Now that you mention that, it's going to make for an epic movie.

Assymetrical warfare conducted as a longterm campaign is probably a good place to start.

They did that.

Palestine turned into ----, Hezbollah got their dicks blown off by pagers, and Assad fled to Russia.

I doubt Colbert sets the budget...

Never said he did.

In 2026 though he can produce whatever he wants and there's a huge Internet waiting for him. Maybe he'll be equitable to his staff (doubt it). Think he'll premier on Bluesky or Twitter?

That's how crazy that show's budget is. With his estimated net worth of $75 million if he funded the show himself he'd be broke quickly into his second season.

Making yourself a corporate target definitely doesn't help matters.

An even worse idea than losing $60 million a year on a dying genre that's not suited to streaming.

Just wait till you find out how much the government loses to operate.
You'll be demanding Trump shut it down.

Trump loves deficits. Doesn't even want a cap.

jfc, losing $60 million a year to operate that show. People are out of their minds. Late Night TV is the oldsmobile of content.

An entertainment business that exists to sell advertisements is profit motivated? Didn't see that coming.

Play your word games all you want.

Calling a bunch of marines standing around a fed building an "occupation" is the word game. I'm just pointing out it's a stupid one not backed up by facts.

The Iraq we occupied with 1/3 of the troops needed to keep the county stable?

Per military theorists, it takes 20 troops per 1000 people for an occupation.

LA metro is 12.8 mil, so it would take 256,000 troops to occupy the LA metro area, about 21% of all active duty US personell.

Hurricanes are coming. Just wait and see how little happens then.

I hate to break it to you, but FEMA never did much to begin with.

They already have tariffs on cars, food, and aircraft parts.

"The Military Occupied LA"

You can tell who's never been to Iraq.

5.1 million for sirens lol. No.

Recent information available suggests that Joe Biden has not allocated $5.1 million specifically for sirens for Texas flooding.
Instead, Texas Governor Greg Abbott requested a major disaster declaration from the Biden administration following the catastrophic flooding that began on July 4th. This request included funding through the federal Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
However, the federal government had not approved this type of funding in months, and the status of this request is pending.

The Kerr County representative that voted against the bill with the siren system update, but for the bill that bought a bunch of drones, planes, ambulances, and boats is on record regretting his vote.

What Texas does is issue extensive studies on what systems areas should have. Implementing that system is up to the communities and usually done with a public-private partership. The most elaborate sensor and multi-siren sites run about a million bucks each before depreciation, maintenance, etc.

The river monitoring system is managed in a 3 way partnership between the river valley authority, funded by the authority's non-profit, in cooperation with a state agency and the USGS. It was last upgraded about 7 years ago with a grant from the USGS, which was matched and then exceeded by a donation from Pepsi & Frito Lay.

Really badly trained bot.

The difference in life or death was whether you checked your cell phone for the alerts. You didn't hear a siren in Kerr County, because they don't exist. There was a bill this year that would have paid for them, it was voted down by reps that included the one from Kerrville. They bought a bunch of disaster response equipment instead on a different bill.

It's totally Republicans fault that it flooded in a very rural flood plain.

Same way it's totally Democrats fault for there being fire in a fire plain.

Arrest the farm owners.

Nationalize the farms.
Force detained migrants to work the farms as slaves under the Thirteenth Amendment.

That's genius. We arrest the farmer, and make him farm his own farm with people from his cell block. We have to do something, Trump importing greatly persecuted white South African farmers doesn't seem to be working out.

Arrest the farm owners.

The facilities aren't obliterated.

There's what Drudge Report wants to have happened based off just the "worst case" of a preliminary DIA report, and what Trump wants to have happened based off the insanity in his head.

In between that, in the OSINT world that cares about what really happened: The facilities are destroyed. Their mountains aren't igneous rock they're sedimentary. Extensive blast debris out the entrance and extensive subsidence from 30,000 pound thermobaric penetrator bombs. Whatever Iran could not remove has been destroyed, and you can't fit that that many centrifuges on so few trucks. The ability to make more is destroyed. The hunt for a 4th facility that may or may not exist continues.

Not a particularly hot stock for Congress.

We didn't miss any of the facilities and each MOP hole is 2 bomb impacts each.

Israel LET HAMAS OUT OF GAZA to go train in Iran?

#51 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-06-25 12:19 PM | Rep

Yeah man they are all powerful and can stop people going out as easily as rocket parts going in.

There WAS peace. Iran wasn't attacking anyone. Israel and the US broke that peace.

When was the last time Iran invaded anyone?

Where did the Houthi get those weapons?

Where did Hamas train for their raid on Israel?

Who bankrolled the Shia side of Iraqi civil conflicts?

Pretending Iran is an innocent angel is fraudulent.
