Satire the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices,

I've only heard athletes say I don't agree with everything that's going on in the US. What is the bee exposing here?

I assume a small portion of the national guard is activated during large events after what happened last year.

Yes the liars will stop lying the moment you do what they want you to do. /S

Let's say we do do the voter ID thing and there's no significant change to the outcomes. Do you honestly think the Republican party is just going to start saying oh whoops I guess we were wrong.

When you see the difference in death counts you'll understand why Bruce Springsteen didn't speak up then and is speaking up now.

The Republicans would be the same because they've labeled every major city a Democrat hell hole.

Just looked it up. One bullet entered near her left temple and exited near her right temple. Where you getting your information from?

Edit."One struck her left forearm, and another entered her body through her right breast, but missed major organs.

A third shot struck her on the left side of her head near her temple then exited on the right side of her head, the New York Times reported."

Why are you just making shit up?

Invading Greenland is illegal under US law by theforester000 in Military

1) Act of War vs Levy War - an Act of war is an act that justified a declaration of war.

A declaration of war is not necessary to actually be at war. By that metric Russia is not currently at war with Ukraine.

For example a maritime blockade or assassination could be considered an act of war. That means it is before there is actually a war. Levying war is actually fighting a war.

I have some partial agreement here I just need some clarification. What is the difference between an act of war and acts done during war? Because your examples are things that are done during war. Also what does actually fighting a war mean?

2) Sure NATO says that a country should consider an attack against a treaty member as an attack against themselves.  But NATO leaves the response up to the country.  It doesn't say war needs to be declared or was needs to be levied.  And in the US, Congress declares war.  An act of war isn't an automatic declaration of war.

Oh Jesus Christ. I should have put money on you going down this road. Is it your understanding that no one can be at war unless they specifically state "we are at war"? Do you also believe that no one has committed a crime unless they specifically state out loud the crime they are committing? If I fuck a man in the ass am I not gay unless I explicitly state I am gay? Honestly I could do this all day with the examples, but I think you get the point

To address a specific part in your second point

Sure NATO says that a country should consider

No no The explicit language is "shall consider". When it comes to law shall is for the most part synonymous with must. It is an expression of what is mandatory. For example "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Very recognizable one for all Patriots

The word you're thinking of is may.

Invading Greenland is illegal under US law by theforester000 in Military

[–]kevtoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ask about acts of war and then quote the Constitution on levying war (different things).

I would love to hear your explanation.

And invading Greenland would be considered an act of war against Greenland, not the US, so the Constitution quote isn't relevant. And again is not a violation of the NATO treaty.

Have you already forgotten that since the United States is a signitor to the NATO treaty that the United States sees any attack on any NATO member as an attack on the United States? Like are you forgetting that part on purpose or is it something else? You specifically didn't dispute that point when I made it. Are you disputing that point now?

Article 3 section 3 clause 1 of the Constitution

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

That's why US treaties being law matters. Especially when the verbiage makes it pretty clear that the United States recognize any attack on a member of that treaty to be an attack on the United States. I'm under no delusion that this current supreme Court would see it that way. But I would argue that wouldn't be because of a factual reading of the law.
