I think its pretty clear that it's de-escalating now. The Trump admin has repeatably stated the strike was only to crush the Iranian nuclear weapons program. Even going as far as to state that the goal was not regime change.

other than saber -rattling the Iranians have not done much in response, nor have their proxies. I think it likely that they will make a show out of a response by striking something, but not a target that would draw out further US attacks.

If you recall they did this after Trump killed Soleimani. they struck a US base but targeted only hangers and old buildings along with projecting their attack hours before to minimize US causalities.

this type of response allows the Iranian government to save face, while also demonstrating that they want to take a off-ramp from further escalation.
 
From the Wayne MI church shooting, looks like the deacon ran over the faggot before he could get inside, which is why you hear the burst fire a few times. Deacon runs over the guy, security shoots him.

Christians use the Truck of Peace for actual good.
As the saying goes, "To fuck around is human, to find out is divine".
 
I don't see why they would institute a draft, even in the event of a attack we have more then enough good meat to throw in the grinder lol
I feel like you've missed the last four years of the military failing to meet recruiting goals.

If boots hit the ground, there will be a draft because nobody will be willing to volunteer in a war that is very clearly entirely about jewish supremacy and not much else.

Remember, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction too...until they didn't.

Don't fall for the jewish tricks and think that our intelligence community got it wrong while Mossad got it right.
 
Democracy has failed, the collapse of America is inevitable and rapidly approaching
just to think about somthing kinda funny, there is like a SUPER good chance in like 100-500 years or whatever their might be like "democracy fans" that get looked at by the general public like we look at communists now

"No you don't understand REAL democracy has never been tried, its birthplace only allowed white land owning males to participate! The fallen empires in Europe remolded into democracy's were short lived!, the USA was born in slavery we have never tried TRUE DEMOCRACY"

"Shut up carl, no one cares about your failed political ideology, its failed in EVERY NATION ITS BEEN TRIED IN"
 
I genuinely do not understand the utilization of these bots by both sides at this point. its so transparent and easily found.
Multi-media propagation in the modern social media space. It's basic propaganda, and I'm not even using that as a bad or malicious thing. It's what you have to do if you're running any kind of campaign or response in order to have the most impact.

“I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of wars in the Middle East. I understand the concern. But the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents."

"...over the coming years."

There is 20 years worth of vets in the reserve system. Those would be called up first and would likely be enough. It'd be political suicide of course.

A draft would legit cause nationwide riots a la the New York draft riots during the US civil war.

I’m talking about the millennium of peace between the crusades and now, where Muslims, Christians and a handful of Jews all lived in peace.

Before borders were artificially drawn, and invading Askenazi Jews from Europe blew up the region, leading to five wars and a displaced population that’s is a security and stability problem region wide.

Nice try but we’re talking about modern times, not the crusades or the Romans or Phoenician or whatever.
This is an oversimplification. Even Ottoman Syria (actually meaning the entire Western Levant, since to both the Arabs and Turks of that time, the whole region was 'Syria' or Al-Sham) was actually a rather unstable place, with much power devolved to feudal emirs (not all of whom were Muslim, especially in what we now know as Lebanon) that the Sultan relied on to keep the peace & collect taxes in the countryside while the actual Ottoman governors mostly governed only in the cities. These emirs fought each other with surprising frequency for a region always shown as firmly Ottoman on maps (sectarian & tribal tensions built upon personal animosities & disputes over territory/wealth between the emirs) and were fiercely possessive of their autonomy, some even dared try to push for independence from the Turks in the 17th century with support from Catholic kingdoms (in that case, Medici-ruled Tuscany, but it didn't end well since the Ottomans had not become the Sick Man of Europe yet).

As another example of pre-WW1 sectarian turmoil in Ottoman Syria, the French first established influence in Lebanon before the first Zionist settlers could've arrived or were even born because historically good Druze-Christian relations broke down in the 19th century and the former had a mass nigger moment aimed squarely at the latter (further backed by the Turkish authorities who were hoping to take the increasingly prosperous Christians down a peg), giving Napoleon III a humanitarian excuse to go in while the buckbroken Sick Man of Europe couldn't do much about it. Most of the actual fighting happened in Lebanon, but the biggest massacre was a Sunni Muslim/Druze teamup against Christians living in Damascus, directly precipitating the French intervention.

In the case of the territories of modern-day Israel/Palestine specifically, that region was a feudal-tribal backwater for almost the entire time under Ottoman rule, with all the poverty and troubles that that implies. Jerusalem itself had a comically tiny population for a city (though back then it could, at best, be classified as a modest town) everyone & their mother thought was worth fighting & dying over, as low as 8k people at the start of the 19th century and not exceeding 50k until after WW1.
 
I had to double-check that Barron Trump account. It's not actually him, but it is verified. What a stupid fucking platform.
Probably tagged with "Parody Account"? Idk why even THAT's allowed, but even putting all of that aside, idt it should be allowed to "ironically" impersonate the President's son just so you can run an epic heckin right wing meme account.

There may come a day when you are better off genuinely not using the internet, and anything you see or read is a concerted propaganda campaign to deceive you. We aren't there yet, but we seem to be getting there.
 
That doesn't really sound like a Glock w/ a switch, it sounded like an AK. Might be an FRT, but could have been a select-fire.
Sounds like a higher cyclic rate than an AK, like an overgassed AR15. Would be the more likely candidate based on prevalence.

Here's my take: WW3 concern is besides the point. There should not have even been a single bomb sent there.

How much did that bombing run cost? Could we not have pulled another option, like pulling some guys from the "Tracking edgy memes" division to run a hack ontheir shit? Or, much better, get our "allies" to do this instead? Like the one that we have given billions to in weapons and aid, for this exact reason?

Why do we need to wipe out the deficit advantage we got from DOGE on more bombs for the third world? That's the part I am stuck on, especially the killing of jobcorp. I knew people personally that were going into jobcorp for welding. The program sounded bad with a 30% graduation rate, but considering that those graduates were going into highly relevant jobs their employment rate was actually better than any college you could think of. 100,000 a student? You take the taxation on a journeyman welder for ten years, that program has already paid for itself even with dead weight. But it had problems. Has trump replaced that program with something else that works better? Nope, more money to bomb middle east sorry.

People wanted two things from his presidency: Fix the economy and get out of bullshit wars. The former he has put in the tariff protections and removed the illegal labor clogging the field, but hasn't delivered on any form of incentive or training to kickstart it. Now he just has the latter, but is putting it all in Jeopardy by joining in on Iran.

The middle east war was barely held aloft vack in the 2000's, but after the reveal of no WMD's and watching the effort put there crumple like wet cardboard the second we leave has made it overwhelmingly unpopular. This is probably the most pro-trump place I visit, and even here I see people saying they would shoot their commander before the enemy. Palestine was so unpopular you had muslims and other shitskins violating programming and voting for trump (or at least not for dems) in droves, and now he wants to shoot himself in the leg like this?
