And I didn’t say it was a territory, I said it was “like a colony”

That’s territory

The 13 colonies were British territory

And I was reading to NK, not the entire Korean Peninsula

Hawaii was an American colony, same with the Philippines

I made a comparison to how the Chinese had their mitts on the place.

USSR enabled the NKs to attack, the Chinese helped them not collapse

I think the Chinese Civil War was still going into 1948 or 9 🤔

Yeah the USSR used their T-34s to help attack as well. But the main push back was when USA troops got so spread thin, that China set up ambushed along the big road back.

what?

The US wasn’t the only country there, tons of Western countries sent troops

Yes I know, but more USA troops when above the parallel and got pushed back.

The Chinese crossed the Yalu and the UN was too arrogant to realize the Chinese would get involved

The Chinese outnumbered the US 5:1

So if they *hadn’t* pushed back the UN, I would have been astonished

Mhm

Considering it was a fighting retreat, the UN did very well

Oh yeah. But it was still brutal.

Largest and most successful evacuation by sea in US history. The worst winter combat in US history and a Marine division fighting 4:1 odds and making it out

One survivor made a comment along the lines of “it was like watching 5 of your friends die, wonder how you made it past THAT ambush...looking back now, it’s a wonder any of us made it out alive”

Myanmars military just staged a coup against its leader

as in today?

my dad had me watch the 6 minute cut of the yuri bezmenov interview. Man was it worrying. I'll watch the whole thing at some point, but it def worth checking out

I wouldn't have been *that* astonished. The Finnish faced worse odds during the Winter War. A lot depends on how well the opposing troops are lead, rather than just how many there are.

It goes quickly, fascinating interview.

I had watched the full 40 minute interview, dam thing is both scary as fuck but very insightful on whats going on today

this is great

was looking up the proposed 28th amendment and it lead to this golden article

Which one

There are a number of proposed 28th amendments

will grab the article

https://www.bklynlibrary.org/28th-amendment#

this is the trash one

Oh

That one is trash

this one is good https://apnews.com/article/62a8b65326e2434c91e605c1fa983875 but it would require the states to pass it by 3/4 majority in the legislature which will NEVER happen

as much as I HATE the AP and the bulk of the article is ragging on a couple of states

basically paragraph 3 and paragraph 5 are what matter will copy/paste here

mendments must be proposed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, or by a constitutional convention convened by two-thirds of the state legislatures. The latter has never happened (all 27 amendments have been proposed by Congress), but, in either case, a three-fourths majority of the state legislatures (or conventions) is required to ratify.

I take that back P3 and P5/6 are what matter
