Even if they never use it, any Islamic state that gains nuclear weapons will have them pointed towards the west. It's just completely antithetical to our way of life to give muslims that kind of political leverage.

I've already lost sleep knowing India has a huge arsenal. Judgement day will be on 7/11!

I'm sorry to tell you about Pakistan I guess you will never sleep again
 
not yet at least.
you can only cry wolf for so long before the wolves show up and no one cares anymore, or worse outright embraces it. "you gonna call me a fascist anyway, so might act as well..."
No kidding. Over the years I've managed to get booted out of group after group for merely suggesting "nobody's coming after you, what they want is much more simple and reasonable than hanging you, stop catastrophizing". I don't know why I still bother trying to reach parity with these people besides some obligation to the person in them I used to know and see now as misguided and radicalized. You can have the most gentle take possible in the opposite direction and you might as well be a White Pride Worldwide member in their eyes.

Hell, I got screamed at by a gaming group just for suggesting that violent migrants are the ones I want gone, and I (like pretty much every conservative I know) would be more than happy to take productive migrants into their communities that can build them up. Even that was considered way too racist. It is entirely zero-sum to them; you can't just take the ones that legitimately want to assimilate and build a future for their children in the Land of Opportunity, you also have to take (and are expected to love) the Peace Truckers (that don't actually happen but even if they did you should love them).
 
Apparently some Ukraine protesters decided to spend their Saturday harassing Vance and his 3 year old today.
Yeah right, without his security detail not getting involved? Or are you suggesting, that the VP of the United States of America can walk around the public susceptible for an assault at all times?

Well, if true, at least JD got a good breath of 1st amendment with freedom of speech right there. FAFO.

"Harrassing" meaning "screaming -- likely any number of vulgarities, and probably towards his daughter too -- with a bullhorn but from a safe distance."

So 1st amendment then. Make better politics. I'm pretty sure every politician gets treatment like this every now and then, they do in other countries as well. Some get this stuff more than others, that ought to be an implication of what people think of you.

It's no different with any other celebrities either. But some of them don't have the secret service protecting them when they are approached in public.

All it takes is like 10 people to have an opinion to make one of those mobs; they do not necessarily represent the body politic. Hiring people for that job is pretty easy anyway, as has become obvious over the last few years.
 
InB4 Reddit lefties start screaming about Vance talking about his daughter like she was a dog.

"You don't 'walk' your daughter; you take her on a walk! Reeeeee! This can only mean he dehumanises people and thus wants to murder all transfolx!"

The angle they are taking seems to be, and i shit you not: "at least she isn't being killed in a war like Ukrainian children are!" in between blaming him for the war continuing.
 
And his toddler? Did she also fuck around and find out?
It's shitty to drag kids into stuff like this, but it happens. That is very much expected when you are a public figure, and it's just so much more amplified today when we have internet.

At this point, she probably doesn't even remember what is said. How do you think she'll feel when she learns to read and gets to read about all the mean stuff said about his dad on the internet?

Like I said, politicians in high positions have it easy, they actually have a security detail with them. Part of the gig, unfortunately.
 
Harassing a father in front of his children is "I didn't suffer enough for my retarded bullshit life choices growing up" behavior.

Have a problem with the parent? Speak to them 1:1, don't humiliate the children. I don't see a politician being threatened, I see a child being humiliated.

It's the warning they continue to ignore too. They already made more people than ever since the 90s not care about being called racist or bigot by fatiguing people and repeating it to exhaustion and the point it no longer sounds like a word, they already made people who were more than happy to go "Trannies? You mean those weird fellas who play dressup?" at worst to live and let be turn into vocal opposition to them after forcing them into the spotlight and raising the wrong kinds of awareness in the process.

We went from crime stat memes being a /pol/ thread to being posted by aunt gertrude on facebook and normalized on instagram reels after the summer of love and block burn downs.

And they were even retarded enough to fuck up escapism itself, so a lot of stress and aggression outlets are now clogged up by making every single leisure space shittier, movies, tv shows, videogames, board games, every dork ass nerd hobby to every working man's eye glaze over break activity from nascar to spotsball is now at least a little smeared in their ideological feces.

The more dipshit things they push and the more hateful and aggressive and violent they get towards random people and the common man. The closer the finger on the monkey's paw gets to curling and making their wish come true and they're absolutely too retarded and oblivious to grasp that if people ever did snap and lose their shit it will be entirely their own faults.

You can't make yourselves into what ordinary people perceive to be a rolling, screaming ball of shit that crashes into anything and everything anyone would ever care about for what feels like an entire generation at this point without a few people eventually coming to the conclusion that someone should maybe do something about that screaming ball of shit.

Even if not for any actual ideological reasons or extremism but if only to get some goddamn peace and quiet finally.


In autistic summary: I don't at all think that THE DEATH SQUADS are likely, required or even soon(tm), but these millions of absolute monkeys are working overtime with their millions of typewriters to type out nice long lists of reasons to convince the common man that one day, maybe. They could look the other way if some doors start being knocked.

I want to know why his secret service didn't shoot at them.
 
I bet you also let niggers fuck your girl just so that they don't call you the a sissy you are.

Imagine being the greatest military force in the world, being afraid of Russia and basically allowing Russia to dictate your foreign policy. How about you say to Russia "we will fucking nuke your ass if you do X".

But considering how cucked America seems to be, not really surprised that this is yours and your governments' attitude. Just let everyone else push you around.
Ah, mutt posting as well I see!
