    No, that would be 'human nature,' not 'the schismatic nature of Christianity.'

    Maybe the most hilarious part of this is that, by and large, here in America Evangelicals are the conservative Christians. Catholics also make up a decent portion, but it definitely isn't the methodists, episcopalians, or other captured institutions where the core of christian cultural movement...

    What use is Antarctica for attacking civilian shipping, when they're right on top of the straits of Hormuz, and bloody close to the Red Sea?

    Sure, it'll 'only' cost tens or a hundred+ million, but that doesn't change the fact it serves them no useful purpose, and Islamic culture practically guarantees they're going to get a bunch of their people killed. Antarctica is far away from every single nation Iran might have to seriously...

    No, the real joke here isn't that they're playing chicken with the nations who have established claims there. ...It's the idea that Iran has what it takes to run a successful military base in the Antarctic. That is not a hospitable place, and while Iran isn't as hot a climate as the Arabian...

    Carlson, at least, is visibly just too far down the 'these people (American leftists) are so bad, whatever they're in favor of has to be bad, and whatever they're against has to be good' rabbit hole. To be fair to him, before Ukraine, I wasn't sure if there was anything the left could agree...

    This take is a competitor for 'most disconnected from reality' I've seen on this forum, and that's really saying something. Arab culture is a feuding, warring culture. There is a saying I've heard, because I grew up largely over there: "My tribe against your clan. My clan against your clan. My...

    Seriously, does the idea of describing what's in the videos you link cause you physical pain or something? At this point, it feels like you're just filling threads up with spam.

    It gets really annoying watching you people completely miss the point. Zachowon isn't saying that Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietname weren't wars lost. They were, and as he says, they were lost politically. The problem the US has is political, and acting like it isn't won't solve anything.

    Yeah, but the Saudis have equal or better military technology. This shit is an over-sized over-priced missile silo that will get one set of launches off if the conflict there goes hot. The Saudis will sink it in the opening engagements of the war.

    Sounds like a very useful tool for asymmetrical warfare, where you're facing an enemy without similar abilities to strike at a distance. ...Are the Iranians planning on taking their own turn at invading Afghanistan? 'Cause for everyone else, it's going to be a glorified target.

    I got about as far as him repeating lies about how George Floyd died, and then saying 'Israelis do this to Palestinians all the time.' What are you posting this for?

    That they haven't genocided those within their territory is a fair point. However, their catspaws in Hamas have explicit genocidal aims, and 'palestinian' culture has broadly instituted teaching their children that their objective is to exterminate the jews in Israel. That's a very serious...

    I couldn't find the old video, but here's something showing the attitude behind such things. That's nice, if true. What actually happened the last time Israel offered the Palestinians literally everything they wanted though, was the beginning of the Second Intifada. When Hamas stops making...

    First off, I kind of doubt that. Second off, there's a world of difference between kids saying something horrible like 'we should kill these people,' and delivering basically a sermon on 'I will die to kill these people.' Both are bad, one is far worse. Also, the key difference is that it is...
