The northwest territories were north and west of the original thirteen colonies, more or less. They are not more north east of the country as a whole, because westward expansion continued.

Remember that every time you imagine the American voter.

China has geographical problems that hamstring it against American Empire.

Until/unless they build a blue water navy that can blockade America or an alliance system that can shut us out of the indo-pacific, they are fucked in a straight up conflict.

It was a power grab. The US intervened softly to stop the growth of the third Reich into a hegemon, funding Britain, France, and the Soviet Union.

When Japan hit Pearl harbor Roosevelt was forced to war and honestly he and his team were probably itching to get in there are flex American power to shape events directly. Truman finished things out trying to box in the soviets once it was clear the allies were gonna win.

Thelose are just “other rich people” that have the good sense to stay out of the public eye.

A network of rich and powerful people influencing the state isn’t “the deep state” it’s “the state”

Like what makes anyone think they are hiding it?

I supported Bernie because he appealed to me as a progressive. If conservatives came along they were welcome to.

I have never been to New York, but if I lived there I would have voted for mamdani because he appeals to me as a progressive.

I support Talerico because of his progressive stances first, his Christian presentation is a nice bonus, and I wanted a candidate who disavows Aipac and Israel.

Talerico has stayed his Christianity leads him to demand separation of church and state, to support reproductive health, to embrace refugees.

If his religion leads him to all the things I want, then, the most concern I have is keeping an eye on him.

If I know it’s me, “mine some Bitcoin” if I don’t necessarily know it’s me? “You transitioned… Me”

Russia can’t even show up for Russia. I doubt Iranians thought Russia would launch nukes for them.

Ukraine had physical possession of nukes but no ability to use them. The Russians never let them have the launch codes.

Ukrainian officials knew they weren’t getting anything worthwhile in the Budapest memorandum because they weren’t giving anything up besides a headache.

South Africa gave up their nukes and decommissioned their nuclear program. Ukraine just formalized what was already true, the nukes were not usable for them.

He probably will be a. Martyr for all the people that were fighting the protestors to keep him in power.

True, if you aren’t white, the decision is gonna be a lot harder.

Reasonable for the mother. The baby is rolling the dice.

Healthy babies are in high demand for adoption, so the odds are good, but not perfect, and its a terrible system to get stuck in, at least in my state.

I’d say Talerico is the progressive in this race. Crocket supports Israel and takes Aipac money.

He tried to start a union at his workplace. He wasn’t all bad.

The real world seems to be one where the fascists basically never suffer consqences for their actions. Off the top of my head we have that kid that got punched, Charlie Kirk, and that one lady on January 6th that have suffered real consequences.

I get it, Jack Smith is doing his job. I guess it’s up to the rest of us if we want justice to be done.

More corrupt judges need to be prosecuted when/if sanity ever returns.

Yeah there is a big sibling little sibling dynamic and isreal is not the big sibling.

You would do anything for your little sibling and likewise the US would do anything for Isreal. It’s not right but it true, but that doesn’t mean they control us.

It’s up to us to stop it.

Bitching about Democrats is so cringe. You do something.
