Right, but the Israeli government just politely ignores all that. Their attitude is "hey, we don't believe any of that weird bullshit is gonna happen, but if you're giving us more shipments of advanced weapons, go ahead and believe whatever you want" and it's worked out pretty well for them

Wait, seriously?! I would expect any maga guy with gulf experience and an oil boner to know about that. Hell, I would assume they had their honeymoon there

The new US Foreign Policy Heuristic I will be using moving forward and encouraging the further adoption thereof.

Serious eyebrow deficiency too

To my back east peeps: hope you guys like wildfire smoke because we're sending you a bunch this summer

Literally. I saw this movie on VCR at a friend's house when I was in 6th grade and the toxic waste man gave me nightmares for like a week

Reposting this thread from a couple years back lamenting the stupid leaders the people of MENA are at the mercy of. This was written before the famine in Gaza and the bloodstains in El Fasher visible from space and the Trump/Hegseth shitshow but I think it holds up

"so successful" Jesus Christ that dude is certifiable. I'm assuming it's basically a verbal tic with him at this point but "we had an exit strategy but then I blew it up by accident and now we're screwed, but in a good way" is something I hadn't thought of before

(The other problem being that the people running the military are corrupt murderous pedophiles)

We have the same problem as the Russian military now: led by doofuses who think pushups are the key to military excellence

I suspect the maga purge of the officer corps means the current brass don't want to anger the boss and maybe are too dumb to know any better. My understanding is that whenever GW Bush would muse about Iran a bunch of generals would show up and tell him what would happen to our bases

They're firing rockets at Israel

Good rule of thumb for life in general, but particularly for the US Senate at a time when fascism is threatening to swamp us

The Tracy McGrady/Vince Carter of the Jedi

Israel's systematic attempts to kill the entire Iranian opposition leadership in Iran is indicative of what (some) of us have been saying— Israel doesn't not want to turn the IRI into a democratic republican state, it wants there to be no state. It wants a rubble-state, Gaza or Yemen or worse.

I'm guessing Nuremberg 2 needs to include like half of Silicon Valley

Bingo

So, is the AI just doing a bunch of Apu/Charlie Chan/Mr. Miyagi impressions for various Asian languages? Wtf man

Given that Trump was up recording weird videos about Iran at 3 AM or whatever and has since then no doubt been running on adrenaline and unkown amounts of speed watching the war play out on his TV screen, there's a nonzero chance that today's the day it happens

Honestly I'd be surprised if the US isn't trying out some version of the Israeli AI targeting programs, and is just as careless about finding out whether the targets are legit or not

She's running

My 4 year old was asking about operation names and he came up with a hypothetical "Operation Big Explosion And Attack Darth Vader With Laser Guns" which is a lot cooler than what Hegseth or Stephen Miller or whoever came up with for Iran

The attack on Venezuela was 8 weeks ago. These assholes like starting a new war every 2 months

"Lack appropriate medical care" yeah man I heard their hospitals are in rough shape and a lot of medical personnel died I wonder what happened there

Yeah but are you really out of the Pentagon press corps if you're accidentally included in all of their Signal chats?

Great news, men! By eating liver (and a truckload of steroids) you can look as sexy and well adjusted as this dude!

Not gonna lie, if "How to Smuggle Drugs" had been in the course catalog I totally would have taken that as an elective

Plot twist; the dog is actually alive and well, Noem just made the whole thing up to impress in the interview

This is the funniest shit. I could totally see his coworkers thinking "well somebody must have given permission" or just being too busy to notice or not caring because like 50 State people met with PLO guys on their own initiative on a backpacking trip or Peace Corps or something
