Because market conditions are fucking insane right now. If they allow backorder and their production price doubles they would have to either honor the orders and take a huge loss, or refuse to honor the price and take a reputational hit.

A stable alliance with the Trump administration isn't possible, as has been made abundantly clear. There's no reason to give concessions to preserve one.

They need to stop pussy-footing around with Trump.

He says 30, they need to reciprocate with 60 percent, and will back down to 20 when he cancels the 30.

Make it permanently harmful to threaten this bullshit.

I don't see what the big deal is.

I regularly launch artillery strikes on the local food bank to make sure everything is orderly and safe.

Exactly what everyone expected would happen is happening.

The 2 egomaniacs are sick of each other and lashing out.

Japan and China hate each other. Japan still got along better with the US after we nuked them twice than they ever did with China.

But this orange motherfucker is managing to unite them against us.

I'm honestly impressed how bad he is at this shit.

Looks like you don't need new glasses.

I blame Alanis Morttisette for people confusing coincidence, weird juxtaposition, and shitty luck with irony.

Seems like a helluva Mars plan. I'm all for it.

My only addition is that we'd stop shipping the supplies and cut the comms once they're up there.

American tanks :(

You seem to be doing some American math in that first line.

No, we've just really gotten good at finding other wrong options.

Former fireman salesman here:

Don't just go buy a gun on a whim. Gun ownership is a responsibility with potentially deadly consequences if not taken seriously, and there are moral, legal, ethical, and practical considerations involved.

If anyone has questions about firearms, firearm safety, etc, feel free to reach out. I don't support violent demonstrations or lawlessness, but anyone wanting to know about the tools for legal self-defense, hunting, and shooting sports is welcome to ask me questions.

It includes the latest release, but it's the same one included on last year's flu vaccine.

I think the devs may be quietly winding down support over the next few years.

American here:

Don't travel here. Don't buy our products. Don't sell us your products. Isolate us. Feelings about the American economy are the number 1 predictor of elections. We need the American economy to be in ruins to defeat these fascist fucks. The only other option is violence, and another American Civil War would be catastrophic for the world. We're swimming in nukes.

Yeah, we shouldn't have got ourselves (and by extension, eyeryone else) into this position. But we have, and we're asking for your help because our opposition party was too fucking incompetent to keep the least-popular President in American history from being elected back into office, and we need them to sweep future elections just to slow the bleeding in 2 years.

Who's gonna make them pay you?

If the executiv branch doesn't cooperate, that's the end of it.

The Courts power ultimately means nothing is the executive branch doesn't *execute*.

Okay. Say you do that and you win.

What next? California can't make them pay you damages.

They're ignoring the courts. What will suing do when there's nobody enforcing the ruling when you "win"?

Desert Shield/Storm and Panama were overwhelmingly sucessful military operations because they had clear, achievable objectives. George HW Bush was a bastard, but his team could execute a military mission.
