All I'm trying to do is get people to see donalds head on mileys body in their minds. And maybe hear the song in his voice too.

Zeroisanumber posted:Well, what do you do about that? Because I have no loving idea. Seekhay posted:I don’t either and it scares me. Like really scares me. In the early stages of realizing you've been living under a vicious regime, probably the important thing to do is to just not give into despair, since that'd be an easy victory for the regime. And when your morale stabilizes, it'll be easier for you to get your bearings, connect with allies, plan, and execute. I think that even today, politics is still a local issue, and that you must first look at what's happening immediately around you and work on that level. I'm not much of an analyst or a prescriber of policy solutions, so I don't have a lot of specific advice about actions that you can take (but I try to follow certain public intellectuals who do that better). My niche is spiritual warfare, for lack of a less corny term, or the struggle to not give up in the face of unfavorable odds. There's much confusion and disorganization, and the extent of the Caufman fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Jun 11, 2018 |

The counterweight to Trump is going to be the states, which is why taking back state houses and governorships is probably as important if not more important than taking back the house. With enough states on board you can do poo poo like amend the Constitution.

Man my heart goes out to all the people in state, the alphabet agencies and various apparati of America Foreign policy and the people who have spent their entire lives in that field working on whatever issue or problem that interested them. From the people in suits behind a nice desk debating policy to joe making GBS threads in a bag to keep eyes on someone or something to have your life's work compromised and broken in such a way that it may never be fixable is devastating. Look at the south China Sea, that genie isn't going back in the bottle. The president is openly pushing Russian policy and US credibility throughout every facet of life in the world is damaged irreparably. Can you imagine what trying to recruit sources or assets is like now? Or in two years? I have a friend whose entire life's work was NKOREA and all of it is just loving worthless and ignored. No one in the white house gives a gently caress about anything.

It's not just the intelligence agencies, it's happening all over. There's been a slew of highly successful, very important military health contracts or government programs that in the last year have found themselves canceled. Stuff that was started in the GWB/Obama presidencies but not canceled as part of traditional administrative turnover. Stuff that was created so that when the next war happens, we don't gently caress up treatment for things as badly as before. Oh well! gently caress are troopz I guess.

That Works posted:Mr. Putin what do you most wish for? -To see NATO destabilized and its most powerful member advocate for us instead. A low-effort post regarding the 2% NATO spending stats that get tossed around: 1. 2% is a goal, not a mandate. 2. 2% is a highly imperfect measure and was basically born out of being easy to measure rather than being an effective measurement of how much you are contributing to collective defense and readiness. 4. It includes figures like overhead (civilian staff, buildings, senior staff) as well as items like military pensions and health costs. So you could end up paying 2% while building zero new capability and having moderate capabilities to begin with in comparison with a nation that has less military benefits. 5. Spending on things like infrastructure that can handle military vehicles and spending that generally aids with stability like economic programs, internal policing, civil border control, and customs/contraband enforcement generally do not count. 6. The US likes to count every dollar we spend as a contribution toward NATO, even if it's on a plane, ship, soldier, whatever that will never see the North Atlantic or Europe. Thank you, PACOM, for your contributions to NATO! 7. If you run an exceedingly efficient program and field more forces at a greater bang for your buck than your neighbor, and you spend 1.5% GDP, and they spend 2.1% GDP, guess who's considered the slacker? There's plenty to be said about Europeans being able to credibly defend themselves with less US support or with the understanding that it takes time to get US forces to Europe, but the 2% stats get thrown around with zero context.

Doesn't Japan manage to still have the 8th largest defense budget in the world despite not spending more than 1% of it's GDP on its military.

psydude posted:Wannabe French people are the wrong kind of rear end in a top hat. lol, someone's never heard of the vandoos or the pararchute regiments "Somalia incident". Also there's a reason why Matterhorn and every other piece of Vietnam War fiction includes a Canadian from either Vancouver or Alberta. Edit: For the unaware, people in Alberta and Vancouver to a lesser extent get really gung ho about American wars for some odd reason. With the exception of Iraq, my family up there get really excited at pretty much any American intervention. Iraq was a tipping point though cause I remember my grandparents being super ok with the idea of me commissioning and going to Afghanistan but Iraq suddenly made them want me to not do that, move up north and enlist or commission with the CF instead.

So is the Worm in Singapore to introduce his two friends, or is he off leading a funeral for roadkill or whatever? Although, if future children have to learn about one crossdressing Trump administration affiliate, I'd rather it be Rodman than Giuliani.
