I said before that if Ukraine capitulates, they will throw every Ukrainian that has so much as spit shined a boot for the UAF into a labor camp. They will definitely need the manpower from such an enslavement after sacrificing so many of their own lives.
Check back in 10 years to make sure this woman isn't either dead or had her sentence surreptitiously extended.
It didn't matter if a German citizen supported the Third Reich or didn't care and just wanted to run his bakery. Bombs still fell on his town, foreign troops still fought through his streets. This shit affects you whether or not you have the intelligence to comprehend it or the courage to confront it.
At the risk of being banned, I hope this guy gets the Mushroom Kingdom treatment. He has the potential to snuff out exponentially more American and global lives than the most bloodthirsty immigration detective or prosecutor.
In the grand scheme of things Leon is just one of many douchebags. One that has been publicly grating to deal with for the rest of the gang. They've probably been planning an ouster against him for a minute, it's just a matter of squeezing what use they can out of him in the meantime.
If it gets out of hand Elmo will be left holding the bag and likely forced out. The Trump admin will continue on like nothing happened, they won't lose an ounce of support, and DOGE will just be a short footnote on our decline to fascism.
That's a stretch. Normal citizens buying some nominal amount of shares of Company XYZ 5 years ago doesn't mean there's a conflict of interest now, especially if they were sold just as long ago. For if someone might run for office? 99.5% of people won't.
Immigration is their excuse to build up the security and internment apparatus. Building the prisons, the logistics routes, and training, radicalizing, and legitimizing armed goons takes time. Once the machine is running well, then they will turn it loose on everyone.
Can we free him?
Not without significant bloodshed and a high chance of failure. Which the person in question might not even want or agree to go along with.
I think 2 is technically the better game, but it is marred by its mtx and really half-assed support after the studio got shaken up.
I honestly have no interest in the 100% future setting of KF3. I like the weapons modeled after real ones, not the LED schlock of the HMtech or whatever.
I love the militant far-right's obsession with disabling the power grid. Like yeah, if you took out my town's power for months, ground my job to a halt, and put the vulnerable in danger, I would take up arms...against you.
He and his circle already made millions on puts and invested the winnings back into a dipping market, now it's time to ease off the gas to drive the value back up. Repeat every week or two.
American "commitment" to anything is worthless now more than ever. Like giving cash loans to a bombed out drug addict you can only expect pain by penning deals with us.
It is also about the theater, and the normalization of having the military physically putting their hands on immigrants. They want the National Guard of red states doorkicking for immigrants eventually, P2025 lays that out plainly.
To him it doesn't matter how foolish it is, how much money it would cost, or how many lives, Mexican or American, it would grind up. If it's a viable vehicle for him to consolidate emergency powers, rile up a fervent base, and become an American Emperor, he will take it.
It may start out relatively focused as a counterterror/counterinsurgency op...but once he pisses off the Mexicans enough for them to fight back, he'll have his casus belli (to his base) for open war. The unrestrained conservative order of battle will make the invasion of Iraq look positively pleasant. It was very common for war hawks back then to pine for the day we could just wipe Iraqi cities off the map and "let god sort them out". It'll be less Fallujah, more Gaza.
If he can get away with launching a Special Military Operation against the cartels and then Mexico as a whole, then Greenland and Panama are next. Then Canada. Then god knows who else. Maybe our war chest will bottom out by then, but that chest runs very deep.
Trump just moved an entire Stryker brigade, vehicles and all, to the Mexican border.
I think the clearest way to declare himself President for Life, or at least grab a third term, is to invade Iraq Mexico for WMDs fentanyl, provoke a war, and bend everything in his favor in a system he's already fixed.
We Americans need to come to terms with the fact that this is how the rest of the world sees each and every one of us now. Either as an orcish, violent animals, or as selfish, cowardly quislings and bystanders. It doesn't matter who you voted for, or who you sent $20 to here and there. We are giving our consent every single day we are not physically fighting back against this insanity. And that stench takes a generation to wash off.
Fun WWII parallel: after the war, reprisal murders against the German diaspora were a problem in Europe. I've seen it claimed that half a million Germans were killed this way, but nobody really knows because the public sentiment was so against Germany after the atrocities they committed. People kept quiet, police shrugged their shoulders and moved on.
Ignorance is not an excuse. Cowardice is not an excuse. It may not be your fault, but it is your responsibility to do something.
