I don't count those as invasions because the goal wasn't the seizure of any resource. WWII kicked off from the Nazi invasion of Poland, and the Allies fought them all the way back to Berlin, then gave Germany back (mostly, except the partitioning and the permanent military bases).

I don't think there is any such thing as a "good invader".

That is not correct. The events, as alleged, before someone jumps down my throat:

  1. Ryan steals a car
  2. Cops try to arrest Ryan
  3. Ryan flees, cops shoot Ryan
  4. Ryan's dad Rodney hits and kills an unrelated cop with his car

It's mostly a liability thing. Mostly.

Star Trek started with the Bell Riots in September 2024, so I think we're a little behind schedule.

Right. But that's why they're fed the excuses "they broke the law coming into the country!" "they committed a crime!" "they had gang tattoos!" when they overstayed a visa or applied for asylum, were unjustly convicted, or had autism awareness tattoos. But they're fed lies, so in their minds it's justified.

Deporting citizens is already blatantly unlawful. This is just icing on the cake.

I'm no dam engineer, but it looks like the reservoir is fairly close to full already. I assume overtopping the dam would be Very Bad.

I don't know if the dam is valuable to Pakistan in terms of hydroelectric power, but if the water is more valuable, I'd be considering blowing the dam. I'm sure India would take it as an act of war, though.

I'd rather fight back before he actually takes the action.

I guess reality is woke now. But really, we all already knew that, didn't we?

It would protect all the services. Instead of having to secure each one, you only expose the VPN server and connect to that. You don't have to worry about North Korean hackers breaching your services if they're not exposed at all, only the single VPN service. Less attack surface, less worry.
