MAGA is all for the police state, until the police state raises a hand against them and then we need to defund the FBI. If you aren't pushing MAGAs goals, you're a traitor and need to be removed. The republican party can never get its poo poo together because McCarthy doesn't have Pelosi's ability to tell the more radical wing of her caucus to hush and accept what good things Pelosi's willing to give them. Try that on a radical republican and you're immediately declared a RINO and might as well be joining Sanders on his next speaking tour about the glories of trans-warping kids so they'll become good communards for all you belong in the party.

Google Jeb Bush posted:

Why do you think the Ethiopian civil war is getting less coverage and interest?

[spoiler]Imo various factors: farther from 'western' nations rather than smack on the doorstep of Central Europe, less crucial economic involvement with the west, all the sides involved except maybe the federal one are smallish as opposed to a near-peer war between a major regional power and a medium regional power, absolutely no clear 'good guys', difficult to explain concisely, substantially less comprehensive internet presence, not quite so exciting technologically to milstuff rubberneckers, etc etc etc


There was also a major media blackout for most of the Ethiopian war. Almost no information was allowed to leave the occupied zones to report on.

During the conflict, the Argentine Navy launched a total of five Exocet missiles at British warships, with four of them hitting their targets. The first two Exocet hits occurred on May 4, 1982, when the destroyer HMS Sheffield was hit and later sank due to the damage. The third Exocet hit occurred on May 25, 1982, when the cargo ship Atlantic Conveyor was hit and later sunk, resulting in the loss of several helicopters and other critical supplies. The fourth Exocet hit occurred on June 8, 1982, when the frigate HMS Glamorgan was hit, resulting in the loss of several crew members.

Yeah. No 'magic turnoff' buttons. Well, maybe the one that missed.
