So I am supposed to believe Tucker, Alex Jones and the rest of the Eurasianist slop peddlers when they are saying the exact same thing as Ro Kanna, Schumer, Tim Walz and Alexander Dugin?
Hard pass.
@VerminusM Your genocidal country just lost another war. It sucks to be a loser. It is much worse to be a loser whom all the civilized world wants to see punished. And whom the USA wont protect forever.
I used to think Iran was pathologically obsessed with Israel, a distant county that has never done it any harm before it attacked Israel. Then I joined Twitter and met the Irish.
The fact that SO MANY otherwise intelligent Americans believe that Trump is just going to cave on the outrageous demands of the Iranian mullahs astonishes me.
I know I should be past being astonished, but the sheer pig-headed stupidity of it is at an all time high.
Trump truly and genuinely has caused a large portion of the America population to lose all reasoning ability.
It's almost supernatural.
The Royal Navy is no longer fit for service in NATO.
In August 2022, HMS Prince of Wales sailed out of Portsmouth to cross the Atlantic for joint exercises with the US Navy. She was the pride of the modern Royal Navy. A four-billion-pound aircraft carrier. The flagship of Global Britain.
She made it about 20 miles.
Then the propeller shaft coupling sheared & one of only two carriers in the entire British fleet limped back to port and spent the better part of a year in dry dock while American carriers did the work Britain had promised to do.
That’s the Royal Navy in 2026. It’s a museum with a TickTock account.
I’ve called the Canadian Navy a glorified Coast Guard but the UK can’t even keep migrant boats off its shores.
Nelson had over 100 ships of the line at Trafalgar. The fleet that fought WW2 had over 900 warships.
Horatio Nelson
John Fisher
Andrew Cunningham
David Beatty
Bertram Ramsay
Edward Hawke
George Rodney
Richard Howe
John Jellico
And First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill are all spinning in their graves.
If they were resurrected today they would each give British PMs the lash.
Today the Royal Navy has roughly 70 commissioned vessels. Maybe 15 of them are meaningful surface combatants.
It sounds marginally ok but any given day, a significant percentage are in dry dock, undermanned, or waiting for spare parts.
And China launches more tonnage in a quarter than the Royal Navy possesses in total.
You do not rule the waves. You do not rule the Channel. You rule a Wikipedia.
And it gets worse.
You don’t even rule the world’s imagination anymore. Master and Commander came out a quarter century ago and nobody’s planning a sequel.
Scooby Doo got a sequel, Jack Aubrey does not.
It’s sad. It’s pathetic.
But even more sad is the fact you don’t stand up and demand one. Neither does the former Navy commanding officer you call King.
You have decided to roll over instead.
All six Type 45 destroyers, the backbone of Britain’s air defense fleet, had to be pulled back for emergency refits because their engines lose power in warm water. Read that again.
They were practically useless in the Red Sea because they don’t have enough missiles and you didn’t buy the anti-air computers for their deck guns.
Your last few nuclear submarine launches went plop and instead of trying again or calling the American missile manufacturer to court… you shrugged.
This is the nuclear deterrent that is supposed to be the foundation of British sovereignty, the reason Britain sits at the UN Security Council, the last credible claim to great power status. It fell in the water next to the boat.
Your ancestors circumnavigated the globe in wooden ships powered by rope and canvas. You built a billion-pound destroyer that overheats off Bahrain.
Your frigates are too few to cover your own approaches. When Russian submarines transit the English Channel, the French Navy often shadows them because the Royal Navy cannot respond in time. The French. In your Channel. Protecting you.
Nelson ain’t spinning in his tomb. He’s in the Atlantic laughing at you.
Americans patrol the Gulf you depend on for energy. Americans keep Taiwan’s chips flowing to your factories. Americans are the reason the Houthis have not fully closed the Red Sea to British-flagged shipping.
We are happy to help until now. Until Starmer tried selling off our only base in the Indian Oceans then refused to let us land planes.
OUR OWN BASE
Yes he relented but only under pressure.
We will help protect your interests but on one condition:
DO NOTHING
No selling bases
No overflight refusals
No more dock denials in Gibraltar
No crazy ROE debates
No politicians demeaning us in debates
No threating Elon Musk
And no more 134 Royal Navy Admirals in cosplaying aboard your 15 broken warships.
Tell them to hang up their uniforms and go home.
OR STAND UP, make the king overthrow parliament & fund a proper navy
Fight for your birthright or F*ck off.
Your choice.
55 Democrats moved to invoke the 25th Amendment against Trump if he did not enter a ceasefire.
Trump successfully negotiated a ceasefire.
Iran just violated the ceasefire and launched missiles at five different countries.
Yet they’re still attacking Trump and not Iran.
Under cover of darkness, as the world analyzed Trump's post about ending a civilization, neocons moved quickly. They introduced an amnesty bill. While the world watched Iran, they planned to complete Biden's immigration plan. Never forget this treachery.
Me: Most likely it's not a genocide if the population grows over the time period in question.
Them: It's not about the numbers! It's about intent!
Me: So Hamas committed an act of genocide on October 7, 2023?
Them: No! Only 1,200 people died!
77+ million Americans voted for mass deportations. For some reason, 20 so-called “Republicans” who rode Trump’s coattails are having reading comprehension issues and think we voted for mass amnesty instead. If you’re co-sponsoring the “Dignity Act,” you should lose your job.
A very long and storied tradition:
> 1948: Truman forces the Israelis to withdraw after crossing the international border with Egypt, cutting off the Egyptian army in Gaza, thereby keeping Gaza occupied and allowing it to be deemed part of the modern borders of Palestine pursuant to the 1967 borders
> 1956: Eisenhower forces Israelis to withdraw from the Sinai
> 1973: Nixon and Kissinger prevent full encirclement of the Egyptian Third Army in the Sinai by an Israeli force that had crossed the Suez
> 1982: Reagan prevents ongoing operations against the PLO in Beirut and supports their evacuation from the area
> 1991: Bush Senior prevents Israelis from responding to Saddam's scud attack out of fear it would tear apart the coalition
> 2006: Bush Junior supports UN resolution 1701 that ended the Israeli campaign against Hezbollah and called for the armed group to withdraw from Southern Lebanon which they refused to abide by
That brings us to today.
Pretty much all media and political commentary regarding the Iranian mullahs leaves out the very important fact that they are all “Twelver Shias” and deeply devoted to the idea that someone known as the Twelfth Imam will arise from a well in Qom, Iran to precipitate the Apocalypse and convert the entire world (what is left of it) to Islam.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the mullahs’ likely purpose in trying to obtain nuclear weapons was to use them aggressively in order to precipitate the Twelfth Imam’s appearance, starting with the Great Satan and the Little Satan as their targets.
This was not like North Korea getting nukes, which, despite how crazy that country is, was an act of rational self-preservation for a diabolical regime. Iran was not seeking nuclear weapons for rational reasons.
Everything about Trump’s actions must be understood in this context.
It is quite possible that Donald Trump just saved humanity.
(Scoff all you want, but before you scoff, study up on the Twelver mullahs and the fanatical nature of their beliefs.)
@joekent16jan19 How about we restrain the Islamic terrorists? You know, the ones who blew your wife up.
How come you simp for the people who killed your wife in the name of Islam?
Traitor to your country and a traitor to your wife.
Shameful.
The Dignity Act....
These advocates seem to think we've never been down this road before.
Any "reward" or "benefit" granted to those who come to and remain in the country illegally only incentivizes the next generation to do the same thing.
They will do so resting comfortably in the knowledge if they simply hide long enough, their "reward" or "benefit" will come to them from the next generation of politicians who are too young to remember the mistake that came before them.
You allow tampons in boys bathrooms.
You allow Somali pirates to rip off hardworking taxpayers.
You aid foreign invaders who hate everything America stands for.
Might want to sit this one out, Tampon @Tim_Walz.
🚨 JUST IN: Pro-Iranian regime protestors waving PALESTINIAN FLAGS have taken to the streets of NYC, holding signs that say “JUSTICE FOR THE MARTYRS”
The amount of terrorists we have in our country in UNBELIEVABLE
We need 50,000+ more ICE agents.
Do you think the reason the Irish are so salty about Israel is because unlike the Irish, the Israelis actually managed to get all their land from the British?
