Look, just put one guy on a canoe and sent him over there with a flag that he stick in the ground and declares the conflict started again, and I'd be happy.

oh yeah seoul is fucked regardless

now they're negotiating some conventional disarmament which will honestly be really helpful for both sides.

north korea expends way too much of its meagre gdp on a military that would be suicidal to use

ooh, Saints Row 4 on steam sale. I'll take that president.

Is the Steam Halloween Sale finally going?

ah, talking about steam sale, metro 2033 was free yesterday

i can't play it, but i was able to add it to my library

there are a few others they made free, just go through it all and add them, even if you can't play them now.

AFAIK, you get to keep them all.

Sometimes you have to actually install + play some to keep

I think you don't even need to install the client. Just make an account, even if you're not sure if you're ever going to play them.

And sometimes you can keep, but still have to pay to paly at a later date

The last ones I added are still showing up and started after sale ended.

But, I think I also remember some thta would no longer work.

So, I am not sure.

Is “ Trump made me do it “ the new “ the devil made me do it” ?

56 year old "wanted father figure" "father abandoned him as a child" and "he was trying to create an identity."

🤔

No one is gonna believe that on a jury.

‘We are preparing for war’ Russia issues SHOCK warning over US withdrawal from INF Treaty

Daily Reminder that the Obama admin found Russia in violation of the INF 5 years ago because of the Iskander-M

Then why not work to bring Russia back into compliance? How does the death of this treaty make the use of nuclear weapons less likely?

This *is* working with Russia to bring them back into compliance.

Russia doesn't want the US to develop new weapons because the US has way, way, **way** more money to spend and makes way better weapons in general.

So Russia badly wants this treaty.

But Russia also needs to deter China and India, which are soon going to surpass them in technology.

Trump's offer will probably involve the US and Russia working together to get either India, China, or both to sign into a new INF.

This follows the same pattern that Trump has followed with other renegotiated deals. Scrapping or threatening to scrap a deal that the other party wants badly is the first step to get them to make concessions. In this case Russia needs to give up their Iskander-M systems.

You need to internalize the idea that the US is strong. We are the strong party. We do not need to make concessions or compromises - others do.

But I keep seeing in the end little change or Trump even being taken advantage of. I'm having trouble seeing the win that comes from this and can easily see the damage it causes.

I mean the NAFTA rewrite was pretty minimal. And NK is still developing nuclear warheads.

And how does driving the entire Pacific into China's arms help us? That's what the rejection of the TPP resulted in.

In the end we lose massive credibility and goodwill for little benefit. Or that's what I am seeing. If you don't see that then keep helping me see your point. That is why I am here, after all.

Didnt NAFTA result in Mexico having to pay higher wages? Thus closing the competition gap between US and Mexico manufacturers?

To explain myself a bit, I thought the internet would bring us together and that with the election of Obama we'd finally emerged into MLKJ's land where we saw "content of character" and not "color of skin". What has resulted from the past 10 years has been bewildering to me.

The USMCA Treaty will result in higher wages ($16/hr US) for making cars meant for import into the US.
