6 states siding against a supreme court decision to deny access to federal authorities seems big, if thats happened in my lifetime I’ve not heard of it before

I think anyone who thinks this assasination of Franz Ferdinand is going to cause a great war needs to step outside for at least 3 hours. Screenshot this comment and feel free to @ me in 2-6 months when the current state of affairs has led nowhere.

this comparison’s even more ridiculous than the Ukraine one - are you really trying to say that Texas refusing to the let federal agents access the border is equivalent to the leader of a country getting assassinated by a separatist and subsequently drawing its allies & enemies into an 5 year long international war across half a continent…Greg Abbott’s the new Wilhelm II and Florida is obviously the Ottoman Empire. Makes sense to me!!!

It might be obvious in hindsight, but everyone at the time thought it wasn’t going to happen… until it did.

There was already an actual war going on there pre the Russian invasion. It was a war that was started by a coup of the kiev gov. I think we will similarly need to see a coup happen before there’s war here

Well I have good news for you, no matter who wins the election in 2024, at least 30% of the country will believe its illegitimate. More if we get some electoral college shenanigans.
