    No poor fella. He did not indict Trump. But overall, in the past 25 years, it's true. Most people know that in Trump's four years we avoided foreign military entanglements. It would be a bit awkward to say "during biden's presidency then the 17 years preceding President Trump's first term". Right?

    Don't pull that "your emperor's" nonsense either.

    Not sure you're correct. If I have a product I want to sell internationally- in your country- but you make me pay extra for the privilege while selling in my country with no extra fee, is it fair trade?

    If Iran fired a missile at a US base in Syria, it requires a response.

    They could be supplying Iran with more missiles. If it were just people they were evacuating, why not send some ordinary planes instead of transport planes? Hopefully, someone is monitoring these planes with satellites, and gives Israel a heads up if these planes need to be blown to bits. It would risk getting China involved in the conflict, but that is fairly unlikely since it would possibly lead to a confrontation with the U.S.

    good lord I can’t imagine being tasked with flying that giant flying fridge with a radar signature that large into a place swimming with surface to air missles. No way

    At least Iran is finally warning civilians of attacks coming.

    Well, if you’re not a free person and your only purpose in life is to die for the CCP …

    that’s a quick way to do it. I’d almost rather just charge a pill box machine gun nest. I was just up in Anchorage and noticed the large number of 777 and 747 Chinese cargo aircraft. Those guys must be royalty to get that job.

    An ancient anti-Semitic trope. The same warning by many across the many nations Jews have been exiled to over the centuries.

    Did Trump just revoke EO 11905 from Gerald Ford? Wild.

    The Liberty incident was in 1967. Long ago. And LBJ still sent two carrier grip ups for keep the USSR out of that war.

    You ignored the IEAA report just before this war. I posted the analysis of it.

    He misspoke. It’s OK, actually funny. You twist it whichever way that makes you happy.
