If war is a continuation of politics by other means and our politics are incredibly stupid and incoherent then our wars should be too. That's just theory.
The Trump administration is rapidly escalating its pressure campaign against Venezuela, even as President Trump’s aides provide conflicting accounts of what, exactly, they are seeking to achieve. nyti.ms/49nV4PY

I can think of worse cases for the DRC...
worst case scenario for DRC, conceding early - have to open the match up which is more to Nigeria's advantage. hopefully it works out that way

Take any given loud gentile zionist, and there's a really good chance that they love the Jewish people so much that they'll help them pack.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Whatever else you think of Pete Buttigieg, this is a very effective Republican attack line, and recognizing why is important.
This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

I was just streaming a show on Hulu with a character based on a guy I know in it. Within the first twenty minutes, him and colleague walk into a meeting to be greeted by "oh look, the retards are here."

This actually applies to a whole range of pseudoscience and conspiracy theories. Above average intelligence plus ignorance and arrogance has always been a reliable recipe for a crackpot.
The arguments for that sort of racialism are indeed stupid, but in a specific way that appeals to people like Watson who have used to their intelligence to find complicated ways of being stupid.

There were always two sorts of Anti-Communist, those who hated the Bolsheviks because they (to my thinking, rightly) thought Marxism-Lennism would never deliver on it's promises, and those who hated them because they feared that they would.

Trump's totally bizarre preference for fraiming everything in terms of zero sum domination and conquest strikes again. Generally, helping a state suppress an insurgency is considered a form of aid.

Given that they both worked closely with LAPD chief William H Parker at the same time, its very likely that Gene Roddenberry and Daryl Gates knew each other. I don't know what to do with that information.

Antisemitism just very bleak to think about as an issue. Like in terms of how widespread a prejudice it was 20 yrs ago compared to today I don’t think think any other prejudice has seen more backsliding. Really just a combination of worst case scenarios.

Because the countries in question are ICC signatories, anyone involved in this can potentially be indicted.
Contrary to SecDef, there’s a world of difference between these (alleged) unspecified narcos and al Qaeda.

No armed attack on U.S. like 9/11.

No armed conflict.

Just the U.S. government engaged in lawless premeditated killing.
