A skeletonized historical enemy, tests for new weapons technology, Europe getting off their ass and pulling their weight.

SMRs are attempting to solve the catch with big nuclear projects, namely the need to build infrastructure to make the things that go into a reactor.


Reactor casings for example are generally larger than anything we can cast today, so you end up having to build up a steel mill to cast them with the risk that there is a regression to mean and you build a sprawling facility to make it only to scrap it after one.

Surely that's an act of war




More than what has been done by both sides already? For all intents and purposes they are at a low intensity war.

It is loosely important but has very little direct effect on culture war issues.


But as stated above the last time I've seen an interesting take on it was before 2014.

which are very important topics in the Culture War,




I find this statement unsupported. You can deny the Jews cultural veto in the same way you deny the black Americans, no need to prove anything about chattel slavery never happening in the south.


The focus on the topic generally is why I find white supremacists and nationalists utterly boring.

Democrats would find an acceptable moderate Republican from the Cheney/Kinzinger




Acceptable to who? A Cheney as speaker would utterly unite the base against them, beyond the remaining MAGA types. It would be another TEA party.

Your only difference as described is going to be the Union thing, unless socially liberal requires active approval of alternative relationships like polyamory.

Are you asking us to playbook out an insurrection to argue against you? Understand that I am hesitant to go beyond the following: The infrastructure that allows for domestic surveillance has a physical location just like the people.

And their doctrine of original sin, though they have the strongest possible interpretation, gets me accused of being someone who see no need for adherence to the law at all when I profess it.
