  • Meanwhile... Iran just launched missiles at our consulate and an air base.

    While all eyes are on Russia another of the world's bad actors feels emboldened


    Iran claims missile barrage near US consulate in Iraq

    Multiple 'Iranian-produced ballistic missiles' smash into US Army base in Iraq with huge fireball explosion

    “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”


    We are being led by the weakest of the weak

    I'm always still in trouble again

    Why in the world do we still have a base in Iraq?

      And didn't China just warn us not to give more weapons to Taiwan? The wolves sense weakness...

        IIRC that's the base we supposedly have an over-the-horizon force set to respond from in case things go further south than it already has in Afghanistan

          Don't worry, Joe will handle it with the same masterful competence with which he has handled everything else.

            Well, the one thing that is guaranteed is that whatever the Biden administration does, good or bad, you WILL complain about it.

              Kind of reminds us all of you and the previous administration.

                It could be worse. We could be doctoring videos about fish feeding, then pretending it's a major national embarassment, and still think the whole thing is Biden's fault even when the video was shown to be doctored...

                  I would love for him to actually do something good so we can test your theory.

                      SMH. Time to leave both countries the hell alone. Especially when we're watching Russia's atrocities in Ukraine. The longer we stay there, the lower and lower our ground to stand on is.

                        Oh, how soon you forget that several times I was complementary on a Trump policy or action.


                        The problem with Trump was the particularly obscene combination of significant to the point of top of the heap over history corruption, AND that it was routinely justified, defended, and/or denied by evangelical Christians and their leaders. A leader whose charisma could and did corrupt the church and defile its witness on the Earth. It was that specific combination that sent me over the top. A combination that we'd never seen before, and hopefully will never see again.

                            Rogue’s implication is that Trump’s manly threat tweets to rain down “fire and fury unlike anything the world has ever seen” against Russia and Iran would a sensible solution, despite having branded himself as anti-warhawk. He thinks we forgot about GOP and Democrat support for Bush’s invasions.

                            The fact is that the lone holdouts for America’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were Paul Wellstone (for Desert Storm) and Barbara Lee (for Afganistan and Iraq invasion 2).

                              I would too. So describe something he could do that you would call 'good'.
