So you are saying there is a chance?

nope.

Recons teams deploying like this.

What armored vehicle carries 30 troops? Are they up armoring trucks?

Don't think so. Pattern emerging. His appointees look like what he wants MAGA to think he is all about. Kind of pretty women, rural, but yet strong in their careers. Rural backing, right wing areas. Marco. The 1 Latino friend you have to prove you are not racist. None of them are threats to him and will do his bidding. Leaving their posisitons just does not jeopardize the party on the state level. The hardliners being appointed do not need confirmation. If you vote against Noem or Marco then you are a lying Dem who hates women and latinos.

This is interesting. Not expected, shows some serious fractures. Fatwa's are a big deal. Like a Papal Bull if issued from the right authority. This would form the basis of Friday Sermons. Not might, it will. The most prominent Islamic scholar in Gaza has issued a rare, powerful fatwa condemning Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack on Israel, which triggered the devastating war in the Palestinian territory. Professor Dr Salman al-Dayah, a former dean of the Faculty of Sharia and Law at the Hamas-affiliated Islamic University of Gaza, is one of the region’s most respected religious authorities, so his legal opinion carries significant weight among Gaza’s two million population, which is predominantly Sunni Muslim. A fatwa is a non-binding Islamic legal ruling from a respected religious scholar usually based on the Quran or the Sunnah - the sayings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. Some good stuff in the spoiler. My highlights. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4vw1l8xvdo

For him there is a win on a few fronts. 1- Shows he is a leader not afraid of Israel. Strengthens his position on the street among the three Sunni powers. You know, cred. He is pushing hard, albeit quietly, for a bigger role in the region as a defender of the little dude. 2- A big ass middle finger to the EU. He says they harbor Kurdish terrorist groups that the EU says are separatists, not terrorists. 3- He knows we won't leave that nice big ass base. And if we did? well I am sure someone else would love to move in.

so aggy football seniors = US Military?

Dear Lord Baby Jesus. Please let those aggies from NM beat the crap out of the aggies from Texas.

Read that link about the assassination. Mossad has an image of pulling off some amazing operations, but they also have fucked up a lot. #5 is real. That villa could be in a senior Sheik's compound, etc. Doubt they go out and mingle at the club. And what do those talking heads really accomplish? You make them martyrs it is a lot more. Arabs remember for a long time. We tend to forget. Except for football. We remember that shit.

Lots of reasons. 1- We want Qatar stable. We really like our base there. And the LNG is nice. 2- Qatar plays an interesting role in the Gulf. They play both sides in the Sunni-Shia game. 3- Hard to allow that while Trump's cabinet is meeting the Taliban there. Doha is kind of the Geneva of the region. 4- Israel wants trade with the region. Their assassination in Dubai caused some impact there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Mahmoud_Al-Mabhouh 5- Hamas probably lives in a nice, well guarded villa. Could they? Probably. But why? What is the benefit? They are mouthpieces. The fighters, the IDF's real worry, are in Gaza and pretty much surrounded. The IDF's Hamas problem is now getting hit outside of the region.

This one cracked me up.

womenz, monies, you name it. It is early. I am sorry G-Nazi.

We will get there in the SEC. Pretty soon according to aggy everyone will hate us.

I understand it would be piss off a lot of people. What would we do? Kick them out of NATO? Remove our base? Just saying that is what I have seen. Fuck it, let them go to the backwater of Port Sudan. Send them to Darfur. Move our old compound in Kabul?

either way they are gonna get hit by the IDF. Only place would be in a KSA base

yep, all those 22-50 year old male civil servants in places like Yakutsk will be changing their uniforms.

2000 a day is 10 flights. We already do that. Not hard to up flights. Just buy the next airline that goes bankrupt. https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-conducts-single-adult-family-unit-removal-flights-aug-9-0 ICE only has 12 aircraft. Figure one or two are down for maintenance at any given time. https://www.ice.gov/factsheets/ice-air-operations

Agree that there are few options. 1- no one really will want them. 2- anywhere they are vulnerable. That is why I brought up Turkey. Will the IDF go after them there? 3- Iran? Russia? Residents of the NORKS? 4- Europe? Of those Turkey is the safest and provides a bit of something for both groups.

I still don't think it happens.

I think so. Trump needs it more than Putin. Of course it could be Putin with a big old fuck you.

Starting points. Russia. Keep all land siezed and get Kursk back. Ukraine. Give back Kursk, get either Crimea or Donbas. Russia will want Kursk back. Would be great to see the bridge go down. Both sides are playing for the tie. It is like a shitty soccer game except quite sad and maddening.

Kremlin refuted it today.

So what are Russia's starting points? Ukraine's?

Maybe it is a bridle.
