  1. Dang you got him good
  2. Chad Steve Ballmer vs. Virgin Jeff Bezos
  3. Yes, you're right, it's worse now. If you think we're funneling money and weapons to Israel and sending strategic bombers over there to spread democracy you're kidding yourself. It's the exact same delusion that the powers that be counted on vis a vis Iraq. A government amenable to us plundering their natural resources (and keeping them from flowing into China) is the only acceptable option. And we aren't the only interested parties, the Saudis are very interested in this as well.
  4. Right, my point was they have had this before and we decided to destroy it because they dared to nationalize their own oil industry and refused to capitulate to Western (mostly British at the time) oil interests. We will never allow them to have a democratic government because they will want to maintain control of their own interests.
  5. On one hand I understand being hawkish against the current regime and I definitely agree they need to go, but it's always amusing to me how no one wants to look back and consider why Iran is the way it is now and how that should factor in to how this goes. It doesn't seem to be that bombing the shit out of this country and then installing whatever puppet government we choose is going to ultimately lead to a better outcome than what we have today. Seems like a lot of selfish, short term interest is driving a lot of this.
  6. Tbh, dissolving every Likud party member in acid would probably be a net positive for the world. e: Similar to the mullahs
  7. Yeah I know they exist but I've legit had like a dozen women tell me the exact same thing. It's a little different if the girl is "tall" (5'9"+). I'm not saying short kings don't run into this, but if you're average height as a dude or taller, you're not gonna have issues 9 times out of 10 as long as you're confident.
  8. I dated a girl that puts this in her online dating profiles. It's mostly not a real thing and more bait to weed out insecure men. She likes her men to just be taller than she is which isn't hard considering she's 5'4".
  9. This is correct, there is no question that Iran is a state sponsor of international terrorism. That doesn't mean that they are developing WMDs, even the US intelligence community doesn't think this is the case. That doesn't mean it couldn't happen. They started "slipping" in their compliance with the IAEA shortly after Trump blew up the JCPOA and some of their actions have been concerning. Even still, Israel's justification for a pre-emptive strike and pushing for total war seems non-existent/insane.
  10. I really don't think that matters, the Tates appeal to a spectrum of shitty people, not just weird incels.
  11. Unironically I would bet my entire net worth that Barron Trump was
  12. It's widely thought that the Trump admin pushed to end the Tate brothers' travel ban and they were welcomed into the US.
  13. Gotta deport all Mexicans but the British human trafficker? Come on over!
  14. Yeah but I bet you tipped like shit!!!!!
  15. Seems to me like there's a lot more older men that are incel morons than younger ones, other than the Gen Z males that are basically chronically online hikikomori but there's probably not nearly as many of those as some people seem to think.
  16. Even this is just kicking the can down the road. If you're going all in, you're facilitating regime change at this point. Doing anything else just ends up with the same or similar problems in 5-10 years. Of course they're not going to nuke Israel, it's literally instant suicide. And they already effectively have a nuclear deterrent in their ability to basically completely disrupt regional oil production. This would also (probably) effectively be suicide but them attempting this is not something I would rule out if the regime saw the writing on the wall. Israel can't fight any wars at all without our resources. I've always said that they're free to fight whatever wars they like, just don't do it with my fucking tax dollars, but the reality is that they can't do shit without our money and logisitical support, period, and US foreign policy is effectively uniparty so that was never going to change despite how unpopular it is. The bolded part is the important bit. I am not confident at all in the Trump administration's ability to negotiate anything that was even close to as effective as the JCPOA. That ship has now (more or less) officially sailed. The JCPOA was also effectively kicking the can down the road, but it was working and could have been expanded upon later on down the line. Between Trump blowing that deal up for literally no reason and Israel launching a pre-emptive strike (100% with our blessing, despite what media talking heads would have you believe), Iran has no reason whatsoever to be trusting of any US-led effort at a diplomatic solution at this point.
