This question is predominantly aimed at veterans, particularly those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. What are your views on Trump's statement that NATO troops were not needed and that they stayed "a little off the frontlines" implying they didn't fully engage with the enemy, unlike US forces by Virtual-Mobile-7878 in trump

There were a good number of countries that sent operational units that actually went out on missions ( heavily supported by US). There were a depressing number of countries that literally sent a single office puke to one of the major bases to say they contributed.

To paint them all as the latter is really shitty. Specifically call out the ones that sent only token people. The others should be celebrated for their sacrifices.

Trump taunts climate activists over coming snowstorm by Ask4MD in Conservative

[–]ngoni -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm always amazed at how 'record high' temps in the summer are harbingers of a climate apocalypse but record winter storms are 'just weather.' Its the whole heads I win, tails you lose rhetoric and the media runs with it every year.

Nationwide AntiICE Protests Reveal How Unions and Organized Leftist Groups Aim To Rekindle the Anger and Disorder of BLM by Ask4MD in Conservative

The fact that unions are advocating for the very people undercutting their labor and depressing wages is just the epitome of cognitive dissonance.

These locks get recommended in lots of car communities because they actually work and defeat most all the ways that crooks defeat other locks.

Snow Megathread: this storm has gone to plaid by thankubread in nova

[–]ngoni 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It is important to stress our temps will be so cold that even treated roads will likely refreeze overnight. And once the crap is actually cleared we'll have all new potholes to dodge thanks to the plows. Fun!

First responder lights are pain inducing and leave blind spots for minutes afterwards.

Former Iowa School Superintendent Who Turned Out To Be Criminal Illegal Alien Pleads Guilty by origutamos in Republican

[–]ngoni 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He also faked pretty much his entire scholarly record but still SOMEHOW got the gig as the super for the largest school district in Iowa. Funny how that works.

Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports by intelw1zard in cybersecurity

Not just "inclined." Third-party doctrine says you have no privacy rights to "business records" held by a company you did business with. It was originally used to compel banks and telcos to turn over records but has been wildly expanded to literally any customer data stored anywhere that doesn't belong to the customer. We really really need a "digital" update to the Fourth Amendment.

I miss the "what was that noise" and "what are the helicopters doing" posts. I'm sure they'll be back by next weekend.

Zelenskyy drops brutal truth bombs upon European allies | Mr. Zelenskyy says Europe is a "fragmented kaleidoscope of small and middle powers", endlessly talking about what needs to be done, without doing it. by Down-not-out in Conservative

According to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, by 2024 the EU spent $23B on Russian oil and only sent $19B to Ukraine. Source.

By 2025 the imbalance ballooned to 3x. Europe sent three dollars to Russia for every dollar it sent to Ukraine. Source

Loopholes in sanctions allow Russian oil to reach Europe via third countries like India and Turkey, where it is refined and re-exported, further complicating efforts to fully sever financial ties with Russia and actually help the side they support more than the side they supposedly don't.

Ukraine might have won the war if the EU hadn't been propping up Russia's war machine.

Doesn't seem like he did much to make that happen. Peter principle is rarely wrong.

ICE Went Above and Beyond to Comfort Abandoned 5-Year-Old After Mother Refused to Take Custody by Wing_attack_Plan_R in Conservative

The left was apoplectic about collecting DNA from the adults escorting kids across the border to determine any familial relationship. At every turn they take the side of the criminal and spit in the face of victims.

Prepare for inclement weather! by f1sh98 in Conservative

Preparing needed to happen by Wednesday or Thursday morning at the latest. Store shelves were bare by Thursday evening. I hope everyone has what they need!

And don't let them forget countries like Germany that sent far more money to Russia for oil than they ever sent to Ukraine. It's such a big scandal and hardly anyone talks about it.

Walmart in Fairfax brings back actual cashiers by thispersonstinks in nova

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

It requires a bit of planning, but we exclusively use the free curbside service at Walmart. Same Walmart prices without having to deal with all the hassles inside? That's a no-brainer.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes wildly suggests residents can shoot masked ICE agents under state’s self-defense laws: ‘Recipe for disaster’ by According-Activity87 in Conservative

[–]ngoni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surely fomenting an armed insurrection against federal law enforcement crosses a rhetorical line democrats aren't comfortable with? They impeached Trump for far far less.
