A Republic, If You Can Keep It

[Limey (Ray Ward)]

This is why that Hirohito post was so good.

[Limey (Ray Ward)]

Because China is our close ally?

He really does run the country like his business.

We’re not at war with the player, we’re at war with the game.

Pretty sure he didn’t think that one all the way through

[austro (Mark)]

Why start now?

[Lefty]

Here’s his Administration on the news shows this morning:

VANCE: “Our view has been very clear that we don’t want a regime change.”

HEGSETH: “This mission was not and has not been about regime change.”

RUBIO: Regime change is “certainly not the goal of what we’re working on here.”

Don’t worry, they’ll claim they never said those things and the MAGATs will believe it’s just a Socialist plot.

Why wouldn’t we be able to Make Breakfast Great Again?

MIGAS!

[Lefty]

I’d settle for chilaquiles

[Matt]

Well you just gave me my quest for this week.

Iran had a democratic, non-theocratic government. We - being the west (mostly the UK and US) - toppled that government and installed a hand picked dictator.

Turns out he was an utter bastard (who knew?) and he drove the country into the arms of the Islamic theocracy where it has been mired ever since.

Not only did we not get everything we went after, it now seems that we didn’t go after everything there was to get.

Apparently there’s another underground bunker with enriched uranium stored called Pickax Mountain, and it’s deeper than Fordo.

So Trump didn’t have any intention of removing completely the Iranian nuclear program. He went for what he thought he could get and then fell short of even that.

He’s being “advised” by Fox News pundits he installed in his cabinet. None of them have the capacity for strategic thought. Everything is shortsighted.

[Lefty]

I know Iran can close it off, but can they keep the Strait of Hormuz closed?

[Limey (Ray Ward)]

I’m assuming that Iran has long range anti-ship missiles, and super tankers aren’t particularly maneuverable.

[Limey (Ray Ward)]

So now we’re finding out that they just bombed a bunch of shit for the sake of bombing, with no idea where the uranium stockpiles were.

Officials Concede They Don’t Know the Fate of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile

I mean, with Trump you know it’s going to be half-assed at best. But this was no assed…and they’re telling us it’s J-Lo.

[Lefty]

Years ago they had the “Silkworm” Chinese shore to ship missiles there, I assume they’ve gotten better since then, and so have our defenses.
