Read the CIA simple sabotage field manual and try to tell me that isn't exactly the republican playbook. They're not interested in governing. What's weird is how few of them seem to be even doing it deliberately.
Don't feel bad about owning their stock, as you say they're basically in every big ETF, and the price discovery mechanisms for ETFs are lousy anyway so you never affected their shareholder value in any case.

That's funny shit though, if you talk about how HP Sauce named his cat a hard R slur, that's just good small talk.
I'm only fighting you on this because I like to acknowledge the darker side of our cultural touchstones. For example I still listen to Thriller, but I never forget MJ might have fucked those kids. I mean, come on. It's a bop.

Russia will not be seeking to get a firm NATO response in the form of troops mobilised; they will be seeking to carefully undermine confidence in article 5 with small offenses that "should" trigger it but (they hope) don't, causing fractures in the alliance that will allow them to be more brazen. They don't want to deal with blocs of countries, they have more leverage in 1:1 negotiations and will seek ways to force more of these on NATO members.
