NSR: CHICAGO Political Thread ***HIGHLY TOXIC - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK***

Unfortunately Russia convinced Iran to let them lease out the building of the drones in Russian factories so while it will limit some, I believe the majority are already being built on Russian soil.

 

“Russia’s war in Ukraine is constraining Russia’s ability to provide military support to Iran, also highlighting how Russia has become less reliant on Iran for its war effort in Ukraine over time as Russia has indigenized the production of much of what it previously imported from Iran and has subsequently become much more reliant on North Korea.”

It was Hormuz. It seems to be way too wide for that to happen, but it was Hormuz. Remember, the shipping channel is considerably narrower than the distance from shore to shore, only 2 miles wide in each direction.

I had a Poli Sci professor who back in the day was one of 3 out of 50 US/European Middle East correspondents who was fluent in Arabic. Almost all of the news in the 60s & 70s was information ministry translations passed on as "reporting".

 

That's why it was news last week when Ukrainian "Flamingo" cruise missiles struck a missile factory almost a thousand miles inside Russia. Between their forces becoming more capable and Musk turning off Russia's Starlink access Ukraine has retaken ground the past month.

The missiles look suspiciously like a Nazi V-

 

FP-7 ballistic missile up next!

 

That was his claim anyways. I presume he spoke Hebrew also. I took classes freshman year I had no business taking, but NIU let me.. First semester I happened to have P. Allan Dionisopolous for Poli Sci 100 & liked the class so much the next semester I took his 400 level Constitutional Interpretation class & got a B. Other freshman Poli Sci classes were the aforementioned Middle East Politics (270) and Daley Machine (240) taught by a former ward committeeman.

Well I hope those commanders lead the way on foot right into the middle of this battle. May they be saved by the light of Jesus Christ himself as those bullets and bombs will just bounce off. Go forth, commanders!

 

Your First Amendment at work.

 

I'm 100% sure Trump going against his Pentagon and Chief of Staffs in favor of fighting a proxy war for Netanyahooo and Israel has absolutely NOTHING to do with blackmail or any possible secret video tapes by that guy who unalived himself...allegedly.

Libertarianism at work in the US.

 

Is there a point where people in this country stop seeing each other as adversaries? Are we too isolated to respect each other's humanity, before it's gone forever?

 

Good question. We will see.
One way or the other.

 

The ‘house divided’ has unfortunately been stoked by both foreign and domestic governments

Humans are closer to lizards than gods…that plus herd behavior…fairly easy to get an ‘us and them’ fear reaction…especially when there is minimal discourse about what we agree on.

That plus we don’t live all that long and don’t pass on wisdom very well…so current populations repeat history failures.

ok, now I’m depressed too

 

I don't know; the gods during the Trojan War seemed just as divided as the humans.
