    Did you ever imagine that a lunatic would be in charge of the USA? Did you ever imagine that the lunatic’s party would do nothing to stop him? RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES.

        The goal is not to hit the US back hard enough to break it. It’s to hit it back very precisely to make it break itself. That’s far more logistically feasible.

            I mean, yes, I mean to the point where it can’t pose a further threat. The idea is to leverage its own internal breakdown to maximise the effectiveness of those who oppose this regime while undermining those who support it and hope that whatever crawls out of the rubble is better than what the US has become. In the meantime consolidate and coordinate our own resources while it’s distracted with its own civil breakdown and hope we have enough time to improve our own defensive posture in case the good guys lose.

            Regret is probably the wrong sentiment. “Frustrated enough to give up and go smash his own toys for a while.” Doesn’t really have a word though.

              Oh well good news there, just don’t engage with him and he’ll wander off in a little while. Pretty much as soon as the commercial’s over he’ll be on some new idiocy. And it will always involve him destroying something in or about America.

    “Can”, “Threatens to”… I am so sick of seeing headlines that imply a consequence could be headed Trump’s way, yet there is never any follow through. He has managed to get away with shit for his entire life and here we are, laws and rules being broken all over the place in the public eye, and STILL nothing being done. When he dies he will die knowing he got away with it, and that really grinds my gears.

      Trump is too old to live long enough to feel the full consequences of the harm to the USA that his actions have set in motion.

      But the people who supported him likely will feel that pain. And I’m OK with that.

    The only way we could do that is by donating a functioning brain that can feel regret.
