Not a single cent of American taxpayer money should go to any nation that isn't the United States of America (I'm talking about you too, Israel)
One of the main reasons why America as a nation was founded was to get the fuck away from retarded Eurocuck regional slapfights

What does that even look like? Does a country go so bankrupt that it starts auctioning off entire provinces to the highest bidder? At what point is a country a failed state and can be incorporated into another foreign power?

It just gets smaller. Look up the Louisiana purchase sometime.

I like to imagine that after the series Quark became a conservative pundit broadcasting from the bar, complaining about his IDIOT brother sorta like that Obeme sibling

As an amusing aside, Jerry Doyle (Garibaldi from Babylon 5) was a radio pundit for a while before his death.

It would have to be mass infrastructure failure combined with owing a fuck ton of money to everyone. It can't use debt to claw its way out so the only way out it begging for annexation to whatever world power claws its way to the top in the next cycle.

It's hard to imagine because since the "end of history" the powers that be decided that borders were sticky instead of negotiable so it only happens on a small scale.

Obviously I’m not talking about sound past the threshold of pain you fucking retards.

The threshold of pain is also measure in 1/10'th of a bell and is pretty fucking spot on. Just thought I'd point that out since we're now questioning the reality of (checks notes) "sonically induced hearing loss"

If you use Chinese or Korean or Japanese or some other, lesser Asian language in the cockpit, you will have higher rates of deadly accidents with airplanes.

English is objectively better and safer. English will be the language of meaningful commerce from here to Alpha Centauri.

English is required for coms with ATC but that’s because it’s a standard, and that standard matters far more for Europe than Asia. In Asia, nearly all the planes going into an airport belong to that country. In Europe you have a billion carriers from various countries flying all over the place.

Pilots and crew can communicate in their native languages. It doesn’t affect safety. If you think it does, post some evidence.

English isn’t a particularly special language, it just became the standard because two very powerful countries at different points in history happened to use it. I’ve studied French, Japanese, and Chinese as well as dabbled in some other languages. I see no reason to find English better or poorer than any of the other languages, just different. After all, ‘Pull up’ is an incredibly simple sentence in all of these languages.

Meanwhile, music people with Tinnitus still are able to continue their careers. How is anybody 100% disabled from working because of Tinnitus

Federal jobs are meant as a gibsmedat program for the left.

The military has been retooled over the past 20 years to be just another federal jobs program.

I would wager there's similar "100% disability" shit going on with the various federal jobs that were purged. Weren't some people talking about how they had coworkers that had "worked" with them for years but they had literally never seen before in their lives, in person, online, or otherwise?

It just gets smaller. Look up the Louisiana purchase sometime.

We had three main post-independence purchases, everything else was a cession from a Europoor declining power, annexed, or won outright

>it's 2035
>Canada's economy stagnates because it refuses to trade with the US out of spite
>it cannot do international trade because it does nothing when its ships are taken by pirates
>doesn't make enough food to feed all its people and starvation is rampant
>government goes full authoritarian with the blessing of the twitter class
>the EU can't come in to save them because they are too busy dealing with Islamists burning everything down
>First Nations carve out their own rural states and Canada does nothing
>Québecois declare independence by saying the Anglos colonized
>Québecois conquered by US when their terrorists attack the US
>President Vance finishes northern border wall
but at least they have gender affirming care

Broccoli did a lot of guest host work, forget if he ever had his own show.

Sounds like it's working

Good thing the legitimate yemen government is preparing to invade Houthi controlled areas

https://m.jpost.com/middle-east/article-849945

The US has blown up important Houthi infrastructure in preparation. The Houthi also can't rely on Iranian support this time.

Ohhh buddy, you sounds like so many buck broken chimps in 1972 that thought Operation Linebacker, a maxium effort saturation bombing of Hanoi for 2 whole weeks with pavelow after pavelow run by b-52s was going to bring a US victory to the war in Vietnam.

"its working! its working! they only shot down a few of our bombers but surley their little shitholes are bombed out of existence, final victory will follow any day now"

I disagree with them as much as you do, that does not mean for one second ill let you gaslight me into forgetting how Korean, Vietnam, Iraq 1 and 2 and Afghanistan ALL went, Yemen will be the same if we make the mistake of getting our marines boots dusty again.

I’m privy to taking Amazon at their word given that reporting the tariff amount would reveal the purchase price they paid for the goods. If someone actually thought that was a good idea, we should be shorting Amazon because they are full of morons.

Vietnam had a multi thousand year history of repelling invasion, and everyone in Vietnam saw Ho Chi Minh as their legitimate leader

In iraq and Afghanistan, we were overthrowing existing governments.

In the case of Yemen, the majority of the country is still controlled by the actual Yemeni government

ALSO, there is a clear objective. The clear objective is the unimpeded transit of the world’s busiest shipping canal

One of the main reasons why America as a nation was founded was to get the fuck away from retarded Eurocuck regional slapfights

you mean like how jefferson had the barbary wars? Or how the Mexican American/Spanish American wars were all "regional slapfights" explicitly designed to conquer territory/create a colonialist empire where the aftereffects are still being felt today with Puerto Rico/Guam/American Samoa

or just in foreign aid without direct military involvement

america provided aid to Liberia to get it set up, paid mexico 18.5 million dollars after winning the mexican american war, sent supplies to Ireland for famine relief, protected Haiti after their independence, and assisted Latin American Republics against Europe

im on my knees begging you isolationist niggas to read a book, america wasn't all by itself doing nothing pre ww1

Korea

Huh? We won Korea. North Korea's goal was to take over the South, which the US successfully prevented.

are you retarded? did you miss the entire second half of my post where it showed that 80k yemenite soldiers are going to be invading Houthi territory?

i never advocated for american boots on the ground, there's already american aligned boots on the ground getting ready to fight

Meanwhile, music people with Tinnitus still are able to continue their careers. How is anybody 100% disabled from working because of Tinnitus

Is that really what is being claimed? 100 percent disability because of Tinnitus?
That would be pretty insane. 100 percent disability sounds like something completely debilitating, and not just chronically annoying.

 

[StudMccool]

Vietnam had a multi thousand year history of repelling invasion, and everyone in Vietnam saw Ho Chi Minh as their legitimate leader

whats the excuse for Afghanistan?

How about Korea?

What about Iraq the first or second time?

Huh? We won Korea. North Korea's goal was to take over the South, which the US successfully prevented.

No our goal was to prevent the rise of communist nations, we wanted a UNIFIED democratic Korea and we almost had that until 1 million chinnese soldiers came pouring across the northern border and the nuclear option was ignored, likely preventing worldwide nuclear war but alost preventing a winnable war from our end.

Trump really doesn't like anything signed by this "Trump" guy.
