Candidate

Trump thought it would be a cakewalk after Venezuela, he was convinced by Rubio + Graham, Israel and possibly AI.

Sorry, no more wriggling out of this one!

Also, they had complete naval and aerial dominance. And Hypersonic anti-ship missiles didn't exist.

One day a proud scion of the Great Maw, or a devotee of the Devouring path will sit in the White House, but not today.

Im just curious if any "vassal" state is actually going to do anything besides capitulate. Its all so tiresome.

Frankly, it'd be more difficult for Europe to comply with any of this garbage than to just ignore it.

Trump's just going to throw an impotent tantrum, if he even remembers that he said it at all.

Judging from the clips I've seen, it seems that half the time Columbo catches someone, he uses impeccable logic and deduces who the killer was and explains it them before he takes them in, and the other half of the time he just invents some cockamamie bullshit to get the perp to incriminate themselves.

Certainly the "average" Israeli, of course.

Even the slug dudes you meet in the later games are the ones too inept to get a better posting on a planet that doesn't have a poisonous atmosphere.

According to Laidlaw, the Overseers aren't even the top ranks, they're just enslaved to be middle managers.

Though whether the "top ranks" even exist, or the whole thing is some sort of self-perpetuating rogue process is left ambiguous.

AFAIR, China's current policy is to build capitalism until it's capable of creating communism. That's not something Kruschev did, or was even interested in.

Insane. Dem voters despise Israel now, this is such an easy W.

I think all of this is coming to a head. There's so much hate for the Dem insiders, so much radicalisation of even fairly milquetoast dems and so much energy on the left that if it can't take over the Dems in 2026, you will see a new party formed.

I've also heard CIA, although I personally think Mossad.
