What does the evacuation mean for what’s going on?

Hexbear is down. Expect an influx of people to this megathread if it stays down for too long

Defends vs. High-Explosive rounds fired at the back of the turret

I don’t see how this is in China’s interests at this point. Committing to a position right now just presents more risks than potential rewards.

Ah that makes sense. In the US, I don’t hear a lot of chatter blaming the war for our woes, just the usual partisan politics stuff

but now people are increasingly connecting the war with their declining standard of living. This is now translating into a political backlash against the people who championed the war.

Could you elaborate on this? I dont follow. How is our standaed of living connected to this war?

What counts as the end of the US? Did Rome end when the city proper was sacked, or when Constantiople fell?

If the US balkanizes would that be the end? Or maybe when DC falls to a foreign power or collapses and loses influence over the states and territories?

I suspect we’ll have something that calls itself the United States for a long time to come in any case

I have no idea what landback entails. That’s why I asked. I get what OP was mocking here. I want to know what the actual advocates for this are seeking, not what reactionary opponents assume they are seeking

Genuine question: What would returning look like practially? Isn’t most land stolen from indiginous groups in general? Would we see people ofnforeigb descent emigrating back to nations of historical origin? Or is this a question of who governs the land, and not who resides on it?

Or that Nordstream 2’s sabotage wasn’t a false-flag perpetrated by the very people that benefitted from it the most, and not their mortal enemies!

Big if so

I’m genuinely ignorant on this: What makes China Marxist today? From my uneducated standpoint, they do seem to have a lot of the trappings of capitalism. What is their long term plan to advance communism (I’m assuming the current state of affairs is temporary and strategic)

One encouraging trend I’ve been noticing lately is immigrant communities moving into poor neighborhoods and setting up ethnic groceries in low-rent buildings or lots . Because immigrant communities tend to concentrate in areas, that guarantees a market for what would otherwise be a niche product. Then other poor US-born neighbors start shopping at those stores simply because they’re local and sometimes even walkable.
