[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And also, why haven't we defended the Uighurs?  I mean, war with China would be a piece of cake, right.

Let's figure out what we can do about the repression the people of Quebec are experiencing.  They've been locked in their homes for two years now.  It's repression and it's untenable.  Invade Canada?  Why not.  They don't have nukes.  Liberate the Quebecois!  Post haste!

The point is we don't go around invading countries in Europe willy nilly.  We will totally take over some, to quote a US President, "shithole country" because they don't have the capacity to kill our civilians in the US.  The Soviet Union could kill us just as quickly as we kill them.  It's more complicated to attack a powerful nation.  It means we likely have to deal with a war on our soil.  The US people have no historical memory of what that's like.  Pearl Harbor was two isolated and too long ago to count.[/quote]

What's happening with the Quebecois? I must have missed that.
What happened in Hong Kong was awful. I hate that noble countries respect rules when others don't. [/quote]

About the Quebecois, I mean, I was joking, obviously.  But what's been happening is that since COVID started they've had crazy strict restrictions on movement.  They aren't allowed to visit neighbors in their homes at all (meaning no informal childcare), they've had very strict curfews meaning they can't walk or drive at night at all.  Apparently the Quebec government hasn't communicated well about it at all and people are getting pretty fed up.  I certainly would be if it were me.  I mean, those kinds of restrictions are tolerable short term, but for two years of a pandemic without an explicit appropriate justification, I'd want a change.[/quote]
