More on Trump

It is a Trump world and as the Modi saying goes

“Aab Ki Baar Trump Sarkar”

and as the Stump for Trump Sisters say

"Get on the Trump Train or get the hell out of the way"

Rock'n'roll

Miss do you really think it would be possible to arm the women only and not their male allies at the same time? You are berating Lweji for a supposed lack of realism but you really should look deeper into your own ideas.

Squishy? There are women only regiments you know. Sure, arm the men too, why not?

Yes Claig, but I would say the English translation is more like political correctness is not stopping your free speech rather than your version which is in the imperative form.

"Sure, arm the men too, why not?"
Well, for me it depends on the exact circumstances whether this is a good idea or not (it often will be) and is not a straightforward decision for a number of reasons.

Misss, did you miss lweji's post where she said: "I'm all for supporting the Yazidis. In general. Not just the women."

Apparently that kitten-karate works in real warfare according to Lweji Grin

I believe a Russian military guy once quoted 'women make the best snipers'

I'm all for decent rifles if the girls are game

I never saw Lweji suggest using Karate against Isis. She just mentioned some experience she has which challenged your view of pathetic lefty females. I didn't see any posts accusing you of being white supremacists or racists either, but you keep lying about that too.

You are failing to see that I mentioned my combat training to point out that you were not talking to fluffy "talk to them" women here, as you were suggesting that the "lefties" think that all they need is to tell ISIS not to rape. Clearly a silly comment, or snidey, who knows?

At any point did I say that hand to hand combat is enough to fight ISIS, although funnily enough pretty much every single soldier in any army also trains hand to hand combat. I bet the Yazidi women also have it. Because sometimes bullets run out, or you simply get too close.

You may also get your ideas right with claig. She, at least, isn't as silly as to claim that left wing women expect no military action against ISIS. As pointed out, she often accused Hillary of being hawkish.

Also, apparently, there's no left or right. Check it out.

Sorry I didn't realise that personal experience of fighting terrorists was needed to express an opinion on the Middle East. How many terrorists have you single handedly brought down Misss?

Except women have less muscle mass than men. Chances are these men will wipe the floor with them. Terrorists know their stuff too

Is this Schrodinger's left wing woman?
Simultaneously:
Is fluffily against all violence and wants to resolve conflict by talking to ISIS.
and
Horrible hawk who wants to declare war on as many countries as possible for nefarious reasons linked to the dubious plans of the global elite.

Given your recent comments.....
If one candidate had favoured keeping America engaged militarily, while the other had opposed military action, especially in the Middle East, which one would you have considered to be more realistic?

.....would provide support to Arab and Kurdish forces on the ground. She proposes working with Arab nations in the region to provide resources for the battle against the terrorist network, sharing intelligence with European allies and coordinating air attacks
She stole your ideas Misss!

Meanwhile, General Flynn's appointment is not going down well:

www.salon.com/2016/12/20/michael-flynn-is-making-national-security-council-staffers-want-to-leave/

There are multiple reasons cited as possible cause for NSC staffers’ concerns about Flynn, including his affinity for conspiracy theories, his connections to the Russian government, and even reports that he inappropriately shared classified military information with foreign military officers while serving in Afghanistan (a subsequent Army investigation determined that Flynn’s actions had not posed a risk to national security).

Flynn’s conspiracy theorizing was apparently so egregious that employees at the Defense Intelligence Agency dubbed them “Flynn facts.” His most recent conspiracy theories includes claiming that Islamic terrorists infiltrate the Mexican border using Arabic-language signs, claiming that Democrats have imposed Sharia law in parts of Florida, and sharing a tweet (since deleted) suggesting that Hillary Clinton was involved in child trafficking. Flynn also raised eyebrowswhen he appeared as a guest speaking on Russia’s state-owned television network Russia Today, even sitting at Vladimir Putin’s elbow during an opulent dinner party held by the network.

You clearly know little about fighting.
Speed and flexibility can go a looooooong way.

I must have imagined the times I got bigger and more experienced men in a guillotine choke.
And the time I gave a much heavier man a bloody nose.

But, yes, for any man or woman, avoiding getting into a fight is the best. Guns or no guns.
Sometimes you'll have a riffle against a machine gun. You need to use your brain and know when to engage or how best to use what you have.
