Yeah egg is what gives it texture, but I made a thickening agent with potato flour that sorts of worked. Kind like what some people use for thickening wok-sauces. It worked, but the vegetarian variant still wins out

The UK is doing a variant of this solution as we speak

Damn dawg you encountered a logical argument and your only response was an ad hominem. Are you short circuiting? See even if the user was a russian shill :

(we aren't)we're paid by Xi and Langley here. Their guys get paid to watch our guys who get paid to watch their guys who get paid to radicalise the one real user on this website
:

That doesn't actually discount the argument they're putting forth. You might want to try to actually engage with the argument, makes you seem less deranged.

edit: I personally do get paid in feet picks from Putin, but that's a personal deal he and I have, nothing to do with the site as a whole. Please don't tell Mr. Burns, chief of the CIA aka. my boss

Yes because thats how wars work, very realistic.
Since you're so intent on keeping the meat grinder going, why don't you go volunteer? The average age is 43, they need bodies. Go fight for Ukraine, if you think Ukraine should keep fighting

Imagine that there is a massive military alliance led by China whose sole purpose is to "curtail" the US. Despite several attempts at diplomacy from the US this military alliance has never been anything but belligerent. In the 90's it bombed... The UK? (What's a good US equivalent to Yugoslavia?)

Since then the US has reformed itself to be more like China in part due to assurances that the military alliance would not expand further.

After this the military alliance has expanded to include most of South America and Central America. Mexico is left as the only buffer.
Some time ago there was a coup in Mexico. Wikileaks managed to capture phone conversations between Chinese apparatchiks discussing who should be put in power, and the people they discussed DID come into power, how about that?*

Now the president of America is stating publicly that if Mexico looks to join ~~NATO~~ the anti-US military alliance that has orchestrated coups in both the US and Mexico, then the US will invade Mexico as a precaution. The president states that this is a red line. The anti-US alliance refuses discussions and instead keeps stating publicly that Mexico will be made a member of the anti-US alliance, it has to be in order to prepare for "future conflict". Around this time the anti-US alliance establishes military bases on Cuba. Mexico keeps saying it will look to join NATO. No one is willing to have talks with the US (funnily enough the leader of China actually said in the 90's that expanding the anti-US alliance would be a mistake and would lead to war with the US).

While all this is happening mexican fascist militias are bombing regions of Mexico with majorities of ethnic USians. This is in breach of two treaties, which is wholly disregarded by both Mexico and the anti-US alliance.
It looks like the red line is about to be crossed. A red line that the anti-us alliance had pledged not to cross.

Now if all that had happened, can you understand why the US might invade Mexico?

Okay then, let's leave this imaginary scenario and... wow would you look at that! It all has parallels to modern day Russia-Ukraine. It seems like this heavy-handed analogy that you're going to dismiss due to being "too long" or "unrealistic" (because let's be honest, you're the type to struggle with hypothetical) actually had a point! Wow pulling your head out of your ass sure can be fun, huh?

*The coup was led by a fascist militia whose main motivation was to get ethnic USians out of Mexico. After the coup a public referendum was held

I'm sure you're referring to what happened with Crimea after Euromaidan, but real quick... What was Euromaidan and how come the US state department could decide who should run Ukraine? And why exactly is it so hard to believe that regions of Ukraine with a majority of ethnic Russians would vote to become part of Russia, rather than a country whose government was installed by Nazis that publicly stated they wanted to get rid of ethnic Russians in Ukraine?
Should we go further back? Back to when NATO pledged to Yeltsin not to expand further towards Russia? Or in 00's when Russia was rejected from NATO membership (having applied after NATO expanded further towards Russia despite previous pledges).
