Sigh...

I quit. You win. Have a nice life.
I’m looking to have a rational conversation... you’re the one losing it here. I showed you the facts of the matter and you brought right wing conspiracy talking points into it. They aren’t the facts as I want them... they are just the facts. They don’t conveniently leave anything out. The goal was to contain Iran which the deal did and in exchange we had to give them some things in return including settling up on the debts we owed them as well as debts they owed us. Trump tore that up in a fit of pique despite the verification process working and finding Iran complying. They are rather rightly angry and not keen on trusting us again and it wasn’t all that easy to get them to agree to this deal. Trump blew it yet again.

I thought he quit with the BLM discussions.

This is a nothingburger.

They supply the arms, the ammunition, and the beans to keep the fighters moving... zero fucks given about a suitcase of cash.

It's called a proxy war for a reason. After the drubbing we put on Wagner in Syria, cash to mujahedeen was a foregone conclusion.

You guys are getting bent about something that should have been handled at the Station Chief level.

This kind of thing is handled at the blistering sanctions and potential cutting of diplomatic ties level. You wanna play paddy cake over an act of war.

Every single day is an act of war.

If you think for a minute that our arming of anti Assad rebels and the placement of anti tank missiles in The Donbass aren't acts of war, then I can't help you.

We've been at war for a good, long while.


Don't act like a suitcase of cash in some rocky shithole is a game changer.

Shit...

We've been actively trying to kill Eastern Bloc citizens since before they were even a thing.

Turnaround is fair play.

And having no response? Even rewarding them after knowing about it? C’mon....

No response? Read the hot sheets.

We've been flying bombers in the Black Sea... arming the Ukraine... arming Syria and Libya... and chasing their patrol planes out of the North Pacific.

These aren't things one does to one's friend.

If it wasn't for proxy wars, the only way the egomaniacs could get their rocks off would be a full nuclear exchange.

That applies to ALL political parties.


Take your pick.

And I'll add this...

I believe that Donald Trump is the right man for the job right now. I think he's a hippy peacenik and is the only thing standing between you hawkish folks and being burned to a crisp in a nuclear holocaust.

I guess being a hippy peacenik fits with the whole bone spurs thing...

Just be glad he DIDN'T listen to John Bolton.

Bolton is smart, but he is also a war hawk.

Trump: “The Story is fake”...

DNI an hour later: “We briefed him on it this morning”...

Big time.

It's amazing how hawkish the left gets when it suits their agenda, which at this point consists of "Trump stoopid, Trump bad, Trump mean".

Bone spurs... LOL what a maroon.
