Last thread pointed out the 'flaw' in his argument that he was sitting in his fat ass in Cuba, doing nothing. He's a larper. But that's diluting the argument. Or muddying the waters. Is he right, or wrong?
Nukes are actually incredibly cheap. The ones USA has in silos ready to launch cost around $7million each. I think they could find a few dollars in the budget. For the children, of course.

The construction might have cost that much but the r&d cost a lot more.

Ok but the overall cost isn't $7 million. And you need to constantly maintain them so they launch when you want them to.

They sit in a tube. They are launched on archaic computers that purposefully is never updated. There is almost no maintenance being done on these things.

I can't wait for Elon Musk to claim he can own a nuke as per the Second Amendment.
they used them. nuclear tests are reminders. the only "walls" the US Army are defending are those of third world countries whose ressources the US exploit, but which are nevertheless an acceptable loss, not the walls of the US territory proper which is inviolable because of the nukes.
pretending that Guantanamo Bay is like the black gate of Mordor that at any moment can just explode open and an army of orcs will flood out and rape everyone to death is so grand of a delusion Nicholson should have been declared not guilty based on being completely insane.
It's the greater principle. Like how each individual truck driver may not be delivering anything important, but if all truck drivers decided to fuck off to Mexico where they might get some respect, the country will collapse.
Every class of individual in America thinks they are the indispensible ones and while some of them are right, that doesn't place them in a position to just murder people without the approval of the system. It'd be like your right fist starting to punch your left index finger and telling your brain to "fucking deal with it fag, you need me".
>if all truck drivers decided to fuck off to Mexico where they might get some respect, the country will collapse
They unironcally should. Why should they work for a system that hates them?
If you like politics so much, let me fill you in on their only move: they will be replaced by robots, and the way for them to get the most money before that eventuality comes to fruition, is to work and shut the fuck up. By all means, move to Mexico and make less money, where you will replaced by robots a little bit further down the line, where you have gathered less resources in total for your loved ones. But you won't do any of that. You'll continue to drag your feet, to try to ruin the economy because you don't like the letter next to the name of the person in charge of the Executive branch, because you're a child, not a man. All the while hurting your loved ones raising the cost of goods, while your revenue continues to slip. Real fucking brilliant.
>the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
and what freedom is that exactly? the freedom to only question what an insane boomer tells me I may? this retard is sitting on vacation in cuba while the southern border is being overrun and he lectures me on being entitled?
Freedom is such an ass backwards concept. I've yet to hear of a single formulation for it that isn't just a meme that expires after even a few moments of scrutiny.
Ownership of land would require either the absence of other contenders to that land, an authority that certifies your ownership of that land or a weapon by which you enforce that ownership.
So either something that's fundamentally impossible as long as other people exist, a conditional priveledge granted and easily rescinded by someone stronger than you, or a situation where you are forced (i.e. the freedom of your actions is reduced) to protect "your" land. Complete meme.
You know you said absolutely nothing of value here. You seem to be under the impression that freedom can't be obtained with the cooperation of other people, which is beyond retarded. That's the kind of sophistry I would expect out of an antifa anarchist chud.
Aaron Sorkin is a shit writer who knows nothing about what being in the military is like not what the environment of a court room resembles. This is him doing what he does best. Creating an imaginary ideological opponent and BTFOing him. To roaring applause.
It’s better than Newsroom or West Wing, at least. West Wing especially is insanely overrated television that’s just Democrats patting themselves on the back for doing virtually nothing and defending the status quo. Best Aaron Sorkin kino is still Social Network, probably because Fincher told Sorkin to knock that shit off
People like Aaron Sorkin are the reason things in this country have regressed so terribly. They failed miserably at producing progress, sunk this country further into debt and then saddled the new generations to deal with it because they sat around and did nothing. And that’s boils down what his shows are. “Good people” doing “good things” when it in actuality it’s the sort of liberal fairy tale bullshit that isn’t real, has never been real and only deluded the people who watched those shows as the seeds of discontent flourished and crumbling foundation started to give way. At least they’re better shows than Madame President. I’ll give him that.
>a bunch of verbal diarrhea
What's caused us to regress is traversing further down the theatre path that is called politics, instead of electing governing officials. We don't need trained actors to be our voice. We need the people to be the voice. Basically, everyone needs to drop the egos and stop trying to get their 5 minutes of fame on tiktok, for starters. That's the first step to breaking free from histrionic personality disorder that's infected the system.
Infantry under a ZOG military is for amoral people who just want to legally kill humans.
Theyr usually alright guys to hang with but 99% of the time they quit due to lack of opportunity to kill people if you chat with them about it.
That's not histrionic. They usually just leave disappointed and get a new job before their bodies get too banged up. It's notikw they come back and shoot up malls or whatever.
They're perfectly functioning people who just went a legal human kill. It's what the role selects for
No. How do you figure that?
I meanthat we an actual good faith question. What's histrionic about it? It's just mentioning a group. Nobody is acting out.

this is stupid the infantry is irrelevant when you have nukes. the "people on the walls" are Border Patrol, not the Army.
If nukes are so relevant why hasn't anyone ever used one since 1945?
because every nation has one now. Thats why if we arm school teachers with nukes it will stop mass shootings
That wouldn't be cost effective. But nukes should be legal federally for U.S. citizens per the Second Amendment. It doesn't say "except nukes"
Nukes are actually incredibly cheap. The ones USA has in silos ready to launch cost around $7million each. I think they could find a few dollars in the budget. For the children, of course.

Freedom is such an ass backwards concept. I've yet to hear of a single formulation for it that isn't just a meme that expires after even a few moments of scrutiny.
Freedom would be, in my definition, to be able to own a patch of land.
Now I'm going to have to take a step back and think why that is my definition of freedom.
Ownership of land would require either the absence of other contenders to that land, an authority that certifies your ownership of that land or a weapon by which you enforce that ownership.
So either something that's fundamentally impossible as long as other people exist, a conditional priveledge granted and easily rescinded by someone stronger than you, or a situation where you are forced (i.e. the freedom of your actions is reduced) to protect "your" land. Complete meme.
