Why wouldn’t we? The PS5 is already 3* years old, most cycles are around 7 years

I’m someone who studies history a lot.

Everything you said could be replaced with 1910-14 as the current year and you’d be pretty close to prevailing opinions of the day.

Wars need men. Well trained men ideally, but he who has the numbers usually wins.

In WW1 It took 3-6 months to churn through the professionals, in WW2 I don’t recall off hand but we’re looking at months. In Vietnam it did take 5 years yes, but that’s not the kind of war that Europe is or should be preparing for. In Ukraine it seems likely to be around 9 months, for Russia at least (unless you’re paratroopers then 3 days).

Outside of huge technological and leadership gaps you need the bigger army to win and that’s why conscription is the necessary evil.

You are by no means wrong. But outside of ancapistan types, I think everyone can say the governments job is to protect it’s citizens from would be invaders. With world tensions rising along with various other crisis’ it’s just the best move, being prepared for the worst and taking precautions.Trained vs untrained soldiers could be the difference between 500 casualties and 2500 (the infamous German school battalions of WW1 for example)

It’s one of the few actual necessary evils, unless your country is on the offensive of course.

But this one is very cool

What a dogshit article.

Sure what sen. Blum. Said taken out of context is bad but the people he’s trying to get some support out of with his statement is the right wingers/capitalist types to be less anti us support in Ukraine.

Romney as always is indefensible.

From real Politik perspective they’re 100% right based off only the title.

From real life they’re correct that helping Ukraine helps the USA indirectly and even if somehow lives weren’t being lost to this war it would still help the military industrial complex greatly in ways that actually benefit the USA at least somewhat (we’re tossing out a bunch of outdated, expensive to maintain vehicles and getting up to date ones instead) and this is one of the rare times that the USA is doing something for a relatively good cause for once.

I get this is an anti war publication but be fucking real, war ain’t leaving anytime soon, every ideology, tribe, government type, and religion has and will again engage in it with very few exceptions. And those exceptions usually mean tiny island tribes where there’s no land to conquer/reclaim/defend

If they’re willing to make sacrifices why not ~1-2 hours a week dedicated to unionizing their workplace

Hope this is what he wanted

Anyone celebrating this is a fool.

This will lead to more spying on you, gives police even more power, and offers you only less noise for how many cars?

Trees, greenery and better housing design might solve the issue or make it not bad.

Self reporting, followed by an inspection to verify the car’s sound could solve this issue.

But more surveillance for another ones of the world surveillance states is so fucking stupid.

This isn’t a trump 5d chess thing or whatever but it might honestly be the smarter move for him to just keep riling up his base and make it a guarantee riot if he gets jailed.

Seems pretty likely he’s fucked legally so he’s put in a situation that breaking law and order is probably his best move.
