Thetexashammer

It's been said before, but you should check the dates. Do you have anything that trumps November 2019?

Yeah sorry about that. Here's something more current. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/watchdog-irans-violations-nuclear-deal-increasing-66913829 https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-iran-nuclear-deal-20191111-p3n3xid3oramvg67gvkvigismq-story.html https://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-announces-more-violations-of-nuclear-deal-with-new-centrifuges/ https://www.ajc.com/news/watchdog-iran-violations-nuclear-deal-increasing/2eXuoN5qPzukAz63sIXobM/ https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2019-11-11/atomic-watchdog-irans-stockpiles-of-uranium-still-growing https://www.ksl.com/article/46671641/un-reports-increasing-violations-of-iran-nuclear-deal They were found to be violating the agreement but our media didn't want to play it up. The centrifuges are spinning ad infinitum.

And that is why the political environment I referenced (and nobody else did) is relevant. They recently shut down the entire internet in their country. We massively overpower them. Their banking system was destroyed. The protestors attacked 50 military bases. Even the threat to shut down Hormuz is a joke. You think they can start shit with us? Good Luck /MarcoFromTropoja Oil was up $2 yesterday. All you need to know.

One of the most fantastic places I have ever visited is the War Museum in Seoul. It's right across from our base at Yongsan. When you walk into the the museum, you first enter this big hall. I can't remember what's on all the exhibits, but when you walk into the main hall, I think it's off to the left, there's one of those brass inscriptions. It has a couple of paragraphs, but the part I remember is the beginning. "If you desire peace, prepare for war". The quote was from hundreds of years ago. Democrats love power. Republicans love power. They express that love for power in different ways, but they're both worthless and corrupt parties. The Democrats are appeasers. History demonstrates really clearly that appeasement is bad. You have to punch back when attacked. We have been repeatedly attacked by Iran. We had to hit back, and we chose a good target. Republicans are mostly neocons even though most of their base is like me. Nobody wants a land war in Asia. Well, except for Republitards who can puff out their chests and feel manly since they didn't actually serve. Iran can retaliate but we have hundreds of cruise missiles parked in the Gulf aimed at Iran. More targeted assassinations, I would suspect, some infrastructure. You have to respond when attacked or you beget more attacks. It's what we did wrong with Bin Laden. Clinton could have killed him. Most people don't realize we have those cruise missiles pointed at Iran, but you bet your ass the Iranians do. Basically, it's all too complicated for politicians, who are the most worthless, corrupt, ignorant people on the planet. They almost always fuck it up. The chance of a land war in Iran or other serious escalation remains 0.0000000%. Iran isn't in position to project force. We are.

Are you sure? Seems likes the knuckledraggers at CFR disagree with you. https://www.cfr.org/interview/significance-irans-secret-nuclear-plant

I am 100% in agreement. I opposed the first Iraq War. I remember talking to a roommate about driving to DC to protest. I opposed the 2nd Iraq war. I continue to wonder why we're in Afhanistan, there is obviously no purpose.

Your country was attacked by evil shithead terrorists three days ago. Did you feel a surge of patriotism and love for Trump?

I expect to go undefeated. I'll tolerate a loss or two if we get really unlucky. Every game is winnable. Shit both OU and LSU were winnable this year, if we had better coaches. Tommy Boy screwed up. His "attention to detail" was bullshit. We were underperforming from the beginning of the season but he didn't listen or evaluate correctly. Why do they even bother watching tape if they aren't fixing the fuckups? I mean, even a football idiot like me can see that blitzes from Egypt don't work. And everyone knew our offensive playcalls. Maybe I'm not the only one who could have picked up on that? So far his bullshit has all been a lie. I hope he's figured out how to fix it. You can't be fucking friends with your subordinates. You just can't. I also expect them to let Sam audible. It's idiotic that he doesn't. O-line should be better. Offense should be on fire next year.

I don't think there's going to be a change in regime. I do think it's more likely now than it has been since 1979. And I think that's an important part of the context. It's not been reported in our media to any real extent. Yes, patriots rally around the flag, right up until they don't. i read a poll once that the Iranian government had a 13% approval rating. I'm not sure that in the process of having a mob destroy the state banking system and attack the 50 military bases you're going to see a lot of rallying around the flag. The goal of the protestors is to topple the government, they hate the mullahs and starting wars than bankrupt the country isn't likely to increase the government's support. I think there are 13% of Iranians who genuinely want to destroy the Big Satan and hte Little Satan. I think those "patriots" are massively outnumbered by people who just want to live their lives.

So, everyone understood before this happened that we were about to attack Iran, right? I knew it. Pompeo said it. Iran is detaining freighters in the Persian Gulf, including a British Naval vessel. They attacked refineries in Saudi Arabia. They bombed our base in Iraq. They shot down our drone. Then they attacked our embassy. Trump pulled back on his earlier cruise missile attack. Iran kept going with their nonsense. Something had to be done. Iran must stop doing what they are doing. If they keep it up, they will be attacked again and in a more serious manner but without any boots on the ground. The Iranian government is in a very bad place right now. There were protests recently that Reuters states have kill 1500. Iran had to shut down the internet. Their economy is in shambles thanks to American led sanctions. The protests started after the government was forced to raise prices for gasoline (AKA their are having budget problems). 8 days ago they again curtailed the internet after more protests. If you think these are just the same old protests again, they're not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019-20_Iranian_protests I know they are saying that the goal isn't regime change, but I think it is. The Iranian government is in no position to start shit with anyone, especially a war they would lose in a matter of minutes.

It was an attempt to kill or capture everyone in the embassy. Most of them were noncombatants, which is why Suleimani is a terrorist. It was an act of war. Killing Suleimani, the general who planned and executed the attack and had a long history of killing noncombatants, was entirely warranted and his death should be celebrated.

I celebrate the death of this terrorist because of the lives that it saves. Iran has been provoking us for a while, and they deserve this and more. Obviously, if they continue the provocations, we will escalate. Iran could not survive that. It's a good strategic move, pointed but not on Iranian soil, targeted to make their elites fear death. Obviously a tiny taste of what is to come if they keep up the provocations. Very clever.

Darmok and Jalad, at Tanagra.

Amateur.

I enjoy when milfs jump up and down after a touchdown. They should show more of that.

Is that when you masturbate to someone you don't like?

I go by the Mayan calendar so I have no idea what any of you are talking about.

Undefeated. Why would I expect anything less?

He gone.

Wow, a perfectly timed and executed blitz.

I can't wait until next year when I can start that thread again. We're doomed.

We've got affaleetes.

Forgot Jamison got tackled. Anyway, one TD still isn't exactly overwhelming. I remain unconvinced we will win this. Offense is playing about 60% of potential.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that Jamison didn't get in. Still, none other than that gimme.
