and endures or perishes in the fallout of endless mercenary war.
they chuckleheads at the pentagon took down the sick tweet after three hours stating for the record it was in poor taste and does not reflect their pentagonal values, which are? wholesale murder, a value that trumps all values.
