Argentina was the destination of choice on those ratlines ODESSA ran for escaping Nazis.

Qualifications? That's so Obama.

They'd be absolutely flummoxed by a game of "Risk."

"In a recent 60 Minutes interview, the Israeli prime minister insisted it was misleading to say he had forced Trump into war. Both he and Trump jointly weighed the risks, but he admitted the problem of the Hormuz strait became understood as the war went on'."

This was an astonishing admission. Fatih Birol, the chief executive of the International Energy Agency, recently disclosed that in job interviews at the IEA, after asking candidates why they are applying for a job at the IEA, the second is: "What would you do if the strait of Hormuz was closed?" It was a commonplace doomsday scenario, yet the US had to improvise a response.

Equally few in the Pentagon foresaw the extent to which Iran would resort to "triangular coercion" " the attack on oil and gas facilities of the Gulf states, as well as exposed US bases.

International relations literature claims this is a relatively unstudied phenomenon whereby "a coercer who lacks direct leverage over a resilient target coerces a third party who does possess leverage over the target, and to whom the target is vulnerable, and manipulates it into a clash of interests with the target".

In short, the war might not influence the US itself, but it might get to those that could. It was the alliance of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Egypt and Pakistan that last weekend foreclosed Trump's return to conflict. They can now hold the reins in the Middle East, and it will be the relationship they can forge with Iran, independent of the US, that matters.

Whiney, lewzer MAGAts attacking someone else's "manhood"? In the land of irony, perspective provides the laughs.

More.

Why not equal time for Horst Wessel?

If wishes were horses, Trump could "plan" something other than a complete effup. If, as I say, wishes were horses. But they aren't, and he just can't.

Good on them boyos, making do, being resilient, sussing the situation out.

Why do facts scare you so?

"There are not enough Indians in the World to defeat the Seventh Cavalry."

(Who found out differently 150 years ago this month)

"Lethality is really what the army is all about, so we're here to learn things about the best competitors in the army, about the platforms and how to display combat excellence in this environment," he [Col. Justin Harper] told Stars and Stripes military news organisation, echoing the bellicose language of the US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth.

Oh, for ------s sake.

Three big takeaways for the Iranian regime from Trump's War:
(1) Seldom will an adversary just hand you the deck, trust your elaborate shuffle and then bleat: "Name the game and the rules." But should that occur, squeeze that opportunity for everything you've got.
(2) The nukes are gold - go for it, the fast and dirtier the better.
(3) Despite the way he sounds, appears, and behaves, Donald Trump may have some life left in him yet. Pray the Americans are saddled with him full term.

Islamic Republic has never been willing to trade its revolutionary principles for prosperity [Sadjadpour argues]. As recently as May 26, Mojtaba Khamenei used the hajj"Islam's most universal gathering"as an occasion to warn that the "terrorist" U.S. military was no longer safe in the Middle East, and that the "cancerous tumor of Israel" would soon experience the "final days of their wretched existence." And the Trump administration appears to have little illusion about Iran's priorities. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a recent state visit in India that "Iran would rather invest in the rapists and murderers of Hamas" than in its own people."

Beyond parody.

The value of ODESSA's influential Argentinian ties may have lessened over time, but, as Thiel demonstrates, the old rat lines to an "understanding" environment for horrid people remain largely intact.

Thanks, I read more into your account than you'd claimed.

"According to prosecutors, Castro fired through a home's front door and shot [Julio] Sosa-Celis in the thigh after Castro and another officer chased a different man, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, to the Minneapolis apartment duplex where he and Sosa-Celis lived. Sosa-Celis and Aljorna were legally residing in the US, Moriarty said.

No other nation has ever dealt such a monumental strategic defeat to the United States of America in so little time as Iran as done via Trump's War.

Why do you assume weed had anything to do with those two episodes three months apart? Weed and no-weed can't be the only variable at play.

Well, he'll be a long time looking.

Misogyny isn't a bug in MAGALandia; it's as essential a component as ignorance, racialism, and violence.

The bloated, judicially condemned felon and sexual anbuser also declares himself Jesus and smart, so there's that.
