What do you think America could accomplish if we genuinely gave zero shits about the rest of the world and were entirely self-interest centered, like is often claimed?

>No! You can't just mine asteroids and bring the material back, this has to carefully orchestrated. You' could crash entire economies!
Don't care.
>Oh my God, ethnic conflict in [insert shithole] has reached the point of genocide and systematic violence, we have to do something!
Pfff, not my problem.
>No! You can't take use your military to enforce territorial claims in space
Sure I can, do something about it.

Fucking imagine.

lol ok buddy cool fanfic, no human being has even been 1/1000th of the distance to the moon since 1972, the idea that we have or need space-based weaponry is fucking naively retarded, you should take your fanfic tier worldview into /v/ or dungeons and dragons

>>509086220 (OP)
>We already do

>>509086220 (OP)
I actually can't imagine it because our nation is completely dominated by traitors and foreigners.

What you're proposing is fantasy far beyond grasp.
Focus on now. Your nation needs you.

>>509086220 (OP)
we'd have warp drives, not that reaction mass bullshit

>>509086400
We are developing orbital weapons already because of the multiple nations launching satellites.

Space doesn't exist retard.
The Firmament placed by God in the sky gives the illusion of vast galaxies and stars.
The moon landing did happen but the universe quickly simulated a toxic unlivable shit hole with nothing interesting to discourage sentient observers from coming back to it.
The moon existed briefly in the 1960s/1970s but never since.
Aside from that nothing beyond this planet exists or matters.

Space travel is almost as retarded as detonating nukes for propulsion

>>509086669
>star wars all over again
Is it actually possible this time? Or is this Reagan 2 Orange Boogaloo

>>509086220 (OP)
>Mining asteroids
The amount of fuel it would take to move that much metal is insane. Space tech is nowhere near ready to do this.

>>509086669
thats some fanfics you heard about on the news, which you think is reality even though its jewish storytelling. you realize they sit around and plan out the headlines to try to make you interested, right? so they say "the enemy has space weapons, we need space weapons" and then you're sitting here daydreaming about it like its real. its just stories you've heard online. have you ever seen a satellite? do you know how fast satellites allegedly travel? there are supposedly over ten thousand satellites in "orbit" at 17500 mph, do you really buy that number? pic related is the nonsense fanfic they want you to believe, do you see it and think "yep, that's a representation of what's happening in reality around where i live right now"?

>>509086220 (OP)
>oh shit, the goyim are starting to notice our low budget moon film was faked
>fuck fuck fuck we need more money for weapons research, what do we do?
>….asteroid mining?

I hate spacefags so much it is actually more unreal than space.

Your country would be a Congo tier shithole if you didn't keep the rest of the world under your boot
Believe me there's nothing we want to do more than get rid of Americas influence on us

>>509086220 (OP)
1990 to now has been exactly that. Jack shit has been accomplished. Nothing short of another WW would pull together something like the obscene technologic advanced between 1900 and 1960.
Johnson tried to mimic the tech leap with Vietnam escalation, but all he did with his little half assed war was stagger things out and let a festering population of anti-war hippies originate and begin the seeds of what we now have to deal with in the form of modern leftism.

>>509086400
>the idea that we have or need space-based weaponry
Orbital observation is absolutely critical to any modern war now, just ask the ukis
So the idea that any spacefaring nation is not preparing to protect their assets there and destroying those of their foes is laughable

>>509087523
there is no such thing as "modern wars", in fact all wars are bankers wars, do you really think russia and ukraine are fighting over a tiny sliver of land for the past five years? or sorry, i should say jewkraine because zelenskyy is jewish and so are all of jewtins friends. or do you mean the war in israel that they started so that the US (owned by israel) can send them aid packages as they are doing their greater israel project?

the idea that you think there are "spacefaring nations" is what is laughable, you seriously hear things online and on the news and think its reality, you dont understand who writes the news and the fact that it's just another jewish psyop to get you afraid. the news is all fear porn. they dont need war, they need you to believe there's war. and people believe anything they read as long as its from a source of authority like the "news" or "experts" or "scientists"

a human being hasn't been 1/1000th of the distance to the moon since 1972 and you are somehow living in this fairytale where you think we're somehow experts at navigating "outer space"

>if we genuinely gave zero shits about the rest of the world
You'd be a third world shit hole. Everything the US has done impressively has been entirely to try and flex at other countries. The entire space program was the "space race" and you've done fuck all since the USSR stopped trying.

>What do you think America could accomplish if we genuinely gave zero shits about the rest of the world and were entirely self-interest centered, like is often claimed?
You have a misunderstanding of what gives us power. The dollar. And that's because we can use it to offshore our inflation and debt. We can do that because the rest of the world trades with it. If we just kept to ourselves, then they wouldn't. Thus we would be much weaker. And whatever currency they did use, that country would be the major superpower.

>>509087822
uh yeah i never said "i have the real story" but yes, a lot of it is faked. instead of going "holy shit, you are right, we have been lied to and that's significant, we should try to find the truth out for ourselves" you instead put yourself in this faggy learned helplessness role where you think "well, then NOBODY can know the truth so its OKAY if i keep following lies blindly". you're an npc retard, look at how you speak to me, i guarantee you wouldn't say that to me if we were in person, you would be civilized like a good quiet little boy and maybe learn a thing or two from daddy as he's teaching you

>>509088020
keep your gay fanfic to yourself, and try another medication

>>509088118
medication is a whole entire separate jewish psyop, the idea that there even are "mental illnesses" that are invisible but can be fixed by taking jewish created big pharma pills is crazy to me, not to mention the pills give you side effects that you need more pills for. people walk around and go "doc, im depressed" as though it's not being a slave for 5/7th of their life since they were five years old that has gotten them this way, but instead its "unbalanced chemicals that can be fixed with this pill"

>>509086220 (OP)
you have to give a shit about other nations if we want to mine asteroids
America, while great but currently weak. We just can't do everything alone.

>>509086220 (OP)
the crazy thing about Project Orion is that it's capable of achieving relativistic speeds

>>509086220 (OP)
I think we would be pretty good at buying useless shit that falls appart from china

>>509088353
you are talking to a jewish shill buddy

>>509089382
yes i basically assume almost everyone here is a jewish shill unless they prove otherwise

>>509086220 (OP)
Are you going to keep sucking jewish dick? If yes, then it doesn't matter.

>>509086700
Sure thing, well poisoning fed shitskin.
