I know it wasn't your point, but I'd like to add that when some rightoid inevitably tries to give the impression they care about "a black woman being held back" and how racist the Democrats are it's imperative we ignore them. They're only trying to use our empathy against us with superficial grievances.
AOC is the moderate compromise at this point, IMO. I like her quite a bit, but I'd happily vote and fight for anyone campaigning on Nuremberg-style trials for every appointed federal official in this administration and every ICE agent deployed in the last year.
I see the /s, and it's kind of true. But man I really don't want to be put in a position where I have to exercise that particular right. I truly dread the possibility.
What excuse do they need? They could just do it now if they want. Killing random civilians isn't going to give them the popular support to maintain martial law. They're fucked in that regard either way.
Who cares, let the UK isolate more. Maybe blocking X is a good thing, I'm not wading into that conversation. But broadly the UK is clamping down on their Internet, so maybe they should just go full Great Chinese Firewall and get it over with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If the US takes Greenland, I fear that NATO will be effectively dissolved. Denmark probably invokes Article 5... does anyone come to their aid against the US? Seems unlikely. If they do, let's be real here, the US will just acquire new colonies. Either way, NATO means next to nothing; total Russian victory. Russia gets to sabotage/colonize western and then eastern Europe, and China gets Taiwan (if they feel like calling the US's bluff) and whatever else they want. The only truly sovereign countries left will be the ones with a hefty nuclear arsenal.
