Didn’t monks used to do this in the dark ages as a form of self flagelation?

Most intelligent race huh? beeeeeeeep

Changeling couple at the bar, not looking for a third but each one deciding what the other should look like that night. Is this anything?

Does announcing the announcement ahead of time really do anything?

Well, I admit that inviting the president of the Russian Federation to the US under false pretenses to assassinate him would increase the chance of every state on Earth being destroyed all at once. It would certainly be an act of war. Even if there were no nuclear exchange in the immediate aftermath it would then be established that every diplomat to US territory was also a hostage at best or being sent directly to their death at worst. It would further kick out the bottom rungs of the escalation ladder for future conflicts.

I agree that the ‘rules based order’ is a farce and i apologize for presuming that you wouldn’t. How would you characterize your own politics?

Perfidy, in the context of international relations, is to lure a delegation from an opposed faction under false pretenses of negotiations in order to kill them. Perfidious actors do not generally receive future delegations. Noone on hexbear particularly likes Putin but we’re not so stupid as to attribute every act or the Russian Federation to his own personal malice, nor to think that his replacement if he were killed would differ significantly in policy. If the US went through with your hairbrained plot the Russian advance would continue apace and the US would be regarded everywhere as an even less trustworthy partner than before. ‘Do not murder the negotiators’ is a pretty important rule in the ‘rules based international order’ you liberals are so proud of.

You appeared on our Frontpage. That’s how federation works. Do you know what perfidy is?

This is the real reason centaurs are almost always drawn with bows and arrows. Not for horse archer vibes, so the artist had something to do with their hands.

Define ‘perfidy’ and use it in a sentence.

Its an ability that punishes an enemy for being near its allies

This is america. Even the catholics are protestant here.

Xi was duely elected and has far less power to unilaterally direct PRC than Trump has clearly demonstrated the president to have over the USA. We both know you’ve never investigated for a moment how the PRC actually works. You credulously accept the assertion that the PRC is a dictatorship because it flatters you and your western chauvinism. Much like how Trump supporters credulously believe everything he says because it flatters them and their white chauvinism.
