In which we yet again post yet another ten thousand plus interesting or amusing -or neither- tweets

Of those three, we did not win any. Korea was a stalemate.

 

The idea that Ted was the only good one occurs to me occasionally and makes me feel a bit sick.

 

Sure we did. Our objective was to prevent a North Korean take over of South Korea.

Let’s put it this way…if Russia goes back to its pre 2022 borders, would you say Ukraine won the war? To me, the answer is yes. To you, the answer would be no, I guess because in that hypothetical Ukraine didn’t march in Moscow.

If Iran’s government survives, would that mean Iran won this war? To me, yes. To you, the answer would be it’s a stalemate because Iran didn’t conquer Jerusalem.

 

I'm just going to let you believe that. If you were in college and that question was on a history exam and you answered "Sure we did" you'd get an F -- with your reasoning, a generous professor might give you a D.

 

I was in Korea 2 years ago visiting my regional office. They took me to see the DMZ. They don't believe we won. They believe we lost.

 

??? Who was it that drove US forces back from the northern border of North Korea?

Hint-- it wasn't the North Koreans...nor did they meaningfully invade South Korean territory again.

The borders are essentially the same at present as they were at US entry to the war-- so while it wasn't total victory, it also was not a defeat. Stalemate.

Since the concept of "balance of power" came into being post-Renaissance, total victories have been a bit uncommon-- anybody who is approaching one usually has someone else intercede to prevent it.

 

As luck would have it, I actually took a class on American military history that covered the Korean War. I got an A or A- in that class.

 

Maybe I’m being too Clausewitzian, but we achieved our political objectives in the Korean War. We are really going down a rabbit hole here, but there’s a reason Truman sacked McArthur.

 

Is it a war? Is the cat in the box dead or alive?

🚨 Speaker Johnson just said both things out loud in the same breath:

“Iran declared war on us.”

“We’re not at war right now.”

Four days in. Six soldiers dead. Bases destroyed. A consulate struck. CIA arming militias for regime change.

But it’s not a war.

It’s “Operation… pic.twitter.com/mOIWeLbGS9

Just to point out how disfunctional this administration is:

I just wanna thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing me to win the (insert big award here). Without my faith in Jesus, I don't feel like I would have played to my potential.

It was truly surreal watching the Olympics. People actually won without the performative crap.

 

A stalemate is what I called it. No argument with that.

 

This is probably fake, but it is still funny, so I am going to believe it's real.

This isn't dysfunctional for this administration, it's SOP.

 

Tonight's late-night shows are gonna be absolute bonkers.

Sidenote: It absolutely sucks that Peacock didn't put Jimmy Fallon up at 8pm and Seth Meyers up at 9pm, as was the plan at one point. I can totally understand why, although it still stinks for the viewer.

 

I’m interpreting the various “+100” in this video as something seen innvideo games like Call of Duty and so forth. Am I wrong? Because if I’m not, the official White House Twitter account is making war seem like a mere video game.

With friends like this who needs enemies?

Anonymous X users are reporting their full names are being Googled in Israel after they criticized its war crimes.

Many link it to X's use of Au10tix ID verification software - an Israeli company founded and staffed by "ex"-Israeli spies.
