Man! If I'd been able to run that fast, I'd have played more baseball! I could hit/catch/throw, but I couldn't run!!Hell of a way to end you'r life

He's got his pants down in the city morgueFace down with his pants down. Better get used to that.
He was not killed. He was just caught.He's got his pants down in the city morgue
It looks like he’s in custody, not dead…He's got his pants down in the city morgue
Brent, I knew exactly who you were referring to using that term and so did most everyone else. Didn’t bother me in the least. Only fools are in denial about who they are and what they represent. The faux outrage by all the Sensitive Sallys is something to watch. The most radical zealots, especially within the Shiite subdivision, are truly mentally ill and suicidal- the believers in the 12 imams, the mullahs, the ayatollah and all their minions… currently organized as the IRCG in Iran. The Sunnis I’m most used to being around tend not to be that way at all, are conservative and prefer to keep to themselves. But even some of them have been radicalized by outside enablers like ISIS or Al-Qaeda. The ones I’m most leery of where I spend time and have family however are not necessarily a subset of Islam but are the rare few remaining NPA Communist/Maoist remnants who are an odd mix of the past.My denigrating comment was towards the Iranians and nobody else. It was others that took offense to that and turned into a generalization.
I never asked the guy how many he has killed. That's none of my business.
I asked him if he ever killed someone with a rag on the head. If so, he really has no right to try and admonish someone for using the term raghead. Makes no sense whatsoever.
I find it extremely hypocritical that people on this thread call Trump, various politicians, world leaders, myself, and more insulting names then rag head. I use the word and a bunch of people lose their shit.
I don't ever want to disrespect the military, or those who serve in it, but I'm not going to bend over and kiss anyone's ass either.
Everyone else has their opinion, I have mine. I don't apologize for what I believe in, or who I detest. That's my right, and it's not going to change.
And since you also live in the PI, you are no doubt aware of the MILF's on Davao IslandBrent, I knew exactly who you were referring to using that term and so did most everyone else.

And it doesn't take much from me to get my forum antagonists foaming at the mouth, along with some of the forum lickspittle's and their Emojis.Brent, I knew exactly who you were referring to using that term and so did most everyone else.

Great post! I do wish you could also see the need to greatly diminish Iran’s ability to fund proxies and the need to setback their nuclear ambitions, no matter the short term impacts to energy prices.It may be interesting to explain the european narrative to the Ukraine war..
Trump and his admin. have repetedly tried to make peace by presenting peace plans. These have been answered with alternatives from both Europe and Russia.
The european narrative is that the parts are so far from each other that securing peace is futile.
This war will be setteled on the battlefield and the probable outcome is a frozen conflict aka Korea.
This will sour western - russian relationship for many years to come.
We believe that Russia will rearm after the Ukraine war finish and threathen the weak link, maybe the Baltic states. The Baltic area has become a hot spot area after Sweden and Finland joined NATO..much because of the Kaliningrad military base.
There is a reason for the US investing heavily in an airbase in southern Norway..amongst other things.
US nuclear attack subs also regularily visit norwegian ports..
So for us europeans, Ukraine is a proxy who in many ways wage war against Russia on our behalf. It is a fact that Russia consider itself to be at war with the west over Ukraine. Let that sink in for a moment..
Therefore the EU has granted Ukraine €90 billion to keep them afloat. In addition to that much military aid are being provided by the european states and ukrainian troops regularily train in western countries.
We need to buy time to rearm (it is happening) to counter the russian aggression.
The presence of US troops will always have a calming effect on Russia. The only thing they fear right now is american military might..
I think Europe need to reimburse a significant part of the cost of having US military presence.. in addition to rearm. That will make american presence more palatable for your politicians.
To put it bluntly, both Europe and the US benefit from Russia bleeding dry in this war. They have probably lost 1.3 million troops, dead or wounded..an insane number.
That shows with all clarity what they are capable of and willing to sacrifice to reach their goals.
Another possible outcome is financial collapse in Russia and social unrest. Reagan broke the Soviet Union financially remember.. It worked.
What we do not understand is why Trump don´t pressure Putin harder.. This is one of the reasons matters sour between Europe and the US..
You are loosing many valuable defence contracts to Europe and for instance Korea over this..
Without saying too much, but saying enough that is obvious to anyone paying attention…
I’m 99.999999% certain roverandbrew has put more terrorists in the dirt than the rest of the membership of this board combined…
And there are a number of noted/known former military special operations folks on this board… I’m including what I suspect most of them have been involved in..
Hardly a sympathizer…
Rather a vetted hero (medals (note the plural) for valor in combat) that has shed blood more than once eliminating terrorist enemies of our country..
I made one of my rants awhile back, and said that IMO that one of our greatest dangers was teachers and teachers unions. Just confirming my point of view, they indoctrinate our kids with their leftist ideology. Some things shouldn’t be run by socialists leaning organizations.the power of propaganda never ceases to amaze me....here is a former teacher, whacked out.
