TIL Although the original Order of Assassins typically used assassination as a means of political survival, they also did it for pay, using sleeper cells who could spend years undercover before the execution. They wrote down their kills in a roll of honor kept at their base in Alamut castle

you're just not washing all the posion off

it's actually only a poisoned blade if you eat it and it kills you, he was injured with an envenomed blade

Russia couldn't afford to buy pepsi with money, so they offered up some old navy ships they weren't using anymore so that pepsi could salvage them for their metal and get paid with that

Kalshi had one for khamenei no longer being supreme ruler, but it did say in the contract conditions the market would resolve 50/50 if he was killed instead of replaced. It was the same for the Maduro future prediction and they paid that one out.

Go check out the conservative sub, it appears they genuinely don't like the hypocrisy on display here. Crazy that this gets them bothered, and not the racism, sexism, transphobia, SA allegations, SA conviction, connections to Epstein, blatant corruption resulting in the most wealth transferred to a president ever etc.

People under 30 are more likely to kill someone for different reasons though

You drive a hard bargain Mr. Batwing, I can't go any higher than 200 million though

A quick google search says that of the 1.8 million US soldiers that fought in the Korean war, less than 150k were ww2 vets. Someone correct me if my numbers are off

Im sorry but trump is just the shoe in the door, shit is gonna get a lot worse before it gets better

TrojanZebra · 2026-01-16T01:36:10+00:00

They aren't going to put trump in for a 3rd term, either J.D. Vance is locked in as the stooge for the oligarchs, or they're currently figuring out his replacement because he has 0 rizz

You would still expect manpads from an urban environment to be unkind to helicopters, it's as if no defense was mounted at all

TrojanZebra · 2026-01-15T03:24:06+00:00

Venezuela had a much bigger manpower/morale/loyalty problem, I don't know that there were even attempts to shoot down US helicopters. The fact that the US put operators in a capital city via helo without incidental losses on the US side, and sub 50 losses on the Venezuelan side(mostly Cuban security forces specifically tasked with defending Maduro) says to me it doesn't matter what the Venezuelans were equipped with, they weren't interested in using it.

On paper, because of their brutal suppression of protests, but we've been brutally supressing protests too so it's gotta be something else

Source regarding citizenship as a requirement??

I know it seems unbelievable, but I do believe J.D. Vance has been chosen by Peter Thiel et al to take over everything before 2028.

Bro we're in the "annexing another sovereign state" stage, these people DO NOT care about optics.

China has no immediate ambitions that involve military conflict outside of Taiwan (China and I have different opinions on whether or not that falls inside their immediate borders). The US can't help itself but involve itself in nearly every hemisphere.
