  1. General Milley?
  2. Guardians are fighting to the last here. I am rooting for them because Yankees.
  3. He runs like a penguin
  4. The odds are that a couple current Tigers are not GOP/MAGA
  5. Looks like that worked out pretty well from the result of the Fox and Friends interview where he skewered Haley.
  6. Summer teeth?
  7. Somebody ask Nikki Haley about this.
  8. probably good to put a red hot poker up Trump's keester about his distrust and hatred of Nikki so the bad outcomes do not occur.
  9. Interesting thing will happen in the next few days...Haley will decide to campaign with Trump or not. The calculations she would be making to do that are many. He's going to lose anyway so it helps her viability for 2028 She wants a job and she thinks he is likely to win so might as well jump on bandwagon She decides that she might cause him (just enough nat security GOP are convinced by that) to win so best to stay out of it to avoid that bad outcome Trump may well retain his grudge against her so denounces her and she campaigns against him
  10. I think he's pro, males having dominion over them b$itches.
  11. welp...
  12. that was fun to watch. Suck it yankees.
  13. Taiwan won't be easy for the PRC. Normandy was close to the south coast of England and the Luftwaffe was cooked by the combined air offensive but it was still very hard to land and get ashore. Taiwan would be a tougher nut because of advanced weapons and bad conditions for the invader. Taiwan has a very, weird weather pattern and very few good beaches. The Atlantic hurricane season is chaotic for the US; but the western Pacific tropical cyclone season is murder for the east coast of China, the South China Sea and Taiwan. Landing on the west coast of Taiwan is channelized in only a few possible places. Tactical airborne landings are murder in any environment where shoulder fired SAMs exist. Note how hard it was for the Russian elite forces to take Hostumel Airport: they didn't. Now the US has been working fast to integrate some very advanced and effective systems such as the Typhon, Rapid Dragon, AIM-260 which will meet or beat similar advances for the PRC. China is seeing the importance of swarm AI with drones which the US leads in development of but they have a lot of tech advantages in as well. The war would be bloody and expensive. If we can keep our alliances we can and should win but I do not like to contemplate the costs. This is a very good essay on the subject: https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2024/september/no-one-should-think-war-will-be-short and the author discusses it here
  14. Not what i meant. I meant that as a fascist Trump will disarm his opponents. That’s playbook.
  15. Hitler banned guns. Trump likes Hitler.
  16. Not as much as is necessary for us to easily win a road game at the extreme western end of the Pacific against a strong near-peer power. We need to keep our allies and build more collective security structures to dissuade the PRC from thinking anything but bad things would happen if they tried. Of course if Trump wins, they win. So...
  17. Woah Feels true as well.
  18. Trump is going to ban guns
  19. We haven't seen such an obvious cocaine user since the final scene of Scarface.
  20. since Trump said it it is true. Motherly love for children is not as important as tariff protection for the aluminum industry
  21. I guess he's decided he might as well lose because he'll have his goons fighting anyway.
  22. The ending was solid.
