NATO doesnt have any articles about one member attacking another.

I’m not pretending it’s likely that we’ll have free and fair elections followed by a peaceful transfer of power, but we’re also not in “no chance in hell” territory yet, and it is our most likely option.

If midterms come and go and it becomes obvious that elections were not both free and fair, or if there is no peaceful transfer of power in accordance with the will of the people as expressed by a free and fair election, then the third and fifth sentences of the Declaration of Independence come into effect.

Until that time, or under more favorable conditions, the fourth sentence of the Declaration applies.

I’m genuinely sorry you couldn’t come up here.

Locked down planes? Install Arch Linux on them

I fly arch btw

Seems like an oversight.

I’d like to cite the last two definitions given by Shoshanna Zuboff for surveillance capitalism:

7. A movement that aims to impose a new collective order based on total certainty; 
8. An expropriation of critical human rights that is best understood as a coup from above: an overthrow of the people’s sovereignty.

Not me. I will be taking The Long Sleep if the US invades.

You’re describing a world not worth living in.

Ironically I think joining BRICS would be a great move for the EU right now, both as an immediate out from the dollar based economic order and to pretty much jam soft power crowbar into BRICS itself that might turn it into a more open economic union and not just Chinas (and Russia playing with an unplugged controllers) sphere of influence.

That said I’m probably missing a TON of nuance that makes my take basic and dumb.

The easy way out. Let’s at least go out partying like it’s 1812.

In all seriousness, I hope you don’t proceed. I can totally understand the anger and hate, but you would literally waste your life: they will paint you as a leftist radical and just use your attack as an excuse to arrest whoever protests against ICE, claiming they’re the reason you did what you think about doing.

You can do as you please. That’s not for me. I’ve been in a heightened state of anxiety for the past three days and it’s only going to get worse.

Burn the White House again, not like it’s occupied anymore.

You REALLY think any other NATO’s member would lift a finger? Some will just make public statement saying that’s “not following international laws”, some will call for “de-escalation”, but no one will actually declare war to the US. They won’t even send equipment’s support to Denmark, as all they can spare was/is sent to Ukraine.

Similarly, is Canada actively preparing its army to defend Greenland from a US agression? Anyone believes Canada would do anything at all?

No one, absolutely no one will come defend Greenland, not even Denmark. They would have to send F35 to defend it, with their missions entry going through a server… in the US!! (And these geniuses doubled down, ordering more F35 last october, and they just ordered more military equipment from the US!).

No NATO member will declare war to the US.

The only option they would have is to immediately build a military base in Greenland with forces from all European countries, ready to fight. And then, MAYBE Trump will think twice before invading it.

Sorry, but these are prudent things to do if you wish to prepare for potential military activity in your country, or indeed some other form of catastrophic event.

You may choose to do these or you may not, but whether you want to live in this world may be irrelevant to whether it is thrust upon you.

And if one’s choice is instead to simply fold over and let someone like the US take over their country, I highly recommend that they keep that to themselves, and don’t get in the way of the people who are willing to fight. To be neutral is one thing, to be a traitor is rather another, and traitors do not historically get treated very kindly, particularly during occupation, when the state is too busy to enforce due process and mob justice is more likely. Mob justice is characteristically unpleasant.

You’ve missed my entire point. I’ll be choosing to take The Long Sleep if the US invades. Our country would never be normal again.

I am just waiting to see the mental gymnastics the regular US people will go through when they will be asked to fight vs EU people and they will just go with it.
