  1. Agreed, I'm certain the plan all along included US assistance. They may not have asked prior to starting, but its wildly idiotic if they just hoped or assumed the US would help once things kicked off. I think the US most likely will and already agreed but its really speculation from all of us at this point.
  2. It's also June.
  3. I've faced a lot of bullies in my work and personal life. My instincts on them tend to be pretty fucking accurate. You seem largely unfamiliar with standard bully tactic protocol. If you agree that Israel knew the end game at start, which is all out war and ending the current Iranian regime and nuclear threat, then its poor bully tactics to not have secured backing of the biggest bully prior to throwing the first punch. That's exactly what a bully would do unless he's really stupid, which he may we be.
  4. Okay, I did truly NOT expect to hear "Okana's finger bang session" in that video, particularly given the tone of the narrator.
  5. I'm sadly aware. Oddly, I'm comforted by the fact that Sooners outnumber them pretty substantially. Pick your poison sort of deal.
  6. I agree with your second point, but my instincts, based on history, tell me that one bully makes sure he has the backing of a bigger bully prior to picking a fight.
  7. Most aggies are Houston pro sports fans, and at least the vast majority of Mavs and Cowboy fans know why the they are miserable. aggie delusion doesn't allow for that awareness.
  8. Thats sarcasm right? It's already been discussed behind closed doors, if a choice has been made is all that's TBD/announced. Israel knew their end game before they set the first missile loose.
  9. Agreed. The entertainment value of big brand teams vs our big brand team is so high. How big was OSU in 2005? How big was Michigan last year? How big is OSU next year? We talked about Michigan well into the playoffs. Then having Georgia, OUsux, aggie and upstart Vandy on our schedule made it a fun ass year of entertaining football. We only reference ULM and UTSA due to Arch starting them both.
  10. I will give this guy credit for his logic regarding Mack Brown recruiting but he lost the narrative track cause he somehow forgot that Texas won the first Big XII after we both joined in 1996 and while he remembered winning the Big XII south in 1997 somehow forgot the "close loss" to Corn to the tune of 54-15. Its also interesting that he did mention their one single 1998 Big XII championship which matches... checks notes... Arizona State, OSU, TCU and CU.
  11. I was shocked that stupidity was refuted with logic and data points by what must certainly be a sip sock account.
  12. What sort of lube is this and is it PDiddy approved? How much you asking?
  13. Well, when my mom wanted to buy a new car, I bought her Cross Trek. Enjoy THAT slow fat softball. 😉
  14. Bro, do you even Flaming Hot Doritos?
  15. Behind a paywall: NY Times Paywall Article
  16. Based on my Reuters feed, the tone and wording certainly appears to be that Israel is all in. I think it demonstrates a clear willingness (and plans) to move forward with Plan B (Killing all Iranian Regime leaders) and perhaps Plan A (Hitting OG), but it could be my own confirmation bias.

  17. Hmmm... well... that seems like a 101 sort of error that even our boy Graham would be able to catch. It lends weight to the hypothesis that he is, in fact, trolling aggie and dumbing down his content to obfuscate the reality.
  18. Yep! I a purely hypothetical if we recognize it, obviously Israel does. If it weren't for outside influencers, I'd be 100% certain that would be the path Israel would take. It comes down to what the Israeli government believes the world influences will let them get away with in conflict. However, regardless of outside influence, I think Israel has passed the point of negotiations and sees this as the best time given current global environment. (Yes, absolutely including the current POTUS as being a positive in their favor)
  19. I agree with all your points. Perhaps I'm just hope casting to what I selfishly believe is best for a lot of different aspects. I think hitting OG and the leadership is also best for the people of Iran long term not just western and Israel interests. Removing the funding keeps a different caliphate from just moving in, taking it over and being basically back where we started. Admittedly, my position is a simplistic one.
  20. Hey man, I'm personally absolutely for plan C. That removes a big problem piece off the board. Helps Israel and the US immensely long term and serves to help Ukraine dramatically while weaking Russia/Putin. Speaking purely from a selfish point of view, I'm good with that in all aspects.
  21. Direct conflict with the west is not beneficial for China financially, at least certainly near term. At the end of the day, conflict come down to control and money. While China absolutely worships control (like all of them), they certainly recognize how much money can influence it.
  22. One is plan A one is plan B, imo, but I agree that is certainly an option. My thinking from Israeli perspective, knocking out the OG kills the money supply. Killing the money supply cuts out the heart of the Hyrda. Killing current leaders leaves a vacuum that may well be filled by another similar Hydra. Your plan or Plan B if you prefer, imo, leaves a much higher risk for Israel long term, plan A reduces means for military supply, a funding source for another head of the Hydra and potential allows the people of the region to take over as their is no direct funding source for caliphate regime. But.. that's me looking at it from a tactical position and only Israeli interest. Outside influences are obviously going to have an effect in the broad terms and many of those won't want the OG attacked for many various reasons.
  23. This conflict has been building for decades. It was almost certainly always going to end with full on war between the two countries. I'm of the firm belief, this one goes all the way as Israel knows Iran will continue on their enrichment program no matter what is "agreed upon" in any settlement. Israel is correct in that assessment. I think to hurt them most Israel ultimately hits ends up hitting they're funding element which is their OG refinery. But that's just my instinct not based on any particular insight other than watching this unfold since I was a child.
