Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Who would have thought putting a alcoholic, sad tv personality, with no requisite skills in charge of the armed forces would lead to such catastrophic results?

Have fun build new ones... Oh Shit no suppliers anymore.

America has reached a point...where I'm really worried about nuclear weapons. Especially with all the cutbacks and layoffs. .

Don’t worry, the guys in charge of the stock pile were asked to comeback after they were fired. And they probably came back. Maybe.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Certainly they weren't mad or upset by that or anything.

As an European I hope we can capitalize on this, Russia is cut off from western suppliers and the US is cut off from... Probably everyone? Time to manufacture! Better not let the Chinese have the whole pie.

We don't have the machines for dark industry etc. Europe is struggling with far right too. Our politics not ready for the next stage (they fall Back) and we couldnt produce at low cost. So mh nope we are out. We should partnership with China and start changing in a friendly way and not like US did

Our "chance" at the moment lies in first becoming capable of defense. Especially in modern warfare with drones etc.

dark industry

is that a music genre?

We have industries that make all sorts of stuff, what's more we have industries that make the machines for making stuff.

Dark Factories. Well mostly autonom Factories with Lights off cause no Humans.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And why would that be the determining factor in industrial production?

It's mostly a gimmick.

Money is already unfairly distributed. As soon as this becomes widespread in many areas, the distribution of money will become even more unfair.

Ah yes, our corrupt politicians, who are easily influenced by lobbyists, only think of themselves except at election time.
