In his first term he wanted to restore our nuclear stockpile to peak Cold War levels.

I can imagine two reasons why he might have changed his mind beyond being a feeble old man:

  1. The pressure of toying with World War III actually started to get to him during the Ukraine talks.
  2. He finds the idea of his potential vassal states being nuclear-armed offensive. Guaranteed he will not get rid of a single American warhead, nor will he pressure his employer to get rid of his. Everyone else needs to "vouch for peace" and disarm.

I think you might be a bit confused with how federation works. Just because you made an account on Lemmy.ca doesn't mean everything you see is Canada-centric.

There's a decade or five in between "barely postgraduate" and "belongs in an assisted living facility."

I want people in charge of significant government functions to have significant lived knowledge and experience in the field.

They won't own that as a logistical failure of the Soviet state, because in many cases they deliberately used famine to murder ~~undesirables~~ counterrevolutionaries. And then they surreptitiously blame said famine on the people they murdered to tie it all up neatly.

I have a feeling Americans fleeing the consequences of their disaster politics may not receive the warmest welcome in Canada. There's a lot of animosity and a lot of it is warranted.

I have the APX Carry, not the A1.

It is a perfectly adequate gun. I have no strong feelings for or against it. I admittedly haven't shot it in years, but I do remember mine shot several inches low. I also remember one or two malfunctions in the few hundred rounds I've had through it, but that was cheap range blasting ammo.

If you look at pictures of the old Beretta Nano and the APX Carry side by side, you can clearly tell that's its lineage, not the APX full size.

The magazine capacity is obsolescent in the now crowded market of "micro-9s" which hold a minimum of 10 flush, but you can still make it work. This is likely the main reason why they are being offloaded at a markdown.

The leadership of blue states is going to follow the path of civility and norms all the way to hell from what I'm seeing out of them. Who's gonna pick up the phone and rally their National Guard in open rebellion? Gavin Newsom? Phil Murphy?

Most supporters of the Nazis went to the grave believing their cause was just. Whether it was on the battlefield, at the end of a firing squad, or decades later of old age.

They let go of their aspirations and public support because they were forced to, at the end of a gun.

IDF would shit their pants if they had to face actual modern warfighters. Basically all of their victories are against malfunctional ME militaries and irregular fighters, to say nothing about the base atrocities they are committing against defenseless people.

Why is he being "sued" and not "arrested and held without bail"? Is election tampering not a felony?

Good. Maybe if Russia starts to have rolling blackouts we'll have to hear from you less.
