Khanna compared going on Piker to going on Rogan.

I think it’s silly and dishonest to compare the two.

These people are willing to blow everything up—how can you beat that?

Do to them what we did to Japan in WW2.

They went from a feudal, militaristic culture that committed seppuku and kamikaze strikes and worshiped a divine emperor to well behaved pacifists with a controlled figurehead.

But we're not willing to do that because we're not willing to withstand the impact on the economy and our comfortable lives and we're not willing to withstand all the bloodshed, theres and especially ours.

Kharg Island takeover would result in a lot of dead Iranians and Americans and it would jolt the economy like a right hook to the head.

It would draw us further into this war. Again, to what end? Unless you're willing to have massive escalation, why?

Or...

Leave and declare victory without accomplishing any of our strategic objectives and emboldening Iran and its terrorist allies.


I suspect we will do this.

This is how it was always going to be without going all in...meaning massive troops on the ground and lots of bloodshed...which holds an uncertain outcome in an uncertain length of time and the American people would never support.

Some people got in Trump's ear and sold him a false bag of goods. And he bought it.

LOLOLOL

That is classic Saul Alinsky writing and reporting, right there.

lol

I thought Cuba was next?

I guess it’s Cuba then Turkey.

Think we can convince the Kurds one more time that we’re their allies?

This is from The Moscow Times, a very anti Putin Russian site…

Russia’s largest lender, Sberbank, said Friday that it experienced a temporary disruption to its services, as customers of other major banks like VTB and T-Bank reported similar outages. Sberbank customers began reporting issues with making payments and transferring money around 10 a.m. Moscow time. Some also struggled to withdraw cash from ATMs and access the bank’s mobile app, according to monitoring services Downdetector and Sboy.rf. By noon, Sberbank said it had restored all services after earlier acknowledging that “some” customers were experiencing difficulties. The outages come amid an uptick in government-imposed internet restrictions, including measures targeting WhatsApp and Telegram.

Data from Downdetector showed reports of outages spiking across Russia’s banking sector for roughly two hours on Friday morning. The Central Bank’s National Payment Card System (NSPK) said the outage was caused by a “technical failure at one of the banks,” adding that its own systems were operating normally. “This situation has no impact on the safety of funds,” NSPK said. The system oversees Russia’s Fast Payment System, an instant interbank transfer service using phone numbers and QR codes, which was also affected by Friday’s outages.

Another article from them…

People across Russia began reporting problems accessing Telegram over the weekend, raising speculation among tech industry experts that the government may have already moved to block the messaging app ahead of an anticipated crackdown next month. Russia’s Main Radio Frequency Center, an agency of the media regulator Roskomnadzor, said at least one-third of outage complaints that began emerging around Saturday came from Moscow, followed by St. Petersburg and several other cities across the country’s 11 time zones.

According to Le Monde and the Telegraph.

France has been rewarded.





And if you don't think Europe will sell us out in any future conflict or challenge with China you are high on glue. They will choose China over us... in a second.

We need to get out of NATO.

Now.

These European douchebags are not our allies.

They just want us to spend our money to protect them so they don't have to spend their money.

I have no issue with firing or replacing generals. They serve at the pleasure of the President and many Presidents have fired and replaced them.

I would have fired every Biden appointee.

Maybe this guy dropped the ball on Iran. Or maybe he wasn't a team player. But the Telegraph is reporting that he was committed to running the military under Biden policies, including DEI.
