Girl you’re preaching to the goddamn choir here. I’m so fucking sick of saying “I fucking told you so, dipshit” to so many people. I’m so, so tired.

Ok so: Measure of a Man is one of my all time favorite Star Trek episodes, but come the fuck on. We are so, so far away from that. Maybe worry more about humans, right now, and the world we live in, instead of some nebulous fucking future that we won’t even goddamn reach if we don’t pay attention to, you know, humans and the world we live in.
Wheeeeeee wcgw
I’m fine. We’re fine. We’re all fine here. How are you?
It is fucking bonkers to me that the intelligence agencies and/or the DoD didn’t immediately say “we’re taking that over” the instant it was discovered that he was communicating directly with Putin.
And more broadly, the tactic is known as sealioning, and is a tactic commonly used by bad-faith actors.
The “referendum” they conducted was not at all an accurate representation of the resident’s opinions.

Type II (alternate): said cheekily, immediately after finding a loophole in the Geneva Convention
As an American, it is utterly insane to me that there’s a good number of Americans that are just like “huh yeah I guess we’re gonna bomb Canada to make them do what we want”.
Then again, there’s a lot of utterly insane things happening these days.
A lot of my countrymen are gonna be finding out about Type II “sorry” if we try any military adventurism. And I’m sure Greenlanders would welcome an expeditionary force of Finns, considering their rich and storied experience (5-6.5:1 KD ratio; ~5:1 overall casualty ratio, without even considering the Continuation War).
Yeah, that’s the fun part of going to war with an adversary that was formerly a part of your empire: they have A LOT of people that can convincingly pass as your nationals - not to mention, there’s a small but meaningful percentage of your own citizens that are going to be sympathetic enough (due to family, social, and cultural connections) to that adversary that they’d be willing to act on their behalf for stuff like this.
