I think you may be underestimating Europe. National militaries is one thing, and pop culture understanding of the region is another, but you'll find plenty of armaments and munitions in private care all across Europe. Not to mention how some Baltic and Slavic countries are still armed to the teeth, despite having a deficit in military spending.

In any case, the complaint about Europe not spending enough on military is a tired argument, because Europe wasn't neglecting their military - Europe was literally told to remove large swathes of industrial military complexes.

For more info, ask an African, the Chinese, the global south, everyone told Europe to put their guns down - and all across Europe military assets ended up in private hands.

The joke being that in the cities you won't find much guns, but travel out to the country and you'll find large showrooms.

But yeah, if the US betrays Europe, that might be the final nail in the coffin for European and US relations, so much so that I think the CIA would just drop Trump to avoid diplomatic suicide.

Ah yes, the revolving door argument, the favourite of prison industrial complex barons - and also the whipping boy of conservative election cycles.

It also created lots more crime, because being "hard on crime" means depriving families of breadwinners, giving them a new social status so that they become second class citizens, and even saddling them with debt they can't pay while being fed through an industrial complex where they get traumatized and brow beaten until some of them turn feral, in effect actually fostring more crime and criminals - which makes "hard on crime" as a self fulfilling prophecy, and also a leftover mainstay from authoritarian nationalism and fascism...

...because conservatives and liberals are fucking dumb. But still, vote Kamela, you stupid removed.

"oH bUt sHe LiBrUl n NoT dIveStInG fRoM IsReAl, ThErEFoRe mAkE oUiE sAd" I know!!! I do not care, because it is a dumb argument for stupid people who huff their own farts. Trump would give Netenyahu the go ahead on complete and total genocide in Gaza, and you know it. Gtfo here AND VOTE KAMELA, YOU STUPID removed!!!

I'm sorry, yankies, but this election cycle is just the worst in recent memory. It's so dumb and frustrating.

Being a fan of Diogones the cynic I to hate vanity. Nowhere is this more apparent than in congress or the house of representatives.

Quoteth Diogones: "in a rich man's home there's nowhere to spit but his face", and republicans are trells, slaves to their masters and as vein as the emperor's New clothes, while pretending to be "rebellious". A bunch of posers, really.

I have found my kin.

Come on, guys. It's just a bit of cultural genocide, abuse, mind control and forced labour. It's not that bad. /s

The funny thing here is that Russian mobsters probably sold a few of those guns.

Oh, what's that? You think there are no Russian mobsters where you live? That's a hard maybe.

Also, there is no crime in Russia... since Russian mobsters work hand in hand with local and national police in Russia.

Just another reminder of how corrupt that federation is.

Gotta let them know the US system performs post-birth abortions all the time and that DeSantis endorses it.

Perhaps they are so expensive because it's AM5. Like if AM6 is an overhaul to increase bandwidth and cut costs? That's a win. We have been blessed with how long they produce these sockets. It's a stark contrast to Intel.

But yeah, if there is little to no reason to go from AM5 to AM6 m, then I agree.

Heck, why not make it official? 90% of the world has.

Ngl, Voyager is a banger. Does it drag on here and there? Yes. But my gawd is it good. Like my favourites list is kind of borked to some people, but for me it's:

1. DS9
2. Voyager
3. Next Generation, and
4. Enterprise.

Prodigy ends up as an honourable mention, and the rest of the modern shows end up as dishonourable finger pointing. Even "Lower Decks" had me thinking it was just another cash grab, which sucks, because I'm sure the writers and actors are trying their best.

But yet, I'm still counting the months until I've forgotten most of the shows so I can go back AND BINGE THAT SHIT AGAIN!! In fact, chronologically, based on the timeline.

Maybe we could have a schedule here on this community about when we're going to watch which season of which show and have discussions about it, so we can stay in sync :D

That's correct most places that understand judicial presedence, just not in countries run by idiots.

Thus the tradition was carried over from the dark place. Go back? Namaste.
