No, they'd overpower them in an instant.

Hot take: quote pyramids were a quaint reminder of the early days of the current NationStates forums. I can understand why they got rid of them, but I do want to see massive quote temples like back in the early days.

Now turkey is a complex bunch, they are powerful in terms of military, albeit they have a large portion of their equipment outdated. You need to strike their government, it is by far their most shaky asset.

Ugh, depends on which country you are. But if you are France (which i can only relate to), send all the nuk and pray the gods you have killed enough. I have nothing against indians, but in a fight, what else can you do, you lose either way.

I find that it the average American conservative are much more prone to live in a echo-chamber and a ideological bubble than the average American liberal. There is outliers, of course. The average American conservatives a more prone to isolate themselves to a media echo chamber, especially since 2016

It's been way longer than that. The far right's deliberate construction of a media ecosystem completely disconnected from reality was a cause of 2016, not a result.

I use apps and websites like Ground and Allsides. Most people haven’t heard of them, but I think they offer a valuable service. Are there some on the left that isolate themselves in a ideological bubble, yes. But this is mainly to exclusively zoomers and millennials. I find the self isolation among conservatives to be consistent across the age ranges.
