What do you call it when someone purposely stands in traffic in front of a vehicle and then get run over?

@RaceGated @oelma__ Depends on your definition of "White"; Provided she is decent/loyal, not crazy, and doesn't have self-image, control or "daddy" issues, my take is there are a lot of guys not necessarily considered "White" who would love to build a home and breed multiethnic children with her.

@Jamesjonesik8 I don't have much to say to him, but I can help him pack and offer a ride to the airport.

@alphafox So, to review the bidding, you're take is that the "Stationmaster" slots on the Underground Railroad, Fighting at Shiloh Church, the Battle of Chickamauga, and Sherman's March, as well as four generations teaching in "majority-minority" classrooms were all mistakes on our part?

@Marlayna29 Because we (humans) introduced Sin into God's creation. Therefore, creation is now a battlefield between Good and Evil and we are capable of both and have obedience issues. One consequence is our bodies and minds suffering & eventual physical death, with our souls being eternal

@SGTWipper1Each Depends on tactical scenario. To take out a bridge 35 miles past the FLOT, F35. If night and I need loiter time, AC130. If it has to be absolutely positively destroyed, A10. If pinned down danger-close and need help from someone with dangerous levels testicular fortitude, AH64

Best Close Air Support platform.
Which one are you choosing?

@Alinavisooo No. Any attempts to ban bacon would be justification for dusting off and firing up "Bockscar" and the "Enola Gay".

🚨SERIOUS QUESTION:
Would you stop eating bacon if your Muslim neighbor asked you to?
A. Yes
B. No

The average person doesn't know what's happening here. No, it's not a foot race. 😉

@FTTB4941 @CynicalPublius It might not have ended the world or wiped out humanity, but the world as we know it would have been over. NTM how badly things can go sideways on a Submarine in ways where a life jacket would have been useless.

I get slightly mad at veterans who feel it is unfair that they call themselves veterans because they never served in a combat zone.
I always tell them:
"You raised your right hand. You were ready to die for your country. You're a veteran."
This is particularly true for Cold War vets who stared down the Soviets. There should be an official Cold War Service Medal.
Happy Captain@EODHappyCaptain
Social media proves that No one gatekeeps being a veteran, like a veteran It seems online there is always a reason you’re not part of the club. You don’t have the right award. You didn’t see combat. You saw the wrong type of combat For what it’s worth, I’m proud of all of you.

@BearandRoo2 @Osint613 The construction through the Hindu Kush and the mountains of Northern Afghanistan is going to be lit. The line will need constant maintenance and repair/rebuilding due the the terrain and the inherent geologic instability in the region, without even touching on "Human Factors"
English
@Osint613 They have no route through Afghanistan yet. Anyone familiar with the railway map knows this is blowing smoke.
English
Iran says it has established alternate trade routes through Russia, Central Asia, and China, claiming any blockade will backfire and become "America's biggest regional mistake."
English
@real_Qpatriot So that the EU can defend Spain instead of NATO? Because Spain spends relatively little to defend itself.
English
🚨 WATCH: In a jaw-dropping statement, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez calls for the creation of a "true European army" immediately rather than in a decade, with Spain committing all necessary resources. He calls for a unified European army rather than individual national armies.
English
@VikingRobVWO They were going to do this back in the 1980's and "Big" Air Force blew up the deal, just like they screwed up the AV1 back in the '60, took over the Caribou and got rid of it, and wrecked the C-27 program. There is a reason the Army doesn't play nice with the Air Force.
English
What if, and hear me out, the AF just hand receipted all the Hogs to the Army, the Army Aviation branch expanded and trained their own officers and warrants to fly and brrrrrt, and 15T expanded to fixed wing maintenance as well.
Buzz Patterson@BuzzPatterson
I won’t believe it until the Hogs stop flying. The corporate Air Force has been trying to get rid of A-10s since I worked at headquarters in the 90s. Not sexy enough for the fighter guys. They’re a critical asset for our ground guys and they prove themselves over and over and over…

SHOULD PORK BE REMOVED FROM SCHOOL CAFETARIAS OUT OF RESPECT FOR MUSLIMS?
A. YES
B. No

@JamesSurowiecki There are VERY good arguments for the Electoral College; for example, in Canada where the Western Provinces are about to jump due to domination by Lawrentian provinces. Considering how much GDP in cities is based on shuffling money/paper, the 2nd/3rd order effects would be Bad!
English
There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.
English
@VeryBrexitProbs I don't think anyone WANTS the UK to fail, but for us in the US, our our most objective window into the UK is naturally military and diplomatic power. Using these metrics, it is hard for us to wrap our heads around the seeming collapse of UK military power over the last decade.
English
Trump, MAGA, Farage, Reform and GB News hate the UK and want us to believe the UK is a failing state compared to the USA.
The facts disagree.
On practically every measure of quality of life, health, safety, education, environment, the UK would rank as the best state in America.
The land of the "free " (where people get yanked off the street by masked men) is also the land of half a million medical bankruptcies a year and the world’s largest prison population.
This is the reality.
Dominic McGregor@DominicMcGregor
If the UK joined the US as the 51st state. We would be the poorest state in the entire union. Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us. I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita. We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations. We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases. The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.
English
@Microinteracti1 I hope you're right but that is an assertion without evidence at this point. If the US responded to Japan's invasion of China and Hitler's rampage across Europe the way the EU responded to Russia's Invasion of Ukraine, much of the world would now be speaking German or Japanese.
English
Europe Has the Soldiers, the Steel and the Will. Now Build the Army.
There is a conversation happening across Europe right now — in parliaments, at kitchen tables, in defence ministries and university lecture halls — and it always arrives at the same false wall. “A European army is impossible,” they say. “Too many different weapons systems. Too many languages. Too many national interests. It cannot work.

@Bbmorg Maybe we can do an exchange with y'all and give you some of the folks here that hate Trump more than they love their Country and would rather see the US fail in anything Trump could potentially receive any credit for; Sounds like a win-win!
English
Those Brits who love Trump more than their Country should go to live in the US.
