And Biden spent $230M on his floating pier to Gaza that did jack and shit for the Israel - Hamas war...now you care about money spent? https://www.reuters.com/world/bidens-gaza-pier-injured-far-more-troops-than-previously-known-2025-05-07/ I also see the Houthi statement has been unconfirmed by anyone in the administration...maybe it's true, maybe not. If it true (big IF) then I'd argue the administration has chosen poorly and needs to restart the air campaign against the Houthis if they manage to land another missile in Israel. I also don't believe if they keep shooting at ships, of any nation, that the current POTUS will just sit by and allow it to happen. Again, fuck with us and we'll fuck you up. "Tail between our legs"...sounds like you don't have a super accurate read on the current situation...I stand by my previous posts.

Hope there's a few rungs left on the escalation ladder to nukes, but the Indians did us a solid by removing this shitbag from the earth. Abdul Rauf Azhar killed American reporter Daniel Pearl, and justice has finally been served...wish we had done it, but I'll take it.

Some potentially good policy coming out. If he follows through with increasing the top tax rates, that will be a huge win for the vast majority of society. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-urged-speaker-johnson-raise-175235463.html

Quite possibly I wonder if they would use us and a hypothetical F-35 acquisition to get the Russians to give even more on their 35/57/75s

lol and now we "negotiate" a cease fire between the US and the Houthis that doesn't include Israel. YGBSM https://allisrael.com/houthi-rebels-clarify-that-ceasefire-with-u-s-does-not-include-israel-will-continue-to-act-in-support-of-gaza you guys are right, this isn't rocket surgery. It's just complete stupidity. We spent 1 billion https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-operation-houthis-cost-1-billion-rcna205333 striking the houthis, didn't dislodge them in any meaningful way, dumped 3 super hornets into the red sea, pulled back with our tail between our legs, and Israeli ships are still going to be shot at. Maybe a 'real operator' can explain it to me but this looks almost as successful as our Afghanistan withdrawal

Almost pulled the trigger (STS), on the Chiappa M1-9 Carbine in 9MM but several videos online show it jamming a lot. Anyone try one?

A surprisingly good article and not what I was expecting from a "lifelong liberal from the San Francisco Bay Area"... Guns in America: A liberal gun-owning sociologist offers 5 observations to understand America’s culture of firearms

Heads up they have a new 215 version dated May of 2025

Juxtaposed against our decision to kick Turkey out of the Fat Amy club for their decision to shop at the other retailer...could generate some interesting rebuttals.

Most likely.

Back at it this morning.

My Opinion on this subject is the Democrats ultimate goal of opening the border was to flood the country with millions of new and perpetual DEMOCRAT VOTERS. Period. They saw what happened in the 2016 presidential election , when Trump won by a slim margin and wanted to insure that would never happen again! So, as others have said, they had no issue allowing people to illegally enter the country, but suddenly are all about following legal proceedings for each and every Illegal alien in order to be deported! Again, the courts can’t handle this flood of cases, so these illegally imported Democrat voters will be in our country for years to come, able to do whatever they please, but more importantly, They will be around to VOTE, and WHO DO YOU THINK THEY WILL VOTE FOR? Fast forward to 1:11:38

Fuck Pakistan and its terrorist sharia state. India all the way. Time for Trump to solidify India as the new Ally in the region, something we should have done decades ago.

Related to the India vs Pakistan conflict https://www.twz.com/air/trump-offers-f-35-to-india IDK, seems like a lot of risk to sell to them, they are not an enemy but not exactly a friend, no slight against India but they keep themselves nonaligned for reasons so there are reasons to keep them at arms length

Roger that, the PAF is saying it was J-10s shooting PL-15s that got the kill Chengdu stock up 20% on the news of it All of these different conflicts are riffing a bit historically to the Spanish Civil War in the 30s. Surprised / Not surprised it was a Rafale and not a 29 or 30, Rafale is their most capable so it probably went in first on night 1 but it’s got SPECTRA and the French are really good at EW, hopefully something will make it to open source to understand This will light a fire under them to get 5th gen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Omega?

This is very much a good thing. The number of issues folks who suffer from gender confusion cause in the military makes absolutely no sense as to why they should be serving. They should have never been given the exception by Obama and then Biden.

Well, the coherent thought is "you fuck with us and we'll fuck you up". AQAP was actively planning, inspiring, and executing external operations against Americans...we left the Houthis alone because they weren't bothering us. In fact, Houthis and AQAP fighting each other, when it happened, was enjoyable to watch because that was less AQAP to worry about. Since the Houthis are now attacking an ally (granted, a non-treaty one, but stated as a policy position for every president since 1947), taking civilian commercial ships hostage, and threatening the economic status of the world (again...BAM is a critical chokepoint and economic security is a part of national security)...yeah, the Houthis made themselves a valid target for American street justice. In fact, you could argue they're a more valid target than Iraq in 1991 was...Houthis still aren't the recognized government in Yemen and they are a client state of Iran (state-sponsored terror and whatnot). Again...this isn't rocket surgery.

Indeed and it was the first Rafale delivered to India.

I've NEVER heard the government say Muslims are viewed as "Baddie Brown People"...just the liberals on this forum.

Jesus the things that go over you guys' heads sometimes. The entire point of saying "baddie brown people" is that is how the government views them: just the latest group of troublemaker muslims that we're going to dehumanize and bomb into oblivion.. because reasons. So much so that in the signal chat operation Pete so generously shared with us, we leveled an entire apartment building to get one guy (show me where that is on the CDE tables.) And is the irony lost on literally everyone that to debunk my claim we've been bombing the Houthis to no avail for years @GKinnear says: (paraphrasing) "actually Obama was bombing the dudes on the other side of the gang war." ... and that makes it better how? If anything that proves the strategy is even more incoherent than we thought if we're bombing both sides of a gang war separated by only a few years. Ultimately, I'm not here trying to claim the Houthis are model citizens of the world or that disrupting global shipping is okay. But I'm seeing a lot of the "rah rah rah LFG rah rah rah fuck with my boats and get ready to find out" energy that has gotten us into multiple previous middle east boondoggles, so I think it's valuable to have some pushback against that mentality to balance the conversation. Especially when so far they seem to be fucking with our boats rather effectively. I'm not sure why we seem so intent on parking our boats within "fuck with me" range, handing the Houthis and Iran massive PR wins with each hornet that goes into the drink.
