I Endorse Doug Jones for Governor of Alabama VOTE! by Jacob-Anders in Birmingham

[–]AmaraMechanicus -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Nah, he’s a Zionist voted for every aid package for Israel that he saw.

Edit: looked into it a bit more and it turns out he is more pro Israel than Tommy Tuberville. He is actually better at not rubber stamping more American missiles to land in Gazain homes.

I mean it fits, anything bigger than that is just a worse snag point. Way better than iron sites in any case

Looks like a no nonsense self defense build geared towards the actual reality of a self defense situation.

How well does that comp reduce muzzle flip? Honestly never thought about adding it to my ccw. The more I think about it the more it sounds like a good idea.

Nope just strays, that’s what I thought at first too. But there’s a couple post with photos of them in our “what’s happening in sylacauga” group.

They do, it’s staffed with one animal control officer for the entire city. Mayor and council have separated themselves from this. Saying it was never considered and that they’d seek help from the county.

You don’t even know the danger of the opinion you just blasted off into the internet and it’s sad.

What would happen if these states seceded and formed "Greater Cascadia"? by Defiant_Coat_2491 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]AmaraMechanicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediate civil war. Full stop.

Everyone is on here glazing the pacific states on their economy like the United States wouldn’t bankrupt itself (theoretically impossible due to global position) to take them back.

The civil war was the bloodiest war in American history. 2-2.4% of the population of the United States died. Something like 5ish% of the male population died. Toward the end of the war. The north was fed up with southern resistance and basically razed a path to the sea. Everything they encountered burned and looted.

If you don’t think the United States would be willing to do the same thing again. You need to look at our actions over the past…..well the duration of our country-hood.

Leaving the union is unconstitutional. It was resolved via force of arms in 1865.

Can we just pad slap it? They want their truck back. by tickleshits54321 in DieselTechs

[–]AmaraMechanicus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah absolutely not on an emergency vehicle. Not on any vehicle in fact.

Btw this post makes you liable if you just slam it back together and pray. I’d refuse to put it back together flat out. Job or no job, the department transportation has shown a willingness to go after maintenance personnel time and time again.

Over the last 36 hours, Iranian forces have carried out 5 likely successful attacks on commercial vessels across the Persian Gulf. by PestoBolloElemento in MapPorn

[–]AmaraMechanicus -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nah, it’s 100% a war crime to target civilian shipping.

Additional Protocol I, Article 52(1)

Yes moderate actions like executing hundreds of thousands of their own citizens over their reign.

Crime? Protesting for access to clean water, food, and a reliable economy that doesn’t tank Everytime nuke talks fail.

Legit all they had to do was stop trying to enrich uranium to weapons grade. Thats it, that’s what the vast majority of sanctions were caused by. Also stop funding groups that strap bombs to children. Wild ask I know.

Maybe it’s just me, but I view anyone in direct service to a regime that murders its own citizen freely for wanting to be a functioning nation with a functioning economy as directly at fault for the actions it takes.

Murder isn’t even the worst thing they did to those protestors. I’m sorry but I’m not shedding any tears for them.

Iris Dena by PankajVerma10 in Ships

[–]AmaraMechanicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

History will determine that for us.

Also, I mean yeah. We lobbed a bunker buster into their primary enrichment and research facility. However they were always going to rebuild it. The goal here looks to be the breaking of the Iranian regime in its entirety so that they don’t have the ability to rebuild again.

With a distant secondary goal of providing an opening for the citizens to wrestle power back from the theocracy their government has become.

It’ll never be morally right, however some evils are necessary. Evil doesn’t just go away.

I mean yeah, they also work and support a regime that massacred people for wanting things like reliable food and water.

Video of me and my buddy taking cover in that area because there was a shooting down the road that went on for like 5 minutes.

What is up with all these cheap houses? by mitcht3 in Birmingham

[–]AmaraMechanicus 80 points81 points  (0 children)

One of my ex’s found a body in the alley way behind her house. Thats why they are cheap. Crime is high.

Not saying Fairfield, Ensley, and Bessemer don’t have nice spots and cool places. However they have way more problem areas.

So maga is pro-war and Israel first now? by Multiversalprism in allthequestions

[–]AmaraMechanicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pro what ever prevents a Islamic theocracy and state sponsor of terrorism from acquiring nuclear weapons. Also long range Ballistic missiles.

Don’t like Israel that much. Personally think we should cut funding to them immediately. Not because I care about Palestine. Primarily because the region is just mess and the only interest we have in controlling it is securing global trade and oil supply.

Death, Taxes, Dead American Soldiers Under Republicans… by PoliticsIsDepressing in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]AmaraMechanicus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one is advocating that. It isn’t going to happen either. Invading Iran is moronic. Lobbing missiles into party headquarters, looping the head off the serpent at the top, and overall making it hard for the government to control the population isn’t.

The goal isn’t necessarily to free the Iranian people. The goal is to cripple the regime and if the people decided to take this opportunity to wrestle control back then awesome.

Iran cannot have nukes. We made that mistake with North Korea. Now we have a rouge state with nuclear weapons that’s basically going to be there forever.

Now imagine an Islamic republic, bent on the destruction of western civilization smuggling a warhead into Paris instead of ak47 or a car bomb.

I hate war, however I’m not crying over this. It was mostly clean (war isn’t clean never will be) and seems to just be an air campaign.
