I'm sure I'm going to get toasted, but Iran and its proxies are just about ready to FAFO. At some point, the US needs to stop punishing the proxies and punish Iran as well. I'm certain POTUS has had many, many meetings on that plan. It certainly feels like we're going to end up there, meetings or no. Just stream of couscous, but come on. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/40-us-service-members-may-brain-injuries-iran-linked-attacks-rcna123591 https://www.reuters.com/world/us-carries-out-more-strikes-against-iranian-targets-syria-2023-11-08/ "U.S. and coalition troops have been attacked at least 40 times in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed forces since the start of October." The fucking US is the only voice of reason that has any meaning in this for Israel, and Iran and co are deliberately, systematically escalating while trying to keep is jsut below the level of plausible deniability for the common Arab and US citizen. The US is not in control. Fuck it. Lot's of people hate the US and will not change their opinion. But this is not WMD in Iraq or even Afghanistan pretense. Let's see how Russia does without Iraqi drones and put Iran in self defense mode, for once, rather than continuing to allow them to murder and kill through proxies like hamas and hezbollah. Why the fuck do we spend 12% of all spending in the US (roughly a trillion a year), on the military if we won't, can't or shouldn't use it? Being attacked sure as hell seems like the right time to use it.

Ah...Zionism aside, your statement "I see three groups opposed to Israel" was not very prescient. I can think of 6, maybe 8 groups that want Israel to fail. To pick an edge case, Ill say Bolivia. . As a more realistic case, Russia and China - any enemy of the Us, Israel or the West. Politics is a zero-sum game. I think of Israelis as an ethnic group. Is that wrong? Half my leadership team is Israeli, but they are not all "Jewish?" Hell, It confuses the shit out of me. I think they would view themselves as ethnic Jews? He's not out of line with that opinion, I think. He might be wrong, but it's not crazy. As for Hamas in the WB...I'm not there, I don't know. I'd be surprised it they weren't, though I'm confident Israel is the bad actor there.

I say this with all humility, after multiple bourbons: what post? Are you saying a person can't be educated on the Hamas Israeli conflict if they haven't read your posts, or your point wasn't recognized with a specific topic/thread? Again, I'm not my best self rn, which takes me about to mid, I think, so say it slow....

Is that bad?

I don't believe you could fit a shwarma in a slice or pepperoni. Maybe, MAYBE a Shawarma, but that's clearly not what you meant. Honestly, I think what you said is imwosible, because what you said does not exists.

Shitty nose. Whould not bhang.

My solution is to give the Israelis Mexico. What could go wrong?

From the comments: "I wonder if he's going to find federal prison as "exhilarating" as his professor found the slaughter, rape, and kidnapping of Jews."

Cornell admits nothing. Wait, wut...?

Protest? Wow.

Iran is incredibly weak rn. Russia is completely engaged (and losing), as well as needing help from Iran to stay viable. Strategically and politicly, carpet bombing the fuck out of Iran, the root cause of all this shit for 20 years, makes a lot of sense compared to the carnage these two counties cause year after year. Time to acknowledge bad actors and fuck them up. Waiting helps no one and hurts more and more people.

Don't bring reason into this. Don't. do. It. This buisness will get out of hand.

Your opinion didn't and hasn't bothered me, really. I have valued your input, even if it's wrong. Netanyahu's fault for not immediately invading. He's really, irrevocably, stupid. Worse, he's incompetent. But just so we're clear, trump could occasionally, randomly, mistakenly bump against my mentality. I despise the man, his coalition and his party (now). Netanyahu too. Not a single thing I have said or posted has been based on Trumpism. If Trump says the sun is bright, and I say it's bright, that doesn't mean we're fucking blood-brothers. I would never vote for Donald and would fist-fight him. Aggressivly. With extreme chingasos. I'm not a trumper. I'm not a Jew, and I'm not a Palestinian. ...but I can math, and I can see what has happened in the last 3 weeks. Hamas did this, and Palestinians did too. Period. Not the zeitgeist now, but I was here. I saw. Reality has warped into Jewish fault and culpability for Gaza. They are definitely at fault. As is Palestine (not arabia, it's important to note - many Arabian countries have a less than positive opinion of Palestine - and Gaza in particular. Blame the ottomans, the british, the germans, the US, the Iranians... and Israel twice. The solution is not to allow Hamas to murder and rape its people.

I have worked from home as a CRO and CEO for about 10 years. I never get to "cuff." I wear these watches maybe once a month. Less. Some are tens of thousands of dollars, some are 700. A couple (tag - no way I would buy a tag) are my dead fathers. My housekeeper asked me a week ago if I wanted the watches on my dresser. Or if I didn't want some of them, because they hadn't moved...for months. She's dusting them, basically. 15 watches worth well over 6 figures x 2, doing nothing, haphazardly across my dresser...for years. Working from home and watch game is no bueno. The Breitling Super Ocean Heritage Chrono is my fav, worth about 2k (cost about 3600 - Breitling is not an investment). Pepsi is second. Maybe first, since I wear it most. But I love the Breitling in the rubber band. Lip Special forces/Military and some other collectibles are cool to have. I asked my daughter, who has a two-tone date rolex already, if she wanted one - pepsi or batman. she's "nah, I'm good." Really? Jesus. Wait, really? You don't want a 2ok rolex? "Not really. As a 15 year old, I would have murdered my whole family for my dads 2 tone sub in the 80s. Values change. Truth is, Rolex is jewelry. Finely crafted jewelry, but decoration. The run up is not going to continue. Or, I'm wrong, and I will have 4 rolexes worth 4-5x what I paid for them, and my daugher can sell for a vacation in Bali.

Every time you post, hotshot, I can't help but think...I should sex medicine-ball girl.

U.S. military aircraft have carried out strikes in eastern Syria against facilities associated with Iranian-backed militant groups believed to be responsible for more than a dozen rocket and drone attacks on American troops in Iraq and Syria that injured 21 service members, the military said Thursday night. "Today, at President Biden's direction, U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups," said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in a statement. Chainsaw, GW, godspeed. Hope you survive the nuclear winter.

Link?

I could go line by line, but I'll offer a few pieces. Gazan's do have an affiliation to Hamas. Hamas is their government. "Opposed to violence" is not the same thing as opposed to Hamas, who perpetuated the violence. Hamas leads Gaza. I think you know this. Proof and shreds of evidence. From one quickly searched article: “Hamas has a clear propaganda incentive to inflate civilian casualties as much as possible,” Luke Baker, a former Reuters bureau chief who led the organization’s coverage of Israel and the Palestinian territories from 2014 to 2017, said in a recent X thread. (Baker declined to comment to TIME.) Like Biden, Baker does not dispute that civilian deaths have occurred. Rather, he says that the extent of the death toll is unverifiable and that those tasked with tracking casualties in Gaza may not be able to do so freely. “Any health official stepping out of line and not giving the death tolls that Hamas wants reported to journalists risks serious consequences,” Baker said. "...Skepticism over the death toll spiked in the aftermath of last week’s explosion at Gaza City’s Al Ahli hospital, in which hundreds are believed to have been killed. In the immediate aftermath, the Gaza health ministry said that 500 people had been killed in the blast—a sum that was later revised down to 471. (U.S. intelligence offered a more conservative estimate of between 100 and 300 deaths.) The only thing more contentious than the death toll is who was ultimately responsible for the blast. While Gaza’s health ministry spokesman laid the blame on an Israeli airstrike, Israel said that it was the fault of an errant rocket fired by Palestinian militants from Gaza—an assessment that has been supported by the White House. A recent visual investigation into the blast carried out by the New York Times remains inconclusive." Different source: "President Biden, meanwhile, said on Oct. 25 that he has “no notion that Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed” in Gaza. The U.S. leader said that he was sure that “innocents have been killed” and called on Israel to be “incredibly careful” to avoid civilian casualties, but he cast doubt on the reliability of Palestinian figures. “I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using,” Biden said. 10 second search, and more than a shred - and not twitter based. I think it's clear what the Gazan government did, and what they deliberately set up Israel for. Also: "genocide denialism." brought the chuckles. Jesus.
