Those positions I would imagine are close to the enemy. I don’t know how his new buddy Kim would react if thousands of his soldiers suddenly defected. It’s not a guarantee they will, but it’s more likely to happen if they use them that way.

Erdoğan just lost 43 stress.

Also I’d argue us not defending his country was what allowed the second World War in the first place.

What I’ve heard: the nukes are about internal stability as well as defense. If someone wants to overthrow the Kims they want china to have to be worried about a civil war there, so they will support the current rulers government (more than they already do). An unpredictable nuclear armed state on your border is scary.

Can we say 4 mega meters? I know I’d think millimeter if it was mm,but if it was Mm would you assume there was a mistake or would it make sense?

Anyway, they were typically civil. The most uncivil things I saw were in the reviews where people would be complaining about people giving a show 1 star in other reviews.

It’s going to be a fight to get your future back. Don’t get comfy. They need to do the work to fix what was broken. I assume, not a brit

Weird. He said isis wouldn’t exist 30 days into his presidency almost 8 years ago. Isis still exist. Anyone who says Trump did what he said he was going to do is delusional.

Yeah, it was a giant company town.

We had this conversation in 2016 about beating isis in 30 days. Turned out he lied about the plan. Besides if biden had to follow trumps plan that would mean that it was trumps plan right? It would be a better argument for trump to get into office. It would mean that biden has to do what trump says to get things done.

The truth is, Trump is lying about having a plan like in 2016. I didn’t fall for it then. I won’t fall for it now. If you’re falling for it again, it’s pathetic.

No one is made for war… except 007 after he caught that brain eating amoeba from the gulf coast.

Why are people down voting you? This is a great idea! Give guns to the government that administers Puerto Rico. I’m sure they will be willing to hand those guns right back… to the government that administers Taiwan.

I think you have Azerbaijan and Armenia flipped.

I’ve played that hoi4 scenario as Czechcoslovakia and the only reason it’s winnable is because it’s a game and the ai makes huge mistakes.

I’ve been comparing this invasion of ukraine to Czechcoslovakia since almost the start, but there are differences. Not really between the justification or the foreign policy that the Russian government is using. Between the relative strength of Czechcoslovakia v nazi Germany and ukraine v russia. Also between ukraine’s negotiated treaties. Ukraine appears stronger than Czechcoslovakia but never obtained a defensive pact with a single other country. The Czechoslovaks had a defensive pact, but it was quickly abandoned. I still see letting them fall as akin to appeasement, some vying for leadership positions have suggested that abandoning defense pacts is justified sometimes. If it’s justified sometimes you may try to find a hole to make it justified all the time. All ukraine had been promised was weapons and we may be in a position where we tell ourselves we did our part even if we didn’t do enough.

I don’t know how many Syrian merchants would be available to ukraine. I do feel like russia may be more willing to abandon Syria than lose to ukraine. Even without russia there will still be fighting for awhile between the groups in Syria. It’s just that the russian horse in that race will no longer be in debt to them. This isn’t good for russia I’m sure, but russia has already abandoned allies for this war. Armenia was calling in the equivalent to article 5 on russia again and again. They were left to rot. I don’t know how long it would take this to pay off. I can see putting pressure on them, but if you break them in Syria, it may just cause russia to pull all the troops from there and bring them to ukraine. There’s a careful dance to play here.

Edit, autocorrect changed mercenaries to merchants

The US intercepted just about all the missiles. Israel owes the US for that, they shouldn’t get to make demands.

The nazis argued that the Czechs did, just like you are arguing the Ukrainians did. Every argument you make for this war on Russia’s side is an argument the nazis made for themselves. This I haven’t seen anyone provide me anything else. Only ban me from ml’s news for “trivializing nazism”. Ironic because denying the nature of nazi foreign policy does a lot to trivialize it.

We could have dedicated effort to normalize relations and build good will. There really was a win win there. Instead we threw it away for internal political points

Maybe he meant Iraq? I think Afghanistan taught us a lesson in what we’ve become. We were a country that could bomb another into the ground, but then rebuild it into a functional society. Regardless of the morals of that, japan and south korea are functional if unhappy. Unhappiness describes life, but I feel like the contracting on top of contacting and the line goes up profit obsession infected out zeitgeist so deeply, we are no longer capable of rebuilding what we destroy.
