  • The Soviet Union isn’t actively moving a part of it’s nuclear arsenal to the island.

    The entire aspect of the crisis was weapons that could actually reach mainland US.

    At the moment, no one who borders the Gulf of Mexico has weaponry that could reach say Miami or say Texas City a more strategic point.

    So there’s a sense of security by distance in the United States. Now the thing is, this whole thing changes the second any one of these nations procure a medium range weapon. That was the missile crisis. The US found out the USSR was trying to send long range missiles that could strike deep inside US territory.

    The same would be true here. The second any of these nations obtain a missile that can hit the US the whole calculus changes.

    Can you imagine? “Oh yeah, we invaded Venezuela but they have the ability to start blowing up condos from their own nation.” People would be a whole lot more upset than they are currently.




  • This is a few counties over from where I’m at, but the biggest thing was Channel 5 News did an interview with the Sheriff and he basically admitted on air that the guy wasn’t guilty.

    Like I can not stress how much the State’s county DA and Sheriff have fumbled this case and basically handed this guy a blank check.

    And the thing is, while a majority of folks were okay at one point for punishing guy over his meme, the county has all but replaced all that with disgust how how terrible the cops have handled this.

    Like they’re still upset about the meme, but nowhere near as upset with how self destructive the Sheriff’s department has been.





  • Some unsolicited comments on this:

    • I would absolutely trade Dr. Bunsen Honeydew with Dr. Mario.
    • The Dr. Pepper position is just pure slander.
    • Dr. Horrible and Doogie Howser, MD is the true duality of humanity.
    • Zoidberg is suspiciously much higher along the Y-axis than I would personally prefer.
    • Dr. Dre, like I would forget, is absolutely a quadrant II candidate. There’s just no way I’d put Spin Doctors high along the Y-axis than Dre.
