    Critical support for dragons attacking Klanada.

    Also no dragon ever could cause suffering equal to capitalism

    That’s why in Shadowrun universe they made dragons capitalists. Seriously scary.

    These people massively overestimate Europe’s military capabilities. France i can maybe understand not being aware of just how militarily weak they really are because they’re still active in Africa so they give the appearance of being stronger than is actually the case, but who in their right mind would count the UK with its tiny and dilapidated army as any kind of serious military power? This is just straight up delusional.

    Meanwhile they completely forget a number of actually strong militaries like Turkey and yes, no matter how much the libs will deny it, the DPRK. Even mid tier militaries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Brazil are way more impressive than what any European country has left at this point.

      I mean they’re pretty beat up but i still think Ukraine’s army even at this point is still stronger than any other European army with the exception of Turkey (if you count them as European). Germany’s armed forces are in a catastrophic state, France’s expeditionary forces are getting kicked out of African countries left and right, and the UK has a pathetically tiny army that by their own admission wouldn’t last last a week in a serious armed conflict. Even the UK’s famous navy is a shadow of its former self.

      I would argue that at the beginning of the Russian intervention in Ukraine last year, Ukraine actually had the second strongest NATO army despite not being officially part of NATO. Their army was trained and organized to NATO standard and imo they were better equipped than Turkey while about the same size after mobilizing the territorial defense units.

      Of course that army got wrecked by the Russians in the first months, then reconstituted with a mix of old Soviet and newer NATO equipment, then wrecked again and now they’re on their third iteration with almost exclusively NATO equipment since all the old Soviet stuff the US could scrounge up has run out.

    Those 5000 dragons would be quite literally taken apart in the first couple of weeks by trophy hunters alone

    To be fair, this is more in touch with reality than a lot of Pentagon studies these days.

    In reality people would just die from the minuscule, harmless reptile being hyped up as an apocalyptic threat, justifying capitalist governments to dismantle critical social infrastructure and pump even more money into the military
