I'm sure that several prominent politicians have been putting together teams to run campaigns but the GOP candidates probably mostly wanted to avoid any official announcements or major actions until Mitch made it official. Now the gate is open and the race is on.

"seize what they can of our military equipment"

The United States would absolutely obliterate Europe in that situation and a Russia/USA alliance would be cemented within hours (edit: and by this I mean a full military alliance and coordinated attacks and land divvied up). If Europe tries to seize or attack any USA assets it would be catastrophic.

Europe needs to rearm, start building a stronger European defense industry (while hopefully putting up strong guard rails), and should probably peacefully push American troops out.

Europe can probably defend against Russia on its own right now. If they're a bit short of that capability, they can reach it relatively quickly. They are many years away from being able to attack the USA without it going badly for them.

As an American it saddens me to say that those military bases could quickly become the gravest threats to many once allies. Trump has been threatening to pull out American troops. Europe should get a plan in place to start rearming, and crucially, training large swaths of the population in basic military prowess. And then encourage Trump to withdraw troops.

It disgusts me to say this, but I would not be shocked if Trump dos indeed snatch territory from Europe or Canada.

It's no longer inconceivable that the USA and Russia, and hell maybe even China, end up in some loose "non interference" alliance where they divvy up spheres of influence.

The Switch OLED is already a bit big to travel with for me but I make do and I'd prefer it to be smaller in hand. I had the lite and much preferred its form factor. OLED does have a much, much better screen. Different strokes for different folks. The Deck doesn't meet my use case, nad that's fine.

I genuinely didn't think it was satire when I saw the headline. Trump coming out and saying something like that is literally just par for course.

I missed "Go" and thought they meant Game Freak and I was quite shocked lol

Steam Deck seems pretty amazing. Unfortunately, in my case, it's too big to travel with and I doubt my small hands will find much comfort.

Really hope they come out with a Steam Deck Lite. I know you can buy smaller handheld PCs but last I checked they were quite pricey (tbf I haven't checked recently)

That sucks. It wasn't much money tbh but a few bucks here and there was nice.

Dude there's no need for petty insults. Clowns are highly trained professionals who bring joy to the world. No need to insult them with unfair associations to slimy dinosaur politicians.

They shall be tut-tutted once, tut-tutted twice, tut-tutted three times. And they might get a stern glare as well.

And if they gut medicaid, that'll push pestilence even further and contribute to death as well. The situation in Ukraine contributes to war.

I've never bought into the apocalypse stuff but it's interesting how quickly and easily things line up.

I'm pretty sure once she crosses into "physical" action (not the right word but not sure what to use) she's probably just getting removed herself. In this hypothetical case, maybe that encourages widespread resistance, but I think we'll hear crickets in a few weeks.

If she's going to extreme measures, probably best to do so as a last resort. She might be able to pin Adams under state laws or other mechanisms to try and remove him. If nothing else, better to go into a showdown with Trump with stronger legal backing.
