    You must not remember 9/11 or the events that followed. Any attack on American soil is open season on tearing up American rights and freedoms. We are still getting buttfucked by the Patriot act and it’s been 24 years since it was signed. You really think Trump is going to ignore all his fellow potheads hothead and turn the other cheek to infallible power?

    Edit: lol autocorrected hothead to pothead🤷‍♂️

      Worth bearing in mind that we never actually retaliated against the power most closely tied to the attackers.
      Most of the people involved were Saudi and they may have had Saudi assistance. Instead we invaded Afghanistan where he was for a period of time, and Iraq who had nothing to do with anything.

      So Russia attacking the US could plausibly result in us suspending habeus corpus, abolishing the FDA and spending a decade embroiled in a land war in Azerbaijan.
