It's like having ants. You'll never get rid of them if there's food out no matter how many you kill or how much poison you spread. But clean up the mess so there's no food and they'll just magically disappear.

The thing about moochers is that you don't *have* to kick them out. If you cut them off they will leave on their own.

Not surprising. How many guns do you think are laying around with only one set? You think this guy deep cleaned the rifle right before this ?

And we might finally get peace in the middle east out of this. What did we get in exchange for the Biden's price spike ? What were we even *trying* to get ?

You really need to find more diverse sources of information. Nobody claimed there wouldn't be temporary increases in oil prices. It's obvious that would happen, but it's necessary in the long run.

Don't you find it a bit odd that Europe is clutching their pearls and calling for us to surrender to stop the fighting while the Muslim Arabs that are actually in the middle east and are actually getting hit are saying "finish Iran off so we can be rid of them" ? Also, since modern European has...

In other news, the sun set in the west last night...

They would undoubtedly target NYC, DC, or LA. I'm not sure they wouldn't be doing us a favor TBH. I don't know what that country would look like when we were done though. Imagine trying to explain 1980s Japan to someone from the 1940s LOL.

Which is interesting because the actual muslim majority countries that are in the middle east are generally supportive. Sort of like the white liberal women who think blacks are too stupid to get an ID, and the actual blacks are like "no, it's not that hard"

If their definition of "cannot lose" is "if you die a martyr, then you win" then I believe we can reach an agreement.

Yes they have: https://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/kuwait-condemns-iranian-aggression-urges-strong-global-response/

Don't wait till they're at your door to do something about it. Any officers participating should be worried about who is going to knock on *their* door. I have no illusions about any Canadians having the balls to actually do something about it though. I do wonder how many "collection squad"...

"The constitution is not a suicide pact". It was written by the same people who's slogan was "give me liberty or give me death". If you can't handle that, then GTFO of the country and go live in the UK or Canada or something. Because eventually you ilk are going to keep pushing this until...

It's always easier to embezzle money from a failing enterprise than a successful one. Whenever you see something run so poorly that you can't imagine how anyone would think it was a good idea, consider that maybe none of the leaders even intended it to ever work. The Rochester fast ferry is a...

Aren't you supposed to be *less* likely to get shot with them around ? Imagine if he'd hit her LOL. I guess they're "helping" keep her safe in the same way the department of education is "helping" educate our kids.

The real criminals we need to lock up are in Albany, and many of the DAs and Judges.

More chins than a Chinese phonebook.

"The beatings will escalate until morale improves"

Once the corruption hits a critical mass it starts to reinforce itself in a positive feedback loop. Crooks protect crooks and actively try to force anyone out who presents a threat to corruption. It's an inevitable consequence of any long lasting bureaucracy. The only solution to that is a...

Why on earth does *anyone* get the government to pay for their criminal defense, outside of a public defender ? There is no job anywhere in government that "breaking the law" is part of.

It's not harder to buy an illegal gun in NY than it is to buy illegal drugs. Which is to say, not very difficult at all.

Market is down = bargain hunting time.

As bad as the US government is, China is *far* worse.

If they drop the requirements for new engines, then they kinda have to drop the prohibition on deleting them from old ones too. At least at the federal level.

Should just go back to Persia, I think the locals would prefer that. Then forget all about that unfortunate time they were called Iran.

You're not wrong, but I think limiting the ban to China is going the wrong direction. I think they should expand the ban to anyone who can't certify a fully domestic supply chain.

Isn't that the guy who played Palpatine?

Those were supermicro motherboards assembled in China. They were designed in the US by a US company that outsourced the assembly to China. China made the boards to look identical to the design, but added that back door in a way you can't find it without very sophisticated disassembly of the...

Because literally everyone else (and even probably half the domestic manufacturers is still using parts from China. Do a search for "chinese backdoor" and they're probably the only nationality out there where the first page is all hacking and not porn. Some of it is insidious. Malicious...

One of these came through the local gun shop out here a couple years ago. I was *this* close to buying it. EWGC Custom Glock 17 Gen3 17rd Nintendo Zapper Edition in 9mm (PI1750203-ZAP) EWGC Custom Glock 17 Gen3 17rd Nintendo Zapper Edition in 9mm (PI1750203-ZAP)

Iran would give ISIS a nuke in a heartbeat if they thought it would be detonated in NY or DC. They may dislike each other, but they won't pass up a "death to America" opportunity for it.

Well, I certainly don't accept what the US .gov says without question, their credibility is obviously orders of magnitude better than Iran's.

OMG, another sneak attack....

They were #1. Iran was just easier to take out.

Except for all the violence. That's the fundamental difference between "I just want to be left alone" and "use my pronouns or else".

They seem to have some very senior sources, so it's quite likely it's above the level where that information is aggregated.

Except that logic *does* follow when it comes to "how much are we missing". "Our intelligence on Iran was so bad we didn't know about a missile that could reach London, what else don't we know" is a valid line of reasoning .

Iran was behind every single one of those. Every bit as much as the US was behind the bay of pigs.

They've basically been waging was on us continuously since 1979. Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979-Present) https://share.google/7QW7NFkhHM8eeqOyq They literally tried to assassinate Trump. That *alone* justifies the current campaign. Why do some people think their...

I dunno, how many times do they need to attack our ships and bases and try to assassinate our president before they qualify ? Why is it you seem to think the US needs to just sit back and take it forever. We should have taken them out at the first opportunity after the '79 hostage crisis...

If by "surprise", you mean they didn't get prior warning of the exact time and targets, then yea. But, most rational people would agree they had plenty of warning that an attack was coming, and *nobody* is going to give them more detail than that. We have been striking them on and off for the...

Feb 19th, Trump explicitly said they had 10 or 15 days to reach a diplomatic solution or "bad things" would happen. Literally the whole world knew a strike was coming and the approximate time frame for it. It was only a "sneak attack" in the delusions of someone who is determined to hate...

You think that was a sneak attack ? They had months of explicit direct warnings it was coming. Just because they thought Trump was bluffing doesn't make it a sneak attack. And I do think they are enough of a *global* threat that we needed to act. Probably should have decades ago. The fact...

You seriously think someone is controlling Trump ? Isreal's goals and ours are roughly in alignment. Stabilization of the middle east is obviously more important to them, but that doesn't mean it isn't also in our interests. Since we both want that, it makes sense to coordinate our efforts.

They would cite things like the atomic bombs, or Dresden. And they would try to conflate the internment of Japanese Americans here to what was done to the Jews. Now, there is no excuse for what happened to the Japanese Americans, but comparing the two is disgusting. That's like saying a slap...

It's the logical conclusion of their ridiculous "critical theory" philosophy. When you divide all of society into "oppressed" and "oppressor", then whoever has power is automatically the bad guys, and whoever doesn't is the good guys. The if you point out that that means Germany and Japan...

We went to war in Iran for the same reason we went into Venezuela. It's a war for control of the planet, and those are key Lynch pins in China's strategy. Just because half the country is too stupid to understand why they don't want China in charge doesn't mean they will like it if it happens.

That's the point, this *hasn't* happened before.

Yea, nobody is going to trust anyone in that arrangement. But the fact that they are even talking is huge. If you remember Desert Storm, it was one of Bush's highest priorities to keep Isreal out of the fight because if they entered the rest of the Arabs would have taken off. Now they're...
