  1. The thing about Panama is that Reagan and then Bush were working with Congress and getting Congress involved. The US military spent years gaming out scenarios and the politicians developed plans for once Noriega was captured or killed. That didn't happen here. Plus, in the run-up to the invasion, Panama declared war on the US, and Panamanian forces killed a US Marine Corps officer and captured a US Navy officer and wife. Panama had its issues, but it was a lot more clear-cut than this operation, where we have no plans for what to do now that we captured Maduro.
  2. Also toss in that if Ukraine doesn't give up its nukes, the chances of a Russian invasion drop quite a bit. Lot of countries in the world have to be looking at those two things now that Trump has actually, publicly, said we need to go after more countries.
  3. Here’s hoping we get the sequels then. I took my middle-schooler to an IMAX 3D screening (theater one at Barton Creek AMC is absolute trash, avoid Barton Creek AMC) after he watched the first two the previous week at home and he absolutely loved them. I’m like the others, I appreciated the visuals and I kind of saw what they were going for, but the last battle was too much. At this point, what’s left of RDA leadership? Cameron said if 4-5 are not made, he will write a book wrapping up the one dangling plot line from three. What was it? The colonel’s death or the Ash tribe?
  4. We aren’t running anything if we don’t have boots on the ground and/or control of any part of their society. It’s crazy, we have all of these people talking about what’s down the road, but nobody is talking about the fact that we do not currently control Venezuela in any way, shape, or form outside of a naval blockade. And I’m lukewarm on Zeihan on a lot of things, but he’s right about their food imports. We are about to become responsible for making sure that many Venezuelans are eating, and there’s a timer that has started. Shame USAID got cut, that’s their bread and butter.
  5. Good background listen for those not following too closely. It is odd that protestors are calling for the return of the Shah. Lane Kiffin, you’re up!
  6. I don't think Cuba or Venezuela have the capability to bomb Pearl Harbor.
  7. So I've been dealing with the flu the past few days and napped a lot today. Maybe I heard incorrectly, but I swear I heard Trump say we're going to run Venezuela and get the oil. We don't have boots on the ground, and Maduro's people are still in control, and therefore we have no control. But we are going to run it and send civilian oilfield workers in there to take back "our" oil. But we don't control it.
  8. She’s going to have to up her game, people are going to forget about her now that Trump is a wartime President again.
  9. What could go wrong attacking a country that we share a large border with, that had a third of our population.
  10. My dad said something about we have refineries that could handle that oil. Trump at least spent a lot of time talking about taking the oil. At least he’s not hiding it.
  11. Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska is realizing what will happen, when the US get control over Venezuela's oil reserves: "If our American "partners" get to the oil fields of Venezuela (and they have already reached the fields of Guyana), they will control more than half of the world's oil reserves. And, apparently, their plan is to ensure that the price of our oil does not rise above $50 per barrel."
  12. Oh, and before American oil companies go in there, we probably should, and I'm just spitballin' here, we can workshop the details later on, but I think we should probably secure the country first. We start sending in oilfield workers and engineers without, I dunno, having boots on the ground, well I don't think it will end well. And that's putting aside the fact that it's not really our business to help companies deal with really bad decisions on where they invested in the first place. Venezuelan defence minister calls US attack 'criminal', urges international response | Watch
  13. Trump says US oil companies will spend billions in Venezuela American taxpayers are going to pay so fucking much to secure Venezuela for many years to come.
  14. Pads back then were pretty shitty, they ended up on concrete, and he was taking on a DB by himself
  15. I still very much appreciate the fact that he was going to fight him even though none of his teammates were around and was willing to get thrown out of the game.
  16. It's even funnier if you imagine it's the same guy throughout the video.
