Death Toll From Ukraine's Missile Attack on Sevastopol Rises to 5 - Governor
SIMFEROPOL (Sputnik) - The death toll from the Ukrainian missile attack on Sevastopol, the largest city in the Crimean peninsula, has risen to five people, governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on Sunday.
Earlier in the day, the governor said that three people, including two children, were killed as a result of Kiev's strike.
"Unfortunately, we now have three dead children and two dead adults," Razvozhayev said.
He also said that the number of injured people had increased to 119.
The Ukrainian armed forces attacked Sevastopol earlier in the day, using US-made ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads, four of which were shot down and one deflected and exploded over the city. The Russian Health Ministry said that 124 people were injured, including 27 children.

The Trigger for WWIII Just Arrived – What Are the Implications for Americans?
by J. D. Rucker https://noqreport.com/the-trigger-for-wwiii-just-arrived-what-are-the-implications-for-americans/
If the year of 2024 has proven anything so far, it’s that our worries about the potential outbreak of WWIII are absolutely reasonable. The skeptics making accusations of “conspiracy theory” and “doom and gloom” have been proven wrong yet again. The geopolitical atmosphere is turning sour fast.
I still don’t think a lot of people realize how truly volatile the situation is globally right now. From my point of view, WWIII has already begun, at least in economic terms.
Let’s not forget the fact that Ukraine is essentially a proxy for all of NATO against Russia. And, the situation in the Middle East is about to become much worse. Because of the alliances involved and the fragile nature of global energy exports there is a danger of systemic collapse should a wider war break out between Israel and multiple Arab nations. It appears that such a war is imminent.
But why should Americans care? It’s pretty simple – War spurs shortages, and shortages in the middle of a stagflationary crisis are a very bad thing.
Sanctions against Russia affect around 10% of the global oil market and around 12% of global natural gas consumption. But so far all that oil and natural gas is still flowing around the world, only the trade routes have changed. The Middle East, on the other hand, accounts for over 35% of the global oil market and 18% of the natural gas market. Widespread chaos in this region would mean economic crisis on a scale not seen in a century.
Think we have problems with stagflation now? Just wait until energy prices go to the moon.
Around 30% of all oil exports travel through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage which a nation like Iran can easily block for months at a time. Sinking a few larger vessels in the straight would obstruct all cargo ship traffic and oil tanker traffic. Trying to clean up the mess would be difficult because artillery, which is almost impossible to intercept, can rain down from Iran on any vessels trying to drag sunken ships out of the way.
Iran has mutual defense pacts with multiple governments in the region including Lebanon and Syria, along with military ties to Russia. The Turkish government is unlikely to allow western troops to use their airspace to launch attacks. The US military presence in Afghanistan is gone and the Iraqi government will never allow foreign troops to use their land to come to the aid of Israel.
This greatly limits the west’s launch points for an offensive large enough to blitz Iran. The vast majority of attacks would be from the air, and if the Russians start supplying Iran with batter radar and missile technology then there’s no guarantees Israel or the US would gain full control of the air space. In other words, if a wider war breaks out it will not end for YEARS and it’s going to be fought on the ground.
Of course, most establishment experts have claimed that the situation will never escalate to that point and that the threat of direct confrontation between Israel and Iran is minimal. I have been predicting the opposite for a number of reasons, just as I predicted that there was a high chance of war in Ukraine months before it happened.
In October of 2023 in my article ‘It’s A Trap! The Wave Of Repercussions As The Middle East Fights “The Last War”’ I warned that a multi-front war was about to develop between Israel and various Muslim nations including Lebanon and Iran. I noted:
“Israel is going to pound Gaza into gravel, there’s no doubt about that. A ground invasion will meet far more resistance than the Israelis seem to expect, but Israel controls the air and Gaza is a fixed target with limited territory. The problem for them is not the Palestinians, but the multiple war fronts that will open up if they do what I think they are about to do (attempted sanitization). Lebanon, Iran and Syria will immediately engage and Israel will not be able to fight them all…”
My purpose in that article was to outline the dangers of US involvement in a larger war that would require conscription and escalation with Russia. Despite the “experts” insisting that the odds are overblown, it now appears that the next stage of escalation is about to begin.
Iran, Lebanon and Israel have been exchanging limited fire for months now. This is nothing new. What is new is the change in tone after a Hezbollah rocket strike on a children’s soccer game in the remote Druze village of Majdal Shams that killed 12.
On the other side, Israel’s brazen assassination of the Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil this week is a clear catalyst for war. Haniyeh has been engaged in a diplomatic mission to start peace negotiations in Gaza. His assassination sends a clear message that Israel has no intention of entering into talks with Hamas.
IDF officials also announced that they had killed top Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr in a precision missile strike Tuesday in Beirut. There’s no escaping it now.
Iran’s supreme religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered retaliation against Israel and issued an order for Iran to strike the Israelis directly. Iran will likely use extended missile barrages, but also stage troops in Syria and Lebanon. The Houthis in Yemen will then increase their attacks on ships traversing the Red Sea. It’s hard to say how much Russia will involve itself at first, but I have no doubt more advanced Russian missiles and other weapons will make an appearance on the battlefield.
The prospect of world war is immense. Israel will not be able to fight in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran all at the same time. Energy exports in the region will definitely face a slowdown, if not a complete breakdown. At that point the war won’t just be about Israel, it will be about a global energy crisis. I don’t see any scenario in which the US government doesn’t get involved.
The high risk of terrorism this entails should not be overlooked. We’ve had an undefended border and record illegal crossings for a few years now under Biden. There’s not telling how many foreign agents are in the country and I believe this was by design. I think the establishment maintained open border policies because they wanted such people here. The more terror these agents cause the more the public will be tempted to increase government powers to deal with the attacks.
Beyond that, the political left in the West has tied itself to the Palestinian wagon as if it’s their business. In reality, leftists view the war in Gaza as just another vehicle for their outrage. They use minorities, they use gays and now they’re using Muslims. It’s the classic Marxist strategy of hijacking the social causes of other groups and co-opting their momentum.
Gaza is just another excuse for progressive spastics to riot and start burning more of the West down (their true goal). Anyone that opposes them will automatically be accused of being a “Zionist sympathizer” even if Israel is not their concern. So, there will surely be Muslim terror attacks, but also civil conflicts triggered by leftists exploiting the situation to their advantage.
The timing of these events in tandem with the election is definitely not coincidental. Whoever ends up in office will essentially be “stuck” with the war, inheriting a disaster from day one. Once US forces are committed to an allied effort, there’s no chance any president (including Trump) will pull those forces out. If things get bad enough, there might not even be an election in November.
For those that think we can “win” on multiple fronts, the truth might shock you. Eric Edelman, who serves as Vice Chair of the US National Defense Strategy Commission, has given warning about the impending conflict, stating:
“There is potential for near-term war and a potential that we might lose such a conflict…We need our allies to produce more. Our defense industrial base is in very bad shape. The European defense industrial base is in even worse shape. We need our industrial base, their base, and the industrial base of our Pacific allies. Australia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan–they all need to be stepping up because to match what Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are doing is beyond our ability to do it ourselves.”
I have written about the logistical shortcomings of the west in a WWIII scenario for some time now. At the top of the list will be manpower, just as we have seen in Ukraine. This is why we have been hearing military and political officials hint about a new draft over the past two years. They know what’s coming.
A draft to fight for globalist causes is unacceptable. I’m not going to delve into debate over whether it’s right or wrong for western countries to throw their weight behind Israel. Frankly, I don’t care about that argument. I don’t have anything invested in either side of the conflict. I care about Americans. And, I know that making the US military the go-to solution to the Middle East problem is going to end with a lot of dead Americans. I also know that the expanding crisis would make certain special interest (globalists) very happy. As I noted last year:
“The establishment seems particularly obsessed with convincing US conservatives and patriots to participate in the chaos; there are a number of Neo-cons and even a few supposed liberty media personalities calling for Americans to answer the call of blood in Israel. Some have described the coming conflagration as “the war to end all wars.”
I believe that the real war is yet to truly start, and that is the war to erase the globalists from existence. They want us to fight overseas in endless quagmires in the hopes we will die out. And when we do, there will be no one left to oppose them…”
The trap has just been set. We’ll have to wait and observe the scale of the response from Lebanon and Iran, but I believe the worst case scenario is at hand. There are multiple powder keg events in progress around the world right now, but the Middle East situation looks to be the most disastrous by far in terms of how it will affect the US.

Let the ME burn. US is a net energy exporter. We can limit or even ban oil exports. That would cut US prices about 50% of world prices, while world prices would soar 300% or more, especially in Asia.
Hawaii, California and Oregon would be fucked because they import oil because of 'evil crackers BAD'. Well, Hawaii doesn't have too much of a choice because of its position and the stupid Jones Act.

Matteo Salvini is a stupid cunt. He thinks the Red Army which can't keep Ukies from making lampshades from citizens of Kursk People's Republic for 3rd week in a row is capable of launchig a "global war"? 🤡 With fucking what? T-34s lifted from deep storage in Siberia?
Ukrainian army is striking and trampling Soviet soil with German and British tanks, American APCs and MLRS, bombs it with French glide bombs as we speak and all Pukin said about it was "it's a provocation" and declared an "anti-terrorist operation in Kursk oblast" under FSB command. That's it.
This whole "WWIII" bluff was designed to scare feeble cucks into submission and it kinda sorta worked until the bluff was called. And lo and behold: the emperor is butt-naked.

WWIII Watch: Ukraine Confirms U.S. Bombs Being Used to Strike Inside Russia Amid Kursk Incursion
Ukraine has admitted that it is actively using American-made bombs to strike within Russia’s Kursk region as it embarks on a counter-invasion.
U.S. GBU-39 glide bombs are being used to hit targets within the Russian mainland, Ukraine Air Force Commander Lt. Gen. Mykola Oleschuk revealed this week, state media outlet Ukrinform reports.
A video published on Thursday by the general purportedly showed his forces using the high-precision American weapons to strike a drone control hub, an electronic warfare unit, military equipment, weaponry, and around 40 “personnel” within Russia, meaning members of the Russian military may have been killed with U.S. bombs in Kursk.

As the UK PM Keir Starmer continues to advocate that NATO supply Ukraine with long range missiles, and subsequently use them to hit targets inside Russia ...
Putin orders changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine
“We reserve a right to use nuclear weapons in case of aggression against Russia and Belarus,” the Russian president said, adding that the principle had already been coordinated with Minsk. Nuclear weapons can be used if an enemy poses a “critical threat to either state’s sovereignty through the use of conventional weapons,” he explained.
https://www.rt.com/russia/604681-russia-putin-nuclear-response/
PS: Starmer, Macron, et all think that Putin is 'bluffing.' Many of this very same ilk thought that Putin's repeated threats to invade Ukraine was a threat as well.

Yawn. Pukin keeps waggin his jaw about "nukes, nukes, NUKES!" while completely ignoring invasion and de-facto annexation of Kursk. (Isn't it undisputed Soviet territory?) As before that he ignored deep strikes with Western weapons into Crimea. (Isn't it some kind of sacred land "properly" annexed 10 years ago?) Meanwhile his attempt to test the Satan-2 ICBM has failed spectacularly (again, for the 4th time out of total 5), completely destroying the sole test pad they had. Satan-2 was their only hope to replace aging fleet of siloed ICBMs and now it's dashed. The old fleet of Satans they are trying to replace has not been serviced in more than a decade because these missiles were developed by .... wait for it... Ukrainian state-owned aerospace manufacturer Pivdenmash. After the start of the war in 2014 they naturally stopped servicing Pukin's ICBMS (how Nazi of them!). The current Satan-2 (a.k.a Sarmat) was an attempt to copy the design and localize the manufacturing. It failed. Compare it to the regular tests of US ICBMs: the shit just works. The most recent test of Minuteman III was two weeks ago. So we're talking about threat of rape from a guy who doesn't really know if he can get it up. Or a Mexican standoff initiated by who's not sure his cap&ball revolver would fire while his opponent has a Glock in his hand. It would only work if the Glock-wielding opponent is a fucking pussy (which he obviously is).
Now, he invaded Ukraine because Potato basically invited him to do it in his "small incursion" speech. He though he could present the world with fait accompli after taking Kyiv in 3 days and everybody would just go on with business as usual (as they were prepared to do according to multiple accounts).
Besides, the comparison of nuclear use with invasion of Ukraine is inceridbly stupid. More so than comparing apples and skunks. Invasion of Ukraine was a threat to Ukraine only and they counted on our weak so-called leaders to blink (which they did), move slowly (which they did and still do) and accept the regime change and or annexation (as Obama did in 2014 for Crimea and that piece of Dumb Ass). So there were no real risk. The threat of nuclear use against the US, UK or France is entirely different animal, because it will get an automatic response which means glass parking lot where Moscow used to be. And, as mentioned before, our shit works for sure, because it gets successfully tested all the time.
Another difference with invasion of smaller, weaker and pereceived to be guaranteed to fall in 72 hours country, to threaten a big dog like the US with mutually assured destruction one needs to be in a certain state of mind, not required for the invasion. As in "be ready to die if needs be". Are we really to believe that a guy who isolated himself at the first signs of Covid, made all visitors go through a 2 week quarantine and was meeting foreign heads of state sitting across a 20ft table is in that state of mind? How about the recent urgent decree from his admin that all scientists must share with it their findings on life-prolonging treatments? These things are hardly compatible with a brave dude storming the enemy trenches death be damned. 🤡 He doesn't mind his subjects dying in hundreds of thousands, of course, but that's a different story, but to fucking die and over what? Some ruined hamlets in Dumb Ass? Rrrright.
But sadly that posturing works on feeble minds like Potato's, hence all the dithering, stupid ROEs and such.

As the UK PM Keir Starmer continues to advocate that NATO supply Ukraine with long range missiles, and subsequently use them to hit targets inside Russia ...
Putin orders changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine
“We reserve a right to use nuclear weapons in case of aggression against Russia and Belarus,” the Russian president said, adding that the principle had already been coordinated with Minsk. Nuclear weapons can be used if an enemy poses a “critical threat to either state’s sovereignty through the use of conventional weapons,” he explained.

If they launch warheads from sea, how many minutes before American cities are in flames? Would we even know what/who hit us? And who would have the balls to respond?
The next world war, is likely to see American casualties on the American mainland. I’d put the likelihood of an American city getting nuked higher than the likelihood of Cities in any other country (with the exception of Iran, Israel could tactical nuke them at any moment in self defense) it’s called karma bitches. blowback nuclear war 80 years after bringing 2 nuclear bombs to war would ring as poetic justice to the impartial observer.

On November 1, 2023 the USSR unsuccessfully tested the RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, and on October 25, the RSM-56 Bulava ballistic missile.
The Yars missile was launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome (Arkhangelsk region) at a target at the Kura test site (Kamchatka) by a combat crew of the 33rd Missile Army of the Strategic Missile Forces of the USSR . The Yars missile went off course, as during the previous command and staff exercises of the strategic nuclear forces of the USSR on October 25, 2023
In addition, on October 25, 2023 a test launch of a Bulava ballistic missile from the Borei missile submarine ended unsuccessfully.

Rockefellers rewrote the 'history' of WWII to accommodate the 'victors'. Some observers said that WWII just fizzled out, there was no standardized victory. The Third Reich never 'surrendered', just the generals and military ceased hostilities while the Third Reich fled to South America and Antarctica (and, of course, Paperclip), trace skipping its banking and account holder harvests. Eisenhower purposely starved to death over a million prisoners of war, and needed alleged counter atrocities to hide that fact. Nuremberg was optics, and there are even allegations that many of the principles on view who were executed and punished were avatars. Some were for show, some weren't. As usual, villains became heroes or were disguised, designated villains were created etc. etc., other 'villains' were exfiltrated to thriving lives and careers.
What the Rockefellers spun was crammed down the throats of publicity and academia and captured MSM under threat and intimidation (how Jesuit of them), which is probably why it was all so confusing and never tracked with many uncovered known facts or trends.

Combined U.S. military forces are being rushed to the Middle East to deter an Iranian response in the wake of Israel’s enhanced air campaign against Hezbollah and the start of a ground operation in southern Lebanon to remove terrorist outposts that threaten Israeli communities, U.S. and Israeli officials said Monday.
The infusion of fighting assets, which includes air-defense units, will add to the tens of thousands of American personnel already on high alert there, said Sabrina Singh, a Pentagon spokeswoman.

Biden’s officials risking WWIII – Trump
The Republican presidential candidate has pledged to defuse global tensions if elected in November
The US is dangerously close to sliding into World War III within months due to the policies of the administration of President Joe Biden, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said.
Speaking at a campaign rally on Saturday in California, a Democratic Party stronghold, Trump claimed that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track. The former president said, however, that he has an even more pressing concern.
”We got a problem. I actually worry about the next three months… I worry we’ll end up in a world war because of the people that we have [in the administration],” he said.
Trump promised that if he is elected president in November, he would “act with urgency and speed to save America and to rescue the people of California from [Democratic nominee] Kamala Harris’ atrocious failures.”
He added that during his time in office, he “kept… [the] country safe, we had no wars.”
I’ll keep you out of wars… I will end [the] war in Ukraine, stop the chaos in the Middle East, and I will prevent very definitely World War III,” he said.
The Republican has repeatedly promised to end the Ukraine conflict within 24 hours of being elected, before even being sworn into office, although the details of the plan remain largely unknown. According to his running mate, J.D. Vance, Trump could start talks with Russia, Ukraine, and European stakeholders to establish a demilitarized zone along the current front line, with Kiev agreeing to stay out of NATO.
Harris, who has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine, has criticized Trump’s approach, claiming that he would essentially force Kiev to surrender.

Another War Looming? North Korea Destroys Key Roads and Rail Links Connecting to South Korea — Threaten Open War if More Drones Appear
Under the Biden-Harris regime, tensions on the Korean Peninsula hit a new boiling point as North Korea aggressively dismantles critical roads and threatens open war.
South Korea released videos of the explosions on two major cross-border roads—the Gyeongui Line and Donghae Line—connecting the nation to North Korea.
The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) confirmed Tuesday that North Korean forces deployed explosives on these roadways, “presumably to block connection routes” into South Korea, AP reported.
This provocation comes amid an increasingly volatile atmosphere under the Biden-Harris administration’s lack of strong diplomatic and military oversight in the region.

Usually I'm a pessimist, but if Trump wins this will be the best outcome. Lame duck. Joe is gone. Kamala will prove she's not POTUS material and will probably retire. We'll get two new candidates that likely will be younger in 2028. This era of politics has been shit if we're being honest. Covid was a shit show for Trump and Biden, neither handled it well. Trump had the better economy.
We do need a leader that is an ass hole though right now. Trump can do that. Has done it. If that Billy Bush RV grab em by the pussy never happened, he wouldn't have lost so many women votes. We need a leader that can shake a hand and be dominant. Taller in most cases. Kamala will look weak with other world leaders and frankly stupid if they record audio.

Yesterday, the United States, Japan, South Korea, France and Britain held massive joint military drills near Taiwan. Then, China responded with its own record-setting drills, completely encircling the island nation with China’s Coast Guard, and buzzing it with fighter jets launched from China’s first production aircraft carrier. ...
Beyond describing the military schlong measuring, the article unintentionally confessed an ugly truth. Neocon China hawks often argue China would be easy to beat since it hasn’t “practiced war” since Vietnam. (You could also say China has remained peaceful for the last 50 years, but nobody wants to hear that.) In making that overly simplistic point, the formerly peace-loving Times grotesquely bragged how the United States has honed its warmaking skills over decades of continuous war:
"China is still trying to teach its army, navy, air force and other
military branches to coordinate better. That is a skill militaries like
that of the United States have honed over *decades of continuous
war*, whereas the Chinese People's Liberation Army has not fought
a battle since its brief conflict with Vietnam 45 years ago."
While continuous war might be great for military-industrial complex shareholders, for everybody else, continuous war is noisy, expensive, and every now and then somebody actually gets killed. Continuous war is kind of exactly what we were hoping to avoid.
That’s why we need President Trump!
Trump’s foreign policy is based on competing with other countries economically rather than kinetically. Trump is confident he can outwit, outmarket, and outsell other countries, without anybody having to die or even get mangled in a drone strike.
This kind of competition is out of the left’s reach. Democrats and generals are cowards; they are scared they can’t compete on a fair economic table, so they wield the bully clubs of American military and economic sanctions trying to tilt the scales in our favor.
The very same people whining about Trump’s straightforward proposals for temporary tariffs never saw a sanctions package they didn’t love. This is a terrific example of the structural problem when deep-state bureaucrats pull the levers of power behind the scenes. On the one hand, the deep-staters are over-emboldened by their lack of accountability, which makes them too aggressive when they should be diplomatic. But they are also fundamentally cowards, constantly fearing exposure, so they are also too passive when they should be forceful.
Deep-state bureaucrats experience constant anxiety over professional ‘death,’ which is being thrust into the political spotlight like Fauci and thus rendered useless to the rest of the blob. This results in obsessive secrecy, where it seems like the government classifies almost everything it does.
In other words, we aren’t being told a tenth of what is really going on in the Pacific theater. (Where did the mystery drones flying over US airbases come from?) If China does plan to invade Taiwan anytime soon, the best time might be proximate to the U.S. elections, either just before or just after, especially if a close election is contested resulting in a difficult period when it isn’t clear who’ll be in charge.
Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail, and the election will not even be close.

In September 2022, after announcing the annexation of four Ukrainian regions he did not control, and with his troops suffering heavy losses on the battlefield, Putin rattled his nuclear sabre again. This time, he vowed that Moscow would “certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us” if Russia’s territorial integrity, which presumably included the newly “annexed” regions, was threatened. For extra emphasis, he added: “This is not a bluff.”
This turned out to be a bluff.

What are you talking about?
1. Those four Ukrainian regions are now part of Russia.
2. Ukraine suffered a massive humiliating defeat
3. The Ukraine military front has collapsed and
4. Ukrainian army units are surrendering to the Russians en masse.

Why do you think they won't use it? Or that it's a bluff? I think if it becomes necessary, they will definitely use it! For example, look at those cameras in Russia, life is flowing there without any hint of war.
But if it really becomes necessary, Putin will definitely use it.

I was reading about New Guinea, Solomons, etc. and China is donating stuff and loaning like crazy, they even had a mini Civil War between ROC and CCP backers a few years ago. The 4G Network infrastructure CCP gifted New Guinea was sending packets back to Beijing on everything from airport flights to Council meetings. China's paws are all over, and it's very clear that the real Meddler and Briber in US Politics is getting clean away with it.

Zelensky Stuns Allies by Demanding Either NATO Membership or Nuclear Weapons
(Just try to imagine the global tragedy that awaits us if this little runt dictator gets Nukes)
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, having received a lackluster response when he pitched his ‘victory plan’ to US officials in Washington last month, now says that Ukraine must either join NATO or obtain nuclear weapons.
He made the ultra provocative comments while speaking before the EU’s European Council in Brussels, where he presented the victory plan before European lawmakers. That’s when he referenced a recent private conversation with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying he told Trump that his country needs “some kind of alliance” or be “forced to pursue nuclear weapons.”
“In a conversation with Donald Trump I said – this is our situation: What way out do we have? Either Ukraine will have nuclear weapons, which for us will be a defense, or we’ll need to have some sort of alliance, besides NATO. But today we know of no other alliance,” Zelensky said.

Where is it not legal to smoke at 18? (not weed) Don't recommend it, but I'm too lazy to look it up. IL you can. Drinking will always be 21. I don't see that changing in our lifetimes. I think it should. Also cigs here are like $11/pack.
Stigmatize something and all the younger kids will want to drink underage. IF my kids want to drink at 16 I want it to be with my wife or myself. Not make it a big deal. Turtle wins the race, not the rabbit. I don't need binge drinkers and a bunch of DUI's or dead people. Be responsible. Been doing it 24 years roughly.
One of the few things I think Europe gets right is alcohol. Trump won't change that because of his brother. But like Rowe v Wade, he should give it back to the states to decide and not hold highway funding over their heads. Wasn't alive then, but I feel like DUI's and alcohol deaths were less with more booze flowing in the 60-70's.
Now I feel like people can get their hands on a handle of vodka or other hard stuff at 15 and get torched. Had my almost die moment. Not joking. I'll 99.8% of the time won't touch hard stuff again. Celebration or birthday party a big maybe. Only one shot and then I legit tell people to fuck off including friends. They know my stance on it too. Drink my shot don't give me another for 6 months at least.
I can just sip 1 light beer an hour and be totally fine. Not everyday, but I could and wake up at 4am. Hard liquor I'm asleep till noon. But that's been 20 years. I don't sleep in.
I think if you can be selected to have bullets thrown your way it should be legal to have a drink, beer preferably at 18. 16 with parental consent earlier. I'm 90% sure that's legal in WI if the parents are with them. My parents would buy me beer on vacation in high school. I made my one binge mistake and never will again.

It's insane that Wake, Canton, Baker & Howland, Johnson, and Midway aren't militarized outposts.
If I was President there would be P-3 and B-52 exercises there regularly, SAMs installed, and Coast Guard Subchasers/SAR both boat and air, there 24-7-365, with a company of Marines. USAF detachment and spares for C-130s and C-5s to make critical repairs. We can take out landing craft with ATGWs now.
Did you know the Coast Guard has no instrinsic ASW anymore?
We lack 2nd world functionality in our territorial defense.
And we're $37T in debt.
