I think the pressure is coming from many sides, but if there weren't so many MAGAs in there they would have already released an "enemies list".

"How's your supply of shells? Winchester is having a blowout sale on 00-buck. To learn more..."
It's not as bad as social media makes out. I've seen more racism in Manhattan and Chicago than down here.
When I moved to the South, black people often gave me the evil eye. Never had that happen before! Really woke to how angry they must feel when hit with random, senseless racism.
Anyway, haven't felt that in almost 20-years.
The boomers were already in place. Think our finest weapon platform wasn't already in range to hit Russia? But saying so out loud is a threat of Biblical proportions.
Meh. I graduated high school in '89. WWIII could have hit any day. Get on my level! :)
Honestly, I never thought we'd be here again and this threat is the strongest I've heard from any nation-state leader.
The "boomers" were already within ICBM strike range. This is common knowledge. Saying it out loud is a threat I've never heard, not even during the Cold War.
He is referring to boomers, no question. See my other comments on this thread.
NO. Trump means "boomer", ballistic missile submarines armed with a dozen+ ICBMs whose warheads splits into Multiple Independently-targetable Reentry Vehicles (MIRVs).
He's made a clear and present threat: "I just ordered the most powerful weapon platforms into your backyard."
They know those boomers are somewhere, easily able to strike Russia. You know it. I know it. But in diplomatic terms, this is the worst threat I've heard from the head of a nation state. And I lived the Cold War.
It's like Israel's nuclear capability. They got nukes. I know it. You know it. But in diplomatic terms, no one says it out loud. In diplomatic-speak, this is a fucking in-your-face threat.
Put it this way, in diplo-speak "condemn" means, "We fittin' to throw down! SOON!" This threat is an order of magnitude above "condemn".
Get out anywhere in downtown Tulsa, have a walk! One of the coolest metro areas I've seen. Sweet Art Deco buildings, Echo Point, Greenwood and the Tulsa Race Massacre site, lots to see and do. Lord only knows what they've added since, but downtown seems to get cooler every year.
I know the massacre site sounds depressing, but it's American history you need to experience. It was worse than merely depressing when I was a teen. No monuments, no bullshit, just a couple of acres of mown grass, concrete basement and sidewalk and street outlines. Nothing else. "Jesus. This was a thriving community?" Most eerie experience of my life puling up there in '89.
Anyway, don't miss Echo Point on the bridge! You can stand in an 18" concrete circle and hear your voice echo back at you. No one outside that circle hears it!
