Israel reportedly has a missile called the Jericho III which is designed to deliver a payload up to 3000-4000 miles. If they do have such a weapon they might be reluctant to let the world see it as it could be used as a nuclear delivery system.

Makes one wonder if some of her educational qualifications are based on something other than academic achievement :A Wacko:. But that's not possible......................right?

Trump is hated by 99% of Democrats, he's hated by a significant portion of the Independents and he's hated by a sizable minority of his own political party. Where exactly is he going to get the support to win? That's something none of his most ardent supporters have been able to tell me. As a...

So apparently Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. It's going to be an interesting election. Trump will need to garner the votes of almost 100% of the Republican voters to offset the lack of support he'll get from independents. Given the discussions here and the conversations I've had...

Sadly it appears you are correct. It would be an interesting experiment if there wasn't so much at stake. I'm still betting that the Democrats pull some switch especially if the race looks shaky to them. The question will be which of their awful candidates would they switch to.

Who exactly would stop him? Germany :ROFLMAO:? Poland would try if they had all the stuff they've purchased recently delivered, but they don't. Nope, it would come down to US forces and all of a sudden the war on the other side of the world that doesn't effect us is a huge problem.

Political expediency is the defining characteristic of the Biden administration. This obsession leads them to avoid anything that might dim their chances to retain power in 24. Evidently in their view pounding the crap our of some Iranian targets in retaliation for continued strikes against...

Obviously the war in Ukraine was preventable, Putin could have kept his army at home, but he didn't. Once he made that decision war was no longer preventable and Ukraine was forced to fight or die.

No one in the region wants Palestinian refuges. For one thing they do not assimilate plus they bring their terrorist groups, of which there are many, right along with them. Israel is going to have to figure out a way to reduce Hamas' power and numbers while still putting up with a huge number of...

Our apparent choices for President in 2024 make me wonder when we were sucked down the drain to the point where the only two apparent candidates are a loud mouthed, narcissistic, ass who apparently has never read a book or looked at a map and a doddering, corrupt, habitual liar, who struggles to...

I hope the new speaker does well but anyone who thinks he's in a position to "drain the swamp", whatever that means, is going to be disappointed. The Republicans have a majority in the house but it's thin and anything they pass has to go to a Senate controlled by the Democrats. At that any...

Completely agree. The problem is one of a culture that in many cases wants to remain separate from the rest of society with a primary allegiance to a belief system somewhat at odds with the rest of American society. I can see this on a small scale in communities where certain businesses have...

As for domestic politics. We have a President who appears to be a refugee from a nursing home and a congress that's at best dysfunctional. What a shit show.

The proof that there wasn't a IDF strike on the hospital......it's still standing! Anyone believing there were hundreds of casualties in that parking lot explosion is either purposely lying or just stupid.

Sadly I think the fate of the hostages was pretty well sealed the day they were taken. Given the depravity of the attack on Israel I personally would rather die in a bombing than be a Hamas captive.

Well the Republicans in the house had to come to some consensus. I think the 8 who voted with the democrats to oust the speaker probably wanted Jordan and I suspect the majority had no intention of giving into them. I'm kind of surprised that they got things sorted out as quickly as they did.

I'm curious. Who did you think they would nominate?

A couple of observations related more to our society that we can draw from the events in Israel. Disarming your population is a bad idea. Israels gun laws prevented most people from having firearms unless they were police or military. An average person has to be permitted and then is only...

For the average Hamas member the goal of the operation was/is to kill or capture as many infidels as possible with zero regard to age, sex or nationality. For their leadership and those behind them, the goal is probably multi faceted. Create problems or completely derail the ongoing effort to...

Good listen. I really fear that the stupidity of a few members of the House is going to derail any chance that Republicans can make gains in 24. Why does it seem that over and over the Republican party will find away to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory? Sometimes it seem like the national...

Just when you think the Republican party can't find away to be more of a cluster f that it has been over the past couple years they find a way to go above and beyond. :A Bonk:

Well, my 2023 bingo card doesn't have a space for queen whatabe running for office but there also wasn't one for PMC leader attempts overthrow of Russian government. So WTF knows what will happen. :E Shrug:

Obviously Feinstein was left of most of us on this forum, especially on 2nd Amendment issues but whoever Newsome finds to replace her will even be further to the left. One only has to look at California politics to realize he has plenty of candidates to pick from.

And only an impenetrable idiot would believe the information coming out of the Russian MOD. Your sub is in the same shape as your "3 day invasion", shot full of holes.

There's a word used for those who take money for sexual favors...hmmm if I could just remember what it is :E Head Scratch:

Russia is a huge country and while their military is getting hit pretty hard from time to time they have the manpower and armament left over from the USSR to continue their little adventure in Ukraine for a long time unless there's some kind of political change in their country. They've had the...

You stated, "Nobody on this board has ANY influence in what is taking place". I would guess that applies to your thoughts as well.

It's depressing. If Putin is allowed to profit from this and rearm the west has signed up for a much larger conflict with Russia down the road. It's interesting to watch Poland, a country with much previous experience with Russia, arm themselves for what they see coming.

Only an idiot would think that making it illegal for law abiding citizens to carry handguns would have anything at all to do with criminals carrying handguns. No doubt criminals in NM are putting their weapons away until this ruling expires.

They won't have to steal the election if we run Trump as our nominee. He'll get his ass kicked all by himself.

Sometimes Russia appears to not know what's going on. The commander on the front might report what's happening truthfully UNLESS it puts him in a bad light and as this information goes up the chain of command reality is continually diluted until at the very top what is reported has little to do...

Had to look twice, I drive by that location daily.

No need to apologize, when dealing with the Russian government it's always a possibility that they are lying because they usually lie, it's ingrained in their personalities. I'm pretty sure he's dead but there's a 5% chance of some Russian Game of Thrones stuff.

Alex Baldwin is one of those entitled POS who are never responsible for the chaos they cause but always there to take credit when something goes right.

Wheels, one thing you should keep in mind is that Twitter is international in scope and there's no way to tell how many of those viewers are from other countries checking out the US soap opera. :giggle: As for the interview, Trump actually came off as rational when compared to the host. o_O

Very true. But scrolling on by is always an option too.

Biden and NATO's support of Ukraine has been half assed at best. When it became obvious that the Ukrainians were going to fight and fight well they should have been supported with everything they needed to kick the Russian's out of the country as quickly as possible. There have been theories...

Trump is a narcissist. He takes no responsibility for his actions when they lead to failure and he's convinced he's the smartest individual on the planet. His Presidency had some high points, his China policy, his supreme court picks, his efforts at cooling the North Koreans down and others. But...

When will the conflict in Ukraine end? I don't think anyone has the answer to that. It's obvious now that the west could have upped their contribution of weapons and training much earlier and that might have made a difference. It's also obvious that Russia has some serious logistical and...

Years ago I was in Paraguay and had a tooth ache. After putting up with it for the better part of a week I finally went to a dentist. A very attractive young lady who after looking at my tooth said I needed a root canal. I'd never had one and certainly never thought I'd have one in South...

The invasion was a shock to many in NATO who were convinced that nuclear deterrence made a conventional conflict with Russia unlikely if not impossible. And the result is a number of countries who are woefully unprepared for a conventional war. On the plus side this harsh wake up call has...

Putin is truly a master strategist.

It's being reported by an independent Russian media outlet (do those exist?) that In the Mogilev region of Belarus a military camp is being constructed which will hold 8000 Wagner fighters, approximately 200km from the border of Ukraine. Apparently there will be several camps. It is said the...

No one has suggested 35W. Where is Bob? :giggle:

You want an example of nazi's in Russia you need look no further than Wagner, named after Hitler's favorite composer and Dmitry Ufkin, a founder of the mercenary group who allegedly signs his correspondence with a double lightning bolt. Russia by it's actions, is more in line with Nazi ideals...

There are those in Russia who know the situation but sometimes I wonder if Putin is actually one of those. Or if he's told what they think he wants to hear and not the complete shit show that's the Russian military. We'll probably never know the answer to that. They talk about Ukraine stopping...

Trump can't deal with anything casting doubt upon his self perception of greatness. McEnany was a great press secretary, she certainly could present things with a great deal more clarity than her boss. Doesn't matter where he is in the polls, he's not going to be President again.

The term Nazi is thrown about a lot but is it defined by something written in a book or by the actions of a country? I would submit it is the later and if that is indeed the case then no country on the planet in 2023 deserves that label more that Russia. Russia as invaded a country without...

Anti government protests currently in Georgia (not the US one :giggle: ). Wonder how Putin is taking that? Be too bad if a few more of the countries/regions under his thumb decided they'd had enough of Russia's crap.
