I saw a rumor he may actually pardon Snowden.
I've seen some interviews with Trump put out recently that covers it and he states along the lines of 'Both sides have very strong opinions on it, I stay out of it.' If he does pardon Snowden, it'll be towards the end of his term. Not least because he needs the support from the RINOs and neocons until then.
 
When is Drumpf going to hang these nigger leftoid judges by their entrails and parade their corpses around the city? I'm tired of this return to 2016 nothing happening LAW AND ORDER shit. I need more leftoid suffering I'm almost soft
Easy now--when you're going after the big fish, you've got to be patient and give them a little slack so they let their guard down.
 
The problem with history is you can spend your entire life learning and still have only a fairly accurate abstraction of what individual nation states and the groups within them want and how they got there
there's just too much to learn and infinite resolution you can get down to, you have to say 'enough' somewhere or you become equivalent to a leftoid faction splitting again over the spanish revolution

perhaps if you are uncultured, some of us know everything
 
Imagine being the feds who were on that case. You're one of the good ones, actually doing something of note, then a few years later the guy you caught gets traded for a C-list athlete who took drugs into a nation hostile to it. I can imagine that would leave feelings of resentment :story:

I really didn’t get that at the time. EVERYONE KNOWS not to bring drugs into a foreign country. You’re even supposed to check the legality of any prescription medication and make sure you have documents with you.

I mean, Malaysia and Singapore will actually kill you for that shit
 
No Republican has any excuse after this.
They didn't want excuses. The Republican Party before Trump was controlled opposition. Its called the Uniparty for a reason. Trump was a threat to "Their Democracy" because he didn't subscribe to the Washington DC consensus.

FFS, even on Fox News one of their commentators said "Trump believes in Manifest Destiny" like it was a bad thing. Like bitch, lets manifest some Destiny. Shit is fucked in the West and its getting more fucked every day. Time for America to rise in might to challenge the encroaching tyranny of beaurocratic algorithms in the EU and the Perfidous Chicoms.
 
If it's not Snowden, I can't think of many well-known Americans in captivity.
Ksenia Karelina, maybe? She's that ballerina who Russia has imprisoned for giving like $40 to a charity in New York that works to supply Ukraine. She's being held for treason.

Only others I could think of are the six Americans Hamas (allegedly) still holds. But only getting one would be odd.

Her story sucks. I wonder if she felt pressured by her peers in the US to make that donation, too. $51.80 is a weird number to donate, so I wonder if it was a "I'm not like the other Ruskies" payment.

seriously if I ever go to Asia I'm going with brand new clothes, they will bust your ass for a random crumb of weed in a pocket stitch

I'm not entirely convinced they're still alive
The conspiratorial part of me believes the reason Hamas is stopping prisoner exchanges is because they overrepresented how many stayed alive in captivity and now have run out of prisoners to give to Israel, and can't say 'oops they're deal lol' without getting leveled by the IDF again

Possible although I’d more likely chalk the weird number up to an exchange rate thing. Like an even 1000 rubles works out to $51.80 or something like that(made up number of course. I’ve got no clue what the exchange rate is)
 
Hey RPG forum chuddies! Guess where you ARE welcome? Over here! Come call this Forum Admin nasty names with us! Look, I'll start!

What an absolute pussy!

"Wehhhhh. White supremacy! I'm ignoring the huge turnout Orange Man had with native Americans and the black folks! I'm a retard! Wehhhh!"

That's what I hear. Maybe I need my ears checked.
 
Very technically, most of the post-colonial Brit successor states were artificial. Malaysia itself is an unusual conglomeration of four different states in its inception at 1965 (and one of them, Malaya, was itself an agglomeration of a dozen small Malay princedoms).

Even then, the newly minted Malaysia had problems with a communist insurgency then (the Malaya Emergency), but it was brutally suppressed by the Brits with unusual efficiency.
Nothing artificial about Malaysia beside the fact it isn't part of Indonesia. It erased centuries of fragmentation of the Malay states and were it joined with Indonesia would be an appropriate Malay ethnostate.
Liberalism is entropy. Conservatism only seeks to slow entropy. There needs to be a force that actively FIGHTS entropy.
Woah, stop with that heckin fascism there bigot!

That's only partially true. You can learn enough to realize the abstract patterns within history and be able to quickly slot any group into a framework that works well enough for anything that isn't actual scholarship or very sensitive political decisions regarding said group. But this is the sort of history they don't want you to know. You will not find it in high school, and you're very lucky to find a college professor who can teach it to you. You can learn it in upper division history classes in college, but at that level you're getting some level of leftist indoctrination and you'll have to realize that what your professors are teaching you doesn't actually confirm the American progressive/Redditor worldview but is actually a tool that says far more than that, including many things your professor would be horrified to hear.
