Giles Goat<p>A <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/political" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>political</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/hypothetical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hypothetical</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/quesiton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quesiton</span></a> .. saying that I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ( much ) about international politics .. but I am wondering IF "that country" would get "that bomb" that apparently they don't have yet WHAT kind of negotiating power / demands they could do that I suppose "they can't do now because they don't have it" that scare so much "the other countries" ? Obviously "nobody is going to launch it" so it's all about negotiations/demands what would be those that they could not refuse ??</p>

chris actual<p>Not that I didn't laugh my ass off, and not that he didn't deserve to get shellacked in front of the press corps, but if I were on Obama's writing staff, I'd have toned down the Trump ownage a bit in hindsight.

Different Than<p>People in masks are kidnapping Americans off the street. Some of these people claim to be ICE agents--also problematic, because ICE's jurisdiction to do this is not established--but who the fuck knows? Random dudes in masks are grabbing people. </p><p>Also, people are being sent to hell-prison in another country with no due process, even when the US regime admits they have done nothing wrong.</p><p>Purely hypothetically (I am definitely not a person who would do any of this):</p><ol><li><p>Wondering what happens if someone getting snatched, or a helpful onlooker, pulls out a legally registered firearm and shoots the attacker, who is not identified as law enforcement in any way except verbally and who is not following anything remotely like due process for arrests.</p></li><li><p>Wondering what happens if a bunch of ex-special forces folks or whatever stage a wild prison break in El Salvador and free a bunch of Americans or American residents. Of course El Salvador would get pissy but what would/could the US do? There was no legal basis for sending them there in the first place.</p></li></ol><p>Overall, I'm just wondering what the legal/practical landscape is, now that our government is explicitly violating laws in ways that hurt innocent people. What happens if people legally fight back? What happens if people fight back in ways that aren't legal but are also arguably not illegal?</p><p>This whole thing is a can of all the fucking worms.</p><p>(Note: I know that the real answer to the first scenario is probably "ICE, the president, and cops come down on the person like a ton of bricks and neither Congress nor the courts will defend them even when they have behaved lawfully").</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ice</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/elsalvador" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>elsalvador</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/hypothetical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hypothetical</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/concealedcarry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concealedcarry</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/firearms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>firearms</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfdefense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfdefense</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ruleoflaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ruleoflaw</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/policestate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>policestate</span></a></p>

InspiredByBlackElk<p>Just going to hypothesize something here... for posterity and accountability to weird strategic thoughts I have when I try to channel this Musk creep. The tech-bro's have already taken over. That is why they are now sending the DOGE teams with armed escorts and guns to smash small offices of the government. Trump is the vindictive figurehead. It's the tech lords running the show, and they're going to do a deal with China to get rid of Putin.</p><p>🇨🇳 🇺🇸 🔀 🇷🇺 </p><p>I'm open to the possibility of something beyond shocking happening. There have already been rumors of revaluing the gold at Fort Knox, restructuring the debt, a national cryptocurrency... </p><p>What about, a merger / joint venture with China and the US becomes a total one-party state, USA Inc. They'll leave the illusion of elections, and the Dems will continue to be the useful idiots as they have been for a decade. </p><p>The game is no longer Dem vs. Rep. There will be no normal midterms. The struggle at the top is between the Christian Nationalists, the technofascist (Nation State) crowd, and the MAGA base that Bannon leads. Think of Bannon's people as the brown shirts they'll eventually use to silence dissent.</p><p>Imagine a chip-access deal or some sort of organized takeover of Taiwan (stripping the island of its sovereignty in Trump fashion) over a set period of time for USA, Inc. to be able to scale semiconductor fabs.</p><p>The culture war is a distraction.

You're all roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, telling ghost stories, having a good time. </p><p>Then a bear attacks.</p><p>The bear roars, everyone is screaming, it's bedlam. The bear attacks several people, and now has a child cornered against a tree. The bear roars, the child cries. You grab your rifle and aim at the bear...</p><p>...When another camper, one of the adults, jumps in front of you, blocking your shot.</p><p>"How fucking dare you?!" she shouts at you. "That is an innocent BEAR! That is a living creature deserving of compassion and respect! You must forgive the bear no matter what it does! Put your fucking gun down and leave that bear alone!"</p><p>The other campers are huddled around bewildered. The bear is nipping the child's shirt, prepping to take its first big bite. The child is screaming. If you do not shoot the bear, the bear is 100% guaranteed to eat the child and everyone knows it.</p><p>What do you do?</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/questions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>questions</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hypothetical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hypothetical</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scenario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scenario</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/man" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>man</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>society</span></a></p>
