Mid-terms looming, approval falling, prices rising, wars ongoing - Ping Ping and Fu Shuang must be wondering what heinous crime they committed to be banished chosen as envoys of friendship between China and USA. 🐼🐼

Shouldn't that be "superintelligence"?

Now that the last US troops have finally left Iraq, on 30th September 2026, they can presumably be redeployed straight to Iran.

US invasion of Iraq, 20th March 2003; "concluded" after one month, of which twenty-six days were actual combat operations. So it has taken more than twenty-three years to bring that victory to a successful (??) conclusion.

In that war 4,419 US military personnel died, 486 in 2003, and 31,993 were wounded. How many decades is Trump's Iran fiasco going to need before it is resolved, and how many have to die or be crippled for his stubborn stupidity?

Rory Stewart noted in a TRiP I caught a bit of that Trumps goal is to rule the world. And he's doing that by telling other countries how they should govern.

Hardly "mind-boggling". Who wants to spend their hard earned spondulicks on going to a country that will ask about your social media content before you are allowed entry?

And in which you may be arrested at gunpoint by unidentified men not in uniform and without obvious ID, and imprisoned in an apparently random manner regardless of anything you may actually have done? Possibly without access to any legal representation, or your essential medication?

He is just like the dumbest school jock imaginable.

The future of warfare is going to be far more about intelligence (both in the literal and espionage sense), technology and strategy than 'who's got the toughest soldiers'. Morons like Hegseth think logistics, for example, is nerdy nonsense, when poor supply chain absolutely loses wars - look at the nightmare deployment of warships in Iran without consideration of feeding and taking care of naval personnel, or the apparent burning through of ammunition.

Xi and Putin must be laughing their arses off knowing their main potential rival is getting rid of all experienced people because they are the 'wrong' race, gender or sexuality, to replace them with bootlickers who don't know one end of a gun from another.

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year.

“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”

Absolutely, I'm not setting foot there with this regime in charge.

Neither am I, definitely not! I wouldn’t want to do anything at to support the current regime.

@Spandauer

Thanks for the new thread!

I'm here and reading but on a bit of information overload with the Midterms campaigning really ramping up. TV/radio ads, flyers in the mail & stuck on the door, watching the news, it's a bit much.

All I know is that Scrotus is certifiably insane and getting worse by the day, Kegsbreath thinks armed warfare is a video game and he has the only controller, and prices keep going up. In other words, business as usual.

WHY THE PILE ON ?

You lot should be ashamed of yourselves. There is Trump, gave up his billions to serve the people. He is donating his planet size brain to the greater good of humanity, and all you lot can do is moan and complain about stupid wee things. FFS, get a grip.

I mean look at the evidence. This Iran war thing is no issue, Trump has the oil to sell. He explained it all just a few months ago. The USA would supply the world with oil. He told us. Hundreds of empty tankers were on their way. He had the solution. But you gossips all doubt him. SHAME ON YOU.

And now, in the last few days, he is reinforcing that oil thing. That the US will supply the world. Look at this link to a news story I found in my research.... just freaking learn how to research... you commie leftist Marxist dumb people. Look at what this story says that proves you all wrong...

Trump seriously considering U.S. diesel export ban amid supply crunch (cnbc.com)

And I quote from that article. See.. Quote " PUBLISHED MON, SEP 28 20264:24 AM EDTUPDATED MON, SEP 28 20269:09 AM EDT"

You lot totally miss the positive from that article. IT GOT THE DATE RIGHT.

As for the rest of it. It does not matter. BECAUSE YOU LOT DO NOT UNDERTAND parallel universe 7D CHESS. Because in THAT chess, numbers, and the way they vibrate in conjunction with the planets and 5G waves, do matter. LOOK IT UP SHEEPLE.

Just look at your hero. Barack Hussein Obama . He could not even wear the right colour of suit FFS. As for the MUSTARD... EDUCATE YOURSELVES.

Wake up and smell the coffefve folks. Buy this. I did, and it has totally changed me. NOW I UNDERSTAND.

Trump ‘very seriously’ considering diesel export ban as global supply crunch worsens

Analysts warn an export ban could backfire, pushing up global diesel prices and potentially triggering higher U.S. gasoline prices as refiners adjust.

How stable genius is that ?

"Snap closure"

Addison Mitchell McConnell, Jr came up with that. The lefties say it was not him. They say it was his cousin, "Snapper" McConnell. But drink Trump Coffee, and the Truth is revealed.

Trust you lefties to spot that. I saw it too. But I did not mention it, BECAUSE I WAS TESTING YOU.

I knew you Marxist Thatcherites would take the word "CROWN" out of context.

Basically, whoever winds up Trump most each year he's in power should get the Nobel Peace Prize, just to fuck him off.

So that could imply that whilst there was a bunch of robbers stealing red diesel, there was also, at the same time, and within the area, another set of people, on instructions from Iran, plotting to blow up the air base? Each spooked the other and the bombers got away.

Eta Interesting.
