I mean, that’s kind of what happened with the last civil war too.

You’re saying your grandmother doesn’t try to convince everyone she meets the Earth is flat?
More like take note people, this is how you get laws you want.
You’d think so, but I guess they didn’t.
“Amid violence”
No, it did it’s purpose: it made headlines.
Give it another 20 years, then release it with an accompanying series of articles about “wow, check out all the fucked up shit the CIA used to do, aren’t you glad they stopped!”
“They’re not mine, I swear, I stole them from NYT!”
Or contamination. Could just be something environmental.
There’s also that both PRC and ROC claim the area. IIRC, Taiwan actually claims three extra dashes.
You know how every once in a while there’s an article going “man, check out all this illegal fucked up shit the CIA was doing 20 years ago, sure is great they stopped and don’t do anything illegal and fucked up anymore”, and the date they stopped doing the illegal shit is always “20 years ago”, regardless of when the article is published?
Well, that.
Yeah, but if they do anything about it, they’re terrorists, which means you get to kill them. And if they don’t, just kill them anyway, and if their parents or siblings…
For context that the Daily Beast clearly doesn’t care to give: the “an army building” is the army headquarters, on prime realestate, hit in the bombing and intentionally left in disrepair. It’s a memorial already. The lot is being leased, basically as a gift, to Kushner, to build a luxury hotel. The repeated, blatant corruption has drawn criticism of the government and Kushner from the Serbian people.
The “Memorial to the victims statement” is meant to paper over this.
English is three languages in a trench coat.
Spanglish is four languages in a trench coat.
Funny thing, I made the same question in reverse once, and the crowd on here descended on me for “whataboutism”.
Yes they do: quite a number of countries banned Russians from non-essential travel. That’s why there’s so many of them in Georgia and Serbia: draft-dodging isn’t essential travel, apparently.
You can run from prison, though. Debbs did, still got 2 million votes.
Force a definitive decision, instead of precedent that keeps getting overturned?
Tennis woks kinda like that.
You’re doing the thing in the post.
IIRC, the secessions were preceeded by a period where it was sort of an open secret of what’s gonna happen, with stuff like future confederate generals transferring cannon stock to southern bases, and moving themselves and their families south, and the North by and large stood by and let it happen under the rationale that “we shouldn’t anger them, they may still come around”. To the point that, again, IIRC, the commander of Fort Sumter saw trouble brewing across the river and requested reinforcements just before the war, and was turned down.
