Cool. Now apply this argument to Israel.

Bradley is now complicit as well. He knew better than to order a follow-up strike upon a disabled enemy, if we can even call the targets such.

No. It should be at a level to offset the cost of remediation.

No one has the nerve to make waves with his idiot-base. They don’t think - they listen and follow like a hive mind. When you hear them in groups they’re regurgitating right wing talking points at each other to mock everyone else. Also, the folks who back Congressfolk are making bank with Trump…

Well, so that’s an act of war or a precursor to one…

Someone opened the doors to hiring all of the misfits that normally wouldn’t make 2 days of true training, much less fitness qualification, paid them obscene amounts, and said ‘go get brown people. Any brown people. We‘ll pay bonuses per capture.’

And as a nation, here we are.

Oh they’ve been threatening that for ages.

The joke is: The South will rise again.

Reply: No, it’ll only get half hard.

Finally came right out and straight up admitted it’s all about the oil.

We need to wait until we have a Senate willing to convict, which may be possible in fall of 2026. Then, a lot more could happen.

Funny, but they can do way better.

Strange coincidence, that

See, I can both dislike Orange Man and recognize that both parties are allowing him to shoulder responsibility for manipulations which originate decades ago at the fall of the USSR. We want the EU/NATO nations to assume the fight against Russia while we go for China. Defense will just be redirected.

9/? A number of administrations have worked toward what’s nearing fruition. We do not appear ready to allow the Cold War to end. It’s simply too profitable. US companies will continue to profit in Ukraine and with NATO/EU nations. Our defense will be rerouted to Star Wars type defense and more Navy.

8/? Something that seems consistent about the history of war is that there’s always a village in the way of an army.
Our focus will be China for the foreseeable future. This was always going to happen, and honestly if left to Trump to accomplish on his own he’d have screwed it up.

7/? Meanwhile the act has been used as justification for vast expense on our behalf. See, I didn’t even need Elon and the ketamine kids for that. 😉
There aren’t a lot of angels in this, only victims and war profiteers, and some criminal acts from both parties against those with no defense.

6/? While this may seem fantastical any Soviet leader might have thought the same about what worked out post USSR so there’s that). In this scenario, what do you suppose Washington might do in regards to said Naval base in Norfolk? I submit that it would have been no different than events in Crimea.

5/? Some states join their own group or do whatever. Washington remains with the Union and larger area of our former nation, and of course would wish to maintain the Norfolk Naval base etc so it leases from Virginia. Then Virginia being alone is lured into considering joining a potential hostile.
