I made the mistake of balking at some particularly unhinged Ukraine/Russia rhetoric offline yesterday and got called a vatnik, a tankie, a Russia lover and I was even suspected of being pro-Israel and apparently a nazbol Aimee Therese follower or something
I'm not even invested in this shit, I just find the insane saber-rattling and warmongering unsettling 
When someone tells you Putler's going to invade Estonia, Poland and Finland for Lebensraum next if he's not stopped in Ukraine, just nod your head solemnly
Just openly snickering at my uncle saying China plans to invade the Continental US, asking him with what transportation while trying to hold back laughs
the SEE SEE PEE is going to build an EVIL HIGH SPEED TRAIN across the pacific
He was frustrated by the question and suggested shipping containers, and I asked him if he knows about port controls and scanners
the conversation did not go further, lmao
Wait like the entire PLA was going to hid in shipping containers and invade by popping out all at once like a Trojan horse?
lol. Lmao even. This dude sounds hilarious
Long retired former cop, too, so... Just the most wretched brainworms.
My earliest memory of visiting him (he lives in a different state) involved 10yo me shooting one of his full auto uzis into his leech pond, and telling me in his workshop with a bill Clinton picture w/ target superimposed on it that when I'm old enough I should conceal carry without a license because getting the license means you agree to a bunch of worse penalties (for doing illegal shit!).
Not loaches?
Do they like septic systems?
Don't think so. But like, you mean leeches that are breeding in an incidental water source, not a pond specifically designed for breeding leeches, yeah?
No it's a pond intended for a septic system to leech into
the confusion came because I think you were looking for "leach", which is more like draining or leaking through a medium
You are correct
to be fair I took his advice from my preteen 90s years and on the rare occasions that I pack a heater (stay gold pony boy) I do it without a license because I'm a rebel
as explained in the films & video games providing documentary evidence of soviet plans for a cross-pacific invasion such as Red Dawn, World in Conflict, and Homefront, an invasion force can totally be conveyed in an unscheduled, unescorted container fleet arriving on the west coast
you were speaking to a true scholar of the art of war
US CENTCOM: hey there's like two hundred container ships headed to our coast without any port destinations logged, should we check on that? Oh, right, probably just Amazon orders.
Operation Temu Trojan
"Those Temu ads really work?"
I knew the container story sounded familiar! Had to rewatch the intro's to Red Dawn, Freedom Fighters and a few others to check, when you reminded me
Just fyi there's a tracking parameter in your link which Google/Youtube can use to deanonymize you. You should remove ?si=blahblah and everything afterward.
it's a very tight game despite the silly premise lol
I got it for free a while back and played thru the campaign and it absolutely kicked my ass, mostly due to my insistance on trying to rely on infantry more than vehicles lol. The final mission especially wants you to pile on with the tanks.
infantry is absolutely dominant without a master on the enemy artillery, you get some boys ensconced in a built up area or better yet a sizable forest, they'll eat the enemy's lunch for an entire match. key is getting them to the good positions quickly, replenishing them when they take casualties, and utilizing the air-dropped infantry to expand your intel & area control. once it gets going infantry is fairly poor on the offense, but ideally you're getting enough points from dug-in infantry repelling the enemy to call in support for when you actually need to push
technically this is multiplayer advice but the campaign missions play the same except there aren't point discounts/penalties based in role iirc
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Please president xi
I held back on telling him China would be greeted as liberators, in retrospect I shouldn't have
Often the best method. Don’t try to argue just clown on and mock
