Impossible!

Impossible I say!

Trump solved this!

He just got the Totally-Not-Made-Up FIFA Peace Prize for it!

Trump is the neediest of presidents that we've ever had. He's a toddler in a suit.

Send in Trump! Lol.

This would never happen if the decomposing orange pedo was POTUS.

The site seems to be having issues tonight.

I'm currently chalking it up to a late Saturday night maintenance...

Meanwhile, a fun video ...

Len - Steal My Sunshine (1999)
www.youtube.com

That video was filmed in Daytona Beach, FL., with a budget of $100k, from what I've read.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Laura casting spells.

If it came down to a war between Pakistan and Afghanistan, I'd say the Taliban would win. The Pakistani military is full of cowards when it gets right down to it.

Spin Buldak was a nice base to visit, I went there several times when I had soldiers stationed there. Chow Hall was pretty good.

Pakistan has nukes.

Afghanistan does not.

You really don't want Pakistan to feel existentially threatened by the Taliban. Pakistan is already unstable enough as it is.

#14 Well, thank the Good Lord that Major DEI Boazo isn't in the line of command anymore.

Whew!

#16 | Posted by A_Friend at 2025-12-07 12:55 PM

isn't in the line of command anymore.

Hey now, he can almost spell Spin Boldak.

#17 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-12-07 01:09 PM

This can be described as an ethnic conflict between Pashtuns (Afghanistan) and Punjabis (Pakistan). The Pakistanis have nukes and a modern air force, so the Afghans will engage in irregular warfare, honed by decades of experience. The Taliban fighters will score mass casualty events against the Pakistanis in the border regions. The Pakistanis are a proud people and do not want to suffer military humiliations with eternal nemesis India watching.

One of the groups to monitor in this mess is the powerful, drug smuggling Haqqani Network (HQN) who are Pashtuns and operate on both sides of the border, as well as Salafist groups within Pakistan who dislike the corruption of the Islamabad government, like the TTP or Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.

The Afghan Taliban can also reach out to the anti-Punjab Balochs to conduct attacks in southern Pakistan.

Bo@ss never did anything harder than holding a ------- clipboard. You're a pile of cowardly ----, you fake ass bitch.

Where's the ghost of ------ to pipe in? Maybe tell us about some super-duper hypersonic torpedo that will take out the Taliban?

#17 | Posted by REDIAL

Some of those who were actually there made the "o" a "u" in Boldak.

At least that's how I heard it anyway.

RCADE has to remember how to type as ------. Not easy with all the handles he has.

#22 | Posted by boaz at 2025-12-08 09:57 AM

#22 Major DEI Boazo = RCADE?

#23 | Posted by A_Friend at 2025-12-08 10:01 AM

Nah, Hans.

You know better.

And Qatar just realized they over bribed stinky by $399,999,999,985.

WHICH TURNIP TOOK MY NAME 3 TIMES???

There he is! LOL..

Long time no see ----.

Seriously, do you still have the solar panels on the top of your flat? Are they still working?

I did. Your point??

Your point??

You woke me from my slumber. And you're a turnip. That's my point.

#30 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-08 11:31 PM

Are they still working?

Splendidly.

#31 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-08 11:32 PM

As for the Afghans, they all died in a "drone swarm" attack we sent their way.

They all died. The problem is over. For now.

Observe.

#32 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-08 11:37 PM

But then Afghans breed like rats. They will be on us again, no doubt, trying something else.

The ones who died, their kids will join the taliban "army" day after tomorrow and rinse and repeat.

Their women have kids to replace the ones who died.. like every other day. Rats.

@#5 ... Do we dare say Monkeybars three times? ...

... and a trolling current alias appears, along with another.

Coincidence?

#34 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-12-08 11:57 PM

Life is a mystery, Dumbo Columbo.

#35 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-09 12:03 AM

Spin Buldak was a nice base to visit

We destroyed it.

You are welcome to visit it again.

I'd say the Taliban would win.

LOL

Perhaps not as much of a mystery as your current alias seeks to hide behind.

#37 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-12-09 12:55 AM

You got me, man.

Yes, I am RCADE. I like to larp as random people from around the world.

It's what I do.

#38 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-09 01:14 AM

@#38

Do try harder.

#39 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-12-09 01:40 AM

You think larping is easy? It's all I have left after my journalism got flushed.

You try it if you think it's easy.

#40 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-09 01:44 AM

It's all I have left after my journalism got flushed.

You lost your paper route?!

#41 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-12-09 01:46 AM

I didn't pay my fees at the Press Club and they tossed me out.

#42 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-09 01:50 AM

@#41 ... You lost your paper route?!...

Nah.

At this point, that current trolling alias just looks like it is trying to get replies and disrupt.

Gee, what other aliases have done that?

;)

#43 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-12-09 01:58 AM

Gee, what other aliases have done that?

Tosseur... Rigel.. J_Tremain... it's quite a list.

#44 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-12-09 02:02 AM

You forgot Poindexter and Aftermath....

#45 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-09 02:12 AM

@#44

Yep. Trolling.

So then the question seems to become, why the trolling?

A lame attempt to disrupt or deflect?

If so, why?

The presence and activity of those trolling aliases speaks volumes about what is discussed here on this most august site.

Stated differently, if the discussions on this site were not so good, then why would there seem to be the need to dispatch trolls to disrupt those discussions?

#46 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-12-09 02:26 AM

Consider it a cameo appearance.

#47 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-12-09 02:40 AM

@@47 ... Consider it a cameo appearance. ...

Oh, I do.

But I still have to ask ... for what purpose?

#48 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-12-09 02:56 AM

Nobody is trolling. I gave the info you people were lacking in this thread.

Having done what was my duty, I am only hanging around because someone took the trouble to say my name 3 times.

#49 | Posted by Monkeybars at 2025-12-09 02:58 AM
