Question: what kind of father would fail to protect his son from an endless bullshit performative Republican inquisition that we all know would have happened?
ICE isn't the Gestapo. The Gestapo didn't hide their faces.
If history is any guide, ICE may be better compared to the SA. Their job is to make it safe for the future Gestapo to operate unmasked... at which point the unprofessional street thugs in ICE will find that they've become a liability to the regime.
Note that Noem has already declared that any video evidence of ICE's criminal activity is itself illegal and inadmissible [1,2].
As I understand it, the right to record police has never actually been tried definitively at the SCOTUS level. The Republicans certainly have the tools on the SCOTUS bench to prohibit it now, so look for a case to be brought at some point.
Russia invading Ukraine also made zero sense, given their actual capabilities and the likely (now realized) consequences. The leader doesn't always have the best information, it turns out.
Either that, or the leader does have access to the best information, and they just DGAF. That condition seems to be going around too.
Navies appear to be obsolete (edit: I'll exempt ballistic missile subs from this statement, though.) You don't even need a navy of your own to sink another country's navy these days.
When $100M in armaments can take out a $10000M carrier, it's time to rethink things.
What are some better parallels? Seriously, no snark, please throw out some suggestions for reading. I can't think of any other country that has done this to itself.
