Nationalists and Communists putting aside their differences?

It’s a sign that there’s much bigger trouble ahead.

President Donald Trump threatened to destroy all of Iran’s power plants, oil wells, and desalinization plants

Most likely Iran has a secondary strike capability. Israel and GCC also have desal plants, you know.

“Hitler says he will widen his invasion of Poland”

A back deal with Russia is happening somewhere.

To put it simply, the US did lose more troops and equipment in 1991 and 2003 than currently, but also achieved their objectives, so to speak.

Then again, the 1991 war was a real war with with close to 1 million troops taking part. Currently, what we have is basically two countries lobbing missiles at each other.

Ironically, in 1991, it was the US that was using drones against Iraq. Tables have kinda turned.

The second one? Nope, the country pretty much was in shambles already.

Coalition losses during 1991 Desert Storm were around 300. For the 2003 invasion and occupation, the losses were of about 5000. Though I think they lost more aircraft during the former.

Religious doctrine has always been interpreted for convenience.

7000 US soldiers died on Iwo Jima, and nearly 20,000 were wounded.

Which is kinda interesting since they have around 10k troops deployable troops. One wouldn’t want to be in the situation where the US “wants to save lives lost resulting from a ground invasion”…

Pope Leo XIV rejects claims that God justifies war

Not sure what was expected here. The Pope hasn’t sanctified any war since the Crusades. Mores probably changed a little bit since then.

Not to be that guy, but are there any catholic leaders in the epstein files?

Surprisingly not (from what is accessible). I guess Epstein wasn’t really the religious type, and also that he was Jewish.

Its just common sense, the Russians also have LEO satellites. Why would they not take pictures of the bases of their rival’s bases?

Honestly kind of surprised it’s not higher.

The increase is mostly due to naval assets and US Marines deployments. They can’t deploy much more lest they want to expose their other positions.

Israel Is Dropping 2,000-Pound United States made Bombs on Densely-Populated Tehran

Just adding that little precision, although day by day this gets more obvious.

the western variety is shorter an wider

That’s where I thought this was going.

but you’ve got to admit it does have some kind of strange power to drain all the human intelligence out of the minds of business and political leaders.

Most useful AI application.

Just two months ago they were killing thousands of protestors.

If they killed thousands in a few days, how many were killed during 4 weeks of US bombing?

More simply, just kowtowing to the US.

Saudi Arabia urging US to ramp up Iran attacks

And with what are they supposed to do that? The loss of its refueling aircraft at Prince Sultan airbase is going to make a deep cut in US air superiority capabilities. If Saudi can’t even protect the base, then America won’t be able to do much to protect its Arab puppets.

Some, but not the largest.

Ironic when the roles are reversed.
