If you're an American and stupid enough to go to any of those places, you deserve what you fucking get.

You just know it's all "but we're all just one world, maaaaaaayuuuuuuuuun, borders are for, like, fascists, maaaaaayuuuuun" faggots.

China is a nuclear power. You're kidding yourself if you think we would ever kidnap their leader like we did Maduro. Just the chance that they would fire a nuclear weapon is enough to make the idea unreasonable.

I personally think that if we yonked Xi, others would take power and let up keep him.

Retards on reddit are saying this terrorist attack is expected because US attacked Iran without provications.

Without provocation, that's a good one.

Let's see here: Iran hostage crisis, Beirut barracks bombing and funding Hezbollah, funding and training militias to fight American forces in Iraq, bombing the USS Samuel B. Roberts, supplying IED material to Iraqi terrorists, the torture and murder of William Buckley, Khobar Towers bombing

And those are just some that I could rattle off from the top of my head. Those cocksuckers have been playing a long and bloody little game with us pretty much since they came to power.

My favorite Doomers over Iran are the smug chucklefucks who say "We're spending all this money half the globe away, but what are we doing about affordability in the US, HMMMMMMM?"

Which is hilarious because that a major justification for these strikes because of all the mess in shipping the Houthis have been making as Iranian armed and trained proxies.

And the military budget is already in flux, cash has already passed hands for manufacturers and the soldiers getting paid and the missiles and bullets are already paid for. The military budget isn't taking anything away from the other shit that needs to be done. Not to mention Trump still needs Congress to work with him, they can't even get voter ID done because some retarded RINOs are holding up the vote.
 
Melania Trump becomes the first FLOTUS to open the U.N. Security Council, and gives condolences to the service members killed during Operation Epic Fury.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't know if this is passing the blame but the official story being "We had to do it since Israel was gonna attack anyway" is one hell of a piss poor reason to start bombing Iran. I get wanting to save lives, and that no matter what Trump is gonna get blamed, but the political ramifications are completely different between "We helped out a Alley " vs "We started bombing".
 
Wow, a lot has happened. Iran's getting bombed, the Supreme Leader is dead not long after the bombing's started. Lots of doomers coming from the shadows.

I also got a sick new PFP. Did it in Grok, though it'd be centered around the name. Dragon going stealth in the desert (for obvious reasons concerning current events).

Can someone explain to me why South Korea apparently elected a CCP puppet as their president? I thought they were based?

Let's discuss South Korea during these trying times! Your question seems to have been ignored! So I will answer it, unless it already has, then my bad.
So yeah, a lot had happened in South Korea that slipped under the radar in December of 2024, I think some might be aware of it. It gained a good bit of online traction. I'd appreciate any corrections since this is basically a tl;dr version.

The conservative (now ex) president Yoon Suk Yeol, had known a lot of members in the congressional wing of the democrats had ties to the CCP, including his opponent, Lee Jae-myung. He was surrounded by them. So what did he do? The most logical action one would do...

He declared martial law

He essentially blinked and panicked. Of course, this didn't sit well with everyone. No one at all, actually. His attempt was to try to protect democracy, but as you can see, it did not go in his favor.

The opposition wanted this. What happened next to poor Yoon Suk Yeol?

He was impeached in December 14, 2024. And a snap election in June of 2025 was held where his China loving opponent won bigly

Welp. That's unfortunate.

So Lee Jae-myung is now president, despite his ties to the CCP and North Korea. Yikes.

What about Yoon Suk Yeol? Whatever happened to him?

Yeah, about that...

He's now serving a life sentence because of the martial law he declared.

His sentencing happened not long ago, in February of this year (2026).

Hope that answers your question! (I also archived all the links)

Back to you, Kiwis.

I get what he's saying, but "We had to, because we don't have the juice to get the kikes to chill" is not a great look.

he's very diplomatically saying "the kikes are out of control psychopaths that were going to bomb them regardless knowing full well it would get tons of our people killed so we had to join in to minimize our loses"

Our greatest ally BTW.

Surprise attacks aren't.

Getting the guys in place is probably the easiest part. The food, fuel, ammo, and hardware that is required for a large boots on the ground invasion is massive. We spent 6 months building up logistics before invading Iraq in 2003 and that was with there already being established bases in the region for over a decade. Similar, if probably much quicker, thing happened before Russia invaded Ukraine and they share a fucking border. Everyone knew the invasion was coming for months because of the build up. The only surprise is exactly when.

There has been no logistics build up for a ground invasion (and even the fleet and air build up before Saturday was obvious for the world to see). It would take months before we could be ready to roll over the border.

Anyone telling you this is the start of a boots on the ground quagmire thinks you're a niggercattle and you are one if you got upset at the administration when they told you to. This will have to continue into the summer and we'll have months of mobilization to witness. Then you can get upset.

Any infantry action we could possibly see are Special Forces teams, and slightly large Marine Expeditionary Units design for quick deployment, but they aren't invasion forces, they are limited scope, achieve a goal in hostile territory, and get out forces.

I have an office next to a rail line going to a primary port. For both Afghanistan and Iraq trains full of humvees, troop carriers and tanks were stacked almost nonstop for four months before each. Nothing for this. Iran is much larger too so you'd need thousands more of everything.

You’re skipping the part where supporters physically camped around his house for five weeks and prevented the first attempt to arrest him, and how the whole thing extended into a purge of military leadership to put the pro commies in charge
