This amuses me. It comes off less they actually like Trump. And more they’re trying to remain relevant.
The Drama this will cause among the Puritan wing of the party will be particularly entertaining as they were the ones having the most complaints about Trump to begin with.
I believe he planned on doing so when his party could agree on a successor. Which hasn’t occurred as of yet.
To quote Gandalf in LOTR “There are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places of the world.”
There’s God knows how many cave systems and tunnels there. Lord only knows how deep they go.
I’ve met more than one Veteran who will swear on their life that there wasn’t just the Taliban and Islamists in the Mountains. And that the entire place was a Hellhole
Though Alexander never called Afghanistan “The Graveyard of Empires” though it’s helpful propaganda the Afghanis like to encourage.
The only people who’ve had excessive amounts of difficulty conquering or controlling it. Have largely been Modern European and Western powers. Largely because we restrain what tactics we consider acceptable.
Hell. Were it not for the CIA funneling Guns, Explosives, Trainers and Money into Afghanistan. It’s quite feasibile the Soviets would have succeeded.
There wasn’t even really a notion of an “Afghanistan” till the 1700s. Prior to that it was a backwater frontier of loosely affiliated tribes that changed hands regularly between various Empires. None of which fell due to their presence in Afghanistan.
The Panama Canal was an obvious one. The Panamanians haven’t been upholding their end of the deal. So it’s a major strategic weakness
Greenland was easier to disregard as lols. But it’s got a massive amount of Rare Earth Metals and other minerals critical for both industry and technological development. Not to mention serving a key feature of Early Warning and Missile Defense in the Cold War.
So it would also make sense to seek to add back to the collection
Congress is one of the most openly corrupt bodies in Government. If they’re saying there’s too much open corruption then that’s a metric fuckload of corruption
Wasn’t that the weirdo who’s connected to the Tranny Group linked to like 6 murders? Including the murder of a Border Patrol Agent?
It’s amazing the amount of countries deadset on suicide. Especially the amount with leaders elected specifically to you know. Not lead the country into collective suicide.
They may have been flight crew from the Helicopter. Even if they were left not particularly physically recognizable. The Equipment and Flightsuit. Whatever’s left of it. Would be recognizable enough.
The alternative is whoever it was readily recognizable as someone important. And they can’t or won’t share that yet.
About the only state out of the 50 that could theoretically go it alone as an independent country is probably Texas. And that’s a Maybe.
The others are to interconnected and reliant on each other to make for a truly independent country. Regardless of what idiots on the internet or ancient Legal Documents insist on.
Outside their “Doomsday” function. They often are used as Emergency Command Posts for Federal/Military response in the event of Emergencies and Disasters domestically. Coordinating Emergency Flights, Ground Operations etc.
The Sec Def also occasionally uses one to travel as the aircraft allows for a level of communication and control other executive aircraft can’t match.
Though it is worth noting. The E-4B isn’t actually the only “Doomsday” Aircraft in service. The U.S Navy has its own. The E-6B Mercury.
Someone who knew too much? Recently canned high up bureaucrat?
All I know is whoever was in the ATC tower is going to be in for the longest few weeks of their lives
747 or a Private Lear Jet or something?
Federal Employees: “We’ll show Drumpf by actually doing our Jobs!”
the mice had “significant developmental abnormalities,”
This could mean several things. They made either retarded Mice. Multi-limbed Genetic Abominations that were technically Mice.
Li claimed that the study was only focused on animals and that there are “no plans” to try to do it with humans.
I call bullshit. Someone somewhere is either actively doing it or making plans to do it. Even if this guy isn’t personally aware of such work
To paraphrase Jurassic Park. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could. They never stopped to think about whether or not they Should.
About the only countries that could feasibly support an expeditionary force in that lineup is France. And possibly the U.K.
Germany logistically can’t without outside assistance
And the one time they collectively tried to conduct a bombing campaign without American logistics. They ran out of ordnance after about 24 hours of sustained operation
Trumps response actually started collapsing the ruling Colombian Governing coalition. At least 1 Party withdrew already
Extremely generous. 8 months pay and full benefits? Many private sector jobs don’t offer packages this good for anyone but Board Members and the CEO.
You might try contacting embassies and consulates. They’ll probably at least give you an idea of where to start look
And reportedly those positions are going to be eliminated permanently.
Which would suggest potentially one or more American AI companies are going to have sudden “Breakthroughs” in the coming days. Which is really dripping out stuff we’ve developed already. In order to automate the handful of necessary functions of the eliminated positions.
The Terms are also incredibly generous. 8 months pay and full benefits. The overwhelming majority of the private sector doesn’t get terms that good. Unless they’re board members or the CEO.
That’s going to be fun for the Pilot to explain to his CO.
There was also the 30 round Kalthoff Repeaters. The First iterations of which Reportedly began appearing around the mid 1600s in service with Danish Troops in limited numbers. There was also numerous models of Repeating Air Rifles. Though Finicky and somewhat delicate systems deterred the adoption of repeating Rifles on a large scale.
Though Specialized Regiments were raised in a few countries and armed with varying models to various degrees of success
TBH. I’m a bit surprised they’ve waited so long to levy lawsuits
Protests and Civil Disobedience are considered sacrosanct here. As long as you’re the right kind of protester at any rate. Mostly based off of whoever is sitting their ass behind a fancy desk. And whether they’re up for reelection.
The past couple years. Seem to have been Westerners mostly finding out the last 100-150 odd years of Western political and social thought and development haven’t always led to particularly good results. Not to mention the prevalence of Sacred Cows used to justify why the negatives really aren’t such a bad thing or were really good things. Despite all evidence to the contrary in modern day.
