Ding ding! You got it!

This mess with Trump is another symptom of our Congress being more intent on taking ~~bribes~~ campaign donations and retaining their personal power than handling the business of the nation.

Good. Despite the fact that my Government is currently being run by baboons the US Government shouldn't have been the sole carrier of such a globally important program. The CVE program is central to how security companies, Qualys being an example, make absolute shedloads of money. These companies shouldn't be getting a free ride; it's only right that they contribute to maintaining the resource.

There's also the argument that no single Government should have control over something like this.

Basically the same legislation that Colorado just passed.

Get elected to the US Congress. They don't do anything and get 6 figure salaries AND free Healthcare!

Millennium Challenge 2002. That was a boondoggle. Yes the opposing force won and they had to reset the game but the OPFOR was up to some ridiculous shenanigans. For instance instead of using radios, which could be intercepted and tracked, they used motorcycles to convey messages...motorcycles that could travel at the speed of light.

Another piece of silliness is that there were commercial vessels (non-combatants) on the virtual water but OPFOR sometimes used them in ways that were impossible. As an example radar would return a 12 foot fishing boat and then that boat would launch four 20 foot long anti-ship missiles.

Then there's whole idea of a CBG just hanging around shore for days on end staying inside a pre-determined box so that OPFOR always knew their location, something that almost certainly not happen in an IRL conflict.

The Commander of the Opposing Force was extremely clever but they needed a long list of nearly impossible to achieve advantages to make it work.

I hard doubt the US doesn’t have classified hypersonic missile tech....

The HACM (Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile) is already out there.

They already are. Why do you think the Toddler in Chief keeps walking stuff back?

Trump is dumber than a bucket of hair.

These people are all fucking idiots. No business can plan anything when costs are whipsawing and our trading partners are already tired of reacting to these near daily changes.

I just don't have language strong enough to convey my utter exasperation and the depth of my contempt for these people.

Saw this attack in the wild this week. Huntress MDR detected and shut it down.

So it’s working?

How so? I'm having to go out of my way to find and engage with people who have alternate viewpoints & lifestyles because they tend to get pushed out of / banned from "regular" communities. That's the exact problem being discussed here.

In the broader context of the meme itself people start thinking they are in the majority because they are participating in online communities that have been carefully curated over time to silence anyone who disagrees.
