Someone else said that it was now every man for himself. Perfectly understandable and pragmatic.

And it wasn’t the Japanese who attacked us at Pearl Harbor, it was their military and leadership. Never should have punished their people for a few wayward individuals.

Maybe I’m confused here, but the US military engaged with the Japanese military and its infrastructure, not the Home Islands’ civilian population … at least not until the very end. I’m not accepting your argument.

@castor_troy

May as well nuke the whole place once we finish.

Totally immoral and unacceptable. Unthinkable, even.

He could be referring to using nukes…but you never know. He plays both sides.

Seriously, we’re not gonna get any peace in the middle east until we blow up the 1918 borders.

The only way that we can get peace in the middle east is we stop blowing shit up.

Well gosh, thank you, and likewise. I always read your posts even when I’m skimming.

The majority of parents appear to support mask mandates:

Some parents in the district oppose masks, resulting in heated school board meetings where members are called “Nazis” and “fascists” and accused of child abuse for recommending masks, Vaughn said.

But she added the board receives twice as many emails from pro-mask parents who are afraid to come to the meetings and be in tight indoor spaces with anti-maskers who are sometimes aggressive.

They just don’t show up at these meetings with screaming, unmasked crazies.

I guess we had a close escape in Mr. Troy not being a Trump advisor eh?

I’m not sure this is any of our business anymore.

Why is this an objective?

Well, because they have a way of causing issues elsewhere. I get the urge to bail and let them kill each other off. More or less these are all tribal wars over areas that have had shifting borders since a stick was used to draw one.

Raise your hand if you know who got us into the disaster that has always been Afghanistan.

Just don’t forget to make room for me on that trip to New Zealand. I hear good things.

It was the one haven of peace in an otherwise conflict-ridden world before we stuck our oar in.

The Taliban was sponsoring Al Qaeda, they had to go.

And need to be eliminated from the face of the planet. May as well nuke the whole place once we finish evacuating.

There it is.

From the BBC

Also BBC via NPR just a few minutes ago - the Education Minister-in-limbo made a point that the US will need to figure out what external actors made this resurgence so fast and effective.
Which, unless US Intel was already aware of, might suggest despite JMMarshal’s belief otherwise that Senator Hassan has a point.
I 'd hope it is a “rope” approach, but not sure how that would help if it were.
Get all the BoP and ICE bullyboys, 3%/proudbois/xian soldiers together and get them volunteer to ship out to a new meat grinder? I have indulged in some wishful thinking in my time, but …

I stopped trying to keep track of what ‘opinion’ he holds on any particular subject. It changes depending upon his audience. His choice of moniker is Freudian.

All this discussion of Afghanistan is all fine and good but I’m more interested in the war on Covid.
We might actually have a chance of winning that one.

We could nuke Wuhan?

j/k

Addendum…

Winning the war on covid requires convincing the US Taliban, the GOP…

Ah, thanks, I wasn’t aware of what the Brits did.
