I think it’s important enough to note, there’s no evidence showing this was the plan in any Soviet campaign in WW2. (But this is based off memory so there could be a single digit number of times)

In WW1? That would be accurate. Say what you will about Soviets but weapons were something they could produce and properly supply unlike the tsar.

In the Ukraine war though you are probably correct.

I can go point by point in his comment, but the core issue I am point out applies to all of it. We have the laws to have prevented this, we have the tools needed to stop so many mass shootings. But the overwhelming majority of the time cops don’t enforce the laws, they’re either incompetent, lazy or refuse to do the job they signed up for.

You can have every law in the world, you can have the best piece of legislation that perfectly outlines and covers every single possibility, but if nobody enforces it you don’t have shit.

Guns in society can exist just fine, they already are one of the smallest types used in Violent crimes, we can repeal the NFA and get back fully automatic weapons and still be safe if we could have a functioning police force that enforces the laws that matter instead of revenue generating ones.

It’s amazing how much you have typed just to completely ignore the entire point of my argument. Please get some reading comprehension.

This article is terrible, Maine has yellow flag laws, which is a much more constitutionally acceptable version of red flag laws. the family did what they were supposed to do, it seems likely (they won’t talk about it) that the cops once again won’t do their jobs and because of that even more people died.

We already have the laws needed to prevent the majority of mass shootings but unless we get better cops no law will meaningfully help and tyrants will use this as an excuse to just get rid of guns rather than maintain rights, not alienate half the country and actually solve the other underlying problems.

Maybe not 100% of the time but at least 80-90% of the time it’s always the police, or DA failing to do their job properly. If you’re pending a felony trial you cannot own/buy guns until you’re proven innocent, and they should be confiscated. I cannot imagine how this man would not be chargeable.

Similar goes for many shootings, they plea down to a lesser charge or the cops just don’t do their job and let go obvious crimes.

The most famous victims of all, armed men in broad daylight with firearms.

Love that most of the world’s governments came together and said “collective punishment is bad, we should make it illegal during times of war” and shit like this can still fly within any first world country.

Why wouldn’t we? The PS5 is already 3* years old, most cycles are around 7 years

I’ve seen phone games look better

Imma say it, he’s kinda based, evades taxes and “illegally” owns guns, free my boy.

if only they were this serious about actually completing their “new” “game”

Glad I haven’t played a cod game in years.

There’s already a report button if someone has an issue with it let them report it, this is just going to lead to a ton of false positives or be completely useless.

I’m someone who studies history a lot.

Everything you said could be replaced with 1910-14 as the current year and you’d be pretty close to prevailing opinions of the day.

Wars need men. Well trained men ideally, but he who has the numbers usually wins.

In WW1 It took 3-6 months to churn through the professionals, in WW2 I don’t recall off hand but we’re looking at months. In Vietnam it did take 5 years yes, but that’s not the kind of war that Europe is or should be preparing for. In Ukraine it seems likely to be around 9 months, for Russia at least (unless you’re paratroopers then 3 days).

Outside of huge technological and leadership gaps you need the bigger army to win and that’s why conscription is the necessary evil.

You are by no means wrong. But outside of ancapistan types, I think everyone can say the governments job is to protect it’s citizens from would be invaders. With world tensions rising along with various other crisis’ it’s just the best move, being prepared for the worst and taking precautions.Trained vs untrained soldiers could be the difference between 500 casualties and 2500 (the infamous German school battalions of WW1 for example)

It’s one of the few actual necessary evils, unless your country is on the offensive of course.

To be fair, Austin has to be not far behind LA as some of the worst. Everything in Texas is made for cars only basically.

Don’t forget for trying to form a union too!

What a dogshit article.

Sure what sen. Blum. Said taken out of context is bad but the people he’s trying to get some support out of with his statement is the right wingers/capitalist types to be less anti us support in Ukraine.

Romney as always is indefensible.

From real Politik perspective they’re 100% right based off only the title.

From real life they’re correct that helping Ukraine helps the USA indirectly and even if somehow lives weren’t being lost to this war it would still help the military industrial complex greatly in ways that actually benefit the USA at least somewhat (we’re tossing out a bunch of outdated, expensive to maintain vehicles and getting up to date ones instead) and this is one of the rare times that the USA is doing something for a relatively good cause for once.

I get this is an anti war publication but be fucking real, war ain’t leaving anytime soon, every ideology, tribe, government type, and religion has and will again engage in it with very few exceptions. And those exceptions usually mean tiny island tribes where there’s no land to conquer/reclaim/defend

There’s plenty of 2010-2015ish cars with dogshit radios that are hard to find, expensive to get or literally impossible to find good replacements for, thanks to vehicle manufacturers killing of the DIN system.

It’s pretty easy to point to how he’s getting his son handled in court. While a far cry from trying to overthrow the government it is corruption regardless.

I just beat tcg2, I’m onto the end game content trying to get that 50 wins in a row
