  1. The problem is the Rev Guards. They have the power and the guns to squash this and have done so at least three times before. Only way things will change is if the regular military pushes back, external forces get involved, and/or the entire population/police including rurals turns against them with weapons. Right now it appears only minorities (Azeris, Kurds, etc) and urbans are protesting. I'm hopeful, but not optimistic. When the rulers have the guns, and the will to use them, protests usually fail. The playbook is to cut the net (check), and start shooting (check), till the streets empty. My thoughts and hopes are for the Persian people.
  2. They already killed who they wanted to kill when they blew up that building full of POWs.
  3. Yes, ethnically he was. Mercury was ethnic Persian-Parsi, not Indian. Adams was ethnically Anglo.
  4. Oh, and pos rep for this. Fuck that cesspool.
  5. Had a great Uncle who opened a casino in the early 90s in the Baltics, but was threatened and had it stolen by the Russian Mafia. Third world shithole that country is.
  6. They were Persian and Zoroastrian and lived in India to escape persecution. Yes, look for how the Revolutionary Guards and regular military react. The guards have tons of power and weapons, so much so I'm not sure the Army could take them. Still rooting for the normal Persian citizens though.
  7. That sounds good in theory, but crumbles in the face of Russian conducted war. Kazakhs, like most former soviets, hate Russians. They support Ukraine and are pissed their oil exports got cut off when Russia shut down the pipeline in Novorossiysk. Russians are running out of places to run and hide. It's like you haven't been paying attention.
  8. They are going to allow proxy, absentee, and online "voting". Obviously it will pass.
  9. Finally. Must have broken that communist's heart to say that.
  10. That's domestic, I was speaking geopolitically. No one is perfect, but he would have been worlds better than what we got.
  11. He was spot-on about more than that geopolitically. He would have done well.
  12. The presidency is a foreign policy position at it's core, it's where the majority of the positions power resides. The danger Russia posed to the West was blatantly obvious from 08 forward when it invaded Georgia. If she worked in foreign policy/diplomacy in Russia, and was harassed by the Russian security services, and still voted for Obama because of domestic concerns, she was at least naive, if not ignorant. Obama was such a foreign policy disaster, he made Jimmy Carter look like Ghengis Khan. It's not like his domestic policy was much better. His singular domestic policy "achievement" was undone within one election cycle. McCain and Romney were always dead right. I disagree, the ignorant children were the ones touting "reset buttons" and "fresh starts" like they were in a courtroom or a classroom, when they were actually on the playground. They were naive children, and hence were child's play for Putin. If you think I'm carrying water for Trump, or populists (from any side), you could not be more wrong. I do appreciate the reply sans the mouth breathing vitriol.
  13. Or Romney, who correctly called out and warned us, about the Russians/Putin in 12. Everyone called him a coldwar dinosaur who refused to move on and proclaim the "reset". There was plenty of myopia going around that was quick to dismiss the obvious warning signs out of ignorant, idealist, hope. Ignorant children
  14. I meant foreign policy, but whatever triggers you less.
  15. Umm, it was? Good job referencing Nazis for no reason. Trenchant, timely, and topical. Either depending on topic. Not often.
  16. Technically the Navel in "Navel-gazing" is your Navel. I laughed though
  17. Not sure who you're referencing, but I've been on Shaggy since the beginning. And again, "Deep State" is not a new term, it's just been co-opted by the populist morons of both sides. The kind of morons who get triggered by words and can't intellectually absorb information in their presence. I will keep using "Deep State" whenever I wish, much like I say "Howdy!" because Texans said "Howdy!" before it was co-opted by Aggies. I'm taking it back damnit! You may now continue the usual navel-gazing and circle-jerking associated with echo chamber political forums.
  18. Forgot to mention the NSC, which actually fits the definition best.
  19. Georgian woman: - Why are you here? Why? If "Glory to Russia" why are you here? Russian woman: - We don't live here Georgian woman: - Thank God. Get out of here. Georgian woman #2: - Get out of here quickly. Get up and get out of here. Russian man: - Are you kicking us out? Georgian woman #2: - Get out of here quickly. Fast Georgian woman: - Go to Russia Georgian woman #2: - Damned. Fast Georgian woman: - Occupiers Georgian woman #2: - Nobody needs you here. Not in Europe, not in America and not in Georgia. Take away all such rotten Russians Georgian woman: - Putin is a huilo and you are also a huilo Georgian woman No. 2: - Glory to the heroes, damned Russians followed by Georgian speech
  20. Condescension acknowledged. I know it's used by the populists, but I just meant it as the gears of the machine. "Deep" because it's less followed than the surface politicians. The term existed far before it was co-opted by populists on both sides, any moron knows that. No nefarious conspiracy. No Q.
  21. That the unelected part of the Government made up of career employees, the CIA, DOD, JSOC, etc, have been doing a great job of helping Ukraine and advancing our national interest in the war. As incompetent as our politicians and bureaucracy often seem to be, the foreign policy "deep state" has done a good job this year. If the politicians would stay out of the way, imagine what they could do.
