the US wants a peace treaty that wipes all the war crimes clean

And gives the invaders all the land they stole, while giving the victims of that invasion nothing but an empty promise to not do it again.

but there are nearly no niche non-tech communities here.

And if they do exist, there are 4 subscribers and zero posts in the last 6 months.

You just need the right combination of terminal commands.

 grep; unzip; touch; strip; finger; mount; gasp; yes; uptime; umount; sleep
