The New York Times, too. Scott Adams received a harsher sub headline from the NYT for his obituary when he passed.


I shouldn't be surprised by it but it's still baffling

Scenes that you won't see in your neocon info bubble:

General Soleimani had a high approval rating in Iran, and was a hero in much of the Middle East because he defeated ISIS.

Supreme Leader Khamenei, not so much. 80% of the country wanted him gone.

Funny to watch the same bad actor argue with a new combatant here.

The point must be learned: it's pointless to get in the mud with a pig.


Agreed.

What's also funny is how 4 stars appear immediately with each and every post, no matter how false or absurd the post. I feel like I'm in grade school here in this forum.

Grown adults and Cal alums actually have time in their day for this?

Amazing.


I was thinking today that 2/3 of these "discussions" end up with Barley try to both explain what she said or what she didn't say. And it goes on and on in a back and forth. Give her props for being the Queen of Inuendo. Where every action, every post and word implies some belief etc but when questioned by normal people on said belief you get the ole "I didn't say that….blah blah" and then the whole thing starts up again and it's time to snooze the topic until someone gets tired and goes to bed


Agreed 100%.

The "exchanges" that are engaged in are pedantic and clog up the board. It's a disruption that becomes a distraction to the actual thread topic at hand.

There really should be a daily limit on posting.
One doesn't need to overwhelm the board with 100 posts in a day in order to make their point.

Clearly, people have become tired of this.

The entire upper pyramid of their leadership has been taken out. A large part of their Navy have been taken out. Iran has reportedly used almost all of their missile stores. I'd say this is being obliterated. The goal was never to destroy the country as a whole, it's to decimate the leadership and defense structure and force capitulation.

News is now reporting the Austin shooting yesterday may be a terrorist attack tied to the war. The shooter had a hoodie / jacket with the word Allah on it and had a shirt underneath with reference to Iran on it.

He is a naturalized US citizen born in Senegal and had a Quran in his car.

Interesting that more men and women approve than disapprove and the only age group that doesn't approve more than disapprove is 30-44 year olds. There is a large number of undecided still

Iran attacked any country within easy reach, except Afghanistan, Russia, and Turkey?

Reportedly, the US hacked Iranian regime TV, and Trump gave a direct message to the Iranian people, telling them that the US supports them and it's time to take back their nation.

How is the above headline in the NY Times not a FACT?

Was Khamenie not a hard line cleric?
He was.

How was Iran not a regional power?
Yes, they were and they did in fact challenge Saudi Arabia.

A time frame has been set. A lot of people's opinions on this military action will be determined by if that time frame is held at four weeks/less or if it's extended and this gets drawn out

I am not a fan of this answer at all. The correct answer is it will end when we achieve our objectives. Of course, who knows what those objectives really are?

The tit for that, the personalized insults, the condension. I thought that was not allowed, it seems like it has been used to moderate some and not others.

Where's movielover and brobear lately? Probably one and the same cat

I got a time out last week, just like you and two others on here did. They don't pick favorites.

Haven't seen movie in awhile but I saw a brobear post yesterday or today

movielover mentioned weeks ago that one of his friends was sick and maybe he might be busy taking care of him/her?

And you called me an idiot yesterday and were allowed to edit it away without any further issue. Meanwhile there are recent times I've been suspended and I don't even know why.
Censorship has always been a tool of the fascist

Are you implying that "brobear" is a Movielover alias???
Gee, I never thought of that.







Where did I say that? If anything that was SBG's implication

If we are crushing dictatorships that suck, can we do something about Israel and Russia?

Man, time to invest in defense contractor stock, the demand is going to be there

Not a good ESG play though

I see that on here a fair amount recently. The insults towards 88 are off the chain IMO.

I've never come close to calling any poster here an idiot. Why is that ok?

With Trump, I'd say the objective is a four week war.
