@MapleEngineer Interesting that there is a Wikipedia article on it. I have a close relative who was an ER nurse in a deep red state when the pandemic hit. Lots of deniers, refused to mask up, infected all of the caregivers who were overwhelmed with the sick and the dead. They didn’t have enough beds or morgue space. So I have zero sympathy for people who put others at risk. There are a million dead, ironically many of them Trump voters. I give zero fucks for the antivaxers.
@southsamurai the liberalgunowners magazine on Kbin has unfortunately not been very active but there are indeed a shit ton of us out there and not fucking happy about being threatened
@Chozo Thank you for taking the time to write out this explanation. I didn’t realize how it actually works.
@Blamemeta No, not on Mastodon. Just showed up when I replied earlier. No idea why

@PugJesus In my view (and recollection) the whole point of the "star wars" project was to force the Sovs to spend themselves into collapse, which they did. That is why Reagan got credit for "winning" the Cold War. The Sovs were created on a false economic foundation - I'm referring to the forced collectivization of agriculture by Stalin as an example (not the human loss associated with it). So I think they were never whole as a point to rot from.
To be clear, I'm not a fan of Reagan and never was. He was out of control in Latin America, supported the Shah, lots of bad things. Realpolitik has been controversial for many years but I used the term as a description of how things are. And I agree - fuck Kissinger. The last thing we need is that guy negotiating on his own with his "old friend" in China.
Have a good evening.
@Lapus Thank you - I'm just a guy on the internet. Others in this thread agree with you, I'm not here to roast or educate anyone. Cheers, my friend.
@PugJesus That was a good line, but he was a very effective communicator. In my view, Reagan wanted what happened to happen - for the Soviet Union to collapse. "Mr. Gobachev, tear down this wall!" The US fucked up a once-in-a-millenium opportunity after the collapse, but that is another topic. After Vietnam, other than in Central America - Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras which were in our sphere of influence, no American President was going to meddle in a regional conflict. Moral opposition doesn't mean anything to anybody, but that is realpolitic.
