    Most of them. There are a few that actually seem to be working and it must be so frustrating for those that actually care.

    But i would rather they stay in DC and actually use their legislative power than show up for the papers and then do nothing. Though i suppose showing up would still be better than doing neither.

    Right? This is a 14yo’s version of what they need to be doing. They don’t need to be walking in the street, they need to be impeaching and removing every part of this administration. Voting on bills to end this horror, not be physically present where they have little power.



  • The threat indeed, why we had a “nice” cold war, instead of the human ending one. I think both sides would have some amount of them. Not sure how that would play out since we’ve never had a large scalce war between two nuclear powers. Have only had small limited area, limited troop skirmishes. Like USSR/China near Mongolia and Pakistan/India at various border points. And even more limited is the India/China border skirmishes, that dont even have rifles, but rocks and sticks.














  • I would argue that the USSR is only the most responsible when looking at it through the loss of human life. It seems likely they would have never made it to Berlin without lend-lease. No one knows if the Germans could have regrouped and done better without the aid to the USSR, maybe the same number would have died, just in different locations. But, most of the USSR’s ability to move material around was due to the allies supplying them with logistics vehicles, both trucks, and railroads/engines/RR cars.

    Quite the assumption to say someone directly participated in murder and torture, without knowing anything about them, or the job they had in the military. Coulda been a cook for all you know.

    Murder is also a legal term, and supposing this person didn’t act outside of the RoE, wouldn’t have committed murder. Being a soldier in a warzone, that killed someone does not make you a murderer. I shall now await your post about how awful the US is, and that I’m such a terrible person.
