"forcing the dialogue is stupid, and just hurts their cause" - Conservatives, 2017, on kneelers.

"forcing the dialogue is victory" - Conservatives, 2018, on NATO.


When it comes to NATO, which Trump and the US have called out for insufficient spending lots of times... I think a little bit of rude (which was probably more like: "realistic"), is in order. It's too late to do anything after Russia or China or whoever, invades.

if blacks have the "weaker position" as Black insists that means white privilege is real. it was a tongue in cheek joke.

i'm not going to touch your china/russia invading paranoia, i'd rather avoid a headache.

pretty obvious where you acquired your deep understanding of geopolitical relations and your fine tuned threat assessment:

Now you're just being silly. Everyone knows, that in RISK, if you have Australia, then soon you will win the game. (playing without the stupid cards ofc)

australian strategy really only works in 4+ player games, even in 3 it's dicey.

Well, when you get better at Risk, you'll learn. :D

/e Keep in mind that I said Risk w/o using the cards.

the cards make the Australian strategy BETTER in a 3 or under person game. because they make the macro gap smaller.

if you're only focused in 10% of the map you're conceding 1-2 continents, both of which offer more muster macro per turn.

i know how to play risk very well sir. are you perhaps thinking of a version of the game where australia and south america offer the same bonus? iirc there was an era where that was the case. it never should have been and no longer is on any live version afaik.

I've been playing Risk longer than you've been alive. Australia only has ONE way in, one border to defend. South America is next with TWO ways in.
If you take Australia, you WILL win. It's just numbers and borders.
