  1. What's new in this club
  2. The danger is becoming deaf to the point of ignoring it completely. We are reliving the 1930s but there are more outlets for the mass dissemination of their lies and propaganda. It is a clear and present danger to our democracy and it is our duty to stay vigilant.
  3. Well, those 6 immigrants working on bridge paving wouldn’t have died if we didn’t let them in. or something like that. It’s dangerous in a way, but I have become more or leas deaf to what the MAGA crowd has to say these days. The crazy can only be absorbed for so long.
  4. I can only wonder how many actually believe this shameless crap because the fascist movement currently underway in this country is dependent on on the mass dissemination of lies they propagate. https://www.thedailybeast.com/newsmax-and-fox-news-pundits-blame-bridge-collapse-on-open-border-and-covid-lockdowns
  5. Every time I see this thread title, I think of Britney Spears singing whoops I did it again.
  6. I didn't share this tweet in the main forum, but I thought about it:
  7. I cannot imagine Iran really believed that a proxy war using Houthi’s would be successful in any way. I wonder their endgame?
  8. U.S. sinks Houthi boats. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/us-navy-sinks-3-houthi-boats-attacking-merchant/story?id=106016731
  9. Tuberville is an abject moron and ignoramus. Who can forget his masterful grasp of our system of government when he declared the three branches were the House, the Senate, and the Executive. And while it’s concerning that unqualified idiots like him, MTG, Boebert and others get elected to office, they are only a symptom of the electorate that puts them there. And that is downright scary.
  10. Trump tapped into a certain type of charismatic populism that drew in people who were looking for something different, Vivek seems like he is trying to ride that same wave, but Trump has such a grip on his base that Vivek isn’t going to gain a foothold. At least not anytime soon.
  11. The Commandant of the Marine Corps suffered an apparent heart attack a couple days ago. Without an Assistant Commandant appointed, the duties fall to three star.
  12. Finally the GOP is calling out Tubberville. It's about time, this blanket hold nonsense is shameful and plays into our enemies hands. Pentagon has finally had it too.
  13. Iran keeps poking the bear with their piddly proxy “militias” in the region. So far, I like our measured responses like taking out munition depots in Syria and meeting their charged, heated rhetoric with calm and simple statements about not wanting the conflict to escalate and reserving our right to protect our troops and interests in the region all while inserting additional troops and military assets into the theater illustrating our full intention to do so. People like Ramasmarmy need to understand that it’s our NATO allies as well as those in the Pacific that enable us to deploy such assets in order to meet potential threats.
  14. Would have to go look on telegram for this, but when one pops up again I will share it here. The estimates from the USA are usually lower than Great-Britain or Ukraine.
  15. Before he stepped down from managing his hedge fund in 2017, Robert Mercer was the largest contributor to the GOP and the biggest investors in that fund were Russian oligarchs, also known as Putin’s lackeys. Huge investments in the state of Kentucky by Russian oligarchs still sit on Moscow Mitch’s desk as he decides which candidates to dole it out to. Properties flipped to Russian oligarchs for tens of millions of dollars more than their purchase prices. It goes on and on. The anti NATO, anti democracy rhetoric was bought and paid for by Putin and he’s getting his money’s worth. Opportunist or not, Ravasmarmy is toeing the Russian line. And it’s dangerous.
  16. I have felt for some time now that a number of folks on the GOP side have been compromised by Russia. I don’t know ***** about Vivek, but I surmise that he is more likely just an opportunist.
  17. Saying that leaving NATO is “reasonable” is beyond irresponsible, especially in today’s geo-political climate. I can only surmise that, like Cheeto Doosh, Ramasmarmy is well funded by Russian oligarchs, is clueless about world history, doesn’t follow current events, and doesn’t give two craps about preserving American democracy. And this is what passes for a presidential candidate?
  18. We are engaged in a shadow war with Iran at the very least. Iran-backed rebels in Yemen thought they’d launch a few cruise missiles at Israel but they were easily destroyed by our anti missile batteries aboard a couple navy destroyers already in the Red Sea. Dozens of A-10 Warthogs arrived in the region, ostensibly to take out the hundreds of Iranian missile and heavily armed gunboats massed on the Lebanese coast if they should decide to attack the fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean. Not to mention the all the other assets we have in the region.
  19. Those 100000 + since 2014 by Ukraine itself, russian losses are estimated by Great-Britain too.
  20. Ukraine military already lost 100.000 + soldiers, Russia probably lost over 300.000 + Civilian casualties in Ukraine probably around 50.000 easy already but more if you count the war started in 2014.
  21. that marines add in between periods made me think, damn WWIII must be coming if they start making adds like that. Gave me this vibe
  22. I think China would definitely want a “peaceful” reunification. The power vacuum in the Middle East post U.S. GWOT is probably enticing to them as they continue to expand their reach/influence. Any way to divert U.S. assets and attention is a win for Russia and China IMO. Nice post BTW!
