I wouldn’t be surprised if it is all a facade to draw attention from the country’s internal political issues

What? No! I'm sure the fact they only ever seem to flare up when there's domestic issues to distract from are a coincidence.

They shot it at the crowd during a moment of silence.

See, I always thought this comparison falls flat, because No Russian and Spec Ops both give you the same amount of choice - either you complete the mission or not - and both give you no alternative way to proceed and no way to prevent it other than close the game. That Spec Ops makes you push buttons for the bad thing to happen rather than allow you to chicken out and be a passive rather than active participant is a point in it's favour.

Would that one island they and the Danes argue over count?

Hahaha holy shit!

That, nukes, NATO... It may have been rank anglophobia, but man, did history prove him right...

Goddamn Miller, shoulda domed him back on Stratis!

it is the near-universal consensus among economic historians and economists that slavery was not "a system irrationally kept in existence by plantation owners who failed to perceive or were indifferent to their best economic interests

Well, I'll be damned.

Killing himself, presumably.

...Especially since the alternative could be just charging him with treason or something.

I agree.

Except for the "this paper will be sad if you don't read it" one, that one's on point.

The angle is that the Overton window shifted so far right that the disagreement is now which foreigners (and secret, domestic foreigners) are to blame for the country's decline.

So what you're saying is, the complaint about China spying on people boils down to piracy?
