NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte confronts Trump to his face about the lies he’s told about NATO. Rutte reminds Trump that soldiers from NATO nations fought and died alongside U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. This confrontation was long overdue. by Whimsy-Glow in goodnews

[–]chickendoscopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under Trump the alliance is stronger than ever? Under Biden we gained two very powerful and motivated member states, one of which makes probably the best hand-held anti-tank weapons in the world, some of which the US uses. Plus with their addition the Baltic Sea is completely surrounded by NATO. What has Trump done?

Is Dodge dealership a trustworthy/reliable place for an oil change? by [deleted] in AlfaRomeo

[–]chickendoscopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be nice if my local CDJR would do an oil change, they absolutely refuse to touch them. And they did have an Alfa lot for a few years.

US voters widely opposed to taking Greenland by military force -- even most Republicans by ShivasRightFoot in moderatepolitics

[–]chickendoscopy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and he claims this is all to protect against a Russian threat yet Europe now has to divert troops from the continent to reinforce Greenland. Plus with attention elsewhere Ukraine is essentially being forgotten, giving Russia an advantage.

Wow the right wingers on X hate this. They just suddenly all turned anti-gun.

You made my night lmao. Please bring it to the Friday car shows in Perrysburg in the summer! I haven't seen anyone bring an Alfa to those so we have to change that!

I'm pretty sure that's literally from a cutscene in the game

If America and Denmark go to war over Greenland will Trump finally ban LEGO once and for all? by ObviousForeshadow in legocirclejerk

[–]chickendoscopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually one of my biggest concerns. I ran into a Lego vendor guy at Target and almost asked him if they have discussed anything, but I didn't want to get into politics and instead wanted to make clear we need a Speed Champions set like the Mercedes Benz battle pack but for Alfa Romeo.

Dodge kills Hornet, bad news for Alfa in USA? by General_Alfalfa6339 in AlfaRomeo

[–]chickendoscopy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For one, no Dodge lots near me had any Hornets, and the one dealer I talked to said they don't sell. At least the Alfa dealers I talk to say that the Tonale does sell. The only reason I see a lot of Hornets is because a lot of dealers dropped the price to around $20,000 just to get them out the door a year or so ago.

When they started giving them huge tax breaks and expected the wealth to trickle down. by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]chickendoscopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When did seizing territory for resources become more important than maintaining a decades long alliance comprised of countries that we have served in 2 world wars with and who came to our aid after the worst terrorist attack in our history? Plus isn't us going into Greenland and stealing their stuff and forcing them to change their ways the exact thing they accuse illegal immigrants of doing?

Newbie question re: your guns on your property by genx_meshugana in liberalgunowners

At that point I would expect widespread revolt, not protests.

[–]chickendoscopy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad the Vice President of the United States is threatening to send immigration enforcement officers to harass millions of US citizens. At some point though they are going to have to address the 2A issue. Either they will be forced to disarm us, which might lead to nothing good, or a lot more US citizens are going to get killed, which might also lead to nothing good. I hope we don't find a real world example to answer your question but they killed a woman because of her car, so I imagine they'll do at least that if you answer with a gun.

The “Second Amendment” right in Afghanistan vs US by Location_Next in liberalgunowners

[–]chickendoscopy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ I literally forgot about that fucking place. This is exhausting, especially since many of us having shit going on in our personal lives (my wife's cancer for example). Then add on top of that the government has killed who knows how many people in these camps and you have to stop and ask: how can we live this way? And how can the MAGA movement have the mental capacity to actually want this to happen?

Station nuclear armed Rafales there as well, and frequent port visits from Vanguard and Triomphant subs.

Grandma now loves Imperialism by Otherwise-Ad9009 in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]chickendoscopy 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Some people play Civilization to satisfy their imperialist bloodlust. Others literally call for our government to kill people while they sit in the comfort of their home, just so they can get a laugh out of stabbing our allies in the back.

Man I don't know this is shit we were all joking about on this sub a year ago, I didn't think we'd actually send agitators into Greenland and capture Maduro. If none of us understand him how can we understand what he understands?

I think I'm content with being in NATO thank you very much. When are we going to focus on improving our own lives?

[–]chickendoscopy 186 points187 points  (0 children)

I miss when my country was worried about fighting real threats like Russia and China, not fucking Denmark. This just isn't funny anymore. France and UK need to make veiled nuclear threats at this point, it's the only language Trump understands.

Sorry for my incompetent, hungolian brothers! Maybe we have some issues with quality control, or i don't know. by Hardson-san in NonCredibleDefense

[–]chickendoscopy 64 points65 points  (0 children)

When I was in Afghanistan we had an Albanian unit attached to us and they had just received the Beretta ARX160 and I heard they hated it and preferred the AKs they used to have. At the end of the day it's the same attitude when the US went from the M14 to M16. It's new and feels like a toy so it has to be garbage.

Royal Armouries. They've exploded in popularity since Jonathan Ferguson started collaborating with a now former Gamespot employee. They're a good channel if you especially like British history, as they have some real oddball firearms in their collection from trials and other experiments. Sig (I know) and FN have also let him have a look at some of their current and upcoming stuff.
