      Everything.

      An unconditional surrender is a surrender in which no guarantees, reassurances, or promises (i.e., conditions) are given to the surrendering party. It is often demanded with the threat of complete destruction, extermination or annihilation.

        How can you unconditionally surrender a war you didn’t start. Makes this a war of conquest and the fact that Congress is rolling over on it is disgusting.

        Every vote to continue should have the Congress person tried for treason.

            I’m just surprised their articulating it that way because it make this a war of conquest in no uncertain terms, all while they’ve been trying to soften their language by using words like “mission” and “operation” makes it all the more disgusting.

              I’m not disputing that. I’m just saying when the mongol horde arrived, the besieged cities didn’t say “How are we supposed to surrender? You attacked us.”

              I don’t think this is any new PR strategy by the American empire, lol, it’s just that without even the pretense, without some previous narratives that made the average American support death and destruction, this entire scenario is obviously ridiculous and everyone can see it.

    So Trump is demanding a country unconditionally surrender but it’s not a war?

    Remind the conservatives in your life that they’re far, far less intelligent than the average dog.

    Surrender from whom? You fucking blew up their fucking leader.

    What ever happened to that Trump bounty? I hope it went away and didn’t rise to unimaginable wealth.

    Fuck the markets. All my fellow countrymen who worry about how this will affect their electricity bill or gas price can go fuck themselves.

      NGL America being a decaying empire meant the first thing I did when I could afford it was get solar (the 2nd was get an EV).

      I haven’t started growing my own veg yet, but non-crank level prepper shit is common sense if you can afford it, supply chain disruption will pale in comparison to countries slowly moving away from the USD as their global reserve.

      Is it unreasonable to be afraid of cost of living? I don’t really understand your take here
