I'm sure netanyahu would.be fine with nuclear war, his cozy bunker beats the hell out of his jail cell.
More like a wax one, that someone left on a radiator.
Yeah, it is.
But I don't know what to tell you, the term predates the nazis by quote a bit.
They adopted it, but it was known from the age of dragoons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_troops
The sacred band of thebes were considered shock troops, and I'd suggest that's closer to what the Russian idiots meant.
But I also wouldn't be surprised if they were just copying the nazis without knowing.
I think we should cut all arms supply with Ukraine.
We made a deal with the Budapest memorandum, we have clearly failed to uphold it, we should admit that publicly.
And then we should give them back their nukes, or nukes of equivalent value to use as they see fit.
They probably moved it to somewhere under /usr or /var/lib.
A storm trooper is a member of storm troops, also called shock troops, which are trained for sudden assaults. They carried out attacks in World War I and in World War II, and they were a politica militia of the Nazi party (see Sturmabteilung or Brownshirts). The English storm troops is a direct translation of the German Sturmtruppen.

They were called storm troopers because they were the ones who stormed trenches during an assault.
It wasn't considered a bad thing then, they were considered the elite.
They're working on HK.
Xi thought he had HK under control and could move directly on to Taiwan. His navy explained to him they were decades away from actually trying to invade.
It's their worst case scenario: An educated, wealthy population with good relations to everywhere that didn't exterminate 50m of their own citizens through their stupidity.
It's a commonly used term now, just like Assault Rifle from Sturmgewehr.
It's become verbed, like googling.
If they can assert their ownership of the SCS now, they can hold that even as other nations get stronger.
But if they can't nail it down now, they've lost it forever and will always be a regional power, constrained by maritime neighbors.
Xi is apparently a gambler, and not a good one.
