I didn’t know compiler farms were a thing, but it makes perfect sense. During university, our computer security class involved finding exploits in Firefox. It took 8 hours to compile on our average student grade compute. There were probably

So you concede that it's about relevancy and not logical structure then.

> Whoever puts troops there first stops the other side from doing it, The problem is that is equivalent to setting up a flag. The East views America as an imperialist, and this would be provocation of imperialist expansion.

And then what? Is Europe and the USA expecting that he will just stop the invasion afterwards?
