US Gen. Election Thread VI: You've Got E-Mail

[Lady Scylla]

Unless you illegally invade another country.

Unless you count Iraq, which we invaded under suspicions that they had WMDs.

To be fair, they did have chemical weapons -- mustard gas and sarin to be specific. However, the US told them that their use on American troops would result in Iraq having a neon glow. So they were kept in storage until they degraded to the point of being ineffective.

Bret Baier apologizes for his FBI-Clinton indictment report.

[Valaran]

Ever since the pussy story broke he's been dropping

It narrowed, but not sufficiently. Hence why I said Clinton needs a much greater lead than her current one in order to make GA competitive, and that's the opposite direction to where she has been going (until maybe yesterday).

I won't be charged as I'm not following a lawful order.

the people who launch the nukes should refuse to follow orders too.

They, by design, don't know the orders.

All they know is launch/don't launch.

That's the terrifying part of the American Nuclear Program, one person (POTUS) gets to choose. Everything else is just math.

"General, I've decided that we're going to invade Canada. I've got a great plan for taking their forces out"
"Very good, sir, let me just get the rest of the Joint Chiefs in here and you can tell us your plan. *phone noises* The big idiot's finally lost it. Get in here so we can stall him from nuking Canada and call Pence, tell him he needs to invoke the 25th ASAP"

And that's the story of how Trump was President for half an hour.

Uhh. I think there would be quite a few months of false flag attacks and blaming months before the invasion, ala Iraq. It wouldn't be a direct overnight decision. we'd make up some bullshit first. Even Hitler was smart enough to make a false flag operation to make the case to his people before the invasion of Poland.

You have too much faith in the American military leadership. It's very dangerous.

No, citizen, it is you who have too much faith that Trump is the second coming of Hitler.

Not a fucking moment too soon.

Im convinced the media wants Trump to win because they know they would get better ratings with him as President.

Ignoring that if Trump becomes President, they all start to need becoming Trump News Network or they get sued into oblivion because of libel laws loosened like the whatevers of women he's grabbed.

The British didn't invade Canada, they invaded the lands which the First Nations occupied. Eventually, their colonies butted up against France's colonies, and they started squabbling.

Not only that, but France's colony was less of a colony and more of a scatter of small towns that cooperated with each other.

Honestly, would've been better for the First Nations if the Brits had stayed out of things. French settlers were far more friendly with them.

I wonder how that would've changed things?

Unfortunately that one gets a bit messy.

You would have reflexively surrendered in 1812?

I expect a Trump Tweet insulting something about the judge by the end of the day.

Um, why does everyone think Trump will invade Canada? Is that just a joke or is there some basis to it?

A joke.

Probably.

A Nazi walked into the thread and promptly derailed it with a mindless hypothetical. Ignore the entire discussion, it's irrelevant.

I wasn't paying attention to that, but 99% sure its joke.

God damn it, a thousand years of successful military history, then you lose one World War against the strongest military power of its day and that's all anyone remembers.

What are you talking about Georgia is competitive. A 2 point lead in the polls is considered to be competitive.

If the Brits hadn't colonized North America, would the United States even exist? Or would North America be divvied up between a large former colony of France, Mexico, and a confederacy of First Nations?

Until Justin Trudeau doesn't fellate Trump on Twitter, then it's WAR!

And the media keeps talking about how Trump has the momentum. They cherry pick certain polls. New Hampshire isn't going to go for Trump yet they picked one poll and said now its a tossup.
