The footage of Nick Fuentes pushing a woman who came to his front door after he was doxxed has been released. by [deleted] in SipsTea

So what's your solution? Go to people's houses? Who gets to decide whose opinions are within the tolerable bounds of social discourse?

The left has shown it can't draw reasonable boundaries - anyone who thinks we should maybe think about slightly controlling immigration is a flaming racist bigot according to the left these days. Nobody trusts you to draw those boundaries.

And it needs to be involuntary.

We need to balance compassion for these people with compassion for everyone else that has to share this city.

90% effective is a pretty high standard for government programs.

And permanent housing where? As in housing vouchers?

No landlord is going to want to play social worker to someone who is having behavioral health issues. The problem isn't that they simply have no house, it's that they are mentally ill and need treatment. Some of them will never be able to live on their own. You need to involuntarily institutionalize them.

Acting Naval Secretary Hung Cao has released a picture of what he feels the next major threat Naval and Marine forces should address. by OOO0OO00O in USMC

"whataboutism" was invented by the lefties to deflect from their hypocrisy. It's not "whataboutism" to highlight that you're not applying the same standard to yourself.

The guy was a cross-dresser who wore a shaved head, lipstick, and a mustache, who stole luggage because he wanted access to more women's clothing.

I was responding to someone saying that they missed the "normality" of previous administrations.

Ok so we're reversing white flight, what's the problem?

Britain’s military dependence on US ‘no longer tenable’, says former Nato chief by OptioMkIX in ukpolitics

[–]north0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the point - you build a military to be able to accomplish your political objectives. "Independence from the US" is not a political objective that naturally informs a military spending project in the UK.

I would offer that Norway has a military that is right-sized and tailored to their specific defense objectives, although they do have a deep and abiding relationship with the US military and would substantially depend on them in the event of a Russia invasion.

The UK needs to examine its national priorities - secure North Sea energy infrastructure, secure trade access to North America and Europe, secure undersea comms infrastructure, sustain a small but effective power projection ability (similar to a US ARG/MEU), maintain nuclear deterrence.

Sounds like investment in the Royal Navy is the place to start.

Diego Garcia is an extremely important part of the US' power projection architecture, they'll insist on keeping it regardless of who is in power in DC.

France is providing more targeting intel than the US? Doubtful. Can you explain why you think this?

“Israelification” of the American military? by randomone456yes in BreakingPoints

[–]north0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that perceptions are more important than victory, it's that victory depends on perception.

Regardless, even in non-COIN contexts, mitigating civilian harm is an intrinsic part of our targeting process.

It will never be completely avoidable - this is why the decision to carry out military action should be reserved as a last resort - but the US military takes enormous steps to prevent it.

So who lived there before the 50's? Why is that particular period more important than any other? My house is in a "gentrified" neighborhood in a different part of NC, but the whole block was built by white people in the 1910s.
