MBS, quick! Spend another kajillion petro-dollars on The Line to funnel some money into Kush-dog’s pockets so he’ll convince Trump to step in.

If I was SecDef I’d make a policy that had a gal like her running the armory at every SFG. No more NODs being sold on EBay on her watch.

100%. It was a turkey shoot. Whatever was really done to get into Pakistan airspace and out was far more impressive, including in the event that some diplomatic/espionage backchannel played a role as I personally suspect.

They thought it’d be first of many to roll “democracy” across the Mideast, i.e. generally compliant states like the Saudis. Then when they wage war on China, or anyone else, they have better control over the oil tap. (Yes I know the Strait of Malacca plan but us imperial heads gotta have contingencies).
Also this was when peak oil was a huge concern, pre fracking.
Anyway, we fucked ourselves and blew our Cold War victory load way too fast and now China won by doing nothing.

Honestly, kind of a close analogue to Trump/Evangelicals.

When the IDF was still the Haganah, they did store weapons in civilian homes, as most paramilitary groups do. And even today, they have been caught dressing as civilians and medical personnel during raids. They've used civilians as human shields in Gaza. And they've systematically destroyed civilian infrastructure as a form of collective punishment.

Israel has major military headquarters and bases located within densely populated civilian areas. If Hezbollah aims for those and hits civilians, do you say the same?

Workers during the first Industrial Revolution had to fight, literally often times, for those concessions.

The military is full of midwit officers who think AI “operationalizes lethality.” They eat this shit up.

I still regularly meet people through work who think AI will automate literally all white collar work.

I really do think it will be the most significant event in the decline of the American empire when the historical record is revisited 100 years from now.
Of the many mistakes was the idea that we could fund the War on Terror almost entirely through borrowing without any wartime tax increases, a first in our country's history.

Except you have no clue how this guy came to be an IS fighter, whether he fought or was press ganged into ditch digging, or whether he genuinely was an IS fighter and not some half dead teen who the SEALs smoked or found barely kicking and made their own assumptions.
That’s why those normal rules are universally applied so morons don’t think they can play judge, jury and executioner.
Nearly a century before Reddit, there were comic book shops and the over bearing nerd lords who ran them.
If anything, this guy is fighting the tide of streaming and e-commerce by defending his in-person dork store.
