Could have imagined this happening as little as 3 years ago.

An ally sending a nuclear deterrent into our waters as a message/warning to the US. This normally happens to countries like Iran or North Korea

Still hasn’t happened. This was a sales pitch for a Canadian defence contract.

Hey. Guess what? At the moment, we're the bad guys...

[-] XenGi@feddit.org 28 points 19 hours ago

At the moment? When was there ever a time the US weren't the bad guys?

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 25 points 19 hours ago

Briefly the us was the good guys when we killed a bunch of slavers and then when we killed a bunch of fascists. Those were exceptions to the rule though.

Looks at founding fathers... Yeah killed the slavers. Puts blanket over Native Indians. Hides Chinese rail workers under rug. Renames Irish "Indentured workers"

They also killed the Nazis, except for the ones that were useful, of course.

I kinda root for them in the war of independence

To be accurate, this is a nuclear propelled attack submarine. It does not carry nuclear warheads and is not what we normally call a "nuclear deterrent".

I believe you, but do you have a source? That's a pretty big distinction when *they're calling it a "nuclear attack submarine"!

EDIT: Clarification

Thanks for the info. I'm curious if you have more details on what that job was (if you're able to share)! Why did you move on from it?
