Look at how terrible the Iranian ruling class is. They can't even get a decent cardboard cutout for their fake leader. Ours was extremely life like.

Where's the line ? Is 300mph a drone or a missile ?

The line between drone and cruise missile gets very blurry at long ranges. What exactly is the difference between a Tomahawk cruise missile and a 1000km range drone ?

Except almost all of the people pushing anthropogenic climate change are using the argument that the climate is changing as proof that we are causing it. Pre-human climate change easily refutes that argument. "This temperature graph is proof we are destroying the planet". "Then why does this...

To be fair, the girl scouts now have a better airforce than Iran.

Well, one of us will....

TATP is literally the kind of thing kids make with a recipe off the internet and some ingredients from Walmart. It's very dangerous when made right, and very very dangerous when made wrong, but it's also very easy to make. It doesn't require any special equipment and uses ingredients everyone...

The stock exchange itself is a massive company, and it supports a massive range of industries built around it. Many of those stock brokers and the whole infrastructure that supports them are only in NY because that's where the exchange is. The problem with having most of your population...

Would be like a ship at sea. What flag is it flying under. Will get more interesting once there are Mars colonies. Sooner or later one is going to declare independence from the country that founded it.

Wonder if the left will finally wake up to the fact that capital will just leave if you torture it too much.

Not for long... US destroys Iranian navy vessels — including 16 minelayers — near Strait of Hormuz US destroys Iranian navy vessels — including 16 minelayers — near Strait of Hormuz

I'd support assisted suicide, even taxpayer funded over the internet. You just have to check the "I support communism" button on the website and your kit shouod arrive same day.

Imagine if we annexed Australia. "How do you vote senator ? " -- "Yea, no".

I mostly agree, except for the last part. The CIA needs to die. They're probably the biggest threat on the planet to the American way of life.

Last time they layed mines we sank half their navy in the morning. I guess they figure since they don't have a navy anymore they've got nothing to lose. My question though is what are they laying the mines with ? About all they have left is a rowboat and a canoe.

Rumors are that his codename was "mayfly".

Have you seen the actual violent crime statistics ?

You're talking about the reporters, right ?

They only sort of have nukes. They are actually leased trident missiles from us. They have full control of them, but they send their subs here to get armed and for any maintainence for the missiles. Let's hope when it does come down to that, they take the South African approach and get rid of...

The legitimate Iranian government gave us territory to build an embassy. Then the islamist terrorists took it by force and held all the American diplomats and staff there hostage for a year and a half. It was a pretty big deal.

The real danger for them is that decentralization also means the decision about which side to take in the coming revolution is *also* decentralized. That's precisely why dictatorial regimes centralize power so much, and why the US can really decentralize well.

I'm willing to give him some latitude. Venezuela certainly didn't turn into some major entanglement. If he manages to prosecute the others in a similar manner we'll be far better off. The reason we end up with messes like Afghanistan and Vietnam is because our leaders want to use the military...

Bunch of red states should pass the same law, specifically citing this one as precedent in the law itself, but that say schools must teach that gender is biologically tied to sex.

Isn't everything about Waltz a joke ?

They don't have them, or they would have used them by now. We were very sure they didn't have them or we wouldn't have gone in like this (which is the main reason *anyone* wants them). They may have once had the ability to get them quickly, depending on your definition of "quickly", but they...

What would be even more interesting is how those new congressmen would vote...

Attacking someone with Somali settlers should be considered a war crime.

More likely to become US territories than states. Maybe statehood later. In the mean time they would be like Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands.

When they have to include the time of day when noting the length of your reign, it's not a good sign.

Funny how all the people they shot were leaving and not entering though. Go ahead and try to find the equivalent for people trying to escape the west. Top 10 Berlin Wall Escapes You Should Try Top 10 Berlin Wall Escapes You Should Try Turns out nobody in the west would stop you leaving, just...

Which way were the machineguns pointed ?

So good that the west Germans were better supplied during the Berlin air lift than the east Germans were by rail at the same time.

Maybe, but they have no military usefulness at this point. Nothing they do does. Iran is flailing about at this point, they are unable to do anything more than occasional random terror attacks. Adding chem or bio into that wouldn't change things significantly. They can do nothing to prevent...

If you're going to hold parents like this responsible, then they need to start doing it to the parents of all the underage gangbangers too. It's not a good plan, but if you're going to do it, do it consistently.

Decent people would get together and just kill everyone manning the first roadblock, then disappear back to their village. No witnesses no survivors. A few weeks later, do it again. Pretty soon, no more roadblocks.

Nothing will improve until politicians are actually punished for violating people's rights. Somehow they managed to convince the public that they have immunity for "official acts". Well, I say violating people's rights is not part of your official duty, so there's no immunity. SAFE alone...

Realistically it's about where the fighting is happening more than just a count of nations. How much of the world is considered "in theater". It really doesn't matter *what* about 180 of those 193 countries do either way. Also, sub Saharan Africa counts about as much as Antarctica.

They want to be martyrs and die for the cause, we want them dead. It's a perfect deal.

Well, 5-10 average. Some of them should just have a new jail built on top of them when the old one wears out.

Exactly. Preferably turning big rocks into small rocks. They need to bring that back.

Honestly, I think most of them deserve 5 to 10...

The devil is in the details. What qualifies as "needed regulations" can vary widely depending on who you talk to. Personally I think maybe 10% of what's out there qualifies. But, if you ask any official spokesman for any government agency, they'll swear on a stack of bibles that every single...

Well, that's what Green Berets do, they organize the locals to do our dirty work for us.

Iran has been the primary source of middle Eastern strife since Saddam fell. They're behind 90% of what goes on. While I'm never in favor of fighting other people's wars for them, it is absolutely in America's interests to have the middle east not be such a shit show. So much of global trade...

You just described my front yard LOL. That's the driveway on the right.

I keep more than that in the glove compartment for the backup gun LOL. That's literally one spare mag.

Want to go one better ? Instead of playing games with the stock, just make an attachment that extends the action down to the end of the magazine. Then the normal grip doesn't extend below it. Kinda a Kriss Vector look.

Yes, a benevolent monarch can be better tan a democracy, it's just unlikely to stay benevolent for more than a generation. Democracy can still be plenty tyrannical, it's just less likely. It's all about the odds.

Power vacuums are always messy. It's anyone's guess who will come out on top. It's very rare that it's someone good. But, when you have the sorts of leadership they had, you have to keep rolling the dice until you get someone acceptable. They may need to go through multiple iterations of the...

The fact that we don't already have a complete dossier on the shooter including who he had breakfast with 2 weeks ago tells you all you need to know.
