The truth? You can’t handle the truth!
Sugar? Yes? No? Maybe alcohol, just fermented by wheat & sugar.Your fascism is proven by your words alone. I’ve just clearly identified it.
You haven’t identified a single thing I’ve said that you believe to be factually inaccurate. All you’ve managed was to disagree on the tactics used. You made some explicit claims regarding the usefulness of the tactics. But, even then you failed to notice (much less defend) your implicit claims. For example, implicit in your claims that “studies” or whatever show that other tactics are more useful in combating terrorism is the claim that the military, State Department & CIA are either unaware of any such works (totally ignorant) or for malicious reasons known unto them alone seek to make everything worse.
Drones are a non-issue. The number of “Innocent” people killed by drones is in the hundreds, and that’s over a period of 12 years — all of Bush’s 8 years plus Obama’s first 4 years. They’re firing missiles designed to be able to take out tanks & structures. They’re targeting people who make a point to locate themselves and their assets amongst civilians. Military ordinance is going off in houses, shops and on open roads and “Collateral Damage” is still kept to a minimum.
Secondly, everywhere that drones are deployed is in effect a war zone. There are existing conflicts raging. People are dying by the thousands, and have been for years. Yet every photo of a dead woman or child you see is not only miraculously killed by drones, but U.S. drones. Every major power on the planet used drones, yet every last photo of a dead child was killed by a U.S. drone…. and you know this because they leave watermarks or something.
Yemen is beyond you. I won’t even try to explain it. Pakistan is easy to grasp: Pakistan has nuclear weapons, long range missiles to carry them and very hostile relations with India, including religious tensions. In addition to this, the batshit crazy religious psychos being fought in Pakistan are made wet at the idea of nuclear jihad against Israel (The U.S., Europe), directly or through surrogates. These psychos win in Pakistan and there is a nuclear war. Period. Nuclear weapons will be detonated. Millions (at a minimum) are going to die, and even that BEST CASE SCENARIO is entirely dependent on such a conflict not widening, not spreading to other nations.
Get over yourself.

I think you’re crazy if you want us in Syria.
Look: The United States is always attacked for everything it does and everything it doesn’t do. Thus, no matter what course we choose the assorted revolutionaries, poseurs & professional contradictionists are going to complain. We might as well chose what’s easiest & cheapest for us.
…in this case that would be NOT getting involved.
The government of Syria sucks. At the same time, the lunatic religious wankers that would replace the present government would also suck. From our perspective it’s a damned if you do/damned if you don’t situation, but at least if we don’t get involved we’ll save a lot of money & bother.
So screw Syria. There are no “Lines” to be crossed, not as far as any of us are concerned.

This is actually something of a lie of omission.
Yes, Reagan did arm & train what we now call Al Qaeda back in the 1980s, but it wasn’t just Reagan. Years before the U.S. supplied the Afghan rebels with stinger anti-aircraft missiles they were already touting British ordnance.
That never gets mentioned, does it?
And the U.S. aid came at the direct insistence of the Saudi Arabian government. You know, the same Saudi Arabia which was home to 15 of the 19 terrorists who conducted the 9/11 attacks. That Saudi Arabia.
And, please, long before Afghanistan & Reagan you could find middle eastern terrorists armed to the teeth with eastern-block weapons and explosives. Most of it came by way of other governments like Syria and Libya. I guess you can pretend all the communist governments were ignorant of the final destination of their weapons, but only if you’re a goddamn fool.
Now go back to pretending the world is oh so black & white, so binary, where the U.S. invents terrorism and everyone else are victims.
It’s pathetic, but you all do it so well…

“Saudi Arabia takes baby steps to a whole new level. This week, a leading Saudi newspaper reported that women in the desert kingdom are now free to ride bicycles. Female riders must still wear head-to-toe coverings, be accompanied by a male guardian, and ride in restricted areas and only for purposes of “entertainment”—not transportation. But don’t sweat the small stuff, right? The feminist revolution has begun.”

New coronavirus is potentially more deadly than SARS
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong warned that a new coronavirus that has emerged from the Middle East has the potential to be deadlier than the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus, which kiled 774 people between 2002 and 2003. The Global Post reported Friday that the University of Hong Kong team published their results this week in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
In a nut shell: It’s a communicable disease, and it’s popped up in Saudi Arabia, where some 8 million densely-packed pilgrims are processed every year… before being redistributed all across the globe.

Riyadh, Ar Riyad, Saudi Arabia
Do I actually have a follower in Saudi Arabia?
I find this VERY hard to believe…

Mainstream feminism illustrated perfectly.
yes.
Three real-life examples please.
Thus far, the only “Crime” of white feminists yet identified was their saying that a woman of color shouldn’t be in a physically abusive relationship…. and they were right about that.
The Muslim world is sexist. It’s over the top sexist. I know you don’t want this to be true but so what? It is true. Now do something about it OTHER THAN blaming some “white people” for noticing….

Coronavirus: is this the next pandemic?
Last September a doctor in a Saudi hospital was fired for reporting a new, deadly strain of the coronavirus. Now, with half of all confirmed cases ending in death, the World Health Organisation has issued a global alert and scientists are preparing for the worst
The problem here is Mecca. It doesn’t just attract 9 million visitors each year, but it really packs them tightly together before dispersing them across the globe.
Sure there’s lots of places that attract tourists, and even international tourists. But not like this. New York, London, Paris or Rome — none of them pack people together like Mecca, none are a better breeding ground for a pandemic than Mecca.
