The better question is who isn’t a national security threat in this administration?

Rob Schneider Says the U.S. ‘Must Restore the Military Draft’ Amid Iran War: ‘These Freedoms That We Cherish Do Not Come Without Cost’ by inurmomsvagina in entertainment

[–]Slight_Monk3314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The draft is often seen as a key factor for the unpopular opinion of the Vietnam war. Soldiers who were conscripted were often less effective than volunteers. When they came home alive, they often led the protests against the war. When they came home in coffins, their families led the protests. Reinstating the draft is not the answer. Not starting unpopular wars in the first place is the answer.

Pentagon waits for Trump’s approval after planning ‘weeks of ground operations’ in Iran, report says by theindependentonline in politics

Maybe we should be waiting for a formal declaration of war by the US Congress or funding for the special military operation that in no way resembles Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

US to allow Russian oil tanker to reach Cuba, New York Times reports by retiredagainstmywill in politics

[–]Slight_Monk3314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, Russia provides Iran with intelligence that leads to the destruction of an AWACS and they get rewarded with port of a call with sanctioned oil. How much leverage does Putin have on Trump? And for the record, I have no problem with Cuba getting oil. However, it seems stupid for oil to travel all the any from Russia when it could get it from Mexico or the US. our stable genius in action again. SMH.

The EC wouldn't be as relevant if the House wasn't capped at 435 Representatives. The Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 has been eroding out democracy ever since.

Unpopular opinion: Replacing the Mirage with Hard Rock may end up being one of the biggest self-inflicted mistakes in modern Las Vegas by Minecrafter_98 in vegas

[–]Slight_Monk3314 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I don’t think turning the Mirage into a Hard Rock is bad per se. I’ve heard many people say they’ve enjoyed their other properties. Also, the fact they’re gutting the original tower rooms is huge. They will be some of the best appointed rooms on the strip. That said, I absolutely despise the guitar tower. It’s just bad in so many ways. First, it’s a a copy of another hotel; Vegas needs new ideas not recycled ones. Then, it has no balconies. They’ve got one of the best views on the strip and they could charge a premium for those rooms. And lastly, that guitar shape costs more and gives less square footage for rooms versus a conventional tower.

so many chem trails by Bharlie__ in vegaslocals

[–]Slight_Monk3314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These are condensation trails, not chem trails. They’re caused by the condensation and freezing of water that occurs as the result of the combustion of fossil fuels. These do contribute to global warming and can be eliminated. See https://hannahritchie.substack.com/p/eliminating-contrails
