How about polar bears?

Fortunately or not, both the UK and France have thermonuclear teeth to bite back if the totally-not-a-Tsar tries. And as far as the UK goes, it’s the same thermonuclear warheads, missiles and submarines as the USA, using the same procedures and with the same capabilities.

Those are amazing!

Maybe they’re talking about the fediverse or something? Idk.

Pihole might help?

Didn’t say they weren’t entitled to know about it, just the reasoning that might’ve gone through the government’s collective heads when not disclosing or looking the other way on Boeing doing an Epstien.

American law

I mean there may simply have been internal reports already, just highly classified to avoid “embarrassing” the nation and not accessible or known to the general public.

Submariner here. After several incidents in which submarines imploded, burned, or otherwise caused death and/or endangered thermonuclear weapons systems, our current procedures specify every single item used down to specific serial numbers, with specific authorized substitutes. If the authorized substitute cannot be found, the procedure is simply not done, and if necessary for ensuring the actual safety and conduct of the submarine’s primary mission, the entire multi-million-dollar mission is cut short and the ship surfaces to either receive the requisite supplies or goes back to port. Specific serial numbers for lubricants, specific stress-tested seawater-proof pressure-resistant alloys for bolts, specific serial numbers and part numbers for fuses, specific torque wrenches, even specific serial numbers for indicator lights. Every single maintenance step of certain procedures are read out loud at least three times and re-confirmed and acknowledged by both the worker and supervisor before being conducted, including the opening and closing of maintenance panel doors.

As an active duty member of the US Navy and specifically the submarine forces, people like you make me less and less hesitant to set condition 1SQ for nuclear launch when the time comes.

Ah, so you are a Trump supporter, then?

Highly recommend Firefox with uBlock origin, and there’s an addon called bypass paywalls clean which does exactly what it says.

Shipmates I’ve talked to in the Navy, at least, would not obey any such unlawful orders. As an active duty submariner, in accordance with my oath and creed, neither would I.

Is it “freedom to choose” when a restaurant tells black customers “we don’t serve your kind”?

And if it’s a one-horse town and there’s no alternative clerk?

Hey now, don’t be disrespecting amphibians, frogs and geckos are cute.

It’s not about Europe. It’s about the massive fuckton of TS//SCI shit shared directly with FIVE EYES and NATO, which shows the exact locations of US strategic nuclear weapons, strategic weapons protocols, intelligence gathering techniques and sources, etc that can almost immediately be sent directly to Russia and China as soon as the US walks out the door. It’s about the first line of defense missile detection radars, the cryptologic keys, Global Campaign Plans, Contingency Plans, PBNZ coordinates, non-overflight coordinates, FLAGWORDS, etc.

And that’s not all - you also lost all international trade, everywhere, forever. Bye-bye middle eastern oil and Chinese manufactured goods, because all your oh-so-friendly shipping lanes and freedom of the seas is now contested waters full of could-be-privateers. If the EU, by pure necessity, pivots Eastward into a pan-Eurasian bloc, that’s game for the US.

Another Hazbin Hotel fan in the wild!

I mean if you’re gonna be technical, “society” will literally survive a nuclear exchange and total civilizational collapse. As long as there’s more than one person and those people aren’t killing each other (or even if they are), there’s “society”.
