Yup. Red states will suffer the worst, if it’s not the grants, it will be the measles.

They opened the doc and didn’t change the default for anything except the justification, left,. They changed to center, which is so cheesy.

I have one that says

Made You Look

Black Lives Matter

In that dumb fucking red and white color and font.

Just look at all the leaders and western institutions that say otherwise. Probably your own country’s intelligence and diplomatic heads, probably your chief executive. The list of institutions that agree with me is much longer than your list of loudmouths. The question you should ask is when did South Africa and Ireland start working for Iran?

Yes and in the Bosnian genocide there were not credible claims that the deceased were incidental casualties, which are permissive and expected in war. There were soldiers going door to door murdering families, lining them up and shooting them, sometimes hundreds at a time. You know, actual genocide.

Nothing like that has happened in Gaza, not even allegedly. There’s been some mistakes and some definite war crimes. That’s all war, though.

1% of Gaza is dead.

“Murdering all their population.”

Grow up.

What is this?

Oh I see what you’re saying, I thought the term was more literal than you’re suggesting.

I suppose the US president could launch a retaliatory strike based on a first strike that is still in the air, which is launch on warning, but the policy is to wait for a first strike and then have the president issue an order.

My understaning of launch on warning is any policy with no discretion, based on standing orders, not that it was necessarily strictly computer automated. The US policy is “hair trigger alert” which means that the strike systems are constantly in ready state, awaiting a valid order.

All I mean to say is that this is unlike the Russian system, which upon detecting an incoming missile issues valid, pre-approved orders to launch, with perhaps a human needed only to turn the key, but with no built in discretion once the pre-approved order is authenticated. The US does not have pre-approved launch orders.

I think counting on a coconspirator to become rational and brave is a hope. He’s president for life though and lives in a literal villain lair. Miles of impassible mountains with one way in patrolled by heat seaking drones and all matter of radio and seismic sensors, and an frigid ocean patrolled by everything up to nuclear submarines on the other. I’d put about as much faith in it as I would waiting around for natural causes or a jilted lover, a disgruntled chef, or whatever dumb luck might bring the world closer to peace.

To add to this, I think Russia has already committed to losing at least ten million people if hot war breaks out, and for Putin that would be like no big deal if it got him a good enough strategic advantage, whether it’s pushing back NATO or undermining democracy. That is to say, I hope it won’t take an utter humanitarian catastrophe to rock Putin’s goons hard enough to turn on him.

Yes thank you. What I said was that our warning system is not our trigger. Our triggers have people pulling them. I went back and hyphenated it properly for you.

Unlike Russian nuclear policy in this regard, known a Dead Hand aka Permitr, where the warning system is also the trigger.

I appreciate this comment because it’s the one thing that might stop Russia. It’s not going to be nuclear deterrence, it’s going to be internal and external pressure.

I don’t trust Putin to be rational though and neither should anyone else.

The US does not have a launch-on-warning system in place.

while the United States maintains the capability to launch nuclear forces under conditions of an ongoing nuclear attack, it does not rely on a launch-under-attack policy to ensure a credible response. Rather, U.S. nuclear forces are postured to withstand an initial attack. In all cases, the United States will maintain a human “in the loop” for all actions critical to informing and executing decisions by the President to initiate and terminate nuclear weapon employment.

They aren’t though. They can drop a few nukes without suffering nuclear retaliation. Any nukes fired at Russia automatically triggers a full scale Russian launch.

So while Russia could nuke others, others cannot nuke Russia, not without triggering the end of the world.

Are you stupid?

The booking banning party is that lies about covid and the weather is closer to reality than the left?

Yup. Stupid.

Mmmm panda.

Father of spray tan, wigs, and eye makeup.

Fat fucking loser.

Only one person matters and his name is Scott Q. Brown, Jr., Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Again. The claims are garbage, again.

What, he works in marketing?

One time Google’s snippet for Republican described Nazis. This enraged the Republicans and Google manually changed it. But it was auto generated from stuff the GOP was really saying, and still are.
