Maybe the Italians should strike again until their navy actually protects the flotilla

Since the Iraqi military was either defeated on the battlefield or surrendered and US troops pulled Saddam out of a spider hole to drag him off for trial and execution, I’d call that a bad analogy.

I admit I only know the highlights. It would make sense for Hegseth to focus on appearances over substance.

He’s exhausted, his job is basically begging foreigners for money and weapons, and his family has been in hiding the whole war.

Hard to say he’s running the war badly considering that Ukraine still exists 3 years later when most outside observers were wondering if Ukraine would last 3 days.

I mean, there was tons of “we’re invading American Cities and Fighting the Enemy within” bullshit too.

Damn, that was an incredible amount of boot you just licked. Trump and Hegseth are going after people for Political Disloyalty. But to answer part of your bad faith question, Americans remain Americans regardless of being in gangs or being black. And terrorists/talibans/cartels are NOT the people they’ve been brutalizing with the new Gestapo.

Not entirely true. Huge numbers of leftists own guns, it’s mostly liberals/centrist that drank the gun prohibition koolaid. Look what it’s got them? Cause it’ll never happen here, remember? Oh, whoops. I see people realizing their mistake most quickly with black people; black panthers and other community defense groups in black neighborhoods have been making a come back. Pray more people get on the band wagon. And if you can’t legally own guns, there are alternatives. Crossbows, compound bows, muzzle loaders. Being armed in some way is the best way to keep your communities safe from outside violence.

What Putin wants is to normalize his provocations while driving a wedge between NATO members he can intimidate and those he hopes in invade someday.
