The U.K. US relationship *

That seems to have hit somewhat of a dry spell. Bejing is acting as if the commonwealth and Washington are no longer allies.

As I am in norway, I pray to the Gods for a free and strong London.

Its the best chance I have for a calm retirement.

@AdamS Although I am not sure we can be blamed for Chechnya... and I think our motives were mostly good in Bosnia and Syria. I personally was reluctant about us going war in Afghanistan in retaliation for 9/11 and I did not support the Iraq war, because I saw no link to 9/11 and didn't believe the had WMD's - 50 years from now, historians will lament how a cowardly, criminal act perpetrated by dozens of individuals (by borrowing the plot of a Tom Clancy novel) for a couple hundred thousands dollars and 19 lives, resulted in the world's largest super power to spend trillions of dollars, tens of thousands of American lives, countless Afghan and Iraqi lives - all precipitated by that single heinous act. Not to mention that everything we did ultimately did way more to radicalize people against us and I doubt we are any safer in the end. I am hopeful we are learning from our mistakes...

America was never involved in Chechnya. That was Russia. Did you do your research? America has not been bankrupted by the war on terror. Your country has barely been involved in the wars. Like I said, many of us are happy to let you finance and fight your own wars and establish your own freedom of navigation.

Sadly I agree. But there's more to it.

I condensed 20+ years into a paragraph, so I wasn't really going for comprehensive. 😉

Bankrupted? No. Helped destroy the American middle class? Yes.

Man this chat sure has filled up with activists...

I am way too reactionary to be an activist... Can an armchair QB be an activist?

Not even close. The entire war on terror cost about 2.4 trillion. That is still less than the yearly cost of social security and all of the other entitlements programs.

Im not an activist. Im not even a slacktivist. I just wonder about such things as why Assad heads a regime, but Al-saud a government.

Then again, I also wonder what happens when an Egyptologist runs out of papyrus.

I was just watching the Viva & Barnes stream that was posted by @james j ... I like the way they laid things out especially the way Barnes eviscerated Powell/Ramsland. I understand why he is focusing on signatures, but here is the problem. Signature verification is fairly subjective and open to interpretation. They might have to contact voters to see if they sent in ballots. They do have a curing process for ballots that would otherwise be rejected and it doesn't seem that they had to wait for election day to process the reception. https://georgia.gov/vote-absentee-ballot Because GA seems to have put a lot of effort into dealing with mail-in ballots, it would be really stupid to have not followed the process.

Anyone know if this is true?

I found it hard to believe US would use a Canadian aircraft so I researched further

After there, that tail number landed in Washington DC

Just found it

Left Washington on the 12th to Kansas.
Spent 1 hour or so in Kansas.
Then went to sand Diego.
Spent the night in San Diego then went to Kansas again. About 1 hour in Kansas then back to Washington.
From Washington to Toronto where it stayed for 3 nights

I'm confused. Are you saying there are ballots on this plane? What does this have to do with the election? You lost me here.

@meglide, you just advanced to level 4!

I saw a video earlier about a surge in military aircraft flights. Does this have to do with that?

It was reported that the army seized Dominion servers in Germany and some Dominion servers or info from Canada

@Anacaona I am not sure. I have not seen that video

Trying to find the German flight now. A different plane was used. Probably a c-130

Guessing!

If anybody's interested in why the constitution wasn't the monumental human achievement for freedom... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrC5lRY4Kr8

oh ... I stopped thinking about the Dominion thing once I saw the hand count in GA come out exactly the same as the machine count

Good for you! I can’t stop thinking of it

@meglide Precisely

just do a little research about what they did in GA in terms of ensuring every ballot had a paper trail associated with it

There's a reason they were 100 on the hand recount
