If you're arguing with me enough that you're looking at my bio for an edge, you've already lost. We've all lost
Politics, internationalist, Burkean Liberal
The $1.776 billion package Trump is stealing from the Treasury, and paying off his already-pardoned insurrectionists, is probably the most corrupt act of any US president in history. Which is worth contemplating
Iran's requirement that Israel stop operations in Lebanon is more important than that conflict by itself. Trump's ability to restrain Israel is sine qua non for any larger deal; what is the point if Israel can just attack the next time it feels antsy?
@PaperMissiles Their nuclear program was/is *huge*, and has been built to deal with casualties for two decades and she thinks we killed all the thousands of scientists...?
@PaperMissiles "The top Iranian scientists with the know-how are dead."
How on earth is she making this claim. Did she break news of Mossad's hit list and I missed it?
While the linked article from the Somali is sensationalist, I would say this attack is definitely an escalation over previous political violence and should have us all seriously worried
Heyyyy, slight problem — the President of Somalia had his troops raid the residence of a previous prime minister, and they got in a gunfight with his dudes. Normally, that’s just a small problem, just a lil issue.
But uhhh… this raid took place when the good PM was in a meeting with other clan elders.
@MattDavis19xx@Glorpy8@Acyn We've all had that uncle who came out of a stroke or heart attack and are a little bit woozy for a while and we're like "sure uncle, whatever you say"...
@DerekPederson3@TheLastNeocon He *literally* disassembled and destroyed more state capacity and soft political power than any person in the past decade, with the exception of Trump himself
When you come to kill people at a meeting with many heads of oppositional power based with *heavy weapons* in the middle of Mogadishu (at least, per the article and some other reports), perhaps things has escalated
