    I love me some tequila and mezcal... a lot.  That's all I buy.  But if I was in Utrecht I would be picking out some Jenever.  And I'm a few months late... 

    No worries, I picked that up too and drank a fair amount of it while I was there. I'm an equal opportunity drinker.

  2. Also, aluminum hat conspiracy thought: what if the goal is to draw a bunch of Isreali forces into Gaza then set off a nuke in a tunnel under the city? Ultimate jihad which the rest of the Arabic world could leverage as Israel's military would be decimated.

    If I am Taiwan right now I got my head on a fucking swivel. 

    Not yet. Not until the US is formerly engaged and entrenched in this new conflict. It'll make it harder for us to reposition at that point. 

  4. Rereading the carrier group movement. Interesting to me that A10s are part of the package. Tells me we are ready for ground support along with air support.

    Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Sunday he has ordered the Ford carrier strike group to sail to the Eastern Mediterranean to be ready to assist Israel after the attack by Hamas that has left more than 1,000 dead on both sides. Americans were reported to be among those killed and missing.

     

    The USS Gerald R. Ford, the Navy’s newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, and its approximately 5,000 sailors and deck of warplanes will be accompanied by cruisers and destroyers in a show of force that is meant to be ready to respond to anything, from possibly interdicting additional weapons from reaching Hamas and conducting surveillance.

    Maybe it's entertaining and cathartic in a way, but we can't have a functioning democracy with 1 branch of government completely dysfunctional. 

    Everything Trump touches dies.

    And unfortunately this has to hurt to the point that their voters stop voting in domestic terrorists. I know that is a big ask of a willfully ignorant voter base, but this is what has to happen.
