This suggests your advice to everyone is that we should all just give up.

Is this meant to sound condescending towards me? Or am I misreading it?

This seems decidedly abnormal…I would have thought private discussions between a US citizen and the US ambassador - likely conducted on US soil (embassy) in Israel - would be confidential and he should tell them they have no right to the content of their discussions and frankly they can suck his nuts from the back.

These people have no choice now, they’ll do anything to protect him because they know it’s all over when he goes down.

Yes, Christian nationalists, the next world is paradise and this world is a crime-ridden hellhole. Please expedite your passage.

Someone needs to invent a launch-and-forget autonomous drone model named Luigi.

No one thinks about that on an Internet forum and policing that seems incredibly petty. Especially when you do it by calling someone a dipshit.

Unless you go out of the way to tell people what pronouns you want, then don’t be upset when people pick one.

If you don’t specify pronouns there is no way for anyone to know your gender on an Internet forum, so your derogatory animosity comes across as particularly petty.

How do you judge success or failure?

How would you respond to the claim that at the very least it permanently rewired the concept of legitimate government based on ideas like nation, citizenship and rights, even if the outcomes of that rewiring were neither linear nor immediate? Creating institutional templates, accelerating modern politics and seeding democracies?

This is parody, right?

Kamala was objectively a better choice than Trump, it was obvious to anyone who wasn’t brain rotted by people like Rogan.

Drones are a tool of the modern battlefield. A tethered drone does not need to fly autonomously. Of course you can program for autonomy if you have the skills, and the autonomous task for armed resistance is not overly complicated, could be as simple as a straight line path.

Can’t be had for 50 dollars (I didn’t say this), but learning to fly and build drones like that is available to just about anyone, and inexpensively. Moreover drones have non-killing civilian applications - SAR, emergency services, videography - so the skillset can be built without raising concerns or attention.

Ordnance is added later as needed.

Entirely hypothetical, of course. I’m not suggesting anything, but I will point out that the 2nd Amendment seems to have done absolutely nothing but cost the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands, including young children. When it comes to it, the guns are useless. They ended up being a fashion accessory bathed in the blood of toddlers.

If you’re saying you’re not American, it wasn’t obvious from the context.

By the way the drone is not for surveillance. It came up in the context of guns, so I would think it were obvious what drone usage was intended. I’ll not go into it here, but if you want a hint look up the state of the modern battlefield in Ukraine. Guns are almost irrelevant.

Frankly having a signal jammer and a cheap tethered drone is all you need to solve problems even a gun can’t solve. Oh, and joining an improv group, if you know what I mean.

Voting and protesting is all we really have.

Voting is not going to mean anything. You are putting far too much undeserved trust in the remaining democratic institutions.

Protesting only works if voting works, otherwise who are you convincing with protest? It’s masturbatory.

You need a general strike, and you need protests with clear open carries. You need to step it up so that the people in power can see the power of the people. Unfortunately you’re not ready or willing to do this because the risk of violence is very real. And it seems the American people are not ready to risk their lives to fix their country…yet. But their opponents are willing to do that to break it. The good Americans are going to come too late to this realization.

First, have you ever flown one of those, or do you think you’re getting 247 automated drone overwatch with 50 dollars? How do you think they’re controlled?

There are many ways to get a drone to fly autonomously over a short mission. You may want to figure it out considering where your country is headed. In my country we’re forced to start thinking about it, because you guys may not fix your shit (and your defeatist attitude is contributing to that). Trump is planning an invasion of Mexico and Greenland. You need to catch up.

Secondly, no, my country doesn’t fucking do that. Maybe assume a bit less.

Your country is not what you think it is. The good Americans who want to stop it from becoming a fascist imperialist monster have not figured out or accepted what they need to do to get there. If you’re one of them I suggest you may want to rethink what your country is. You’re assuming too much about the legal and democratic systems remaining. You’re assuming the military won’t just follow orders, and you’re assuming the media and the cultists won’t just fall into lockstep. You need to fundamentally re-evaluate, and quickly.

You are deluding yourself.

The US is doing this with the aim of surviving and thriving. They are chasing treasure, land and the dream of a better life after. Those are not goals that motivate people to fight.

For Europe, as for Canada, this fight is existential. There is nothing people are not willing to do in an existential fight.

You’re out of your mind if you think the US has the upper hand here.

This is one of about a half dozen threads about the shooting taking place over at r/Conservative.

It is absolutely disgusting. An innocent woman got shot in the face and the first comment is this is the left’s fault.

Did you read the US national security policy they just released? Have you been listening to everyone over the last few days? They make it very clear they intend to secure the Western hemisphere because they think it belongs to them. Your country thinks my country belongs to you. Trump is very likely going to move on Greenland, and once the pretense is gone I imagine he would do exactly what he claims to want to do, in formal policies and all over the media.

I don’t know why Americans seem to think “oh he’s just joking this time”. A rule of thumb: If it involves making people’s lives worse, he’s not joking. He wants to control the Western hemisphere and if he has to kill millions to do it, he will.

You’re in denial if you don’t think Trump is going to drive the world to war. Or maybe you happen to believe that my country does in fact belong to the US?

Well moving EU troops into Ukraine would rapidly cause Russia to go to war with the EU, and in short order, US would be forced to make a decision as part of NATO.

Unfortunately I suspect the US would use the moment to backstab the EU, abandon them, and attack Canada, Greenland and Mexico, since no one could come to their defense.

We need an alliance with China.

Hey guys, it’s Canada, over here on the far shore… see me waving?

Hey, yeah…we uhh are in need of some new friends that we can trust. We’ve got lots of stuff over here. We’ve been mostly cool. We gave our all in the last two big dust ups.

Not to put the pressure on but we seem to be running out of runway.
