Russia will just send missiles and AD systems and tanks and planes and infantry fighting vehicles along with hundreds of, uh, "mercenary instructors". Also share satellite and other intelligence.
As we all know, this is just assisting the victims of aggression and isn't being involved in the war directly, just like in Ukraine.
Congress can't make more tanks or shells or especially people willing to go and die in Ukraine.
If they could send regular troops into Ukraine without massive unrest, they would have done so already; But they can't, cause only Ukrainians are stupid enough to die for globohomo en masse.
And even then, as this video shows, not even them.
It's not really private. And it's not public, obviously. It's a sick amalgamation of both and it serves an aspiring aristocracy that wants to bring back feudalism 2.0.
It's exactly like the old feudalism except gay and retarded, where all the serfs spend their time in a metaverse drugged up to their gills on SSRIs
It might not be THE solution, but it would be a start.
6900 congressmen with no office in Washington without a huge paycheck from the government would mean actual representation of everyone in the legislative branch. You'd still get special interests trying to buy people, but buying 7000 people all over the country and keeping them inline with the central party line is going to be way more difficult.
Especially if they risk getting punched in the face by their angry constituents.
What this map shows above all else is that Congress isn't filled with Representatives as envisioned by the Founding Fathers, but rather the political class.
Your Representative should actually represent you as close as possible. That cannot ever happen with only 435 people. Each one "represents" close to million people, which is total bullshit.
1 Representative per 50,000 people, the way it was conceived, and Congress will start working the way it ought to. If it isn't done, Congress remains forever an elite club that represents special interests and lobbying groups.
There is infinite information on everything, available from an unprocessessible amount of sources.
The question isn't about availability, it's about trust and correctly judging which sources of information to trust.
Trusting those institutions which were created to safeguard information integrity isn't a sign of low intelligence, but more like a lack of experience with having your trust broken
Intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with compliance.
You could have an IQ of 200 and be easily pressured into compliance or an IQ of 80 and be an ornery fuck who never complies with anything on principle.
Please let's stop confusing "smart" with all other virtues and vices.
Junk food may not be as toxic as cigarettes (honestly not sure), but the current attitude towards the poison we eat has to start changing in the same way cigarettes were slowly made a taboo.
Example: as a kid, I loved breakfast cereal, obviously, because it's formulated to be hyoerpalatable and irresistible. And the Saturday morning cartoon commercials for that poisonous slop made sure it was my go to breakfast. And then my teenage years were a constant struggle with my weight because no one tells you that eating pounds and pounds of sugar every week in the form of "this complete breakfast" is going to be really bad for you. I literally did not have a single fuckin clue that breakfast cereal and orange drink are poison.
People need to be told all this ultra processed slop isn't food. It's actually really bad for you. Just like cigarettes. And the same advertising bans should apply.
Expertise can only be judged by other experts in the same field and not always even then.
Meaning that absolutely everybody outside the given field literally cannot tell an expert from a talking ass.
Since being a talking ass is orders of magnitude less difficult compared to going through the effort of gaining expertise, about 99% of "experts" are thus necessarily talking asses.
Bombing a bunch of inbred death-cult fanatics living in a desert isn't the show of strength you think it is. They've been bombed for about 10 years straight at this point and it hasn't stopped them. And won't stop them
Not when they're only too happy to "be martyred" while being supplied by Iran.
And starting a war with Iran is just the standard neocon wet dream, a continuation of Israel's forever war in the middle east using American soldiers for their meat grinder.
The 2 trillion budget deficit and the corruption it enables didn't actually go anywhere. Especially when it comes to entitlements and defense spending, which are the two largest spending categories.
Healthcare, education and defense are ridiculously overpriced because they are burdened by an enormous systems of useless parasite administrators put in place by useless byzantine regulations.
How much do you spend to send your kids to school or to go see a doctor? And yet the US government is spending more per capita on health and education than just about any other country, even where those are "free". And it's a shit education and covid shots for everyone for your money.
None of this is changing. It'll probably get worse because those useless parasite administrators sucking everyone dry are nervous that their supply of the people's blood might be restricted
