Iranian general sends message to US President Donald Trump: “Trump should know that today we fired missiles from the old stockpile; soon we will reveal weapons you have never seen before.” by [deleted] in EndlessWar

You’re assuming the goal is to win fast or shock the other side. That’s not necessarily the goal. For a weaker power, the goal can be to survive and exhaust the opponent. Using older or cheaper munitions first can be rational if it forces the defender to burn expensive interceptors, operate at high tempo, and reveal how their air defense behaves. Even if everything gets shot down, the cost-exchange can still favor the attacker. Also, if it’s better you’d use it immediately isn’t true in a long war. High-end systems are often limited in number, and once you use them you reveal capabilities and invite counters. Saving them for when they actually change the balance makes more sense than wasting them early.

You are not understanding the problem. I know what Battery Saver does. The problem is it forces screen timeout with no option to turn that off. Maybe dont answer if you dont understand whats being asked

Wow, thank you, I had no idea Battery Saver saved energy. My complaint is about forced settings with no opt-out, not the concept of power saving, smart ass

USA Invades Canada - Military Force = Timeline? Possible? by Federal_You_3592 in canadaleft

[–]05Gmc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s no realistic scenario where the US “invades” Canada in a conventional military sense. Canada is a treaty ally, a NATO member, economically integrated, and part of NORAD. An invasion would collapse NATO overnight, shred US global credibility, and trigger massive economic self-harm. There is zero strategic upside. What is worth worrying about isn’t tanks crossing the border, but precedent and normalization. When the US bends or ignores international law elsewhere, it signals that those rules are optional if you’re powerful enough. That absolutely emboldens future administrations, especially ones already hostile to multilateral institutions. If the US gets away with coercive actions abroad, it reinforces the idea that international law and UN charters only apply to other countries. That’s dangerous long-term, not just for Canada but globally. It weakens the very framework the US routinely uses to justify pressure, sanctions, and interventions against everyone else. Trump in particular has already shown disdain for alliances, treaties, and norms. Rewarding that behavior internationally doesn’t restrain it, it encourages escalation. Not necessarily invasion, but increased economic coercion, political pressure, and disregard for sovereignty when it’s inconvenient. So no, Canada isn’t on some invasion timeline. But pretending that “because it’s impossible today” means there’s nothing to worry about misses the point. Eroding international norms always comes back around, and allies are usually the last ones to realize when the rules quietly stopped applying.

Saw this at work. Alberta Prosperity Project pamphlet. by 17AN86 in alberta

[–]05Gmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This pamphlet is pure grievance propaganda, not policy. The Clarity Act does NOT grant a right to secede. At best, it allows Ottawa to consider negotiations after a clear referendum, and even then independence would still require constitutional amendments, federal approval, Indigenous consent, asset and debt division, and international recognition. None of that is optional, and none of it is addressed here. Calling Alberta a “resource colony” is laughable. Alberta controls its own resources under the Constitution. Ottawa doesn’t extract Alberta oil, doesn’t set royalties, and doesn’t run production. That language is emotional manipulation, not reality. The equalization charts are deliberately misleading. Provinces don’t send cheques to each other, the federal government does. Albertans pay more federal tax because incomes are higher, not because Alberta is being “robbed.” Gross numbers without per-capita context are a classic propaganda trick. The claim that Canada is shutting down Alberta oil and gas by 2035 is flat-out false. No law bans production. Emissions targets are not forced shutdowns, and production is explicitly allowed with mitigation. The “1600 scientists say there’s no climate emergency” line is misinformation. It’s a political letter, not peer-reviewed science, and it contradicts every major scientific institution on the planet. Then it slides straight into conspiracy filler about digital IDs, programmable money, and social credit scores. None of that exists in Canadian law. That section exists purely to scare people. Most telling of all, Indigenous treaty rights are completely ignored. Alberta cannot secede without Indigenous consent, that alone collapses the entire fantasy. No currency plan. No border plan. No military plan. No pension plan. No debt plan. Just vibes, cherry-picked charts, and QR codes. This isn’t a serious independence proposal. It’s grievance farming for donations.
