It's had some exercises abruptly canceled. A possible indicator.

It's gonna be tough; PEI is windy, and my wife might not support be building an enormous free floating airship to hold my books...

Any pre season stuff to get a bonus? I usually watch the Jay's spring training but after the World Series... too raw. Glad WBC is a baseball start

F1 Quali (recorded from last night) is on. Team Canada is playing at the World Baseball Classic at noon. Chili dogs and beer are in the fridge.

My bread and circuses are back, and shit are they doing heavy lifting right now.

I think the rest of the world needs to do something to force Americans to act.

Too many of them either support their system or think it's redeemable for real change to be made

Complete BDS might work, but that would require a level of global solidarity and economic independence that doesn't exist

Here's the thing about nuclear weapons: when you have them, you shift the entire onus of curtailing your government onto the body politic.

In short: the only people who can stop this are the American People.

Very much so

Basically the metal embodiment of ungentlemanly warfare.

This has not been lost on me and holy shit I wish it was.

Lol tbf neither am I though!

I have more time for Khan than the Donald tbh

Definitely we're the baddies but I don't believe it's a world war YET. I expanded on this is my last article but we're short a couple ingredients

Yeah it's just what NATO is doing to them.

Vasili Arkhipov we need you right now.

Oh... oh

What's the date on that? I'm the wrong type of nerd

WW3 right on schedule per the Star Trek chronology.

It'll be fine

If I wasn't so massive a stoner that staying up past 11 was physically impossible, I'd say this is what keeps me up at night.

There is a real danger these conflicts fuse into one. Then we get the world war everyone is so excited for.

Yes exactly; this is exactly why I point this shit out.

There's no fairness, sportsmanship or anything but cold blooded murder in war. War itself is the crime, the individual acts of normal war are symptomatic.

But how have the fake rules changed? This logic would have every unit commander in the Argentinian military in 1982 branded a war criminal.

In what way has it changed to make this illegal and if it did, why has nobody ever been charged for it?

The 9/11 attacks were terrorism, which is legally distinct from a war crime, Al Qaeda being a non state actor.

I'm gonna be honest but if you're spending any part of your day trying to rationalise people wearing or permanently inscribing themselves with Nazi symbolism you probably shouldn't be around the general public.

I've never seen a more obvious military disaster play out in real time

Get your draft paperwork filled out Zoomers.
