Proud Christian Mom posted:Alexa show me how to completely erode whatever trust people have in American aid workers The Twitter post is not an accurate characterization of that article. The proposal is to train special USAID teams to work in hostile environments where they need to coordinate with military forces (the article gives special forces as an example) for security because currently they don't have the capability to do anything other than hole up in the capital if the country is dangerous.

Best Friends posted:Warren being a republican until 1996 is mind boggling and makes me think a lot less of her, Bernie is a million years old and won't be able to get anything done with the dem establishment hating him, and all the rest of the Dems don't seem to believe in anything, or worse. Such are the wages of the party culling anyone left of center for two generations - when the voters move left, they don't have much to hold on to. No one with Bernie's views could have survived the party. Democrat Jesus isn't a person. Find someone who has good ideas and appeals to enough voters that they show up and don't leave the presidential choice blank. Stop looking for the person who never hosed up or changed their mind.

Jarmak posted:The Twitter post is not an accurate characterization of that article. Why not just expand the active duty Civil Affairs part of SOCOM if these aid workers are going to be operating alongside other SOCOM elements and receiving similar training? Also, anecdotally speaking, I’ve heard more about USAID people not adhering to security protocols (like using armored vehicles) on field missions because they felt like it was distancing them from communities they were trying to serve. This sounds like budget dollars hunting, tbh

Just in case anyone missed it, that supreme court ruling reining in asset seizures was 9-0. Even Thomas and Kavanaugh agree ACAB

pantslesswithwolves posted:Why not just expand the active duty Civil Affairs part of SOCOM if these aid workers are going to be operating alongside other SOCOM elements and receiving similar training? My first thought was that this is what CA exists for but it kind of sounds a little lighter than that... I might have missed it but it didn't sound like they were actually training any USAID people to be shooters whereas CA is actually armed uniformed personal. Kawasaki Nun posted:It seems like this would make USAID workers higher priority targets in hostile environments for their potential knowledge of local military assets, communication protocols, etc etc? I don't know much about how USAID operates other than what the article states but it sounds like they don't work in these environments at all. As in, the idea isn't to make them safer in dangerous environments but rather allow them to operate in environments they currently can't enter at all. I'm mostly just saying it's nothing like the "USAID workers will be secret commandos" that I got from the twitter post.

Yeah but Thomas was trying to say that only US Citizens should be protected from unfair asset seizures, because of course.Godholio posted:No, but I feel like I just read about 4 pages of "I used to like Candidate X until I found out their favorite color was green so now they're poo poo." I like Bernie and Biden for what they are, or what they were in the case of Biden. But I don't think either of them should be elected President in 2020. The times have changed, and Biden hasn't.

Yeah in regards to the Warren being a republican up until 1996 thing, doesn't really bother me all that much when you look at what New England Republicans usually end up being and they're usually far and wide much different then their national brethren. Maine and New Hampshire excluded. Totally agree with the Democrat Jesus thing though. But I think it's unfair to cast any criticism of primary candidates aside as "you're just nitpicking and looking for Dem Jesus!"

Trump's election completely shattered my boundaries of what I considered electability on a national level so what the hell Bernie 2020. Promise to serve only 1 term to counter the concerns about age, clear Trump out of the way and hope for a younger progressive Dem in 2024?

Without a hint of irony to speak of, I'd really like to cite the famous GiP dick art book in a serious academic setting, if there's someone reading this thread that still has a copy and would be willing to help me out with some pictures and information for citations, I'd be ever so graciously appreciative.
