@Vin53 It‘s so cute how the isolationist Maga crowd - Charlie Kirk or Matt Gaetz for instance - were just forced to deliver a 180 in their spin 😂 a bunch of tools

@Vin53 The new chip is installed.

@CedricH and Armenia held parts of modern Turkey that was allotted to it by Serves, then removed without their consent with Lausanne.

The amusing parallell though is the glorious west was all for the independence of Bosnia and Kosovo (and rightfully so), but when happens to people in MENA who can't be used for oil, they don't matter.

Also - fun fact, before 1918 there was never an Azerbaijan north of the river Aras until 1918. It refere to a region in Iran. Pan-Turkists in modern Azerbaijan used the name to try to make claims on Iran.

@basilfawlty89 I think I’ve mentioned it before, and I‘ll mention it again. I would’ve been in favor of a Nato-led, humanitarian intervention to end the First Nagorno-Karabakh war (1988-94) so that a negotiated settlement could’ve taken place with a permanent Nato presence in Karabakh to protect the people, the cultural heritage and the political autonomy of Nagorno-Karabakh.

But these are complicated issues and keep in mind that it took the US and Nato a while before they finally intervened in Bosnia, after 3 years of bloody, even genocidal, inter-ethnic, inter-communal fighting.

The main phase of the First Nagorno-Karabakh war war was over roughly three years after the dissolution of the USSR. Armenia, NK, supported by the Russian Federation won that round.

As for the League of Nation’s allotment. I‘m aware of it. It was, in fact, a just settlement. But Turkey successfully fought the allies, who weren’t interested in much more fighting after WWI, which led to substantial revisions to the Treaty of Sèvres.

@JonUK41 No, I want the bombing and the killing to stop. On both sides. I dislike them both. What are you trying to get me to admit?

@iamthe99 Admit that day to day life is better for humans in Israel than Iran.

@JonUK41 For humans. Iran. Israel is an apartheid state that does not treat all humans equally. And I’m including its treatment of Palestinian women in this. And that’s all I’m saying on the subject. As a human being, I would prefer to live in Iran rather than Israel.

@Vin53 😂 He‘s a weird bloke, isn’t he?

@TheBatQueen hmmmm

@TheBatQueen Joe Biden chose to surrender to the Taliban. Our military did not. And he did so against the advice of every leading military commander at his disposal. In doing so he also sacrificed the lives of 13 brave souls.

@JesseInTX One of the single-most tragic mistakes any US President ever made.

@TheBatQueen Their allies are diminished, that’s one of the reasons why the moment for this campaign was so opportune. I wholeheartedly agree with your first half sentence though 👍🏻

@TheBatQueen Russia and North Korea will do nothing. They’re weak and overextended as it is.

Hezbollah has been defeated last autumn. They‘re but a pitiful shadow of their former selves. Hamas is virtually extinct. What remains are a group of ragtag terror cells scattered and leaderless in the catacombs beneath the rubble in fewer and fewer sectors of Gaza.
The Houthis have been degraded by months of intense US-Israeli air strikes. They eventually begged the US government for a reprieve. However, should they fire a single missile or drone at US military installations, that reprieve would end instantaneously.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I hope it’s the long tormented Iranian people who will bring them to justice.

@CedricH amen.. the mullars and ayatollahs time is up

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I agree, their time has just run out.

@gol979 I certainly can‘t force you to behave like a man, so if you feel the compulsive need to spout your vile nonsense, be my guest.

@CedricH oh, you are so woke lol

@BabyLonia The IAF attacked a compound next to the consulate which housed a high ranking Iranian military-intelligence official who was actively planning and coordinating ongoing attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah et al on Israel at the time. That made him a legitimate target and any Iranian response to that targeted assassination against the State of Israel, therefore, wasn’t covered by self-defense. Neither was Iran‘s October attack. If you harbor terrorists who are at war with Israel, you open yourself up to precise, proportionate, and legal attacks aimed at these specific individuals such as Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Unless, of course, you think it was illegal for the US to go after the Taliban post-9/11 for sheltering and otherwise aiding Al Qaeda.

@CedricH wow. Ok it’s clear you believe Israel is and always has been the victim, and that you legitimise the genocide in Gaza. There’s nothing more to say.

@pentagrammom yes 2 for $0.99

@MasterLee not assimilated so not an issue for me specifically

@pentagrammom good then grocery shopping is unobstructed

@Zonuss 😳😧 you might be right! This is all a part of an elaborate ploy to distract us from what really matters. The Epstein files…

@CedricH Yes it does matter. Because if we find out that this Election was a fraud and that Epstein and Orange were together..it's over. Don't sleep on Musk.
There is more to come. You're not gonna be happy to see what comes next. Mark my words. ☺

@Zonuss your words are marked 😉

@Cierzo I guess I‘ll take that as a compliment coming from you.

@basilfawlty89 What can I say? The withdrawal in 2021 was both wrong and gratuitous, but more importantly, Obama‘s successful surge and counter-insurgency approach from 2009-2011 was needlessly cut short by him. By 2011 you had close to 100.000 US troops in the country. By 2016, that number had fallen to 9.000.


Afghanistan could’ve been won, but no President, including Bush, cared enough to appropriate enough time, resources and credible commitment to achieve whatever might pass as a strategic victory.

@CedricH buddy, America hasn't won a war since WW2.

@basilfawlty89 The US won in the Dominican Republic (1965), Grenada (1983), the Tanker War (1987/88), Panama (1989), the Gulf War (1990/91), Haiti (1994), Bosnia (1995), Kosovo (1999), Iraq (2003-2011), and the Counter-ISIS campaign (2014-2019), buddy.
