> Ah yes, a riot by 150 unarmed idiots in which the only person killed was one rioter shot by a police officer, well after it started.

That's, I guess.. a take.

Regarding your link..

If this is the case, what is your proposed solution to avoid this "civil war" in France?

Even better, it happens to also be true. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38679379>

I am neither French nor responsible for the generals writing the open letter. Why not ask them?

You asked for evidence of possible civil war in the EU. I provided evidence from a very compelling source of such a possibility in one of the EU's founding members, something you obviously had not been aware of. Taken aback, all you can do is to sputter "no u".

> Even better, it happens to also be true.

Here is what actually happened:

> This report will provide greater detail about the multistep effort devised and driven by Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election and block the transfer of power. Building on the information presented in our hearings earlier this year, we will present new findings about Trump’s pressure campaign on officials from the local level all the way up to his Vice President, orchestrated and designed solely to throw out the will of the voters and keep him in office past the end of his elected term.

> As we’ve shown previously, this plan faltered at several points because of the courage of officials (nearly all of them Republicans) who refused to go along with it. Donald Trump appeared to believe that anyone who shared his partisan affiliation would also share the same callous disregard for his or her oath to uphold the rule of law. Fortunately, he was wrong.

> The failure of Trump’s plan was not assured. To the contrary, Trump’s plan was successful at several turns. When his scheme to stay in power through political pressure hit roadblocks, he relentlessly pushed ahead with a parallel plan: summoning a mob to gather in Washington, DC on January 6th, promising things “will be wild!”

> That mob showed up. They were armed. They were angry. They believed the “Big Lie” that the election had been stolen. And when Donald Trump pointed them toward the Capitol and told them to “fight like hell,” that’s exactly what they did.

> Donald Trump lit that fire. But in the weeks beforehand, the kindling he ultimately ignited was amassed in plain sight.
