He truly is a testament to the political left's commitment to truth.

...on vibes, not anything remotely connected to reality. Depending on what sources you believe, casualties inflicted ran somewhere between 20:1 and *200:1* in the US's favor, and the objective of the raid, hitting a group of the local warlord's leadership, was successful. It is a testament to...

And more people died to gang violence in Chicago than died in Iraq across the span of our presence there. But that somehow didn't become a political hot topic, did it? The Democrats were trying to turn the Iraq war into a defeat almost from the outset, and ultimately succeeded, largely through...

AAA studios are already crashing, especially since it's dubious that there will be a next generation of consoles. Without the specific market role of games designed for consoles, and the ubiquity of being able to sell across the whole world through Steam, smaller developers who have actual...

...You're really leaning very heavily on the assumption that Mexicans at large would care more about where the person taking the boot off of their neck comes from, than the fact that the boot is being taken off of their neck. Why? Do you have any grounds for it being other than a pure...

I was living in the Middle East during the invasion of Iraq. I got rained on by the results of the battlefield smoke. As to why the Iraqi war became unpopular? Same reason as the Vietnam war, at that point. Incessant attacks by leftist-controlled media. It wouldn't be until well into the Obama...

Huh? A Democrat trying to use government to control someone's sex life? Gasp!

...And we aren't talking about conquest or annexation of Mexico, in part or full. Stop making up imaginary positions to argue against. We went into all of these places to fight criminal cartels smuggling people and drugs across our borders, did we, hm? You aren't even talking about the same...

...You have some bizarre default 'America bad, everyone will hate America' mentality here. The South Koreans sure as shit were and are happy we went into their country, bombed parts of it, and are permanently occupying others. The South Vietnamese wished we'd never left. The Iraqis were...

...by the majority of people in Iraq and Afghanistan, especially at the outset. It wasn't until years of Obama mismanagement that things started *seriously* going to shit, and even then, I guarantee you most of the Iraqis would have rather had a permanent American military presence than what's...

"Before you remove a fence, always ask why that fence was placed there." Even most of the people who've been denying the degeneracy of homosexuality are starting to see why the fence was put there at this point.

...Why? Why would people who have suffered under the Cartels suddenly see them as heroes and patriots when someone actually brings the hammer down on them?

I'm still waiting for your reasoning on why the Cartels would be tough nuts to crack in the first place.

Okay, that's your assertion. Why? I've made two posts explaining the reasoning behind why I think the cartels would get crushed. What is the reasoning behind your much more pessimistic expectations? Because so far, it just seems to be a general-purpose doom-and-gloom attitude with no...

I waited a few days, until I actually had a decent amount of sleep in spite of the newborn, and didn't have urgent writing priorities, before coming back to reply to this. ...And it's almost completely incoherent. What on earth are you even trying to argue about with the last few paragraphs...

It's explicitly from X date onward. I think the date was in February

They already missed their window. Trump's in the White House now, not Biden, and if they try a move while he's there, they're going to learn *real* fast how much their Navy really is or is not worth.

When footage of Delta snipers dropping cartel member like flies, of air strikes blowing truck-sized holes in cartel buildings, of tanks and APCs rolling up to watch the border, is plastered all over the internet and news, you think the Cartels will become stronger? It's theoretically possible...

...beliefs!" This is almost never replied to with: "Are you saying that your personal moral beliefs judge my moral beliefs as wrong?" Also, IIRC groups like the Episcopal church *explicitly* rejected the Bible as a source of Truth in the late 20th century. Do you have anything on this, S'task?

Called it. Vlad can take what he can get now, which won't be everything he wants, or he can get less to nothing later.
