Point the first: no. War is awful no matter how short or long it is, just no.

Point the second: folks said the first American civil war was going to be short, too.

In summary, no.

Ukraine is the only nation to ever give up their nuclear weapons (after the dissolution of the USSR). At the time, they were assured by the world that their security would be provided for if there was ever a need.

Idk, dying 15 years ago kind of seems genius today.

Hello

He did not un-rename it, he got a DBA. It’s still officially the Department of Defense until Congress changes the name by resolution.

Always has.

He is, but Nick Offerman would absolutely say this.

Ok, NYS…. here’s your chance to fix the CCIA before it gets fixed before you…

I moved away from MacOS in the past few years to finally full-time Linux after using it recreationally since the early 2000s. I’ve only really used Windows on work computers (or school back in the day).

Oh hey. You’re me! I’ve historically been a very loyal Mac user who played with Linux here and there, but I’ve been full time Linux for the past few two years.

India Walton would like a word with that statement.

Lol I’ve run several nodes like this. Have fun!

She doesn’t do it for me the way Beau did! She’s not bad, she just has a different way of delivering things that I don’t enjoy as much.

I agree that a Civil War 2 would be vastly different, all I’m saying is that it would be anything but short.

Parity is important. Why did the Soviets need nukes? Why did France?

The right sees the left as defenseless, because they see the left as the anti-gun crowd.

I will give up my 2nd amendment rights at the same time as my neighbor up the street with the “stop the steal” flags.

Comrade, I too am a member, but the way you shifted topics here is too abrupt to provide meaningful discourse. I like to lean into the “we keep us safe” slogan.

And to the doubters: yes, target practice, firearm safety training, and mutual aid support DOES make a difference in keeping communities strong, resilient, and safe. No one in the SRA is advocating for active resistance with force to anything or anyone.

Forgot to mention: we did 14 in one day, mostly in Rensselaer county… 14 is like three too many imo in terms of being overwhelmed, but it’s a lot of fun.
