## Resource

The world is unrecognizable compared to a few weeks ago. We have military forces forward deployed in active combat, primaries in the books, and for the first time in decades, there are no limits on the world's nuclear arsenals. We aren't here to give you the party line—we’re here to look at the people behind the curtains, and the decisions being made that affect you. Tune in as we hold the line as the world starts to burn, while all logic goes out the window. Join in on the Discussion on our Discord - https://discord.gg/JMTPN2MwQQ
