They just tested an ICBM. No worky ;-(

There’s no better way to say “Our conventional military is a paper tiger” than constantly threatening nuclear annihilation.

Things that make the Doomsday Clock go *tick*

Since when is Don fucking Lemon one of our own? I certainly don’t claim Don “if it was rape, why didn’t you just bite him?” Lemon. Also, no he was not talking about her flip flops. That wasn’t the context of the conversation. This was in the context of her saying people over 75 should be required to take mental…

Overwhelmingly, the people who support it are just people who either (1) don’t know shit about it or (2) reflexively support any U.S. military endeavor.  

Which is why instead of competency tests, there should just simply be a maximum age. Before Reagan, the only President who had reached the age of 70 while in office was Eisenhower, and that was only for the last three months of his second term. Reagan turned 70 less than a month after his first term started and was…

“Criminal” suggests the commission of crimes, not a conviction.

@Paul Faure - Last time China invaded someone?

I’m pretty broadly supportive of property rights, as having no property rights isn’t a solution for anyone but the most powerful.

If you MUST be found guilty in court to be a war criminal, then Hitler, Himmler, Pol Pot, and Genghis Khan are all just alleged war criminals.

Similar to the shock and outrage about TikTok gathering data when all social media apps love to hoover up that data and most are willing to sell it to anyone. 

China thinks the entire South China Sea is theirs. Yes, it was a surveillance flight but the US and China interpret the UN’s Convention on the Law of the Sea differently.

IDK, there is a big difference between spying during the cold war/ spying in an active war zone/ spying within your own border and spying on a nuclear power you are supposed to be at peace with (and getting caught doing it). I don’t think China having spy balloons is really a big deal, but brazenly sending them over…

Except that in many of these cases, India and many Southeast Asian countries have a reason to be concerned. There’s a long strained history of Chinese aggression.

And? 

.....I dont care.  Japan is a Democracy, NK and China are not and commit atrocious acts of cruelty and crimes against humanity against their own citizens.  Fuck off.

I don’t think that North Korea can afford the materials to build a weaponized balloon.

Just the first one

One of the balloons belonged to a Northern Illinois balloon club. Something like Pico Balloon club. Theirs was shot down near Alaska. And, if your balloon doesn’t weigh more than 6 pounds, the FAA doesn’t care about it.

I know you won’t reply to this directly and I frankly don’t care. You should know this though. Slava Ukrani is the rallying cry of the OUN. The OUN was/is a Ukrainian fascist group that collaborated with Nazi Germany in WWII. They slaughtered hundred of thousands of Poles, Russians, Jews and Communists. Stepan…
