  1. I am personally glad that these assholes are not getting the benefit o the doubt, in the old days military action got a rally around the flag effect, but these punks lost in the polls.
  2. Spurrier WISHES he could cause as much terror and fear as big bro causes Aggie. No amount of "Citrus bowl without UT" smack can compare to the generational trauma inflicted on gomers.
  3. There is a level of overrating the Nuclear bomb, maybe it was propaganda to excuse so much money spent (afterall the bomb just HAD to be dropped despite objections by the Manhattan project scientists). A) there weren't that many, only 3 at most for a very long time, and two were used B) Required air superiority because only bombers could deliver them, and you don't want to risk that if there is air patrols. C) lastly kilotons are not megatons as mentioned the potential to kill was way lower That said nukes really became the end of humanity threat during the hottest moment s of the cold war. A) tens of thousands of nukes B) ICBMs that could deliver them anywhere in mere minutes C) Hydrogen bombs in the megaton range. I am guessing this is where the confusion comes from, conflating one with the other.
  4. But then again they did not surrender before the Soviets declared war in between both bombs. At the end of the day historical consensus that everything that happened after the surrender of Germany was less the conclusion of WWII, but the beginning of the Cold War. All of the ramifications The US dropping nukes literally on the day the Soviets promised to enter the war, Japan feeling betrayed by the Soviets, led to them siding with the US 100% after Truman allowed Hirohito to stay. the Soviets invading Manchuria and giving it to Mao as a the springboard to win the Sino civil war The Soviet capture of pyongyang and US landings at Inchon, dividing Korea. All of it was Cold War related. That was the calculus.
  5. If I did not know Trump any better I would think he was playing 4D chess to knee cap Bibi.

  7. Its funny how you just memory holed the Hillary Clinton election.
  8. Come on man, even in just the Pacific it was clearly Midway.
  9. No, working class people pivoted to MAGA, in 2016 it was white working class, in 2024 it was ALSO hispanic working class. At this current rates the black working class is headed there as well. Worrying about bigger blowouts is irrelevant and inexcusable when we are talking about losing to Orange Hitler. Anybody that went "lets minimize losses" instead of "win or we all die" in 2020/2021 needs to be evicted from the party for incompetence.
  10. NYC mayor is notoriously difficult to break out of, none of them went on to do greater things after it, their most famous mayor, Time magazine's person of the year. turned out to be the biggest loser in all of politics, a fluffer for the the orange idiot. There has to be a pattern somehow that NYC really is the A&M of political careers.
  11. Yeah 40% is the cult but a good 55% is fascist persusasive.
  12. Considering NYC Mayor is where all careers go to die, he ended up elevating his profile and is probably the biggest winner in all of this.
  13. The United States did not build a drone manufacturing base in the middle of the the cave next to UBL lived, the level of intelligence access Israel had in Tehran up until last week went beyond anything ever seen, when they appointed the head of counter intelligence he was a Mossad asset, who then appointed other assets. Honestly SAM coverage can be repeatedly beaten with US based satellite intelligence, but Iran could very well cut off that intelligence spigot if they are paranoid enough. That was the real clownshow that they started an unwinnable war and burned probably all their assets in the process.
  14. Well he did say there was a female pilot and what do you know TG2 did have a female pilot!
  15. If they knew then Israel knew since they were a leaking bucket. Also I saw an insane amount of US based jingonism online rah rahing Israel, including the top cheeto that was so damn jealous he had to get the last word, probably watched Top Gun 2 to get in the mood.
  16. Uhh Hamas staged Oct 7 without Iranian approval (and we are more than 100% confident about this because Tehran was Mossad's playground apperantly), does that not make them non proxys according to your definition? As for the 700 arrested people, no doubt a lot of them are innocent people but I think that Mossad playground might be closed for good. Netanyahu really screwed the pooch just to remain in power.
  17. Also centrifuges are delicate if they are running, I don't think them being in a stored position makes them delicate.
  18. You have a funny definition of facts, what you call facts I call irrelevant conspiracy theories. Not to mention nobody cares about the HB laptop or the quick conclusions RETIRED people reached, not even the current GOP does because it was a dumbass conspiracy theory.
  19. Most analysts don't think so, they seem to be running low on TELs which are harder to hide after they fire. Israel was running out on Arrow missiles though, a higher percentage of ballistic missiles passed through.
  20. I have no idea how NYC operates, how does vote splintering work? can a Republican capitalize? how stupid is to do ranked choice for primaries but not for elections?
  21. Its such a fucking mess I honestly don't know nor pretend to care about their motivations wink wink, I still stand by my prediction that if/when Trump achieves totalitarian control that he will start military adventures willy nilly against everyone. They are not for peace but somehow the isolationist wing of the GOP has some power early in the 4th Reich.
  22. Isn't he polling 20% with Jews? at the end of the day the same fears were had for Sadiq Khan and he has been successful mayor of London.
  23. Not to mention they are currently colonizing Syria, they have the leader they always wanted and their response is that they own the territory south of Damascus. https://www.voanews.com/a/netanyahu-says-israel-won-t-allow-syrian-forces-south-of-damascus-/7985248.html If the Israeli public is stupid enough to continue down this path then they are the same death cult they portray islam as.
  24. I would just like to point out how an unbelievable shit show this whole thing was, had you told me that Trump, Bibi, and the Ayotollah would all conspire with each other to stage a show on how to cement themselves in power I might have believed you. As it stands Israel went to war without a realistic objective or a realistic means to achieve their objectives. Trump put on a show flexing military power to a supposed isolationist fanbase, and the Supreme Leader got the excuse to triple down on getting nukes and root out Mossad assets. Aside from the people that died/maimed/lost everything, the biggest losers are the ones who were exposed to this farce, us. https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-said-weighing-snap-elections-in-light-of-popular-iran-offensive/
