Ukraine is the only nation to ever give up their nuclear weapons (after the dissolution of the USSR). At the time, they were assured by the world that their security would be provided for if there was ever a need.

I moved away from MacOS in the past few years to finally full-time Linux after using it recreationally since the early 2000s. I’ve only really used Windows on work computers (or school back in the day).

Comrade, I too am a member, but the way you shifted topics here is too abrupt to provide meaningful discourse. I like to lean into the “we keep us safe” slogan.

And to the doubters: yes, target practice, firearm safety training, and mutual aid support DOES make a difference in keeping communities strong, resilient, and safe. No one in the SRA is advocating for active resistance with force to anything or anyone.

Fair enough!

Try NoMachine.

I like to put little holes in paper at 100 yards.

In the fall I hunt squirrel and deer.

I will give up my 2nd amendment rights at the same time as my neighbor up the street with the “stop the steal” flags.

I agree that a Civil War 2 would be vastly different, all I’m saying is that it would be anything but short.

Point the first: no. War is awful no matter how short or long it is, just no.

Point the second: folks said the first American civil war was going to be short, too.

In summary, no.
