Seems like our military members are going to start turning on ICE soon as well. Not a good look to violently detain three marines siblings father.

Awesome thanks, will try out kubuntu and see how it goes!

I do a lot of game development if that makes any difference, using Unreal.

Oh, thats a solid idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

That would make sense. I guess from my point of view, I'd be pretty pissed if I was Iran right now. At least 9 of their nuclear scientists were assassinated last week, and now their nuclear sites have been all bombed. That's as good of a declaration of war as youre going to get. But I can understand why they wouldn't want to wage an all put war if they dont think they're prepared for one.

Apparently not. since its so obvious to you, why dont you use your big brain and share with the class?

I have no idea. They have a nuclear program, so I assumed they have a somewhat sophisticated and modern military.

Same way the U.S. flew war planes all the way to Iran.

Maybe, there are a lot of people who would probably not be too keen on doing that through the chain of command. Nukes aren't something you just pull out a brief case and push a button with.

Why not attack the U.S. directly? There are plenty of coastal bases in the U.S.

I feel like it would hurt a whole lot more if they were to go after something on U.S. soil...not that I exactly want that. Being bombed at home sounds terrifying.

Im just curious what the logic was behind this.

Ubuntu is a linux distro. I dont get the joke you're trying to make.

Israel must have a lot of money to throw around for countries to be acting this way.

Yeah, we already have that. But the power to authorize war lies with congress. The president is still the commander and chief of the military and ultimately makes choices on when and where to place troops. We do not want wannabe dictators just unilaterally deciding they want to go to war. If you think they should have that power, I dont know how else to say this other than, you're an idiot.

You actually want Trump being able to unilaterally make decisions about when we do and dont go to war? That is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard someone say.

We tried to control Afghanistan and Iraq for like 2 decades and look how that turned out...do we really have that much experience? If so, we didnt learn a whole lot.

Exactly! Without the news, what am I supposed to do, look at cute cat and dog memes all day? Uh, no, there are only a finite amount of those on lemmy..

Whelp, guess we are venturing closer to civil war territory. I honestly hoped not, but this is not a good sign.

No, I havent just accepted it. They've created a situation in rhe U.S. where Healthcare is tied to the employer, and social safety nets are nearly nonexistent for a lot of people. So, we are forced to accept lower quality of job benefits in order to see a doctor so we dont die. Basically, its a systemic issue, not an any one person issue.

But, next time you feel like spouting off about what "America's just accept", you could maybe do a little bit of research first.

States rights doesn't apply here bcz reasons.

That and our exceedingly obnoxious self importance as a species. We think we own the Earth, but we actually just live here, and we're gonna find out real soon how fun it is when nature decides our climate is no longer stable.
