Amnesty was supposed to be in exchange for tighter enforcement, not a deliberate policy of overloading America with illegal aliens to force a permanent end to border controls.

And since there weren't, any competent GOP pol these days should know that any similar "amnesty" deal will likewise end in betrayal and that therefore trying to do it again is a waste of time and will accomplish nothing except piss off the base and give the Dems another couple million voters.

And two presidents before Bush Jr didn't follow through. Seems kinda passive in Bush's part. He just kept doing what those before him did and left the gates open

Just read comments and quote tweets they are ragging on them hard and calling them out . There was grand total one or two pro tweets everyone else was screaming lies also pointing out that the border bill had money for foreign countries but zero for the border . LoL

The northern states were very much for slavery all but in name. By permanently turning and keeping the southern states and western territories as continental sized company towns.

Bush Jr wasn't passive. He was pro-open-borders and lost the Senate over it in 2006. Google "Any Willing Worker." What Bush wanted for America was for anyone who could be hired at an American company to get an automatic visa.

It's actually legally ok to shoot presidents as long as you're insane, but you do have to stay in a mental institution afterwards. I abhor violence in any form, but that's the law.
That's so quaint, they wanted people who would actually join the work force. I think that's a far-right, restrictionist policy now.

"Dark Brandon" had three things that birthed it:
1. The left wanting to irrevocably neutralize one of the earliest examples of them trying to censor reality when a bunch of Nascar fans started screaming "Fuck Joe Biden" on a live broadcast interview with a driver named Brandon, where the liberal cuck interviewer saw the driver recognized the "Fuck Joe Biden" chant and was thrown by it/not being into the interview because of it and the interviewer point blank lying by saying the fans were chanting "Let's go Brandon" rather than acknowledge that the "fuck Joe Biden" chant was a MASSIVE case of the left's bullshit about Joe being so uber popular was full of shit. Which became a huge meme and a way to get around being perma-banned on social media (which at the time was firmly corrupt/banning anyone who dared say anything not 100% pro-Joe Biden) to say "Fuck Joe Biden" and express how much one despises Biden
2. The DNC and their media cronies addressing a longstanding complaint hardcore liberals have had about the DNC and Democrat politicians not being cruel and vindictive and evil in how they rule as opposed to how the Democrats have historically "fought with one hand behind their backs" having to be "nice" while the GOP can fight like a rabid pit bull in the pursuit of their agenda and crushing their enemies. So they hijacked the idea of explicitly playing up Biden as freaking evil incarnate to play to their base that Biden, unlike Obama, was going to go full mad tyrant to crush his enemies, but that it was OK because "they had it coming".
(This goes back to the 00s, as the left were forever fucking butt-hurt at how impotent the Democrats were and how, when they finally DID get partial power back in 2006 via retaking Congress, they gave Bush II a public pass by refusing to impeach him and later on, complaints about Obama being too obsessed with optics and being a "respectable looking black man" and not a rabid nigger as far as constantly compromising on pretty much everything when it came to negotiating with Republicans on just about everything and refusing to just wholesale crush/destroy the Tea Party and their ilk for daring to say "no" to him).
3. As a psyop to taunt the right/Trump supporters by both accusing them of being mentally ill reality deniers while wholesale taunting them with "yes, we stole the election and crashed the economy, and we also plan on killing you and raping/mutilating/killing your wife and kids and putting the ones we don't kill in concentration camps because we find it funny to do so!".

I can buy it. We sent a lot of shit up under trump and Russia apparently has developed a way to destroy satellites
Also Putin allegedly said they have a cure for Cancer. Ironically I think that may increase the chances for war with anybody affiliated with big pharma

Not buying the accusation that starlink contains nukes.
It's too low in earth orbit and designed to burn back to earth rather quickly in satellite terms.
It's basically raining free nukes to anyone who can catch them as they fall.
Also, LOL at being able to enrich enough fissiles to launch 90 of these fuckers a month.

I don't think it's space based nukes. I think it's the hyper-sonic missile meme finally coming true. Some journalist retard hears about rockets and nukes and "novel delivery" and guesses space nukes because they are guessing from incomplete info.
Also complete and total meme even if true because it assumes M.A.D. isn't already a thing, or that Russia would try and first strike. And a dozen other things.

That's been true for a long time.
Khinzals were first deployed against ukraine more than 18 months ago to expected effect.
The chinese then launched a glide vehicle that circumnavigated the globe and ditched in the western pacific shortly after.
The US R&D failed their testing several times so far.
I guess too much diversity and inclusion and not enough physicists.

I'll copy my post from the other thread regarding the "news" about Russia. TLDR: In my estimation, this is all about FISA at the moment.
All of this is a smokescreen. Here's what the whole thing is about... Section 702 is FISA.
I'll let you guess what this glownigger's biggest worry is. I think you can figure it out...
I was head of the NSA. In a world of threats, this is my biggest worry.

Gen. Paul M. Nakasone was commander of the U.S. Cyber Command, director of the National Security Agency and chief of the Central Security Service until Feb. 2. This column was written in his official capacity while still in office.
Approaching the end of my five-plus years as director of the National Security Agency, I have heard the same question again and again: What’s your greatest worry as you conclude decades of service to your nation?
People expect me to name a particular country or challenge threatening the United States — maybe China or Russia, or even criminal hackers targeting our critical infrastructure. I have plenty of worries about each of those. What worries me most, though, isn’t an external threat, but the possibility that we are on the verge of making a grave mistake.
I worry that we could make ourselves blind to external threats such as the ones I’ve named and more if Congress allows a critical intelligence collection authority — Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — to expire in April, or renews it with crippling restrictions. Either move would be a self-inflicted wound that our nation cannot afford.
Let me go back in time to explain. I was at the Pentagon when terrorists crashed Flight 77 into the building on Sept. 11, 2001, killing many of my colleagues at the Department of Defense. As the 9/11 Commission examined how our country could have suffered such a devastating attack, it became clear that our government had been unable to connect the dots between terrorist plotters abroad and terrorist operatives on our soil. We needed to tear down the wall between the FBI and the intelligence community that was blocking access to foreign intelligence information that these agencies had already lawfully collected and stored in government databases, so that we could use it to better protect Americans.
We also needed a sensible way to work with U.S. technology companies whose services were increasingly being exploited by terrorists and other hostile actors abroad to plot against us. Congress provided just that in 2008 with the creation of Section 702.
This law strikes an elegant balance in allowing intelligence collection that targets only non-Americans located abroad while imposing stringent protections for Americans’ privacy anywhere in the world. Applying it requires the approval of a federal court as well as oversight by the executive branch and four separate congressional committees — meaning that every branch of government has a say in how we can use it.
Fast-forward to 2018, when I became commander of U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency. Congress and the president had just reauthorized Section 702 — and for good reason. It works. Indeed, it has become more important than ever given its contributions to thwarting a wide array of national security threats.
Some examples: Section 702 has disrupted planned terrorist attacks at home and abroad, and contributed to the successful operation that killed al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in 2022. Information acquired through Section 702 has provided insights into the Chinese origins of a chemical used to synthesize the deadly drug fentanyl and into drug-smuggling techniques. Section 702 has helped uncover gruesome atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine, including the murder of noncombatants and the forced relocation of children from Russian-occupied Ukraine to the Russian Federation. Section 702 has even resulted in the identification and disruption of hostile foreign actors’ attempts to recruit spies in the United States.
Perhaps most strikingly, as the undersecretary of defense for intelligence and security wrote in December: “Today, our warfighters depend on intelligence reporting using collection obtained pursuant to Section 702 to provide critical insights on the battlefield, including the current crises in Europe and the Middle East.”
Section 702, in short, is essential and irreplaceable. But it is set to expire in April, unless Congress acts to renew it.
Failure to do so would be a self-inflicted wound of the highest order. At this moment, as the United States faces escalating threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, foreign cartels, sophisticated hackers, WMD proliferators, spies, terrorists and more, allowing Section 702 to expire would be an act of willful self-blinding.
The same is true of sweeping proposals to cripple this important authority, including requiring the executive branch to seek approval from a federal court to conduct U.S. person queries, which involves organizing and utilizing information that the government has already lawfully collected. That would be precisely the opposite of what the 9/11 Commission urged: It would erect a new wall blocking our access to intelligence already legally in the government’s holdings that could be used to protect Americans, effectively making it inaccessible to our intelligence professionals. That would be a huge step backward.
Instead, we should take a step forward by reauthorizing Section 702 — and improving it. That means enshrining in statute the extensive reforms the intelligence community has already made to prevent noncompliant queries of 702 databases. We are only human, and mistakes happen, but the key is to learn from our mistakes and be transparent about them so they can’t happen again. These are the boldest reforms to Section 702 the executive branch has ever proposed in a reauthorization cycle, and they’ll better protect both our security and Americans’ privacy.
Serving the public in uniform for more than 37 years has been the honor of a lifetime. As head of Cyber Command and the NSA, I urge Congress to reauthorize Section 702, and to do so without imposing new restrictions on how the government can use the vital information it provides. As I saw all too clearly at the Pentagon that morning on 9/11, American lives are at stake.

Germans now view issues like migration and the threat from radical Islam as more immediate concerns than the menace in the Kremlin.
Russia is showing no signs it plans to wind down its unprovoked assault on Ukraine two years after launching a full-scale invasion — but Germans now view issues like migration and the threat from radical Islam as more immediate concerns than the menace in the Kremlin.
That’s according to new research published Monday ahead of the Munich Security Conference, a gathering of top political and defense officials which kicks off in Germany on Friday.
While Russia was perceived as the number one threat in Germany in last year’s Munich Security Index, it has now slipped back to seventh place in the annual report.
The pattern is replicated across the G7 group of countries — the threat posed by Russia was cited as the top concern in surveys conducted in late 2022 for the 2023 Munich Security Index, but has dropped to fourth overall a year later.
The findings come at a crucial moment in the war, as Ukraine seeks to shore up European support as the United States’ commitment to the war effort falters due to continuing Republican opposition in the U.S. Congress.
The European Union agreed a €50 billion aid package for Kyiv earlier this month, but there's already evidence it’s insufficient as Ukraine’s financial needs grow by the day.
The survey’s conclusion that the German public is less concerned by the Russian threat than it once was is a sign of the shifting priorities in Europe as the intractable war enters its third year.
While Ukraine has inflicted significant damage on the Russian army since the war began, its 2023 counteroffensive made slow progress. In a bid to reset his country’s military strategy, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy replaced his top general Valery Zaluzhny last week with Oleksandr Syrskyi, and embarked on a wider leadership reshuffle.
The war in Ukraine is expected to dominate this year’s Munich Security Conference. Though it has not been confirmed, Zelenskyy himself is widely expected to make an appearance — two years after he flew to Munich to make a desperate plea for international help at the conference just days before Russia's full-scale invasion began.
The Munich Security Index 2024 also reveals how the war in Ukraine is competing with other geopolitical threats and priorities.
Concern about mass migration and radical Islamic terrorism now top the list of threats in Germany — a turnaround from the previous year.
The threat posed by radical Islamic terrorism jumped to second place, compared to 16th last year. Mass migration as a result of war or climate change, which came in second last year, now ranks sits at number one. The authors of the report attribute the trends to the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, noting the survey was undertaken in October and November last year.
“As in many other countries, the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 appears to have prompted a spike in German concern about radical Islamic terrorism,” the report notes, adding that “Germany now has the highest level of concern about migration among the countries surveyed.”
The survey, which interviewed 12,000 people last fall, also provides a bleak insight into the thinking of many of the world’s wealthiest countries. Large parts of the populations in G7 nations believe their countries will be less secure and wealthy in 10 years’ time, the report states. But the prospects for the so-called BRICS — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — are judged more positively by their populations.
A whopping 72 percent of the world's population now lives in autocracies, compared to 46 percent a decade ago.

Well, if I had any say in it, I'd use Starlinks sats and make them carry Davy Crockett-type mininukes with a 20-30 ton yield. Deploy several thousands of them in a low orbit over whatever you want to threaten and watch the coping and seething in colour, 3D and live. The advantage here is that you ain't need that much fissile materials or a very complicated delivery system. Just make the Starlinks 'hard' enough to survive reentry.

Starlink satellites only weigh as much as a heavy American. they'd just burn up on reentry harmlessly
