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.
Yeah, it'll have to be done eventually. I'm ok with this. I don't trust his intentions, but the result of getting rid of it will be good for us in the long run, I think.
Right, which is why I'm surprised the solution is posited as "no more recessed door handles" rather than "failsafe mechanical mechanism". Either something is missing here, there was a failure of imagination from the author, or it was disingenuous framing.
Yeah, ok. Not sure I really buy that. Seems like the kind of administration that would just say stuff and pin the blame on anyone just to say they got the perp. Convenient that the guy is already dead with no trial needed.
"I can fix her."
