When you think about it, what better way to cripple USA. This will surely be the template for all future wars. Especially against Murika with their inability to co-operate and follow recommendations and instructions.

Maine wedding outbreak offers a cautionary Covid-19 tale for the holidays

A Maine wedding led to 178 Covid-19 cases and seven deaths, a grim reminder of how celebrations can spread deadly coronavirus infections.

It has been tried before with varying success. Japan was banking on the US not being able to pull together when they made the decision to attack Pearl Harbor, it didn't go that way. North Vietnam included as part of their strategy the concept that the US would get tired of the war, it would become unpopular at home, and that was certainly a factor.

There was likely also a component of this thinking in the terrorism of 9/11. In fact a lot of the problems that are happening right now can to some degree be traced back to that attack.

I more specifically mean an infectious pathogen/infection released into the community.

They are unable to deal with it due to their size and fractured adherence to personal freedoms and individuals rights.

Biden wont be able to get them to unite to beat this.

The latest figures are diabolical.

You think the demonrats will follow hellary's lead and start shit with Russia if Pedo Joe "wins" since everything is Russia's fault?

The only good thing that trump and the republicunts did was lick Putin's arse clean to keep Russia on Murikas side when China make a move.

Russia was just a fear tactic for votes, just like Trump with Mexicans

The utter dishonesty of Trump's attacks on Fox News

Analysis: The utter dishonesty of Trump's attacks on Fox News

In the space of a few hours on Thursday morning, Donald Trump, who is still the President of the United States, sent 16 tweets or retweets attacking Fox News. A sample:

This clip from 1 November.

In the background graphics the death toll 220k...now 240k. Twenty thousand more deaths in less than 2 weeks.

Kasparov nailed it.

"Opinion: Win or lose, with Trump, prepare for the unimaginable after the election"

Opinion: Win or lose, with Trump, prepare for the unimaginable after the election

Trump no doubt believes that he has more to lose by leaving office than by fighting -- lawlessly or not -- to stay, writes Garry Kasparov. The oligarchs and thugs he so admires surely agree. We cannot know exactly what Trump will do in these days around the election, only that whatever it is, he...

Yeah,

But wouldn't it be fun to see Mar-a-lago and various Trump Towers around the world seized and sold off to the highest bidder.

That would drive him insane.

Bill Gates buying Trump Tower in NY and renaming it Obama Towers..................................

Ok, I know but, I can dream.

I didn't think Trump owned most of the buildings with his name on them, and he mostly just licensed out his name, just like Richard Branson dies with Virgin.

That's why it's been easy to remove his name from some buildings.

Unlike Agent Orange it’s good to see Bides willing to listen to others who’ve shown decent management:

Isn't it crazy that we live at a time when someone can gain some cred simply for listening to others with relevant knowledge and experience?

Yep it is, but it is still a source of income.

Biden's team should maybe contact our state premiers and not the numpty who wanted to open everything up from day one and delayed our original lockdown strategy for a hillsong conference.

Maybe don’t include Dan Andrews on that list though? OK OK, the Mexicans got there eventually .

He can tell them why not having a decent contact tracing system in place and hiring dodgy security guards for your hotel quarantine is really not a good idea at all.

I don't believe Russia meddled with votes or the dems rigging votes, but I just find it funny that Russia meddling is more believable than instate rigging.

The same people crying out "Russia did it" are now crying "dems didn't do it" and vice versa.

Either the whole system is bulletproof or it stinks to high heaven with corruption, IMHO, I believe in the latter.

Up to you to believe that but the CIA is less trustworthy than the government and the MSM.

BUT

Even if this were true, how is that more believable and less of a conspiracy than dems rigging the vote?

You don't know what to believe in this age of dis/misinformation.

Time is fairly respected?

I don't recall anyone saying Russia meddled with the votes, it was misinformation campaigns.

They found misinformation campaigns in Macedonia (internet farms) that were paid for by Russia.

Misinformation is vastly different from claiming election rigging.

May be different approaches but their aims are the same

The lies are coming from the same side though.

There is a clear difference between the two. One is a group of people accepting foreign interference to win an election.

The other is claiming that thousands of people working in post offices and polling stations were in a conspiracy to steal an election.

The other major difference is one is littered with evidence (cambridge analytica admitted, facebook and twitter through their feeds admitted a foreign influence which they didn't govern and have now taken steps to govern somewhat) vs no evidence, zilch, none, 0 out of 12 court cases.
