Dear Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran

Special joint statement by Uncle Sam (he/him), Aunt Samantha (she/her), and Nonbinary Starsstripes (shim/it)

Dear Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran:

As you cozy up diplomatically and militarily, it seems only fair that you receive an unequivocal warning about the insurmountable strength of the U.S. military that you might face if you continue to provoke the Stars and Stripes. In short, while you have merely been increasing the size of your navy and global reach, developing hypersonic weapons, developing nuclear capabilities, and lining the pockets of U.S. officials and their families, universities, and the U.S media, the U.S. has been taking historic strides in our military capabilities and lethality.

Consider:

1. The U.S. has paid for far more gender transition surgeries for military personnel than all of you combined.

2. Only the U.S. has had multiple Commanders-in-Chief tell military personnel that the biggest threat they face is climate change.

3. We have expelled far more military personnel from the ranks than you for refusing to be adequately boosted for COVID.

4. Only the U.S. has a leader of its defense department whose primary objective is the reduction of military forces due to rampant white supremacy.

5. No other country has focused as much as we have on the usage of correct gender pronouns at military academies.

6. No other country comes close to the number of CRT manuals printed and stored in military warehouses across the country.

7. No other country has similarly reduced its physical requirements for soldiers with vulva than has the U.S.

8. No other country has committed to embedding as many pregnant birthing people within combat units as we have.

We could continue, but hopefully, you get the point. Tread lightly, Comrades. You have been warned!

Sincerely,

Uncle Sam (he/him), Aunt Samantha (she/her), and Nonbinary Starsstripes (shim/it).

Now for the icing on the cake:
