Having a house with windows already 4 - 6 feet off the ground, security bushes around the whole house, metal shutters for first floor windows, and as many bars or a brace for the doors.

If there is a peace in Ukraine, the grinder against the Russian military stops. The fear is that Russia will maintain it's wartime production and conscription. Two years of stockpiling drones, ammunition, and actually training recruits. One might not worry about armored vehicle production when Russia makes over 5,000 shahed-type drones a month.

NATO has never intended on fighting Russia without the US, and with the US acting like a fair weather friend, European politicians and likely NATO may be concerned.

Glad to see US dollars spent in Europe on ships that the Coast Guard have needed for probably a decade. Really speaks about US domestic ship production though.

On my 5th year in Japan, bikes and public transportation are great. Kei cars are amazing, but going over 60 mph is not really a thing. If we could eliminate lawns and get the same population density from Japanesw villages / cities into the US it would make more sense.

The excuse I always heard was the affordable care act made it to expensive for companies to keep most workers 40 hours a week. All my friends in the service industry went from one full time job, to 3 part time jobs. Worse hours and pay.

Wow, that just reminded me Married with Children had a dog that would provide commentary via voice over. I havent thought of that since Al Gore ran for president.

Sun Tzu would be proud, china still attempting to decieve their way into more territory. They would never fight a war for land, they'll just decieve you about their intentions and economcially bankrupt you until you have to join them.

People get excited when new documents are re-discovered about Japanese Americans in interment camps during WW2, or the Pope apologizing for the church killing indegeonous people in Canada. You can suffer through knowing there was at least one good person in the PLA ~30 years ago.

If you can't acknowledge the CCP's ongoing march to retake Taiwan by any means, I would ask if you even read any news. I don't understand how you think it is a left or right issue, at least in the US, former President Obama was who started the American pivot to the pacific foreign policy in the ancient history of the year 2011.

Please Gabe sell a special edition orange one for half life 3.

Straight to the work bench, remove the back, physically remove the wifi adapter, replace back of TV. Yay, i am ready for xbox.

Thank you for sharing OP. You subverted my expectations.

My favorite comment on the national security strategy was "they did a better job of translating this from Russian than the demands for Ukraine peace talks."
