People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

MODERATORS
The most unbelievable thing about this story is that the US military saw something that wasn't a threat and left it alone
Why? They aren't cops!
the orgs themselves don't. really. they don't want those missions.
presidents with wild ideas and congress, on the other hand, have been known to push the mil in that direction.
but look at the doctrine and history, the military does not want that mission. the US barely participates in UN & NATO peacekeeping deployments. we prefer 'enemy here, bomb them' kind of clear cut objectives.
sure thing kiddo.
There wasn't any oil in it.
