It's nice to have one prominent anti-war voice not sucking off The Don.

You also post about him several times a week. He jilt you at the altar, or something?

Exactly.
It doesn't matter if the new Bond is a woke choice or not. This age of western civilization is wrong for the character. What made it special will not be allowed out of a Hollywood studio, regardless of who's cast. It will be another self-loathing, "complex" Bond who's potentially more a villain than the villain. Modern hollywood abhors a hero or a masculine rogue and if you actually like the Bond legacy, what's the point of a "modern Bond"?

We are going to have to wipe them all out or enough of them for the Persians to take the country back.


Who are "the Persians" and why are they suddenly going to "take the country back"?

We're either going to agree to some bullshite deal that takes us right back to square one with Iran or Trump is going to fully commit to the war he started. If he does that, it means troops and deaths and maybe even a draft. And if that happens, yeah. The GOP is cooked for life and what's left of Trump's legacy is toast. Third option is throwing money and weapons at some "freedom fighters" who - per usual - will soon show up with them here killing our citizens.

This war was a HUGE mistake. Some of you are starting to realize it, it seems.
His legacy will be another war and a lot of talking. That's it.
They own our industry, our ag markets are dependent on them and they're buying up our food industry and land a little bit at a time. They're undercutting what innovation we have left through constant theft and cheating the market.

There's no "for now". That's just a bunch of spin to soften Trump's obvious capitulation. We've lost that war and we did it for greed. They played us easily and won. Trump's ego was the last barrier and he needed to get re-elected to "win". We lost.

How many do you think we're arming and funding to "bring freedom to the people" this time?

They don't abide freedom, either. They also like to force people into slave labor camps. Sound good?

And given the coming AI super weapons, ‘Globalism’ meaning that it will be compromise of competing and polar ideologies (Capitalism v Communism) or ‘Nationalist’ suicide. Pick your poison.


It's pretty simple to me, bud. "We the People." The reason we are in this mess is we swapped people with profit.

Amazing how rapidly Trump worshipers have transformed into globalist neo-con warmongers.

This is why it's always the issues and NEVER the man.
That election win came with a big price tag.

Trump is full of it.
Short version: he opposed more spending.
So big American corporate can continue to rely on offshore communist slave labor, China can continue to subsidize soybeans and expand operations into our country, the 4D-chess Hormuz blockage appears out of fashion and they'll buy some oil from us.

Doesn't look terribly ground-breaking, but ok.

the U.S. failed to achieve its strategic objective


And this is the crux of criticism with this current Iran bullshite. It they remain an "imminent" nuclear threat as the current spin indicates, then ground troops and the draft are necessarily on the table. Either that, or we start firing off nukes ourselves. Instead, we're playing goofy stratego. Doesn't seem so "imminent".

it has some creativity, but it's not a great piece of film or anything.


No, but it's a really effective example of full use of media to achieve an effect. The visuals, action and music play almost as well together as in Blade Runner and doesn't eat up its outlandish story with a bunch of excessive plot. It just is what it is. Connery and Brown just lend the needed swagger.

(And I worry about the new one landing the Kurgan part, which was primary to the original. Brown was both menacing and comically entertaining... not an easy duo to pull off. If Bautista has anything approaching those chops, I haven't seen it to date.)
Every time the moronic left does this sort of thing, they create a new extremist out of someone. Ultimately, the powerful want that... but I'm not sure the bleeding hearts who think they're doing something righteous understand what they're helping to create with their selective indignity.

Again, it depends on turnout. The left will turnout their voters. The right's die hard block is shrinking. After this war, it will be very interesting to see how many of the independents that gave Trump his two official victories show up... and for who.

I think I disagree 100% with every point made here.


Rubio is a neo-con who was best known for stabbing the tea party in the back prior to jumping on Trump's jock. Running him would be likely as effective as Mitt Romney candidacy. Vance? I don't have a strong feeling on him. He's been muzzled, it seems, so short of distancing himself from this war, I don't see the road to him distinguishing himself.

The only chance at victory post-Trump is someone who can convince independents to trust the GOP and right now that's going to be a very tough sell. Rubio isn't it. The GOP die hards may rally around him and he may fundraise well, but he wouldn't turn out the vote.
