walmart

:yes-honey-left:

well what is walmart socialism supposed to mean? utopianism is walmart?

solar panels or wind turbines aren’t environmentally free either, those costs are just more readily externalised than spicy rocks

the US has plenty of domestic mine waste dont you worry

here i thought we’d relentlessly bullied the skeptics off here but at least one survivor is hanging on

fucking conversations around nuclear waste are so asinine, it’s a-ok to fucking bury everything else and forget about it, but the shit that literally has an expiration date on the danger is somehow a Grave Issue.

Yeah fucking talk to me about how much an issue a couple thousand tons of spicy dirt is while this country is burying hundreds of millions of tons of trash in the ground

US workers can stop US arms, its one of the few things they still make here

you dont need to! youre fully correct

average size of a bedroom is like 70-130 sq ft. lets abolish 1000s of sq ft yards before we come for someone’s sleeping arrangements

a naval blockade is attackin. the phoney war period is also when most of the german surface fleet got sunk.

also just before the Battle of France the French & British deployed in Norway, boots-on-the-ground fighting, thousands of allied casualties

Wally strategic planning presumed a semi-defensive war fought in Belgium or beyond, Belgium trying to do neutrality and re-enact WW1 fucked this up. the Saar offensive (and all other possible offensives on the french border) a) butted into the German defenses–hard fighting b) dislodged troops from a position of strength on the Maginot.

off of the franco-german border, the Wallys were perfectly prepared to engage the Axis, the naval war was hot, and a naval blockade was initiated. the blockade especially indicates Wally intentions, you’d hardly expect a germany cut off from the rest of the world to invade the USSR and win

Nazi interests were contrary to Wally interests. Imperialism is a zero-sum game and neither Britain nor France could allow Nazi supremacy on the continent. The ‘optimism’ that the Nazis could be thrown at the Soviets was essentially short-sighted and a gross miscalculation of Nazi ambition.

The whole Wallies being friendlier to Nazis than USSR is fodder for the pre-war appeasement conversation, and for blaming the Wallies for allowing the war to happen, not for claiming AFTER hostilities began that the Wallies were under any illusions of that happening.

Killing Nazis fuck yeah!!!

The Wallies were committed to defeating the third reich, there was no conspiracy to let the soviets fall, and any post-war concerns were secondary to the very real utility of opening a second/third front

one of the greatest hoodwinks in history was getting environmentalists anti-nuclear

you ever see patton’s proposed uniform design?

since you seem to actually know things, is plastic carbon sequestration? this seems like a stupid question cuz obviously nobody is making plastic outta atmospheric carbon but like, is it “good” if petrol already extracted got plastic’d instead of fuel’d???
