Iran: the collapse

Ok.

But there were half a dozen US soldiers killed in Kuwait in the first day or so. So this raises serious questions about the planning. FFS the israeli-American forces Pearl Harboured the Iranians, not vice versa, they shouldn’t have been surprised by any of this. The Democrats should be Benghazi-ing the heck out of this.

The whole thing has been amateur hour.

 

No, the Big Lie was that Iraq posed a threat to anyone besides their own people because of them.

Sorry -- I posted before reading the thousands of other posts, LOL. Ne need to resurrect whatever argument was going on.

 

The Mad King.

 

That is known as "sources and methods" -- they are protected religiously.

 

A Kuwaiti military transport aircraft is coming back home after visiting Poland. I suspect they picked up some Ukrainian knick-knacks at the duty free.

 

We’re talking about a president who famously had to have his presidential daily briefs dumbed down to three bullets on a PowerPoint presentation because he was incapable of reading and understanding the PDB from our intelligence community.

we’re also talking about someone who has surrounded himself with the most incompetent and psychophantic (tm) cabinet in history.
There is zero chance Trump would ever be able to comprehend or understand a full briefing of the countless war gaming exercises we have completed that would have paid out all the risks…and that’s even assuming Hegseth would even allow him to see it.

This war is the result of this administration’s war on expertise…on any subject matter.

 

Sadly, we can't even rely on either Republicans or his Cabinet to get him out of office. But he has to go before he destroys the world further.

 

That Swedish extreem rightwinger gets proven right with his remark that "Trump is the opposite of king Midas, everything he touches turns to shit" with each minute that passes.

 

You didn't disprove it either with your mumbojumbo.

 

Interview with Iranian ambassador to the U.K. around 10 mins in here. For me he is a weak communicator, levels below Aragchi. He puts forward the main lines for the Iranian government but is not convincing when he makes his points.

 

I was talking about the Iranian ambassador being a weak communicator. He makes the points his government wants to make, but makes them unconvincingly. I don’t know if he is a political hire or a career diplomat, but making a public case in the English language is not his strength.

Trump is a great communicator to the masses. He is just a mediocre thinker. He is not stupid, he is something way more dangerous. Average intelligence but thinks he is a genius.

I don’t know if it was here that someone was comparing Trump with the late Ayatollah and saying the Ayatollah’s main skill was reading the Quran, but Khamenei was very erudite and his favourite fiction book was Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables. Trump has probably only read the Art Of The Deal and Mein Kampf.

Aragchi is a great communicator and also highly strategic. I have been very impressed with him throughout.

 

There's a missing ring conspiracy now

The revolution was masterminded by the southern wealthy planter class and the northern mercantilists to defend their position of power in colonial society from an effort to take more central control of colonies accustomed to home rule, risking the business structures they had built up.

There's a non-silly argument to be made.

 

He's Pol Pot on a bigger scale, but just warming up.

 

nah….just Putin….but way dumber and surrounded by people way dumber than Putin surrounds himself with.

 

Fascism is not a synonym for bad

Yes it is a silly argument

 

Hail Grimes!!!
