Seems like standard issue World of Tanks chat

Birbs are god's gift to mankind.

And I'm not just saying that because I'm a furry with an avian fursona

I'm one of the special snowflakes that uses a mythological critter

Namely, a gryphon

ORDNUNG JA?

To be purged with holy promethium

That is the fate of the heretic

Oh boy

Thankfully a serious refunding of the military is gonna happen here

2

2% GDP

Yes.

And it's not a requirement, just a VERY SIGNIFICANT URGING.

's just the actual letter of the document

No, the problem is that the Soviets collapsed

NATO countries definitely met the requirement

Until the USSR went belly up

Secondly: Those countries -are- shitholes

Service guarantees citizenship?

Honestly the fact that the US doesn't have a Foreign Legion equivalent blows my mind

All jokes aside: No

All people that enlist with the Foreign Legion become French citizens at the end of their service, or when they're injured in the line of duty (French by spilled blood)

Only for Green Card holders. You can join the FFL even if you don't have a Green Card equivalent.

Same

I just did

Dubai and the UAE are working on that

Trying to redevelop themselves as the ultimate tourist spot

Tax haven too

Jordan is heavily westernizing

Jordan was bad for a while, yeah, but ever since the current King is in charge, they've been heavily working on modernizing

The guy's an avowed Star Trek fan, and has even cameo'd on Voyager, so.

He's also trying to get rid of royal powers faster than the government is willing to take them from him

No, not kidding

'Abdullah, a constitutional monarch, embarked on neoliberal economic policies when he assumed the throne, and his reforms led to an economic boom which continued until 2008. During the following years Jordan's economy experienced hardship as it dealt with the effects of the Great Recession and spillover from the Arab Spring, including a cut in its petroleum supply and the collapse of trade with neighboring countries. In 2011, large-scale protests demanding reform erupted in the Arab world. Many of the protests led to civil wars in other countries, but Abdullah responded quickly to domestic unrest by replacing the government and introducing reforms. Proportional representation was reintroduced to the Jordanian parliament in the 2016 general election, a move which he said would eventually lead to establishing parliamentary governments. Although some local opposition groups called his reforms inadequate, other observers praised them. They took place amid unprecedented regional instability: an influx of 1.4 million Syrian refugees into the natural resources-lacking country and the emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Abdullah is popular locally and internationally for maintaining Jordanian stability, and is known for promoting interfaith dialogue and a moderate understanding of Islam. The third-longest-serving Arab leader, he is regarded by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Center as the most influential Muslim in the world.[1] Abdullah is custodian of the Muslim and Christian sacred sites in Jerusalem, a position held by his dynasty since 1924.[2]'

Honestly, NATO should be heavily investing into Jordan rather than Saudi

Yeah, true

But still.

Jordan is, IMO, the stereotypical example of 'you never hear about the good stuff'

Same deal with Kuwait, when's the last time those guys were in the news?

Netherlands reporting

I'm a blue avian creature

You're already mindraped.

Yeah, but it isn't the Ninth Circus yet

Lol

I would prefer to not give myself liver chirrosis.

I'd point out the major other travel bans that previous presidents did

Rule one: you never debate someone to convince then

Them*

You do it to convince the fence sitters watching

No completely sane person drinks alcohol or smokes. If we'd discovered either of those two in the modern era, they be banned, and banned hard.

They just got grandfathered in.

You wanna talk unconstitutional, forget CA and NY gun control. Maryland is where the real violating of the 2nd happens

Maryland bans the AR-15 by name, and considers any weapon that you cannot 'distinguish from the banned weapon within 10 seconds while -blindfolded-' as copies and therefore, banned.

I drink as well,I never said I was completely sane

I noticed that this is now a magical place

Lace makes me happy as fuck

Just sayin'.

Considering there's absolutely no evidence to suggest it, and 'it's an accident' is a far simpler explanation, I'm gonna use occam's razor and say 'Alex Jones spouting bullshit as usual'

Razorfist does the best impression of Alex Jones

Libertarian gamer/metalhead

His channel is called 'The Rageaholic'

Not so much pro-trump as simply anti-establishment

Made a -great- video in favor of the US borderwall, especially by also highlighting how it would benefit Mexico.

Namely by it forcing the Mexican government to either reform or face revolution, because the disgruntled lower classes wouldn't be able to just -leave- Mexico anymore.

My favorite quote from that vid is 'A country as ecologically, culturally, and resource rich as Mexico has no right being this fucking poor'

He's one of the greatest wordsmiths on youtube, IMO.

His rants are nuclear hot, in the good sense.

Not the 'ooh, spicy and idiotic' way.

That too, he did an exceptional, factual, rebuttal of the entire 'MJ diddled kids' argument, he convinced me as well that no, MJ, while a clearly troubled man, did not, ever, diddle a kid.

His taste in music mostly matches my own, other than that I can't stand black metal

So that's a plus too

He's played in a band, but he doesn't play any of his own

He streams once or twice per week with his faithful companion (and video editor) Terran Gell, and is currently in a series where those two, in a podcast format, review Star Trek Deep Space Nine episodes.

Same, really.

(Fun fact, the current King of Jordan (at that time still crown-prince) actually cameo'd in a Star Trek Voyager episode.)

This is literally the first time I've heard about it

It's, from what I can tell, a semi-joke

Summarized it's 'you're not a bot and this is a satirical website. Are you capable of understanding satire, and if yes, do you want to enter?'

kek

Jesus fucking christ what's the sauce on that

I wanna spread that

That, and it's useless

Vaginal yeast doesn't produce the CO2 needed in nearly enough quantity

And it's, y'know

Illegal

It's illegal to feed someone bread made with vaginal yeast

(at least, without their knowing consent)

Because a yeast infection is a disease, and as such, you're legally trying to infect someone with a disease

Sneks are a cute tho

There is no such thing as a government with even remotely close to comprehension in IT, let alone competence

Look at the guy's name and icon
