I dislike getting things right.

- I'm sorry your foresight worked :(
- Got any better predictions for us?
  
  You don't want to know what happens.
  Just...run. Far away.

I thought there were no new wars under Trump?

So, not that it matters anymore, since this is now a dictatorship, but that law is only applicable during a declared war. I wonder who Congress declared war on?
- According to the Brennan Center for Justice, the President can invoke the act without a war declaration if a foreign government threatens or attempts an “invasion” or “predatory incursion” against US territory. Invasion in that context has historically been defined as large-scale attacks, while “predatory incursion” has been defined as small skirmishes. And it’s the latter that Trump is hinging his argument on by declaring that the gang he’s claiming to target is working on the orders of the Venezuelan government.

- Trump has been talking about making Canada the 51st state, annexing Greenland, going to war with Mexican cartels, and is actively telling the military to start making a plan for taking the Panama canal by force. He clearly doesn't give a shit about who is allowed to formally declare war, he's pushing to make this happen regardless.
  
  ~~Dubya Bush~~ Trump: "I am the decider and I decide what is best."
- Ourselves obviously

America: Thanks to trump, it’s now the greatest shithole on earth.
- Hey now, neoliberalis happily paved the way.
  Ie: that removed Schumer

Well… I guess now we know when he’s planning to declare war.
- Largely on half the country first.
  
  I think the saying is, that Hitler declared war on Germany before the world.
  
  The enemy within, enemy of the people, radical left vermin, elon's posting about the woke mind virus, and all that.
  Stand back and stand by.
  Purge commencing in 5..4..3..2...
- Brown people?

Hey did everyone know that Russian soldiers rape other Russian soldiers of lowest rank/caste? That's male on male rape but according to Putin Russians aren't allowed to be gay, so in my opinion that's even more fucked up.
Here is some info about the men, women and children (as young as 4 years old) Russians have raped and murdered in Ukraine. Its a Wikipedia article which goes into a little more about the other barbarity and degradation of Russian soldiers, including castration. So I guess its not so surprising at all that they're raping their own soldiers.
That's why I don't like Russians here pushing their propaganda and pretending to have a sense of humanity while defending their country's inhuman actions.

- It’s also irrelevant here.
  Dedovshchina happens in most post-Soviet states.
  It is practiced by Ukrainians in Ukraine.
  Also practiced by Azerbaijanis in Azerbaijan.
  Practiced by Armenians in Armenia.
  Turkmenistan had to formally declare the practice of Dedovshchina illegal in 2014.
  It is a problem that originated from a total fuck up regarding conscription laws way back in Soviet times.
  It is also being healed and becoming less common in many post-Soviet states including Russia (especially due to 2008 reforms) and Ukraine.
  
  You heard it from the source folks. Male on male rape by Russian soldiers is irrelevant. Given to you by our very own Russian.
  I'd say that its very relevant to considering a black site existing where any manner of crimes could be committed against human beings and noone could intervene - they wouldn't know. I'd assume that evil acts would be committed there.
