My guess would be that as France tried to recover from WWII they stubbornly tried to claw back their imperial holdings, basically starting the Vietnam War and probably some other more minor conflicts that I’m not remembering right now.
Not that you should expect good faith reasoning from .mlgrad.
It’s somewhat like Dark Souls in that there’s appeal in mastering the enemies you fight in predicting their moves and timing your own. Finding a weapon that jives with you, buildcrafting, etc. It is a circular gameplay loop in that you kill monster, cut them up, use pieces to make gear, use gear to hunt better monsters…but that’s not a bad thing I think.
It can be a more challenging game than it might seem on its face, especially Freedom Unite, and especially with the limited control schemes of the older portable consoles. I started with 4U and find I struggle going back to it after playing World and Rise.
Even with concealed carry, which is basically every state these days.
Even if its illegal to carry, don’t count on these thugs to follow the law.
Even if the person intimidating you is unarmed, they have been known to be supervised by concealed groups of thugs armed with anything from bludgeons to AR-15s in order to turn the tide against someone standing up to them.
Call the police, don’t get carried away on principle and put yourself in danger.
I’ll throw in with the other replies. Everything in this comment is political discourse from 2006. Disagreeing with the opposition’s policy and at most suggesting that they’re dishonest about it.
Right now we’re worried about the GOP and their figurehead bringing about one-party rule and loosing the military on their domestic opposition.
I’d want to wind the clock back too, even if it means having to eye roll at conservative rhetoric like this now and then.
80f in New Jersey right now. The northeast.
Supposed to be 85f tomorrow.
Your housing budget shouldn’t be 2/3 of your income.
Many people have no choice in the matter.
Straight to Leavenworth.
What is with people and self-snitching? Do they need attention that much?
Ukraine also uses many civilian-sourced vehicles, including for moving troops. It is not inherently a war crime. It is frankly necessary when both sides are losing vehicles to enemy action constantly.
It can sometimes speak to the suspect’s state of mind. A large number of historical firearms neatly displayed in a secured room is different from 2 dozen loaded AR-15s strewn about in every room of the house “in case BLM comes knocking.”
When you get to hundreds of guns it is quite often a situation of compulsive hoarding. Not necessarily criminal, but often careless (as leaving unsecured firearms around is careless), and indicative of mental health issues.
Neighbors describe this specimen as a “January-6-type-guy” and avoided him.
Speaking as someone with his own gun collection, weapon collecting will always be considered eccentric at best. You’re going to have to live with that stigma.
Give em a little bridal garter on their landing gear
Because if and when we get into a position to deal consequences to these freaks, I don’t want them to be able to say they were just goofy little guys who got in over their head. They may have many bouts of incompetence, but that’s not the core problem.
The problem is that the GOP and the people who make it are, willfully, a traitorous, criminal, and rogue organization that is no longer interested in playing by the rules.
incompetence
It’s malice.
I think DPRK’s hope is that at least some soldiers and officers will return with some modern combat experience, something that their military organization is dreadfully lacking. It could end up being a bigger problem down the road for ROK even if they lose a few thousand bodies.
Specifically he murdered POWs, once with a knife, and then threatened to kill any of his team that ratted on him.
He is kind of the poster child of the disdain conservatives have for modern rules of engagement. They still think he was falsely maligned and that he only “did what he had to do.” Of course, that’s why he was pardoned. They need people like him going forward.
I don’t have links handy right now, but take a look at DeSantis’ Florida State Guard.
I thought that the solution there has always been to bury it in desert bunkers for 10,000 years.
If we’re still around by the time that becomes too cumbersome we are hopefully space-faring and then yeeting it into Jupiter becomes an option.
Well it’s a salt rifle, not a salt assault rifle.
If we are unwilling to enforce consequences for what he is doing now, why mull about the potential to do so later? How bad does it have to get for us to take tangible action against Israel?
This sounds like something a White House press secretary would say to cover for the usual jaded American realpolitik motives behind what we are doing.
A white supremacist fever dream fanfiction in which American whites rise up under white supremacy and slaughter all people of color and “race traitors” in the country on the oft-cited “Day of the Rope.” It culminates with the movement taking control of the US nuclear arsenal and taking their holocaust international.
Asking a tankie what the best path forward is for the US is like a black man asking a Klansman for career advice. They want to see us burn, not be better.
