He also, thanks to Bibi and Donald, has the rhyme of Karbala around him, as an avenging son.
Seeing a lot of secular hot takes and frankly a stunning lack of basic literacy about why there is a schism between Sunnis and Shia, to the point of missing quite what happened on Feb 28th, ontologically.
“Clearly this mushroom cloud is AI!”
Missed the obvious follow up: “so the President was wrong then or now?”
And it doesn’t remove the mines in the Strait, and they’ve got a lot of mines and a lot of swift boats to lay them.
You actually turned up to any town halls? Communicated directly to them via phone, email or in person? Made it clear what your red lines of support are?
The interests you dislike do. They don’t go on social media. They go rep to rep, candidate to candidate. Because it’s effective.
And his son.
And said Ayatollah was a Sayyid. Given Karbala’s centrality to Shia Islam, re-enacting the schismatic event by literally killing the bloodline of the Prophet…
There is no off ramp. This is jihad. It ends in fire and judgment, they aren’t listening, they won’t, they’re going all out.
Well, when your entire strategy can be summed up as "let's decapitate a theocracy and see if they surrender”, and in effect you turned a nepobaby into Paul Atreides, err, yeah, doesn’t really come with a timeline.
You think someone has explained what a blood feud is to him yet? The whole ‘you killed the new Ayatollahs family. Remember how upset John Wick was about his dog? Yeah, imagine that, but with religious fervor and nukes. Would really suck if you’d talked shit, right?”
I do wonder how much you’ve cost him.
Probably should send him $20 or something, that should cover it.
It is obscene, but it’s also true.
Fuck you, I got mine is the real American motto. If it wasn’t, we would not be here.
Counter point: American Revolution, Agincourt & the Spanish Armada.
Having exquisite expensive forces can be used against you by those who have low op costs.
If the response to a $50k Shahed is a $4M PAC3, you’re bleeding. Tactical success, strategic failure.
If you’re the IRGC, with personnel in DUMBs beyond our bombs, with backfilled entrances, with a lot of fissile material, decades of technical plans of building highly effective nuclear devices, how do you interpret this?
A dare?
We have anti-intelligence instead.
And Bibi made sure there was no off ramp this time by escalating to blood feud from the first bomb.
Trump thought it was a shakedown operation, MBS bought the sadism. Bibi knew better.
Ruh-roh Bibi
The MBAs optimized the down chain from the Primes to maximize shareholder buybacks and dividends, not production.
Good luck unwinding that in real time, Donald.
“I’m not here to answer your questions.” - you, a few minutes ago.
And I’m asking you, since you put your rude tiny fingers to the keys, to either be civil or elucidate. You seem incapable of doing either or advocating in the positive for your preferred.
Yet you call others trolls?
Not answering your own emphatic again. You made the claim, you should be able to articulate why YOU believe that, without insulting anyone, you halfwit.
But you’re really doing a GREAT job of selling your preferred.
They’re asking for you to back your claim with substance. You made an emphatic, you should be able to articulate it, calling others names is pretty much a contemptible way to comport yourself. Get the feeling you do that a lot.
Sorry, was trying to reboot Reality, turns out it just rebooted BlueSky instead.
We’ve entered dumbception.
Wonder if he spoke to the Afghan government like this, when he wa advising.
It would explain a lot.
Lockmart: “We appreciate your money, please hold the line for 5-10 years and we will endeavor to provide you with one container full of interceptors.”
Hope it goes better than his advice to the Afghan government.
That off ramp disappeared with the entire bloodline of the former Ayatollah.
Take it up with MBS, guys.
Not shocked, at all.
Despite many conflicts an many decades of evidence to the contrary.
Have they?
They’ve been quiet, but that’s not the same as not their problem.
He invoked Greater Israel in the context of the promise to Abraham.
Is that the point you missed? Did you read his comments in full?
It is, but denying there are a number of heretics who think God needs a helping hand is directly disingenuous.
They aren’t numerous, but they are people like the Ambassador to Israel talking about Greater Israel. Minimizing that ontology is how they ply their trade.
