Congress "declaring war" is a relic of the past. Every conflict since WWII has been unilaterally decided by the executive.

Russia probably isn't much of a concern right now.

China...we wouldn't overextend a conflict to the point where China gets involved, right? ...Not again? ...For the third time?

The only reason you people care so strongly is because of the "51st state" crap. You're the same small, scared little people that every American is, that any person is, really.

If you think upending your life to start an insurgency on behalf of other people, people on the other side of the planet even, should be expected behavior, why don't you slide on down here and show us how it's done? Let's see your face and a body count on CNN.

...yeah, I think the part where I said "we will need to kill enough Nazis until they are physically unable to carry out Nazi shit" painted that picture.

They will simply escalate violence with more violence. Our security apparatus has two decades of experience with counterinsurgency to snuff out people who choose this.

This is not a "violence isn't the answer" post, more of a clarification. Expecting to break the enemy's will through terror is always a fool's errand when doubling down/locking in is an option. This will end when one side has killed a sufficient amount of the other side to where they can no longer complete their objectives.

I remember reading somewhere that the Third Reich was pervasively cooking the books and scamming their own financial sector to support their war and genocide, basically from beginning to end.

The secret police will find the money.

Seems like a signal jammer is something someone would want if they wanted to fight back against an occupying force that heavily relies on radio communication.

The Duttons are the kinds of people who would buy up this land and brandish guns to keep people off of it. Just cause there's bigger fish doesn't mean they don't eat smaller fish.

The land will get sold by the thousand acre parcel to oil, mineral, and lumber interests to be ruined. "Affordable housing" my ass.

For everyone's awareness, Congress hasn't voted on a Declaration of War since 1942. Every single conflict we've been involved in since WWII has been initiated by some sort of executive fiat, with Congress claiming authority over war through "appropriations and oversight." This particular issue has been fucked for decades.

Typically that is a customer-provider relationship, and ideally (but probably not in reality) that relationship is tightly regulated. At best this move is a breach of ethics.

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power

-Benito Mussolini, some dude who probably knew something about fascism

Is this what happens when you're going to Lose the baby?

Would any psychologist risk their entire career and criminal liability to grant anyone a pass to obtain a firearms license? For what is ultimately a hobby?

"Because once we have that power, we'll use it on you if you speak out."

I think basically everyone except North Korea is. Anyone who allows goods and people to move through their borders with any level of freedom can theoretically get attacked like Russia did.

American Christianity is a death cult straight out of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign as the transparently evil bad guys. They should not be allowed to steer modern society in any way.

Which is probably why .ml is unhappy about it.

We need to bring back the 1800s practice of our elected officials actually throwing hands and beating each other senseless with canes, none of this euphemism crap.
