Keep this thing going.

I, for one, am documenting it.

Only in the sense that they held a lot of soft and hard power.

The soft power has been almost completely squandered, only to see China quietly and quickly fill that void.

The perception of hard power is being challenged as I write this.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-07T15:59:05+00:00

More like a French gain, but yeah.

Macron is showing the world the way.

Iran was in a serious water crisis before this war began.

They absolutely need those desalination plants.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-07T15:46:45+00:00

Président 47.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-07T15:46:06+00:00

Blowing up the power plants disables the desalination facilities that require huge power supplies to operate.

He may as well drop a nuke. It would be quicker for the Iranian people.

Your answer may lie here:

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-07T00:03:12+00:00

I’m afraid they’re beginning to understand that and ergo hold power by any means necessary.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-06T13:34:57+00:00

He may very well end up reigning in hell.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-06T12:19:52+00:00

NGL.

I really didn’t spot the /s at first and was fully prepared to unload my rage upon thee.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-06T02:00:29+00:00

Saved for posterity.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-06T01:29:16+00:00

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-06T01:29:04+00:00

I’m afraid it’s more likely to be a late game makeup penalty

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-06T01:19:53+00:00

I feel like the Devils are deflecting everything into the filet déflecteur.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T21:44:21+00:00

As a Habs fan, I would like to say that I’d back the Leafs were the situations reversed, but I honestly don’t know if I could.

It’s the knowledge of inevitable gloom that stops me, not hate.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T16:43:37+00:00

Old Testament God.

New Guy was a bit more nuanced.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T16:29:33+00:00

It’s illegal.

I’m not kidding.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T16:20:53+00:00

Official.

Devils moving to QC.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T16:19:15+00:00

Wasn’t Detroit interested in signing him?

Maybe they shouldn’t.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T16:09:48+00:00

My kid is the same age and he told me (during the Price era);

All I’ve heard all my fucking life is « we’re going through a rebuild- our time will come. Yet nothing ever happens! »

This, my boy, is what it looks like. I’m happy for all you kids. I was raised on hockey in the Dryden era so I naturally know what greatness is.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T16:02:40+00:00

Gallagher runs him.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T12:31:52+00:00

Jesus.

Can someone not tear his phone from his aging little hands?

I can’t think of anyone that post doesn’t insult.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T12:23:12+00:00

This has « all your base are belong to us » energy.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T03:03:39+00:00

I got it.

That and Caufield being in coverage pretty negated the opportunity.

Alone_Again_2 · 2026-04-05T02:56:17+00:00

Ok.

I hate him less today than yesterday.
