So if they say it was a rescue mission for 1 guy and nothing else ... I guess the official story is 100% true. Tellin' ya, where is Ken Taylor when you need him? Desert [sic] Claw didn't work. | ||

The real mission was a Zionist plot to get Charlie Kirk. | ||

Actually they were filming the new moonlanding there, because they got confused and thought Artemis II was (supposedly) landing already. Anyway, the footage will be useful for Artemis IV. | ||

Iran has room to escalate in the Red Sea and vs Gulf state infrastructure and the threat is credible. The US can’t get go all in on war crimes but Hesgeth will lose his erection if they don’t do any. | ||

Considering he said he could take out all of Iran in one day, he’s doing this, totally not a war, very slowly. | ||

But in his current state, Trump might order to nuke Tel Aviv, the capital of the Straight. Praised to be Allah. | ||

Anyway Trump is mad at Kurds for being bad allies and the Kurds swear they don’t know what he’s talking about. | ||

The Trump admin believes that they gave a shitload of weapons to Kurds only for them to keep them for themselves. The Kurds insist that they have no idea what he’s talking about but they never got any weapons. It’s entirely possible at this point that a random guy in a van was in the area when a heavily armed CIA team went “you with the Kurds?” and panicked and said “yes” only to have his van loaded with guns. As likely as anything else at least. Anyway Trump is mad at Kurds for being bad allies and the Kurds swear they don’t know what he’s talking about. Didn’t they also say they don’t want the Kurds to get involved? I’m genuinely losing track at this point. At least Trump’s contempt for the UK is pretty consistent so I can parse that and hold it in my brain. I mean it’s still fucking stupid but it’s consistent In my time on this Earth, or at least my time being suitably cognisant of such things I can’t recall such consistent idiocy from a supposedly great power. Nice job America! It’s just embarrassing shit. Trump is simultaneously bitching that the UK isn’t getting more involved, but also saying the UK is shit and doesn’t have the assets to be useful anyway. Pick a lane. How is this lot holding the reins of power in one of the world’s superpowers? Good fucking god | ||

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04/03/business/jobs-report-economy so the people claiming the USA economy is in a disastrous state continue to be wrong. Trump claiming the economy is super-amazing & great just alienates everyone.. because that is BS as well. On April 07 2026 03:52 KwarK wrote: I see where you're going here. The real mission was a Zionist plot to get Charlie Kirk. they spent too much time explaining the whole elaborate operation. 7 planes over here... then we did this ... blah blah blah. When i ask you what colour the sky is and your reply is longer than Plato's Republic... you're lying. So I'm not buying that all that was to rescue 1 guy. They had the whole gang yapping about it. 155 aircraft for 1 guy? ya ok. they were up to something else. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/iran-war-latest-news-updates-2026/card/second-mission-to-rescue-u-s-airman-took-155-aircraft-fAUuZAYswIDtWyz1E0hJ Ken Taylor rescued 6 American hostages in Iran all by himself. 155 aircraft? LOL I'll be going to a Blue Jays game next week just for the Moose Beer. | ||

FYI I'ts not like I'm going to defend's Trumps character, he is a serial philanderer, friend of Epstein and he might have been with underage girls, but when it comes to proof there is even less than there is of Biden. Not like I expect an once of objectivity from you though. | ||

There were all sorts of challenges, from supply chain to skilled workforces that a gov mega factory wouldn't have been able to sidestep easily. I summarized it and again we are in agreement, I think the overall vaccine effort was very good but from the private sector, I think there isn't anything particularly commendable on the government side, it was acceptable but nothing that leaves me with a taste of competency, like when you see an emergency hospital built in China in like 2 weeks. | ||
