We’re very grateful for that, but we’re also going to have to bring you in for reeducation and Clockwork Orange you with cooking shows until you can only make pancakes through mundane processes. I’ll talk to my superiors though and see if they can throw in like a $20 gift card for the whole wizard murdering thing.

Shroedinger’s Russian nuclear arsenal. When there’s a story about risking escalation, libs tell me it’s fine because Russia doesn’t have the money to maintain its nukes, so it’d only be a “limited” nuclear exchange. When this story comes out, the libs tell me that Russia has a much larger and better maintained nuclear stockpile, so it’s only necessary for the US to spend more on it to catch up. It’s sort of the same way that Russia simultaneously is on the verge of defeat, yet also has the intention and capability to conquer all of Europe, like Hitler, if we don’t stop him here.
