I am assuming this is satire and everyone missed that?

Because we elected a fascist clown to lead us.

We'll have Palin there, looking out her window, to let us know the second she sees the Russians.

It's my understanding that it's been put to a vote several times there and they've chosen not to join the states. Something about taxes going up.

The purpose of the flight of arrows was to blanket the area ahead of an army advancing to meet the front line of your army. It was mathematically, the only way to have a chance at killing a large number of targets, as being accurate at that range was nearly impossible, even for the best longbowman.

So they went with numbers over precision. This also allowed them to effectively slow down the pace of the advancing frontline if every time they loose their arrows, they all have to stop and take cover.

It has a tertiary goal of likely killing any wounded still on the ground. It's not a technique you'd use when your forces have fully engaged as it'd kill just as many of your units as the enemy's.

Finally, it could be used in strategic encounters to force the enemy to stagger/get out of position if you could cause just one part of their advancing line to stop, it'd essentially break or weaken the enemy's frontline.

It's what usually gets anyone suffering from a chronic illness in the end.

I believe it was 25 million in the end

There's a difference between net worth, and liquidity. That came out of his liquidity pool.

Edit, not sure why I was downvoted, this is the truth. A lot of his wealth is tied up in loans against his stocks. If you do enough damage, he has to sell more stock to pay that back, eventually over leveraging himself.

It would take a lot to do that today, which is why going after his TSLA sick price hurts him the most right now.
