Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'm not sure they have enough tugboats to pull their navy around to make good on their threats there.

Seriously though, fuck their threats and fuck them. We should reply with a threat to sink any boats that break cables. They know exactly what they are doing. And for every diplomat who gets Havana sydrome we should give it to 5 of theirs.

I guess all of this can happen after Krasnov dies or get impeached, but it should happen.
