Good.
It's come back to me now. Suddenly remembering discussions my parents were having when I was a kid about how "we almost got Bin Laden but Bush needed to show up Daddy with the 2nd Gulf War".
Republican legislative leaders aren’t taking up significant any gun control changes, including the governor’s push to keep guns away from people judged to pose a threat to themselves or others.
They'll be damned if anyone is gonna call em out on their bullshit, especially a person of color.
I see Tennesee's wannabe dictators are at it again. The GOP does not want to govern it wants to rule.
Thing is, if this continues to be a problem and if the userbase/admins of instances are organised, we can shift those priorities. They may not have envisioned this being a problem with the work they decided to work on for the next several months. Truly, the solution is to get more developers involved so that more can happen at once.
Didn't the US get a UN Security Council resolution to make it "legal" or am I mixing up my Gulf Wars?
Rhetoric aside though, since Iraq isn't sending 2 Senators to Congress, I would have gone with the route of
"No, we just installed a friendlier government with a constitution we wrote, totally different"
Ridiculous that this is the reaction to Brazil behaving rationally and logically for a country in its position both geographically (they have nothing to gain from supporting either side in the conflict) and ideologically (they have nothing to gain from supporting either side in the conflict).
Also, kinda erroneous to say it's "NATO" like it's some monolithic eldritch being like the Night Vale City Council. We know the name of the man who said it, and it is likely that it's shared by many there but, someone at whatever PR/Communications department they have for NATO has a lot of fires to put out.
The best-trained ones might get onto the Russian military payroll if the Kremlin is smart and wants to retain some of its most battle-hardened troops.
Nigeria? There are still french forces in the country at least last week.

They do actually send Senators, but they don't vote. I think that it would be harder in the present day (maybe less so now with the number of reactionary judges, but American judicial precedent had been trending since the 60s to be more democratic and free for people until the 90s) to pull off another American Samoa.
I say this because there are Trump-appointee judges reviving long-defunct legal precedents to support their ideological crusade to reshape America from some semblance of a liberal democracy into a fascist dictatorship – citing decisions upholding the Japanese Exclusion Act to uphold laws like Florida's that ban Chinese people from buying property.
