Oh yeah, what is Grimes up to?

It’s not often a woman breaks a man so badly he has to find a surrogate for his “x”

I just want to remind everyone that those who call for war have never experienced it, and the closer you experience it, the less you want it.

Did you… “sign the minerals deal” after, as the kids say these days?

So let’s game this out.

US soft power will decline, and regional powers and China will fill the vacuum. Europe can slow the US fall by actively welcoming China to bid on US port access, thus making everyone play nice a few more years, but we need to look for a soft line of Chinese power in the Philippines around 2050. Saudi Arabia can still collapse into a caliphate at some point, but Israel will remain a propped up power blocking Iran no matter what. If trump sold nuke secrets to SA that will be a really tense area, and Europe and Israel will have to keep them from any uranium from Iran or others.

China should definitely push space partnerships in the coming years with Europe and Russia, and while SpaceX will be hard to beat, they will face subsidized competition to keep them from being the only game in town, requiring you to drink a cup of US crazy with every launch. So space launch costs will go down (by SpaceX continuing and other countries subsidizing), ISS will deorbit, China will build a moon base, America will talk about how dumb that is because they didn’t do it.

China will become a co-leader of research with Europe, it will become common for US grad students to leave the country to go to good schools in their field.

Robert Evans is a bisexual Texas guy who decided he was going to report on war, so talked his way onto a military plane with other reporters as a stringer when Beirut was a place for barracks bombing. An experienced combat photographer took him under his wing and kept him alive. Evans has walked on concrete smelling the crushed dead from the collapsed structures. I know all this from memory (correct me if I messed anything up) because I researched his background a bit, because his “It Could Happen Here” podcast - about how a US civil war would go down - is very articulate and savvy, and I was curious how he gained that insight.

The only thing more articulate and savvy could possibly be the products and services that support his program. If you lurk on Lemmy, Robert, glad you’re here. Always wished I could hear a conversation between you and Robert Baer for a few hours… partially because I would expect only the best alcohol and other substances to be served in that room.

I give $2 for a pizza, $1-2 if I’m picking up to go. Usually I go 15-20% for standard service but rarely tip over $30 a server unless the meal was outstanding.

He must have heard it in bound. Imagine russians for the next 20 years after the war when they hear a drone.

Please be good…

Please, this is the artistic effluence that this form derives its strength from. Note the bold lines and sissonne idiomatic entry of the first panel, into the grande allegre (metaphorically, of course!) of the following two panels. A masterpiece, contrasting the fragile effervesce of military hardware in the last panel with the robust strength of the egos of the politicians in the first.

When Britain started delivering manpads, putin should have said he was joking and pulled back.

Look at this guy eating chicken caviar.

Clearly the strategy is to have russia buy american weapons, so all weapons on both sides are made in the us.

This is similar to being bisexual, you double the playing field if you can have both sides.

I can’t imagine being a member of the current us government and know nothing you say matters, so you’re just kinda there because trump wouldn’t come.

For perspective of others, I will spend $200 on quality shoes, $100 on a good belt, $400 on a kitchen appliance. I tend to shop a bit, both for quality and then price. It helps that the kids are older and don’t break as much any more.

As I’ve started growing my wealth I’m able to buy quality things that last, and it’s led to the bizarre feeling that on black friday, I don’t need any of the door buster deals. You’ve probably heard of the Vimes boot theory of wealth, and I’ve seen it play out over time. I even re-sole good boots now.

Added you as a dependent!

I feel like you’re either just starting to learn rhetoric or military theory, and I am rooting for you either way, there is a lot to learn ahead of you.

Both of you make really good points, and I feel using blockchain would fix these issues in my posts.

A bully always makes sense when the other kid can’t punch back. Aircraft carriers are a wonderful tool as long as small actors don’t have the asymmetric ability to sink them.

Why would anyone be a US envoy now, nobody cares what you say, because your boss doesn’t care what you say.
