Israel vs everyone war thread
That is as close to a furiously waved white flag as could reasonably be expected. If this was the cost of dropping those bunker busters (without them even closing the Strait of Hormuz) this is a huge win for the US. Wish we could drop this moron from a B-2 into Iran.

Israel vs everyone war thread
I have no idea how this turns out but you have to see this as the line of reasoning. I despise Trump and our endless wars, but I also don’t think Iran with nukes is in anyone’s interest. Everyone agreed they shouldn’t have them, but no one did anything about it. The German PM made a comment to that effect. Shit happened, Israel obliterated Irans proxies and its air defense, and a golden opportunity arose to knock out their nuclear program with a good possibility of limited to no consequences. I’d be tempted too.

Israel is attacking Iran
Is this real? Because I don’t see it on their site.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
This is Israel and US holding Irans feet to the fire on the negotiations. The administration in Iran is going to be under a lot of internal pressure to make a deal. The regular folks there don’t want a war. Who knows if Bibi does wtf he wants to anyway.

Moving to London
There is a very active Texas Exes chapter in London. They have game watching parties, even for the super late kicks. Highly recommend that you get involved.

Moving to London
I lived in West Hamstead. London isn't actually a cohesive city, it a collection of numerous closely related cities clustered together. Be honest with yourself about what you value (hipster coffee shops and restraunts, family friendly, closeness to work, etc.) and pick one accordingly. Dress for the rain; when people say it rains a lot in the winter, I didn't appreciate what that actually means. It rains ALL THE TIME. And not like a Portland drizzle - it downpours. Avoid renting a basement flat. All the wind, rain and trash collects on your front doorstep.

2025 C Lewis Obiorah
Good for him. Gets exposure to some elite basketball and some decent food. Good luck going back to bacon baps and oily fried fish after living in Austin, Texas kid.

Scalia, for all his flaws, was at least intelligent.

Texas 2021 Recruiting Class Review: The Penthouse, the Outhouse & the Big House
I’ve followed Texas recruiting for almost 30 years. I check the board multiple times a day, listen to the podcasts, buy Scipios stupid book, etc. I have absolutely no memory of Quay Davis, Landon King, and Michael Myslinski.

Percy Harvin was pretty disgusting.

The Trump Economy
He's trying to give Trump an off ramp by throwing someone under the bus (probably Navarro).

The Trump Economy
Isn't it all connected though? Because people have been saying these are dishonest, unserious people, who will run this country into the ground. Jan 6, Ukrainian aid, the COVID response...it's all led us to here. But trans kids are running track and we elected a black man, so the racists had no choice.

WH pres sec denies Trump is considering the 90 day pause. LOL

The Trump Economy
Shoutout to Trump for not blowing up the world in order to save his ego. Like, fuck that guy, but that's a mighty big step for him. If its true and all.

Non-political tariffs thread
The only (colorable) arguments I've heard in favor of them are that Reagan did this shit to Japan over cars and look at all the car manaufacturing in the south now!! and that it is a brush back pitch on other countries tarrifing us disproportionately.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
What does this leak actually tell us? That they're incompetent, dishonest morons that will lie and blame the media when it is 100% obvious to everyone with a pulse that they did exactly what they're being accused of? I already knew that about them. And so did the American people. We voted for this. In 6 months (probably less), we will have a similarly stupid scandal that will break out, no one will remember this one, and nothing will matter. We need to stop saying phrases like "we're better than this" or "this doesn't reflect us". It 1000% reflects us. The ideal people have in their head of what America is and stands for doesn't exist, and hasn't for quite some time.

It will not matter. There will be one fall guy (at most) and everyone will move on.

2025 NFL Draft
Whatever we paid Golden out of the portal, it wasn't enough. Amazing evaluation by the staff.

I mean, he ran the second fastest RB time at the combine. Yeah, Blues issues are well documented, but come on. It’s a good time.

SE Asia/Japan in July
We had different experiences in Beijing. If you go to China, you need to do some advanced planning. For example, Google (including, importantly, Google maps) is banned, and therefore you can't google what to do if there isn't google. We used apple maps, which was shit. There are Chinese apps, but (at least 5 years ago) none of them were in English. Free wifi is also pretty rare there unless you have a Chinese number and it can be difficult to get cash because few of the banks will take your debit card. I would avoid a VPN, because if you get searched in the airport, they always look for it.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
This is 5000% true. America has a horrible tradition of racism. Absolutely horrible. But what is OK to say in polite company in parts of Europe would never fly in the US. Central and south americans can imigrate to Spain pretty easily, so there are lots of Argentenians, Venzuelans, Brazilians, etc. here. They get tons of shit and for the most part hate Spainards.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Yes, but to be fair, the drastic amount of foreigners has not exactly gone over super well with all of the population. I married an Espanola and live here now, and there's tons of complaining about all the migrants (who are either super poor or super rich, many of whom have little grasp of the language) either increasing crime or increasing housing/food prices. Every silver lining has a cloud.

Josh Allen named MVP
But it didn’t go to the best QB (Mahomes), nor to the QB who had the best season (Jackson).
