    Regardless of how you voted, as OP put it, if you cross into our country with the intent of invading, it’s a round through the brain, or a blade to the femoral or carotid arteries, or, optimally, an axe to your achilles, forcing you to waste manpower on treating the wounded. And we won’t be providing your wounded with free health care.

    The way it looks, though, soon the US military will be primarily racist white men on the combat front, so it will be a service to humanity to correct that evolutionary cul de sac of attitudes.

    Of course, we’ll have to infiltrate and sabotage your country as well, taking out your supply chains, messing up your comms, and disrupting your mechanization. We’ll probably burn down a white house or something like that, too, just for tradition’s sake.

    Ideally, what I’d much rather see is you guys fight it out, take out your oligarchs, and split into more manageable, less fanatical subgroups of states. Maybe some of them can even eventually join us as Canadian territories.











  • If you’re going to keep talking like this, then get it really correct, dumbass. No human group is indigenous to North or South America, every single group immigrated here. Some did so 30,000 years ago, 20,000 or so years before the Levantine fairy tales claim the world began, and people have been coming here since then. And things were pretty decent in most parts until the religious nutcases arrived. And then the mercantile types came along and made things exponentially worse. As someone who was born on these lands, and grew up with many First Nations friends, I have the utmost respect for them and their cultures. It sounds like you’re more of a troll than anything else.


  • The article makes a statement, “governments are not good at big yech projects.” What’s ironic is I have seen government departments do outstanding work on tech projects, except for when they hire it out to private firms. Then the costs run over, things are late, and all sorts of mistakes happen. When they let their own subject matter experts do the work, it tends to work better.

    To be fair, this is from personal observation, but I gave worked on almost 60 technical projects over the last three decades, and a decent percentage of thosd have been government projects. And, to be clear, I worked for the outside private organizations brought in. The government teams were extremely good at what they do.
