there actually is a bit about sacrificial spies that you tell wrong information to, send them out expecting them to be captured and tortured... it's kinda like that

they have a majority support from their MPs, but enough disapproval that they didn't even want to know how much...

MAD works if the opponents are rational, but it breaks down if one isn't...

replacing the prime minister, historically, has always been followed by an election loss (except if they died).
of course, not replacing them doesn't mean they _won't_ loose.

did they ever know what normal people want?

If Google had made the metaverse, the legs would have worked

It's about saving face. Prolongs the conflict without escalating too much because he doesn't want to admit he has lost, which an agreement would require.

this wikipedia editor is orbiting the moon right now!

just say you are sorry a bad thing has happened but you don't intend to do anything about it

maybe you eventually get old and die if you do too many side quests

very happy to see you're thinking about grimwire again!

Americans are so stupid the way they have been brainwashed to worship oil

The Sun is RIGHT THERE

YOU HARDLY GOTTA DO SHIT TO USE IT !!!!!!
