Honestly, given how idiotic we’re being these days, I wouldn’t be super shocked if the UK also told us to kindly fuck off.

Iirc they replaced a bunch of editors with LLM review

Same as it ever was

It’s why riot cops and other similar security paramilitary (or even straight up military) types are often brought in from other regions - because there’s a much lower likelihood that any of them will identify and sympathize with the protesters. It’s a well-known tactic.

disturbingly pervasive shuffling noises intensify

Japan: omg what does it take to get our citizens to FUCK

Also Japan: work harder, peons

Lmfao NYT coming in hot with the AI slop 🤪

Honestly though, that’s a hilariously bad and super obvious fuck-up

Afaik there’s no mechanism within the nato charter or any of its founding documents or principles that would allow this. So the US doing this would probably only hasten NATO falling apart, and lead to the forming of a new iteration of it without the US.

Edit: and, uh, NATO itself agrees with that first part

It’s not against the rules, lfg

And absolutely nothing bad happened to Hungary as a result. See how easy that was?

I live in Boston; I am familiar with the Smoot unit lol

That’s… not how SLMB maintenance works.

But there is a maintenance and support supply chain, which is effectively a kill switch in the long term

They’re… kinda not though. The UK uses Trident SLBMs in their SSBNs. That’s a US missile.

France, on the other hand, rolled their own. It’d really strategically behoove the Royal Navy to figure out how to equip their next iteration of SSBN with M51s instead.

He did kill a pope tho

I’m unbothered by that - It’s lemmy, them’s the breaks sometimes 🤷‍♂️

No - what I mean is that Hungary and Slovakia have been resistant to finding alternative sources to Russia since the broader invasion started in 2022. Orangeboi being a geopolitical fuckwit is incidental, and exacerbated the situation for sure, but as much as I hate the piece of shit he didn’t create THAT aspect of the situation.

Americans will use literally anything except the metric system 😔

You realize that that’s 0% related to orangeboi, right…?

It’s impressive how reliable of a tactic that is lol
