reminder that the Ottawa Treaty banning "landmines" actually only bans anti-personnel mines and still allows for "mixed mines, anti-tank mines, remote-controlled claymore mines, anti-handling devices (booby traps), and other "static" explosive devices"

the US was never a signatory to the Ottawa Treaty, though the Obama administration maintained a veneer of abiding by it... with the exception of within the Korean Peninsula (and keeping in mind that there's still a lot of different kinds of mines allowed by the Treaty)

Trump just overturned even that small gesture

and now Biden won't reimplement even that

i wouldn't put too many eggs in that basket, the games #metoo thread violently whiplashes between believing accusations of Youtube Personality A vs Youtube Personality B

that said, there's sometimes a discussion going on and people are attempting to work through how they feel about things which is a massive leg up on d&d writ large lol

They actually do probe the deniers though, and most people there try to at minimum start from the position of "believe women", which is so much better than DnDs position of "well maybe she shouldn't have gone to that media platform if she didn't want to be accused of lying!!" (A person in the metoo games thread did this about a woman going to a subreddit and got probed and yelled at lol).

Out of curiosity, are we envisioning the need for mines because we believe some sort of Red Dawn style invasion of US soil by the Chinese, who will conveniently forget to leave all their minesweeping equipment at home, or are we planning to invade and hold territory in PRC? Cause they're not super necessary if all we're gonna do is send cruisers and carriers just up to the nine-dash-line and wag our dicks at each other.

Having vacationed in both Laos and Sarajevo, I've got to say, two of the most beautiful places I've ever been in and I've literally had a panic attack about leaving a paved road to like, go look at a flower in the woods by the roadside. Real great way to live your whole life in your hometown I can only imagine it makes for very happy well adjusted people, even assuming no one ever has to carry a mangled child to the ER cause he played with an explosive made to look like a toy.

A real argument someone made in 2012 was Obama was hamstrung his first term with the need to run for re-election. And by being a lame duck he wouldn't be beholden to anyone, he could just govern his own way and drat the consequences! Voted Alexander/Mendoza cause I'm a racist, apparently.

I can't recall the number of stories I've read since we started the Forever War of military brass running war games, a too-smart-for-his-own-good Lt Colonel pulling some trick play guerilla warfare stuff, completely shutting down the US team, brass declaring a mulligan, and replaying it again with no 'cheating'. And then we eat dogshit for two decades but grind up a lot of civilians which proves our military might is still second to none.

Telling corps to stay out of politics but keep paying them seems like a bold strategy. Not sure why they need the GOP when the Democrats are right there but I guess there's value in creating the illusion of choice.
