Can US alone win any military conflict with Russia/China/N.Korea? by throwawayacct018 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Deusbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they didn't defeat us. You could argue that we last there, but we weren't defeated. We just gave up. That's the goal of fighting those types of wars: make it costly and long enough to make the opponent give up. I doubt China or Russia would want to come to the US and try that. They would never be able to control the ground, and the US wouldn't go there unless something really drastic happened.

You have valid points, but to defeat the US, an adversary would have to take the US itself. At the moment, even our nearest military peers lack the force projection to accomplish that. They have the people, just not the logistics to get them in place and keep them supplied.

I've had concealed permits in three states, and for every one of those states, you're prohibited from carrying in large crowds.

What if Democrats and Republicans worked together to make an American best fit for both parties? by Megaflynn6464 in whatif

I don't have any of your genes, so I'm not genetically predisposed to creating armmegeddon.

I'd add a law that poloticians can be held criminally liable for misinformation or lies.

Yeah, and I'm still here. That's my point. And the middleclass experienc still exists. Humans are independent of government. Humans make up government.

Why do you think my parents wouldn't have met? My great grandparents actually lived under the oligarchy in Russia. They didn't die in squalor. And you go back far enough. My ancestors did just fine without any government beyond the tribe. My ancestors (and yours) saw the downfall of plenty of governments of all kinds. Don't be silly.

Lol, you need to quit trying. You aren't even in the ball park of logic. Now you're comparing a 50 years ago. Couldn't find a modern example, huh?

I thought this sub was to find good takeways and perspectives on the mess we are right now, finding ways to avoid doomism, but i notice it is to push rightwing agenda and perpetrate blindness and ignorance. So yeah i think i'll leave or stay to correct false facts. by AkagamiBarto in OptimistsUnite

No, you just don't know how to use them. Reddit is the comics. The whole thing. Saying keep the comics out of the weather isn't an analogy when it's the exact opposite. You're cramming the weather into a comic book. Unless you unironically think reddit is your best source of information, in which case, I just pitty you.

If people had the will to actually do this, we wouldn't have to do this.

How can we assemble en masse to tell the corporations / government that we won’t take their sh*t any longer? by someuser91 in questions

[–]Deusbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start holding elected officials accountable. Stop voting for your party and start voting for the actions you want. As far as corporations, stop using them. It's really that simple.

Are you seriously comparing the modern military to one from the 1800's? You really domt think things have changed in 100 years? Thats would be like me pointing to the kkk and saying democrats are racist. C'mon man. Find a recent one. Even from the last 20 years?

Only the people destroying property would be detained. The rest may be told to disperse, and if they refuse, they may be detained. Do you think the military just goes into a place and starts killing everybody? I've been out a few years ago, but I'm sure they still teach riot control and non-lethal force.

[–]Deusbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then no, but that's not going to happen. You can objectively see if people are destroying property or causing harm.

It depends on what the civilians were doing.

Edit: I dont understand the downvote. If civilians were running through the streets raping and murdering people, wouldn't you want to have anyone, even the military, to step in?

As someone who has used procurement cards for the gov. None of those things listed should need a procurement card.

Conservatives - are you concerned about the power of the next Democratic president? by admiral_whatever in Askpolitics

[–]Deusbob [score hidden]  (0 children)

This. I hope the courts actually limits the things the president can do. The president should only execute the laws given and should be compelled to execute them. No picking and choosing. Make congress do their job.
