Or the bang of a gavel

Get out of my head Charles

Is this where we’re supposed to post when we are installing arch Linux?

The problem is that the DNC would never go for him or anyone like him, because he’s not a blatant neoliberal.

If they swap, it’ll be someone like Newsom.

Well, yes and no. Fleet size matters.

UK MoD estimated earlier this year that Russia had about 6 serviceable A-50 airframes; the US alone has 21 E-3s, while France operates 4, and NATO collectively operates another 18 - and that doesn’t factor in other newer and more advanced AWACS platforms.

Russia lost over 10% of their operable AWACS fleet by losing one plane. Russia is HUGE. Their AEW assets were absurdly stretched before, and now they will be even moreso. Any losses they incur will degrade their overall strategic AEW capacity in a very real fashion.

Huh. Even more layers of fuck. That’s awful :(

It’s code for “Muslims and brown people in general”. It’s just a fig leaf to cover the prejudice up.

Yeah, likely

It’s not about whether you or I or the person you’re replying to is in touch with reality or not. It matters what the vast majority of the predominantly idiotic swing voters think in this country, and in that context, last night’s showing was not inspiring for the “please let’s not have fascism” team.

And I am calling swing voters idiots nowadays because with what the parties, candidates, and stakes are these days, you would have to at best be a genuine idiot, and at worst an outright fascist/theocratic fascist to seriously consider voting for Trump.

I think it’s a bit more nuanced than that. They’ll obviously choose the most neoliberal candidate they think they can get away with, and try to pass him (and it will be “him”) off as “progressive”

Wow. That is an angle I was not aware of, and it definitely makes the situation even more shitty.

I mean it’s yahoo; they’ve been getting bots of one form or another to write their shit for a while now, haven’t they?

Lmao chill out, buddy. This is NCD. Im not being misogynistic; I’m simply using an idiom. We’re basically just shitposting about geopolitics.

I feel like you’re missing the point of my comment

Literally stopped a coup with big-dick energy alone.

Impressive.

Most impressive.

Feels like you’re pushing an agenda here that doesn’t really coincide with reality.

I mean, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, everyone didn’t immediately go “welp time to start up our World War”. Nor did that happen when Nazi Germany got rolling on Anschluss.

If WW3 starts, we’ll eventually determine some specific event that got it rolling irrevocably in that direction. Could be the annexation of Crimea in 2014, or the Ukraine invasion in 2022, or something in the future (PRC annexing Taiwan - or trying to and failing; North Korea finally pulling the trigger and trying to finish the Korean War; India and Pakistan finally coming to nuclear blows; any number of other things). Nobody will know until it’s already history.

Tech bros also just reinvented trains recently, so this is pretty appropriate

lol stfu B⁶
