The French Foreign Legion is actually pretty badass

Ok fair point. My real issue is with fake trailers, AI generated or not.

Yeah these were annoying AF. Couldn't look up anything movie related without done shitty AI faked up trailer YouTube video being the first hit

Or they won't buy it won't matter anyway, because being a "citizen" isn't much help when you've been black-bagged, shaved, and carted of to some damn prison and without access to a lawyer and without anyone actually knowing what happened to you...

I'm guessing one of the reasons it's not in Steam is that it depends on Java to run? I don't recall every having a Java based game on Steam

I think if that happened, the push against other nations would at least get a reprieve as infighting takes over, especially if Putin bites it.

There are a lot of people who want to be king and they'll all likely have plots to take out their rivals and consolidate power

If I read that this particular dickhead shit himself and died, I'd be dancing too!

"senior" is a pretty wide range though. You can be old enough to get a senior's discount and still able enough to do most things. Maybe you aren't going to be doing 100 situps after jogging 10 miles, but march the streets and hold a rifle sure, and there's probably a good mix of ex-military in there as well as people who know how to make stuff go kaboom in unique and interesting ways.

Taking away their reasons to sit contently and die quietly might not work out as well as some think, but this party in particular is pretty good at thinking everyone but themselves are inept.

They're vultures and parasites. They get a friendly CEO into a company who then sells off useful assets and changes to renting/leasing.

Does your org own property/offices. Sell those of to another company under the hedge to show high numbers for the first numbers. Then the company needs to rent - often from those same funds and possibly that exact same property they're still in - which then makes the business less and less profitable as supply chain is also replaced with whatever profits the hedge most.

Finally, declare bankruptcy, fire-sale any remaining assets (probably to hedge-fund buddies), close up shop and let all the workers go

How about banning them from majority share in any major Canadian business. I'm tired of the buy, drain, dismantle cycle perpetuated but these vultures

Yeah same boat here.

Some of Europe does at least. Kinda looks like the UK is ready to kiss the ring for King Trump. It was nice to see some friendly French submarines handing around in the East though
