  • Wait for the tariffs to stop eating into the profit margins.

  • Run down the beach to see how far I can get across the lake before I start sinking.

  • So’ve you thought about this before?

  • Seepy.

  • The US attacking Greenland has got to be treason, right?

    The North Atlantic Treaty is a full on treaty ratified by congress, not just some rinkydink international “agreement” like the Paris climate accords. A ratified treaty supersedes all other state and federal law second only to the constitution.

    Article 5

    The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and…

    Now I’m no constitutional scholar, but I’m pretty sure that “all” means “ALL”. Wouldn’t an attack against Greenland be equivalent is the eyes of the law (whatever that’s worth nowadays) to an attack against the US, even if perpetuated by USians?

  • Honestly, maybe is just my experience of being and living among well adjusted short folk, but it doesn’t seem to be the extreme shorties who have the insecurity issues. We either DGAF or revel in it. It’s the guys on the left side of the meaty chunk of the bell curve who have the “i’m oNlY 5’8” i’lL NeVeR WiN At sPoRtS Or gEt a hOt gIrLfRiEnD” complex. Very mid energy, literally.

    Edit: typos

  • Theodahad has entered the chat.

  • I don’t think so. Iirc, there is no sanction against Russian tanker ships, the sanction is on the Russian oil they carry. I’m no expert on maritime law, but I raising the Russian flag puts it under the auspices of the Russian government, so Russia has the right defend it under international law (it had a submarine escort) and lay claims against crimes against the vessel. It makes capturing the vessel a choice to get into a (additional) political entanglement with Russia.

    This incident may also have implications to the convention of freedom of navigation . I don’t know. Again: not an expert

  • 🎶Siggy’s mom has got it going on🎵

  • filled with Venezuelan oil, not Russian oil.

    And a second tanker in the Caribbean

    Edit: not even filled with oil, it tried to dock in Venezuela, couldn’t because of the embargo, and got chased across the Atlantic. It changed its registration to Russian last week and even painted on a Russian flag mid-pursuit to attract Russian protection.

  • The cruelty is the point.

    There is a special place in hell for modern manufacturers of devices that have a USB-C port, but won’t charge from a modern USB-C charger.
