I’m not familiar with the Ottoman case. Cuba ig I see an argument for. It didn’t occur to me because the Bay of Pigs isn’t usually thought of as a war and it mostly wasn’t us on the ground. In any case, it was such a slap dash affair that it only makes my argument stronger
This is me but obsessively analyzing the artistic merits of low brow mediums like animation and video games
Oh it’s absolutely beautiful. For the first time in a year and a half, I’m not fucking ashamed of my tribe; and I look forward to feeling similar about my government.
Yoo. Ess. Ay.
And then we take a song you wrote to mock us and sing it as a celebration of that time we kicked your ass.
The club of those who beat us includes only three members, two of which were proxy wars we ultimately weren’t willing to commit to. Not exactly a record that screams “easy target”
Well that’s the wonderful thing about being a cult leader. You’re the only one who can solve the problem. So you get whatever you want, you get all the credit when things go well, and when everything goes wrong… you become everyone’s scapegoat. It’s not a valid excuse, but it is human psychology.
Man I feel bad for that kid. The wife should know better, but the kids just there
Quite frankly, trying to flip congress within the current system is the only play rn. Even if the game is rigged, there’s nothing we can do about it until the average people both see it and care enough to do something.
As for calling you a Russian troll…surely you can put together the implications there
Not the commenter, but I’m guessing the logic is less should and more will. We live in a world where most elites are sociopaths attracted to power like moths to light, and will always try to do the maximum they think they can get away with to benefit themselves. Proper political systems don’t get rid of this because its a human nature thing, they weaponize it by organizing power structures to align those interests with sections of the people
The prions might make a better president
That is unironically half the problem. We have a totally mythologized view of our own history that has made us damn near incapable of repeating it
I’ve always found it ironic how much we actually have in common with our adversaries
I hate that I laughed at that
Let’s not. I like the solar systems orbits exactly as they are
It would be if you can find an elegant control scheme. Problem is, it has to be mapped to something, so you either can’t move or can’t use any buttons while altering it
Rebellion is just when you attempt regime change with violence, it doesn’t require being morally in the right
That does not change my point. Despite- or perhaps because of- their efforts, the average American couldn’t even tell you accurately when the Civil War happened from memory. It’s once again not strictly their fault they don’t know about those movements.
It’s not. That’s the problem with them
Don’t forget the GOP, who has since the beginning of the conflict been doing everything they can to undermine American support
I think I’m more suspicious of Christians than Jews on that front (among many many others)
It could be both. But yeah she’s clearly weaponizing it at minimum
