By DY_nasty Go To PostUhhhh like I said though, that's been part of the game since the 60s
How many lessthanfriendly nations have supported (directly or indirectly) groups that specifically targeted American interests, interests of American allies, or other groups that supported (directly or indirectly) either and managed to NOT kill dozens of US persons while creating massive casualty numbers on a weekly basis?
Guys really need to stop bullshiting themselves to thinking the game has changed just because of Trump. No lol. How come 59 tomahawks can't do the same work they did in the gulf war? Ppl need to start asking for receipts instead of coupons but yal don't hear me 👐The main difference between his main theme in this particular lane is that people generally don't feel comfortable and "good" about it
And that's why I'm especially horrified by the 2020 president because they'll have the greatest moral favor blank check since Roosevelt.
Oh I know about the countless atrocities that happen all the time. Shit if Trump actually fell back from his refugee ban on this issue I would have begrudgingly been forced to admit he isn't as much of a monster..... he hasn't though
I hear you on the overall corruption angle, Shit Nixon stopped the Vietnam war from ending sooner, there is proof reagan and Iran agreed the hostages wouldn't be released until after Carter left...... Shit i don't even want to go down the W bush tunnel but we have all heard the conspiracies. Also I am not saying Dems are saint (LBJ was corrupt as hell with big oil, but arguably has been the most effective dem since FDR including Obama)
The difference here is 1) the blatantness & clumsiness of it all, 2) The reality that the president would sell us all out to build some hotels in Moscow 3) The fact that I say this as a guy who studied international trade. A lot of stuff that got us out our own economic slump was energy policies and Sanction that put Russia and the Middle East in slumps and Trump and his cohort seem more than happy to reverse that. 4) I am pretty sure Trump was gearing up to try and set up an American oligarchy of his own until this news kicked in and basically has put him on defense.....

Oh your talking economic hitman shit.... Silver or the Bullet. Oh yeah shit is grimey. Hell I am going to go all in and say I am not even sure capitalism is a viable long term system except the people at the top with the most guns force everyone to play along. But that is some
levels of evil..... No one is getting away from that.... That's move to a farm or a tropical island and try not to think about it evil. Like people talk about doing something about it but what can you do against a tomahawk missle? or an assassin with with radiated tea......

honestly i feel like Tump & Co. were so cocky they left evidence everywhere. Like the stuff coming out about the Russian's helping the House Republicans makes me think the plan was to always go in with a united Republican party and force shit through, they just fucked up because they couldn't get the FBI. I still think the Hillary Email investigation was suppose to push Comey into a very bad place politically and make it look like he was hiding those emails. If that had came out post election (after a Trump win) he would of had no political standing to lead this investigation and would of likely been pushed out of his job due to the scandal. I don't think they ever thought he would go out there and become the face of admitting he had an ongoing investigation into Hillary. Especially when he didn't say the same about Trump.
Also it explains why the FBI is going so hard. They literally were made to keep from happening what happened and they are trying to set shit straight to keep it from ever happening again
the middle east ain't done and there's decades left before declass and all that.... plus there's the obvious stuff that people love forgetting all the time because of the current themes fucking with the interpretation
africa is a clusterfuck and always will be. central america though? clear cut, tons of docs, you see the xs and os lined up, you see the winners and losers.
i'm not trying to say "whats more fucked up", i'm saying that implying Trump brought some strange new flavor into the white house is really
really
really
disingenuous

Plus you've got the coming internal war in Turkey after your lads are done building bases, training and arming the PKK, PYD and YPG.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior U.S. official says the United States has concluded that Russia knew in advance of Syria's chemical weapons attack last week.
The official says a Russian-operated drone flew over a hospital in Syria as victims of the attack were rushing to get treatment.
Hours after the drone left, a Russian-made fighter jet bombed the hospital in what American officials believe was an attempt to cover up the usage of chemical weapons.
Until Monday, U.S. officials had said they weren't sure if the drone was operated by Russia or Syria. The senior official said it still wasn't clear who was flying the jet that bombed the hospital.
The official said the presence of the drone couldn't have been a coincidence, and that Russia must have known the chemical weapons attack was coming and that victims were seeking treatment.
The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly on intelligence matters and demanded anonymity.

and we'll do nothing but more sanctions because that's the way modern warfare is done between big time powers these days
not that I'm advocating we do anything--but that's precisely why so much money into the military budget is useless--nobody is about to do shit
By blackace Go To PostI wonder how much oil is involved in this Syria conflict?
Relatively little, 0.5% of the world's supply. But there is a lot of natural gas in the Middle East that the Saudis & Europeans would like to build a pipeline to Europe for, which would need to lead right across Syria. The Russians provide a ton of natural gas themselves, so they're not motivated to see that happen.
Especially after post-Crimea Western sanctions on Russia have been strangling their economy; Putin needs a big noisy distraction that gets people behind him and makes it look like he's the only one who can stand up for Russia.
The sanctions naturally factor into Russia not being in a place economically to lose an arms client regime in Assad.
Syria also provides the Russians' only Mediterranean port, same for Iran.
Toss in the Alawis being a Shia-aligned minority, and neighbouring Sunni countries wanting them out.
Combine that with an Israeli/American desire to isolate neighbouring Shia Hezbollah.
Add a dash of fear that an unstable Syria provides territory for ISIS to get organized, dismantle an already fragile Iraq and then be in a position to threaten the Saudis.
Those are pretty much the reasons why this is all happening.
This administration... I can't help but laugh even though they've turned America into a complete fucking joke.

Its like two teenage girls talking about how one went on a date with the HS school Quarter back.
"and then he was eating the best chocolate cake in the world and I didn't want to end the night on dessert so I said 'I like you and I am willing to do stuff' and then he stopped for 10 seconds, looked at me and said 'your right'......." "that means he likes me right? I guess I can do stuff to his dorky neighbor and he'll be ok with it"

By the way, what the fuck is that drill gonna do against a tornado, anyhow?
Yeah, it won't do much in the case of a direct hit by a strong tornado, but that isn't the main danger from tornadoes anyhow. #tornadoalleylife
