Summary

The Pentagon has removed web pages about Holocaust remembrance and other historical topics to comply with Trump’s order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal government sites.

Taken-down pages include stories of Holocaust survivors and religious tolerance, as well as content about 9/11 and veterans' issues.

The Defense Department used automated tools to identify and delete up to 24,000 pages.

Critics argue this erases significant historical narratives, while the Pentagon defends the move as necessary to end "Woke cultural Marxism."

The US will either have a civil war or start a world war. I for one hope they have the former, before it gets to the latter.

It's more likely he'll start a war with Canada and Mexico and will then spark a civil war. I want off this timeline

The US starting a war with Canada and Mexico would very much result in a world war. There is no way the rest of the world would sit idle if that happened.

He'd start a war with Canada. México? Either our goverment will roll over or be forced to surrender, we don't really stand a chance (nor is my country's goverment doing anything to strengthen itself)

I think I’m already seeing signs of pre-war polarization.

USA is pushing certain countries away, and they will naturally form new relationships. Maybe in the future we’ll have USA and Russia as one of the rogue states in the axis of oppression. EU will obviously see themselves as one of the good guys who bring democracy and peace to the world.

However, having a civil war in USA looks highly likely as well. Have you considered pulling off a coup d’état yet?

USA is pushing certain countries away, and they will naturally form new relationships.

They are pushing away the overwhelming majority of countries. The only countries they are doing nice with appears to be Russia, Israel (nothing changed there) and El Salvador, whom they are selling slaves to. The El Salvadoran dictator is such a worthless dipshit that his crack down on crime probably will end up causing more problems long term than now (and no, it would not have worked in Colombia or Mexico due to the way how El Salvadoran gangs operate).

With every other country they are pissing everyone off. The Chinese, the New Zealanders, Australians, all of Europe (except for Russia) and their racism probably won't endear them much longer to South Asian nations save for the ultra racist Hindu nationalists.
