Do we think Dems will bother changing this one back or will it just be Lake America in anything made by the US government now

Comrade Trump making sure I can only play indie games from now on

Trump played down the significance of the rare and secretive trip, saying it was “sort of semi-routine.”

He's so funny sometimes

I can think of a certain catty 80 year old former theater producer I'd like to see in the headlines

Do they genuinely think Russia is going to keep going into Europe after Ukraine, just kick off a nuclear war with NATO? Or has NATO reached a point where an invasion of an eastern European member state wouldn't provoke a full response?

In Sheffield's case it was mostly due to incompetence and not taking Argentina seriously, they didn't use any countermeasures at all. The US navy certainly isn't incapable of stupidity but I'd imagine they're a little more on edge after the recent debaseification

D-Day famously gave the Germans advance notice and asked them to negotiate

If this guy had shot someone or blown up a building he might not have gotten off either, it's easier to convince a jury not to convict someone for something harmless like posting on substack or whatever

Nice idea but impossible for Ukrainian leadership politically. If they sign a peace deal before there are Russians in Kiev, they'll all be branded traitors and get merced by whatever Azov guys still exist. It's still the correct thing to do if you care about Ukrainian lives, but they clearly don't.

I don't have a subscription either but just reading the intro I'm pretty skeptical

During World War II then, the bombing accuracy was so poor that all bombing was area bombing. No point targets could be attacked directly.

This is totally false. High altitude bombing was indeed inaccurate, but there was a lot of low altitude bombing that was very precise and lethal. I believe the single biggest killer of German tanks in Western Europe were American bombers, carrying out strikes essentially the same way Yemen is hitting Saudi Arabia today but with planes instead of drones.

There is an argument to be made for high altitude strategic bombing being mainly terror bombing, which it often was, but even with a very wide area of impact, if you drop a bunch of bombs on a large manufacturing area you'll do damage eventually.

Carney has the easiest job in the world but he'll probably still manage to suck up to Trump somehow

In this case I don't think US prosecutors would've tried to take this to court in the first place. Part of the reason the US has such a high conviction rate is that the justice system rarely goes after cases that aren't a pretty easy win.
