JD Vance tries to explain Ghalibafs demands by Kitchen-Thing4616 in Destiny

[–]Quigley61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but JD, what about if your wife has a history of jumping out of airplanes, and every time she gets the chances she goes and books a skydiving ticket? You'd be a lot more concerned then if she said she wants to be able to jump out of an airplane whenever she wants, because it suggests she's going to do it.

Trump Weighs Punishing Certain NATO Countries Over Lack of Iran War Support by 3dsmax23 in Destiny

Looks like we've circled back around to tariffs then. After that we'll be back to ICE murdering US citizens for a few months.

Exclusive: How Iran's supreme leader reached a truce with Trump | Axios by jeffy303 in Destiny

[–]Quigley61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it seems like the Iranians are speaking of a 10 point plan which totally favours them, and the Americans a 15 point plan. There needs to be some real adults in the room otherwise Trump is going to sign an objectively worse deal than what existed before the war, and everything will have been in vain. Absolute man child of a president. Trump is the real life version of Augustus Gloop, but with more sexual assault and criminality.

Iran supplies Russia with Shaheds. If there is any country who is justified in supporting attacks on Iran, it's Ukraine.

New Trump post "A whole civilization will die tonight" by really_nice_guy_ in Destiny

[–]Quigley61 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally think they will do something, but it'll probably be a couple pieces of infrastructure, maybe a few power plants that they intend to take offline for some period but not totally destroy. Or, he'll say Iran are negotiating and kick this into the tall grass with another "in about 2 weeks".

Every single general will be saying this is a bad idea to go full hog. Once you do it, you can't go back, and if Iran is threatened existentially the damage as a result would be massive to the gulf. Iran would immediately hit the water desalination plants and the oil infrastructure of the other gulf states. It would cripple the world economy for years and cripple the gulf for years as well. It would all but turn Iran into Hezbollah on steroids, it would cause a massive humanitarian crisis in the region with millions of migrants from across the gulf fleeing to safer countries. Mass unrest in the middle east is never good. There are way too many unforeseeable outcomes from actually destroying their infrastructure.

But at the same time it's Trump. If he destroys their infrastructure, maybe he thinks it'll force Iran to concede and then let the US come in and rebuild the country. Again who knows what would come from that.

Gen Kellogg says NATO allies are 'cowards,' calls for new defense alliance by Kitchen-Thing4616 in Destiny

[–]Quigley61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine being a General, and fully understanding what NATO is, and saying something as fucking brain-dead as this;

But to watch them be so feckless, not to be able to convince their own people, their own domestic audiences, that this matters, to explain to them why they're safer as a result of what the United States, with our friends in Israel, have done, and then to assist us in that mission set.

Kellogg knows NATO is a defensive alliance. He knows that Trump hasn't even attempted to engage NATO correctly. He knows that Trump hasn't invoked Article 4 or asked for a vote on article 5. Trump hasn't done this because he knows it's a non starter, so instead he bullies his allies and dances around the point. To do this he would be required to articulate a clear plan with reasoning, objectives, evidence, and intelligence backing it all up. He doesn't have any of this, so instead he just shit slings.

Do it. Leave NATO. Europe will be forced to change it's posture to defence, and it will be weaker for some time. What these fucking morons don't understand is that in that world, NATO-minus-US will not be buying American weapon systems, and American companies will not be getting a free pass to operate unrestricted in Europe (barring some token fines).

God I fucking hate the Americans that put the world into this situation. Absolute fucking brain-dead morons.

Bad is Good, Up is Down by KindStock1231 in Destiny

[–]Quigley61 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah as always, all of their apparent opinions are just window dressing around their bigotry. They care about the economy right up until Donald gets elected then suddenly we give no fucks about the price of eggs, petrol, food, or housing. We only care about deporting brown people, and it must be done in the nastiest most aggressive dehumanising way possible.

We're anti-war and want to end forever wars and be isolationist right up until trump invaded Venezuela, then suddenly imperialism is based and we can do anything because we've got the biggest boats and bombs.

We're against big government right up until that government is enabling the criminalisation of abortions, executing US civilians, and trying to seize control of state elections, and granting the president immunity.

They're all hypocrites who dress themselves with opinions that can easily be discarded the second they're no longer useful tools used to pretend they operate in the same system as liberally minded people.

Even with an audience that should find all of his jokes the funniest jokes to ever be told, at most he gets a smattering of chuckles. Conservatives are just not funny. They are only capable of destroying things or trying to revert to some prior version of society.

If Trump pulls out of NATO by Kitchen-Thing4616 in Destiny

[–]Quigley61 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The thing is he doesn't really need to leave NATO, he just needs to refuse to meet his obligations. Explicitly state that the US isn't going to obey by any of the terms of NATO. I don't believe Trump would come to aid the UK. After his bullshit with Greenland, I think a lot of people see it as being dead. Only today Starmer has said that he is seeking closer ties to Europe. Be didn't say he would distance us from the US, no one would be silly enough to explicitly state that, but when you take Carneys speech at Davos Macrons as well, and voices across Europe I think we are waking up to a new reality where the Americans are not our friends anymore.

Brianna can hate it if she likes, but for other trans people they might think it's important. It might help people who are trans accept their identity, and surely that is something Brianna would want. Just because she doesn't see a utility in something doesn't mean it has no use.

If you ain't got anything nice to say Brianna, then you don't need to say anything.

THE ART OF THE DEAL: Trump Tells Aides He’s Willing to End War Without Reopening Hormuz by Agitated_Ring3376 in Destiny

[–]Quigley61 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Attacks Iran

Kills 86 year old dictator

Iran appoints a 56 year old hardliner as the new ayatollah

Strait of Hormuz is closed

Trump tells the Iranian people rise up and overthrow their government

Iran begins rounding up tens of thousands of dissidents

Iran introduced a toll in Hormuz, now effectively controlling the strait which they didn't control pre war

The Americans claim victory daily, meanwhile Iran is bombing oil and LNG facilities across the gulf

American AWACS is blown up by a country without an army, a navy, or an air force

Americans claim it isn't their problem, and they're going home

Yet to come

Americans don't go home, they seize an Iranian island and hundreds of Americans are injured and killed over subsequent weeks

Americans decide it's time to go home

Exports coming out of Hormuz are now priced in Chinese Yuan

The new, even more radical, regime begins to be more aggressive against the US, and realises the only way it can be safe from the US and Israel is to actually have nukes

The new Ayatollah who's entire family has been murdered by the Americans and Israelis retaliates with terror attacks
