only in the American military is 35k for a one way drone considered cheap.

Maybe the Pakis shouldn’t have played safe haven for those barbarians?

Tough to enforce the tribal areas and other places like say…Abbotabad, especially when half the damn country and military sides with The Taliban and al Qaeda.

Hopefully these 2 will do some dirty work for us.

The things that conservatives live in fear of...

How U.S. Muslims compare with other Americans religiously and demographically

U.S. Muslims tend to be younger and more highly educated than other Americans. But they're similar to Christians on many religiousness measures.

That is 1% too much

 

[volbound1700]

Zionism is his religion. I certainly agree that the man has no relationship with God.

Zionism isn't a religion, it is a political ideology

 

[NashVol11]

Hell yeah, we should ban certain religions and only approved religions are allowed! The Founding Fathers would no doubt love this idea

Another MAGA, "lover of the Constitution" I see.

Not MAGA and frankly I wonder if I truly care about Democracy. It fails everytime. Athens crumbled, Roman Republic turned into Empire, etc.

Europe was stronger with Kings and Queens back in 1600 and 1700s than today.

Hell our taxes were far better off with George III than today and we had more freedoms as well.


Edit: Dang he didn't bite. Got him on the 1% comment

Now there is a shining example of how the power of ignorance can completely shape a person's worldview.

How the US managed to go from rag tag collection of colonies to the most powerful nation on the planet in less than 200 years without a monarch must really generate a lot of cognitive dissonance for you.

I do applaud you for coming out as a monarchist though; it's a bizarre position to hold in America, but at least you are honest about it.

Huckabee also said any American that wants to leave Israel needs to do so today.

Didn’t want to start a new thread, so I’ll drop it here. The tinder box of the MEAsian is starting to burn hot. Wonder if Afghanistan is enjoying all our weapons we smartly left behind.

Pakistan declares 'open war' with Afghanistan as they trade deadly strikes — NBC News

Pakistan struck Kabul and two other provinces hours after the Taliban launched cross-border attacks, in the latest escalation of violence between the two South Asian neighbors.

Instability all over Asia right now, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand and even PNG.

India, has some internal issues and spats with multiple neighbors..........Pakistan and Afghanistan

The region is getting warm.

I was telling my wife this morning I think we have reports of strikes overnight Iranian time. Seems to always happen on a Friday evening/night

It is the entire world right now ans it is because things are not good economically, anywhere.

It was tough because they didn't want to. Pakistan knew where OBL was hiding out.

Exactly. Hell they placed him there. They probably even had the wrong ISI guy catch him and then moved him next door to West Point to cover it up. I think there are so many moving parts to that mission that we won’t find out about for decades.

There was a reason the mission was a kill only and not a capture/kill. That came directly from POTUS, they were even directly ordered to not shoot OBL in the face so he could be easily identified. Which of course DevGru ignored and canooed him anyway.

Do you know the cost of a single Tomahawk missile?

 

[Vol423]

Yep, who ever has been in charge of daily maintenance on that Carrier needs to be out of a job.

I'm not sure that's the way the military works.

the irony is those are US built copies of the Shaheed Iranian drones, or however you spell it

He just admitted that there was “a risk” of a drawn out war. He’s not even trying to sell it.

 

[Matt2496]

The only way this ends is full regime change. I just can't see the US government mobilizing all of these assets for just a few strikes on uranium enrichment facilities. You can't strike your way into regime change. There will likely be boots on the ground at some point.

As I've said time and time again, we should let Israel deal with Iran and stay out of it.

Lol, relative to what exactly?

I’m not sure if we blame Rob O’Neill for that or not..haha.

If we go to war with Iran, a real war, it's very possible if not very likely that we'll lose at least one carrier and many if not most of the sailors on it. But sadly Trump's ego and the fanaticism of Christian Zionists make it to where a majority of Americans would gladly sacrifice a whole carrier of American personnel on the altar of Bibi Netanyahu and his combover (created in the image of God's combover, of course ).

This might be the dumbest thing I read today in the PF.

And I read all of WTO’s posts.
