I mean guam deserves to be a state, there is a massive airbase there and it will be missiled hard if a war starts

Yup, it too.

Alarm bells are ringing

the whole problem here tho is that there's not doing to be a next democratic administration

Yes, but then we’ll have plenty of time to discuss our competing approaches in the camps. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

will there be color war in the camps? Can we play capture the flag?

They’ll make great relief from the mandatory square-dance classes.
