The neocon playbook is always the same and it’s incredible how many fell for it
Promise a quick and limited engagement, put American troops in harms way
Let the situation escalate and troops die, then insist that we must fully commit because there’s no way out
@HietpasTref MOU was required to get oil flowing. Every country is depleting their reserves to a dangerous level. Now back at war, this risk is greater than ever.
MOU wasn't the issue, it was going to war in the first place and allowing Iran to find out how much a paper tiger USA is.
Głównym przekazem Nolana w jego ekranizacji "Odysei" jest to, że wojna trojańska i jej okrucieństwa i oszustwa doprowadziły do upadku epoki herosów. Upadek piękna Heleny, która się z białej piękności zmienia w czarną szpetotę, to dobrze symbolizuje. Piękno się rozpadło, tak jak cały ich świat epoki brązu się rozpadł.
A rozpadł się, bo przede wszystkim zniszczyli "prawo Zeusa" czyli "xenię" - zasady gościnności, czego porwanie Heleny przez Parysa, a potem odbicie jej przy użyciu konia trojańskiego jest idealnym symbolem. Złamali to prawo, co doprowadziło do rzezi niewinnych ludzi, a potem wieloletniej tułaczki żołnierzy, tak że tylko sam Odys został. To w filmie widać bardzo wyraźnie.
To jest film antywojenny, pokazujący, że łamanie zasad gościnności, a ogólnie zasad pokojowej współpracy, prowadzi do strasznej katastrofy i wielu cierpień.
Good news, the CDL has an address and a picture, so just go arrest and deport the holder. Also, if these illegals are employed, the employer has an address. Easiest crackdown ever.
Reality: Miller’s claim is bogus, or the administration doesn’t really care and won’t do anything.
This is the least talked about reason you can't afford anything.
For decades we printed and borrowed trillions but felt little price inflation as those dollars got absorbed overseas. Thanks to the malicious use of sanctions many countries stopped doing so.
Anyone who tells you that foreign policy doesn't matter tremendously simply doesn't understand economics.
When you are the global reserve currency the cost of war goes far beyond the price tag of the bombs.
If you can't afford a house or even groceries but you also supported the wars on Iran and Russia, well, you do it to yourselves.
An empire destroys many nations but it saves your own nation for last.
As we all anxiously wait for Tucker to produce a single piece of evidence for any of his psychotic claims, I sense a growing rage amongst his shrinking number of groupies.
They must know by now that they’ve been played. They’ve invested their time in a circus clown who has backed himself in a corner. So rather than admit they got played, they rage out and claw at their own faces while emptying themselves into their pull-up diapers. It’s a sad thing to witness. The doomers and grifters are all being exposed.
Everything they taught you about July 4th, 1776 is a lie.
The Redcoats weren't soldiers. They were something else.
We recovered the real footage using Utopai 🧵👇
Scott Adams: "You can get 70% of people to change their mind just instantly if you say, 'This is what your team thinks.'"
Or, as I quoted @michaelmalice in "Demonetize Your Mind!":
"The average human doesn't run a true/false filter but an us/them filter."
America 250 was going to be like a World Fair that would have attracted millions of people.
But Trump stole the money, denied permits, & renamed it Freedom 250 so he could make it all about himself & Republicans.
Trump stole America's Birthday from you! 🤬
Here's one of Michael Crichton's very finest quotes, especially applicable to climate "science":
"I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science.
I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled.
Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.
Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right ... In science, consensus is irrelevant."
Best to everyone,
