Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It will be interesting to see how well that goes over with the isolationist Trump supporters who liked the idea of non-involvement abroad and thought that that was what they were getting with Trump.

It sounds like Tucker Carlson, for example, which has been playing to the isolationist crowd, has been pretty critical of activity in Iran.

They'll just suffer from broken spines from bending over backwards trying to explain how they always supported the idea of going to war again and how its the woke libtards who are in the wrong.

How does one say: “America is beyond fucked” but in MAGAt speak?

Long live the draft yanks. This is Vietnam, but way worse and just like Vietnam, you’ll loose this fucking war as well, because for all your chest thumping, you absolutely suck at war.

Battle group, USS Tripoli, is 2400 marines and 2600 sailors spread around 5-8 ships.

Iran will heavily commit to a Waterloo event, and 99-1 that will be outcome if they go beyond Oman, and they are still strikable in Oman.
