🕵️ New: U.S. embassies to coordinate with Pentagon psy-ops unit and Elon Musk: 🔹Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a cable Monday ordering all U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide to run coordinated campaigns against what it calls foreign “anti-American propaganda,” according to The Guardian. 🔹Embassies are instructed to recruit local influencers, academics, and community leaders to spread messaging that appears locally driven rather than directed by Washington. The cable also promotes X’s “Community Notes” feature as a crowdsourced way to counter anti-American narratives “without compromising free speech or privacy.” 🔹The directive tells diplomats to work with the U.S. military’s psychological operations unit and use X—owned by Elon Musk—as a key tool, describing it as an “innovative” way to counter disinformation.


The East German elves are taking over

Americans were there to protect south Vietnam from the north Vietnamese soldiers, because south Vietnam requested America for help. You blame American soldiers but you don't know that they could have killed a lot more. South Korean soldiers were a lot worse because they wiped out everyone if they were ever attacked by Vietcong. The Vietcong were warned not to attack SK soldiers because they don't care. But Americans cared even though they didn't have to. America could have dropped atomic bombs or just firebombed the whole country without setting a foot in Vietnam. You should be grateful that your enemies were Americans. Your hero Ho Chi Minh started this war with the Chinese communist party's help. Next time, don't start a war especially with Americans.
