I mean… They seem perfectly capable of fighting amongst themselves…

Unless you stop at a coffee shop, upload content to a secure server, ditch the SIM and power off the device.

Pretty easy to take video on an old phone without a SIM, or with a cheapo burner sim.

I mean. In freezing temps, water. Just loosen a fire hydrant.

I mean. There’s a lot of options there.

Germany needs to boot the US out of all the military installations there.

Bring your level fours shitheads.

Shit. Me too. Better get that flu shot.

I wonder if there’s something about the English language that makes it’s speakers more susceptible to Russian propaganda somehow.

All it would take is a loaner nuke from France.

The US is the ugly violent older brother’s friend for the EU. They are loving this. Venezuela is one of the countries that Russia has propped up for ages. We’re beating up the bully’s friends, and reminding the bully that we can do what they can’t.

Hot take, this was a way better outcome than carpet bombing Baghdad had. Objectively bad of course, but maybe the US military has actually learned something. I’d argue that Trump is a figurehead for the MIC, and it is telling that they have behaved with relative restraint (relative to Gaza and Ukraine for instance). If he was calling the shots for real how would this have gone down? It’s been obvious since the Nobel prizes that there was a western consensus on regime change in Venezuela. It’s directly related to Ukraine. This is a demonstration that the US military is far more capable than Russia’s, and a message directly to Putin and simultaneously any sub-peer nation considering alignment with Russia or China.

If they’re old enough for the draft they’re old enough to go do postsecondary ed or Wwoofing somewhere in Europe for a few years.

Ender’s game is about current events.

How hard did we really try though?

Renewables are great for domestic industry but if you want to fight a war on the other side of the planet you need oil.

Lack of reading comprehension and critical thinking is part of the reason we’re here, huh.

We cancelled Amazon new year’s day. Hope there’s more like us.

The western hemisphere is ours. Asia is China’s, Europe is Russia’s. No room for minor powers or old alliances in the end game. Just raw power.

Not a boycott of products, a divestment from the dollar and the US stock market. Sell all treasury bonds. It’s possible.
