Yeah there's no better reason to use jury nullification than when government wants to kill a guy for political reasons.

A weather report can be classified. Something that's been published in the NY Times might be classified.

Something the Secretary of State writes themselves might be classified. Even saying "I was talking to Prime Minster whoever last week" could be classified even when there's a photo of the Sec State standing next that Prime Minister on the front page of that country's biggest newspaper.

There is no risk if someone stamps something innocuous as classified, but there's hell to pay if something that's sensitive doesn't get stamped classified. So a lot of shit is labelled classified when it doesn't need to be.

Not all classified information is about a military operation that's set to kick off in a few hours.

Hillary Clinton was very thoroughly investigated and the classified information was a big nothing-burger. Or do you honestly believe the Trump administration gave her a pass because they're benevolent?

running her own shady-ass server away from the prying eyes of FOIA

It's illegal to use government property for campaign purposes. Obviously Clinton was working towards a presidential campaign (she was working towards it her entire life) so the laws necessitated her to have emails related to that not be on a government server (government property).

Sorry, Hilary's emails wasn't anything. You were just told that over and over again until it started to sound like there might be something to it. But it was nothing.

Yes, I mentioned it takes a long time - generations. And if by "let him be" you mean nobody went to war with Franco, then yes, that's why it's Plan A, the option that doesn't involve all out war.

Are you looking for an option where the US can quickly end it's fascist movement? Unless you have a time machine and can go back in time and convince more people to vote for Kamala Harris, then I got nothing for ya. Best case is, the US is Franco's Spain and it's going to suck for decades. Worst case the US is WWII Germany, and it's going to really suck, though for a much shorter period of time.

Yeah, if the pro-Palestinian movement was a non-violent resistance movement I'd be on board 100%. But unfortunately that's not what it is.

Odai Nasser Saadi Al-Rubai is someone we should support, someone who wanted peace. But he's dead now and those who claim to want peace for Palestine seem to want to erase him from existence. He was inconvenient to their narrative so they will pretend he didn't exist.

How can someone claim to be to be pro-Palestinian if they have no empathy for Odai Nasser Saadi Al-Rubai, a Palestinian that wanted there to be an end to this war? It doesn't seem like a pro-Palestinian movement to me, it just looks like an anti-Israel movement.

Have you seen a photo of what tanks in combat look like these days? They have cages welded on top of them. Also the hatches can be closed. A lot of tankers like to have the hatch open so the commander can have have more visibility, but it's not a necessity.

There have been ways to take out a tank with missiles for a long time now. The reason why they're still used is that air defenses exist and nothing beats the cost efficiency of moving a big gun close to the enemy and firing a lot of cheap ammunition at them.

Also are you going to tell civilians they can move back into their towns based solely on drones? If the civilians are behind a bunch of tanks, they're safe because the drones will go after the tanks before going after the civilians. You need soldiers to hold ground. A soldier in a tank is going to be harder for a drone to kill than a soldier that's not in a tank.

Yes drones are effective, but drones can't hold ground and keep civilians safe.

We all hope for peace, but some of us understand that Hamas is incompatible with peace.

The moon program in the 1960s was originally called Artemis and got renamed to Apollo for the same reasoning.

So it'll probably get renamed to Apollo 2.

Make something that'll EMP everyone's replicators before people start replicating nukes.

Yes the Max is the current status quo, but given the Min is almost certainly the destruction of the world, so status quo is probably the best we can hope for.

And maybe I'd make a sandwich if there's room for it along with the EMP.

Have fun living in a 1m^3^ house.

Damn these AIs are getting good at understanding exactly what I want.

Yes because Russia will build more tanks and other equipment in the next decade. Not a problem if Europe builds up too. But that will be a problem if Europe does nothing.

If Russia were an immediate threat, Europe would have no choice but to give Trump whatever he wants so the US will protect Europe. But with Russian forces being decimated by this war, Europe has the opportunity to build it's own arms industry to be able to produce it's own weapons to be able to counter Russia in a decade's time.

Drones don't hold ground, soldiers do. Soldiers that have tanks are going to be more effective than those without them.
