Iraq had stockpiles of WMDs
Yeah that’s the part I never understood. They used them. They had them. And all these idiots were saying we lied - when instead they should have been asking where did they go? Who took them? Who has them?

It’s in this hemisphere so a team from South America will win it
My pick is Argentina.

The word is they wanted someone more aggressive than Alonso.
Whether that’s a mistake remains to be seen.

Every time I watch it I think the Algerian defender has a chance to get Donovan’s first touch which is a bit long. He even thought about it.

Why is it not possible to think Russia and China are resupplying them weapons covertly? if you think this isnt happening your really naive.
Of course they are. It’s just a question as to scale and quality. And with shipping closed it would be either what can come in from a plane from china ir what Russia can free up come their own war.
By no means would it come close to making up what they have already lost or shot/fired.

IRGC military capabilities have increased during ceasefire period, says spokesperson
Is this the Iraqi press minister all over again? What else would you expect them to say? That they are worse off?
I would find it difficult to believe if true. If nothing else they have lost a lot of supply due to firing it off and damage from us, we took out much of the manufacturing base, they have lost a lot of leadership. The only possibility is Russian and Chinese supplies of a scale it would be impossible for us to not know.
And frankly Russia has its hands full already.

Your “link” was a news story from two months ago (which you said was last week) about oil sanctions being removed which has no bearing on the current blockade which is what is currently occurring.
Please refrain from clogging this thread up with petty squabbles if you are going to be disingenuous.

Anyone getting too caught up in the daily tit for tat is self reporting their own stupidity.
Ignore the noise and talking. It isn’t meant for you.

There’s no one in the back line who can consistently play a line breaking pass other than Ream. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. He could be exposed athletically but the other guys can be exposed with bad giveaways and being sloppy with the ball.
Problem is even ream had a few giveaways.

Our offensive movement is light years better than under Greg.
Our possesion, particularly by the back 3 is abysmal. So many giveaways.
Clean that up and we may be dangerous.
Biggest thing - guys were working hard and seemed to be having fun. Could have scored a couple of more. Concern - pretty much every defender had a few bad passes or giveaways.

It could easily be 2-2 if Senegal were clinical.
Have to be encouraged by our offense but defense looks susceptible in several ways.

Yep. The question is what is he stalling for?
Trumps optic problem is his grandiose hyperbolic statements don’t work well with stalling.

Modern day knock out win by 2026 would you have believed me?
I thought for sure we would have a couple QF and maybe one of them to a semi appearance in the next 20 years.
Not really feeling like this is our year either.

All of those are enjoyable.
But I would share the feeling I get with every crouch book -
The concept is great or excellent. The set up is as well. The execution goes in a different direction that I was getting pulled and I’m left both a little disappointed in where it went and a little happy that the journey went different that in was thinking.
To put it more clearly - his ideas are great and there are many directions he would go with the stories but I feel like the path they take, while good, was not one of the better potential paths. Almost like he has 10 steps to take and knows where it ends - steps 1-6 are great. But steps 7-9 aren’t. Step 10 is then great.

Official US/Israel vs Iran war threadby TroutGuyMy take is Trump just wants to lower gas prices and put the war on ice until the midterms. I expect we will only know his real Iran plans after those.
I think it’s a balance.
How to achieve what we want to achieve but with some specific limits on consequences (us troop lives, oil price, attacks on regional partners) Maybe it works maybe it doesn’t.

think Trump has become content just laying a modern day siege which is interesting in its own right. Don't think we've seen something like this in a long time.
Definitely seems like the waiting for Iran to have money and resource issues, not able to pay for armies or militias etc. is the new current plan. All the stalling is on our part too.
My one hesitancy on that is we didn’t do enough to destroy their land routes during the bombing campaign. So was this a less planned shift in tactics based upon something else that didn’t happen?

Can only assume this is to make the IRGC leadership comfortable enough to do their pot luck watch party of the Iranian games which we can then bomb.
