The Republicans, with majority control of all three branches of government, have proven themselves inept, incompetent, irresponsible and generally incapable of successfully governing? Surely this is just a one time thing and not part of a continuing cycle that has repeated itself numerous times through the lifespans of the same voters who elected them! /s

That should just go without saying. No female athletes, just oiled up twinks and gym bros frolicking in a field naked for weeks. /S

Because North Korea did it and anything a dictator does he wants to do to.

More than you'd think. Any facilities that need 24 hour coverage like medical,, care and of course corrections. All of which have in common the staff really don't want to spend an extra 10-20 minutes waiting for a 20s something to show up and take offense when called out. And in my experience these 20s somethings hate any reason for them to be kept late at work.

If it's shift work and someone is waiting on you then arrive so they can go home or start to work and a team its a big deal cause you're wasting someone elses time.

Stupid, legacy calculus but calculus none the less. During the Cold war both sides recognized that a direct or near direct hit on a launch site could potentially negate any chance for retribution or follow up attacks in an otherwise limited/not all out scenario. So they counted the delivery mechanism they could identify, did some multiplication to account for misses and defenses and came up with a number. Then the other side noticed the build up, comes up with same general calculus and runs the same general math to decide how many they need. And this the goes back and forth for decades where each side is building up counters to their rivals counters. And the numbers we have now are actually a reduction from the peak of the Cold war build up.

Unless I'm mistaken Russia has way more nukes than the US still.

To that person. Huh? Nearly every interplanetary launch has been using a gravity assist to save fuel despite such journeys taking much longer
