you’re right. On both points I feel a little like I got transported into one of the bad twilight zone episodes. The ones with out a moral that just say “damn wouldn’t that suck”

translation:

I’ve done nothing but sit on my ass and be mad that someone else isn’t taking the steps to make things better.

The usaf if given the order would absolutely bomb cities. They have done it to other less fortunate countries before.

If anything it would be 10 US territories. It would take years before it was ever allowed to become a state even if peacefully annexed which would not be how this would happen.

I think you are underestimating the might of a military that has 1 Trillion dollars a year spent on it and has over 1 million active duty members. Trump is also dumb enough to authorize the use of nuclear weapons.

Lemmy is small mastodon is a little bigger but still absolutely tiny compared to those other social media platforms. The politicians should be where their base is which is twitter and the meta platforms.
