FYI that's a population skew based on age of population. Lot more kids in Afghanistan and Yemen. But SAS also forgets to overlay violence. The numbers show Greenland is a very very dangerous place. smallarmssurvey.org/database/globa…
America does have a problem. Suicides outnumber murders 6 To 1 for whites; Murders outnumber suicides 3.5 To 1 for blacks. And a growing rural despondency. acsh.org/news/2017/03/1…
Its not just guns with 18K violent deaths and 21K gun suicides but opioids are also deadly and often used without any sense of how deadly they can be. 400K covid and 100K drug overdose deaths in America is shocking. deseret.com/2021/11/18/227…
Because of the Second Amendment, guns are woven into the self identity of Americans Imagine if like some nations, everyone was required to own a weapon and serve their nation using it? CNN actually captured the confusion well. cnn.com/interactive/20…
The reality is that we see how easily things that used to protected us, now kill us. Six other nations changed their constitutions. businessinsider.com/2nd-amendment-…
And how much gun should I be allowed to own...you know...in case I ever "fear for my life"?

A surprising lack of deference and reference to black and grey operations of World War Two. Some of them just one google away. smithsonianmag.com/history/fighti…
World War One "There must have been more deliberate lying in the world from 1914 to 1918 than in any other period of the world's history" bl.uk/world-war-one/…
The media tries real hard to explain weapons but they just don't get it.
Failgun videos are my favorites. Guns are dangerous kids.
Guns are tools and machines. Very ancient mechanical designs that rely on compressing explosions to direct a dense mass object towards a target. Optimally to destroy the target via trauma and concussion.
There is an aggressive campaign to deify Kyle Rittenhouse and demonize his victims. The end result is to normalize vigilantism. I am not sure if this is a cultural throwback to Billy the Kid and the dime novel but it's interesting.
The narrative is similar The factual basis erased.
the funniest part is that the ads that monetize these videos are pitching anti 5G beanies and low testosterone quack cures.
Putin denies this...."Ukraine has uncovered a plot for an attempted coup with the involvement of Russians, due to have taken place next week, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday at a press conference." jpost.com/breaking-news/…
“In this season you have what we call Rasputitsa, which is mud,” stated Pavel Felgenhauer, a Moscow-based army analyst for the Jamestown Foundation. "Once the frosts come you can move in any direction you want,” today24x7.com/News/mud-could…
The best private security scandal you'll read all week. Dark bananas, tin foil rooms, nuke bunkers, paramilitary missions to Mexico, pissed off strippers and Trump's private CIA called Aymntor. Can you hear that scrubbing sound? nypost.com/2021/11/20/bil…
Aram Roston first figured it out in 2017. A bunch of former Dewey people wanted to provide a private CIA. Pompeo insisted that the actual CIA would get much more vicious. Trump was positive deep state was spying on him. Aymtor to the rescue. buzzfeed.com/aramroston/tru…
Then Matt Cole at the Intercept discovered that the private CIA was even crazier than Rostom imagined. "John [Maguire] was certain that the deep state was going to kick the president out of office within a year,” theintercept.com/2017/12/04/tru…
