Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

china. wasn't there a war game simulation run by the US military against hypothetical chinese military where they literally had to change the rules because the US kept losing or something?

I thought that was Iran, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more ๐Ÿ’€

The war games were mostly against China. But some of them included Russia and Iran as secondary allies.

This was the only one I definitely know of where they had to change the rules to get a victory, lmao. Embarrassing stuff.

ahh yeah that was classic and it really speaks to the state of the US military

they can't fathom that there's any possibility that they could lose a war, especially against more primitive methods of communication and attack. However, they haven't actually won any wars that involved an adversary who had the ability to fight back at all
