Yep, that's usually how they get them. Most of the mob guys done under the rico act could say the same.

tbh most mob murders are in-house jobs so nobody really gives a shit. as Michael Franzese always says, you choose that life knowing what the likely outcome is. 99% of the guys they hit will have killed people themselves so, meh.

there's even an argument to be made the streets were safer when the mob ran things. pretty sure they wouldn't have put up with the gangs of kids that overrun malls and steal everything.

the Secretary of Defense invested a defence ETF? oh the scandal.....!

anyone with half a brain invested in defence the minute Trump got re-elected. His platform was defence spending and rebuilding the military

So if the government accepts taxes that have been reported as proceeds from theft, should they not be prosecuted for recieving stolen goods?

absolutely, I love a good conspiracy theory. buy they have to mildly believable otherwise you're just a homeless guy screaming at traffic

but those who need to hear it won't. yhe same fools that claim Iran is being "carpet bombed"

Can't say I follow your logic though.

But anyway, the US is a unique case in that its citizens are heavily armed to prevent such a thing happening.

In fact, I'm struggling to think of which national military could bring more guns to the table than Joe Murica.
Your average US high school is more threatening that most of Europe.

China has a large military but horribly inexperienced and their weapons aren't reliable. They'd barely make it across the Pacific much less be able to lauch an invasion

oh wow. "cool story bro"? you're actually going with that?
back to insta with you, fuck knuckle

you're an angry little man 🤣🤣🤣

you've abandoned all the facade of pretending to argue a point and now trying to make it personal. pretty much an ad hominem 🤣🤣
what a retarded, iliterate cunt

also, you must be at least a permanent resident to join the US military.
and they've moved on from cavalry charges and cannons.
but hey, facts and reality are obviously strangers to you.

Ad hominem is Latin, literally meaning 'to the person'
Wikipedia is not a person, so your application of it is entirely wrong.
An ad hominem would be me saying your're a stupid cunt who knows nothing.

Bit I did actually point out the fallacy of your Wiki list (and yes, Wiki is not a great source of information for many well documentted reasons).
Much of what it claims to be a war are barely even military incidents.
The attack by some Pakis on the US consulate was simoky an act of vandalism that did even result in a death.

If that's what you're defining war as, then there shoukd be an entire page dedicated the great battles my brother and I fought as kids. We should have statues. Probably even holidays on our honour

Clearly you don't understand what ad hominem means 🤣

sometimes war is justified.
taking out the IRGC is very much a good thing. they have been slaughtering their own people at a rate that would make Stalin and Mao cringe.

Grabbing the leader of Venezuela maybe a less straight forward debate, but you can't argue he was good for his country.
Taking him out and installing one of his minions is not exactly saying you think their regime is bad, which it is.
But if it avoids a power vacuum and they can hold proper elections then maybe.
Also, you can't have hezbollah training camps in the Americas. thats never going to end well.
