took part in Hog's Breath group chat in Moscow and maybe electronic ins into all the
other devices that were in the high school level
group chat that drunky McHog's Breath was having.

Malcolm also said that President Krasnov is looking @ attacking Iran with B-2s to divert attention from this fuck up

BTW and what excuse do we.have to attack
IRAN do we have? Iran has a nuclear program.
... which they started after Trump scrapped the deal John Kerry and Erine Moniz got down under President Obama

The source, Institute for Science and International Security director David Albright, told the Post that Natanz’s nuclear centrifuges would not have been damaged because they were built with shock isolation.

Additionally, the Post learned from Albright that the earthquake was not caused by any tests from the facility, seeing as the shocks were felt too deep in a populated area that was known to have deep fault lines.

from the ears (when done right) Republicans are the waxy build up but not as smart.

BTW one of the very best men I have ever met in my life was the Republican governor of PA Ray Shafer. He was the brother of our next door neighbor years ago. He liked to play ball with the neighborhood kids and he for some reason liked to talk to me when I was fishing in
the little lake behind our houses. His kind is long gone. He was for education civil rights, the environment, unions, and infrastructure that helped the citizens of PA.

Really?

Because I think they and trump should be frogmarched to jail without bond and held until their trial. They used Signal at the urging of musk when we the taxpayers paid for a safe system. They had apps designed specifically for group communication. They literally opened the door to our intelligence on the world and said walk right in; take what you want.

For all I know , the door is still open. Wonder who is at the cafeteria at this hour.

And just because no founding father imagined an enemy/foreign asset stealing the election this country seems to be twiddling its thumbs. Ho de ho. Guess I’ll go golfing this weekend, right after I lift sanctions on my buddy Vlad.

This is a chickenshit way to run a country. I have never been more disgusted in my life.

Wed Mar 26, 2025, 01:31 PM

The Houthis are proxies for Iran. They have illegally been shooting at innocent shipping in the Red Sea for a time now. Those are acts of war which deserve to have a response. Biden did respond, but was restrained. I think he was appropriate. rump, however, has been itching to play with the USs military might and planned to entertain himself with bombing the sh*t out of them. And he did, although we don't really know how successful we were at it.

Meanwhile, Israel is adament that Iran has to go. They see Iran as part of the bigger problem, or THE problem. Biden wisely kept us out of a major war with Iran, but the Orange Turd doesn't care about anyone but himself, so he's eager to send us to war. Especially if it distracts the increasingly restless US natives from a domestic uprising, which is coming.

We could have controlled Iran but for tRump's failed policies. Trump is a bully, and he only knows how to punch, not diplomacy. Remember, no one has to actually like each other to step down and move in the same direction. I truly hate how Iran treats its citizens, but avoiding a nuclear fight seems best at the moment. And, Iran is friends with Russia and sells to Russia, which makes it doubly hard. I think that's why Biden was very careful, not because he was too soft.

crosshairs since chimps days. After the illegal and misguided invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, we lined both borders with Iran with military bases. Probably still trying to get back what we stole when the Shah was overthrown.
That is why I don't see our support of Israel as being altruistic or even Christian Nationalist dominionism. I think for the US it is pure greed. From what I understand the Palestinians and Iranians are ethnically tied and Iran is still hostile to Israel. So the hostilities are a twofer. Israel gets to weaken an enemy and the US has justification to seize Iranian oil.

The most radical hypothesis I have read to date (and his documentation was meticulous so I didn't dismiss it, but it is a bit far to easily accept) is that Massad was behind 9/11 so we would weaken the enemies of Israel. In this day and age who knows?

Copilot Answer

Kayfabe is a term used in professional wrestling to describe the portrayal of staged events as "real" or "true." It involves the tacit agreement between wrestlers and fans to treat the scripted storylines, rivalries, and characters as genuine, despite being staged. The term has its origins in carnival jargon and has been widely used in wrestling since the 1980s.

for lying us into two wars for their fun and profit. Cheney's near bankrupt company Haliburton, found itself $39.5B richer after all of its no-bid contracts. They tortured people, they broke every international law they could find. Why dafuq do they always get away with this shit?

Republicans are the reason for EVERYTHING that is wrong with us. How many lives have they burned with their BS wars, Covid-19 lies, and mistreatment of the poor? How much of our treasury have they robbed with NOTHING to show for it? Those fkers don't ever build anything. They only know how to tear down what we have worked our entire lives to build.

We are the richest and most powerful country in the world, yet we don't have national healthcare for everyone like every other civilized nation (fking Rwanda has national healthcare!), all education from Pre-K to graduate school is being gutted unless you're in the Xitian cult, the Kennedy Center is controlled by a home-grown fascist, all of our mainstream news is propagandized and we are being LIED TO on a daily basis.

I've read previous reports of NATO nations questioning whether or not they should share intel with the United States due questions about Trump's loyalty. I'd assume a security breach of this magnitude would make them even more unlikely to share intel, which makes the US even more vulnerable.

While I wouldn't blame NATO for not sharing secret information, and actually hope they don't because it's likely to get to Putin, I feel for those serving in our military who will now be more vulnerable than ever.
