The fact that world leaders in the middle of a war are threatening eachother throught twitter like some run of the mill internet drama is so fucking gay, imagine that but for ancient wars, Genghis Khan burns an entire kingdom because he got called a faggot on the replies.
Leaders sent each other correspondence as far back as 3000 BC. We just have the benefit of seeing as plebs in real time on twitter now.
 
Is there anyone that is running to primary him yet?
Problem is, what reason is there for Republicans to primary him for? Remember outside of this forum, anti-interventionism is a very minority position in the GOP. On every other issue he's basically in lockstep with the voters and much of the MAGA faction.
 
A new sport should be all the rage. Invented by a police officer during a shitlib uprising in Philadelphia, it is demonstrated in the first part of this video:

From simple beginnings, Antifa tossing will become more sophisticated with various augmentations, such as tossing neolibs over barbed wire barriers and into dumpsters, open manholes, et cetera.
Please let this be real, but the toss feels AI. Dude had no mass, no way he was thrown that hard if he did.

The vietnam war bullshit is absolutely true though and drives me crazy, some old quora posts are fucking laughable.
Vietnam movies has ruined most people's idea about the war, which is ironic seeing how Reddit is all about Media literacy and historical literacy. We lost sure, but only due to politics, which is similar to Afghanistan. When it comes to our military, we won almost every fight in the war, and even the North Vietnamese agree. North Vietnam later came out and said if the war had lasted some more time, they would've given up, but America pulled out first. If it wasn't for the Anti-War movement of hippie boomers, Nixon would've wanted to stay. It's weird how Vietnam is seen as this bad war (which it was,) but wars more bloody like Korea are glamorized and respected.

Something similar happened with Afghanistan and Iraq. In open combat, America defeated both the Taliban and Iraqi forces easily, but politics back home and how the wars were super unpopular made us leave the Middle East. You didn't think Obama wanted to continue the war even more?

I wouldn’t say that because he has implied multiple times and even some times voted against stuff Trump wanted, most recently with trump’s budget bill. If he does vote against it you have a reason to primary him, and the anti-intervention side of the party is much larger than you think it is in regards to voters.
 
Can't they just make a massive solar farm or would that be considered homosexual by Allah?
It's been said but not explained -- solar is horribly inefficient, even in desert/high sun conditions. The panels aren't very efficient at converting sunlight into electricity, plus they need constant maintenance (especially in the desert -- sand builds up quickly and it blocks sunlight, high winds can throw debris fast enough to damage or destroy panels, and power cables & supporting equipment deteriorate over time and need maintenance).

In limited circumstances (like a big box store covering their roof with panels) it can break even, but the big installations never return (in electrical power) what's put into them (in construction and maintenance costs).
