As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But Iβm not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
I donβt think unconditional surrender is imminent.
"As the largest U.S. military hospital outside the U.S., itβs long been a β300-bed evacuation platformβ for surges, like during Iraq and Afghanistan. Either there are more wounded than the government is telling us about or the military is gearing up for boots on the ground. Or both."
- Janet Yawn
It's called fiscal conservatism, folks.
Gonna surf 'n turf the shit out of Iran, bro
You still friends with this guys MAGA?
Republicans Voters, you did say you loved Russia. You said stop helping Ukraine. You said you want Russia to win because they are more friendly to the USA. You still think that now?

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation
Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:
Canada is much smaller than the US, but Indonesia's population is like 280+ million people. I think an American culture that is actively anti-immigrant and encourages people to own guns "to protect themselves and their lived ones" relies on, and often encourages, a mass distrust of fellow citizens.

It is possible to recognise the Iranian regime is hideous, murdering their own citizens, and ideally would be replaced by a more democratic government, and that the US bombing a city of millions is a bad thing and starting an illegal war is really bad. You don't have to support either government. 1/
As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter
But wait! Trump is supposedly attacking Iran to close down its nuclear facilities?
THIS triumphant article from 2025 is still on the White House website
BTW, BBC news is WAY better than any of the US media outlets re the attack on Iran.
Imagine starting a major war with Iran over their nuclear program when this is on the official White House website.

Cover of Ice Geographies: The Colonial Politics of Race & Indigeneity in the Arctic. The cover features an abstract art piece by Darcie Bernhardt. The piece is titled Beluga Hunting and depicts a light pink, green, and blue marbled pattern. Forked green and white lines within the pattern evoke topographic striations.

This is a huge shift in how Canada and all Canadians feel about the US in 1 year!
are ICE recruits actually receiving the promised signup bonuses? Serious question, neither meant to be snark or sarcasm. I wanna know if those promises were kept.
