It isn't you, beloved Racewar man. Some of the highlights have just been skipping me back to the one I was just viewing. Odd bug.

There is, it's right under reply and says, "Show me anyways". This will bring up all the ignored users posts on the page.

I backpacked through Europe with my Navy Seabag as a proud American. People in every western European country seemed to hate me for no reason other than being American. The people in the Baltic states and Czech Republic were pretty nice though.

I had a very similar experience in Asia, the locals and other Asian tourists were all very nice and some were even talkative although our conversations were had in broken English and Mandarin, while the European tourists either outright avoided speaking to me or just had a shitty attitude.

He's a prime source of lols in the pro-Ukraine thread, and one of the greatest sources of top info and analysis in the pro-Russia thread.

Late but neither of those were started in the 20th Century, the Insurrection lasting three years into the 20th, though.

Maybe you’re just not as likeable as you think? I grew up in an area with a lot of backpackers. Many Americans are wonderful, friendly people. Some are just cockheads.
 
No one here taking about the helium shortage that's coming and the effect it will have on balloon sales and funny voices.

I don't see any other uses for helium tbh.
Propane. Now there's a gas.

You want to make a ChiCom simp cope and seethe? Ask them about the last war China fought. They couldn't conquer northern Vietnam while they were invading Cambodia and only four years after reuniting the country. The ChiCom Navy has never fought a naval battle on the open ocean. Their bombers, a copy of the Tu-16, has never seen combat. And Xinnie the Pooh just purged the last high ranking general who had combat experience.

Turd worldists claiming China could realistically take Taiwan means we got geopolitical fanfiction before GTA 6
 
Count down to the first """"""Iranian""""" missile striking Europe. I am sure there is absolutely no ulterior motive to making people aware of this supposed new range of Iranian missiles, oh no there could not possibly be any other explanation for this stop nooticing.

For there to be a false flag incident there needs to be something Europe has to use in a war worth bringing.

European navies have the types of ships that would be useful patroling the Strait of Hormus and that the US failed to build themselves. They would be very useful to have for the USN. It would also mean that the Europeans were involved in the other aspects of the war and on the diplomatic and economic front.

According to Trump's statement, they have until Monday, March 23rd, at 7:44 PM, Eastern Daylight Time. I don't know if he'll stick to that timetable exactly, or if they haven't opened it up by late Monday morning he'll go ahead and make them assume the position.

Honestly, I am not sure how to read this threat. A few posibilities:
  1. Trump is serious. The Pentagon is serious. This is par of the plans/operation. It's been simulated, as well as Iran's response, which is so far expected, and fresh hell will be rained down upon Iranian power plants (neutral on whether they'll use graphite bombs or whatever), and Gulf States will have to just deal with whatever the Iranians do, responding in kind, to the best of their abilities.
  2. Trump is shooting from the hip and will probably chicken out because TACO and the blowback he will receive particularly from Gulf allies. If we knock out a power plant for 24 hours and Iran responds by taking out a desalination plant for good with a handful of kamikaze drones then, well, maybe that possibility is real enough to get trump to re-think going after Iranian infrastructure.
  3. Utter bullshit/smokescreen/bluster designed to get a rise out of Iran and figure out how they would respond (see this, for example, where Nour News listed exactly where they would attack if Trump follows through).
Personally, I think 1 is most likely, though i's still hard to believe. I can't imagine trump making a threat like that and not knowing exactly how Iran would respond, meaning he made the threat with the intent to follow through, unless the goal was to figure out iran's next targets upon further escalation (but again, how would they not already know that?).

There is a great video series by a Youtube Channel called Type 56 all about how badly the Chinese fucked up that invasion. The reason the Vietnamese even got wind of the imminent Chinese attack was because some moron blew himself and his entire unit up with a sachtel charge at the rallying point.

His thumbnail game is also on point

Qatars helium facility is down due to strikes from Iran and the shuttering of production. It isn't clear if production has been ceased because the strike prevents it; or as cautionary move to temporarily stop. Thats removes 30% from the global supply at this moment in time - for a product that is NOT replaceable in Microchip production. But...other areas might be sacrificed as non-essential.
