  4. CW: CW: Fascism, resistance, direct action

    Protest is saying, “I don't like this.”

    Resistance is saying, “This ends here.”

    Protest is refusing to play along.

    Resistance is making damn sure the game cannot continue.

    Protest raises a voice.

    Resistance puts its shoulder against the machine and says, “No further.”

    Because sometimes saying "this is wrong" is only the beginning.

    Sometimes you have to become the very inconvenient little bastard who makes sure it stops.

    And yes, my friends, that is rather more work than holding a sign.

    It is also rather more effective.

    "...Trump habe darauf geantwortet: »Wenn sich der Oman in den Weg stellt, werden wir sie in Grund und Boden bomben.« ..."

    Das US-Militär sollte sich vom Trumpeltier lossagen und dessen Befehle ignorieren. Und das nächste Mal, wenn das Trumpeltier im Marine One sitzt, direkt in die Klapse abbiegen.

  13. "...In Polen wird es zugleich als Ausdruck religiöser Gigantomanie kritisiert. ..."

    Und nicht nur in Polen! 23 Mio €, was hätte man ja für Bedürftige erreichen können, stattdessen eine religiöse extremer Wucherung wie Krebs, die wohl mit der MAGA-Bewegung in den USA gleichzusetzen ist, deren Produkt ja ein gewisses Trumpeltier ist, welches bekanntermaßen GAGA ist!

  18. "...Dennoch konnten Handelsschiffe vor Beginn des Krieges ungehindert und frei von Gebühren und Abgaben die Meerenge passieren. ..."

    Falls das nicht mehr gelten sollte, könnten GB, Frankreich, Belgien und die Niederlande ja cu Gebühren für den Ärmelkanal erheben und Norwegen, Schweden und Dänemark für den Storebelt, Skagerak und Kattegat.

    Dann würde sich wenigstens das Problem mit der ruzzischen Schattenflotte in der Ostsee erledigen.

  19. "...Der US-Präsident ringt seit Wochen um eine Lösung für das Problem, das vor Beginn seines in den USA unpopulären Krieges nicht bestand. ..."

    Das Problem würde nicht bestehen, wäre das Trumpeltier nicht geboren worden! Und die Welt wäre auch ein klein bisschen besser!

    Auuuhah! Da sind die gewöhnlich gekrenzten Cheeseburger im Weißen Haus mit dem Trumpeltier ja direkt ein Gala-Dinner!

    Ist ja jetzt die Preisfrage: Gabs das schon vorher oder erst unter dem Trumpeltier?

  38. As a Soldier--as others have also noted--I was under a particularly uncompromising legal and ethical mandate NOT to publicly contest policy decisions of any administration of EITHER party once they'd been made (BEFORE that, in principle, I retained some flexibility to publicly offer my "best military advice" so long as I made it clear that I was speaking as a private citizen with some expertise, and not IN any official military or Intelligence Community capacity.

    This is a crucial part of military subordination to civil authority in a democracy: we exist "to faithfully execute, to the best of our ability, the policies of whoever 'We, the People' elect over us." But that same articulation reveals an even more fundamental truth: Constitutionally, whoever occupies the White House is simply a "term employee" OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, who remain the Sovereign.

    So who advises the Sovereign, when that employee's "performance reviews" roll around?

    When I helped lead the professional ethics program at the U.S. Naval War College, I posited that that HAD TO BE our retirees: career MEMBERS OF THE PROFESSION, possessing its unique expertise and still bound by duty and professionalism--but no longer bound, as serving AGENTS OF the government in place at that moment in time, not to contradict its decisions, once made.

    As my colleagues below aptly articulate, this reasoning doesn't just apply to the military. #DefendDemocracy
