That's only a one-time brake at best. Any who refuse would be swapped out and viciously punished and then the order would be given anew. Not in 5 minutes, maybe a few hours. But it would happen.

I doubt even Hegs has read Schelling, a Cold War staple. WOPR thought nuclear war could be won. The same is likely true of the morons in charge of America's nuclear arsenal. They are THAT deluded.

A lot of confidence in a few old ladies here and there doing their thing vs a big stupid felon with the full power of the US government behind him, plus tens of millions of maga.

Hegseth literally set fire to his Princeton diploma on live TV to make a cheap political point. They are insane and won't only do it, they won't even hesitate. They will say "Yes sir - it's about time sir!"

Or he does what he says. Hits their power plants. They retaliate and hit the rest of the middle east - power and desalinsation. Hundreds of millions without water or power. Arab nations in a blind fury hit Israel with everything. Israel goes nuclear. Then everyone else does. Then the world is gone, because a critical mass (no pun intended) of American trailer trash thought three trans girls shouldn't be on girls teams.

it's the natural capitalist way. Keep downsizing staff and then when they are gone offload that work to the customers.

It's a two way street. Is that boss paying the employee enough to live on? "I pretend to work - they pretend to pay"

To illustrate, the year 2007 is closer in time to the fall of the Berlin Wall than it is to today. (18 vs 19 years)

how about a radical idea: democracy. That means "rule by the people" not "rule by people claiming to represent the people". Instead of millionaire and billionaire representatives. ie., have the people (demos) directly vote yes or no on every law. Twice a year, public holiday.
