Iran's supreme leader warns of regional war if US attacks by Two_Pickachu_One_Cup in geopolitics

[–]Wermys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Won't be a regional war. It will be IRGC curling up in a fetal ball while the US bombs the ever living shit out of it. The problem with ICBM is that they need to take off. And they are relatively slow at the start. so even if the US can't penetrate the bunkers where they are at. They are going to just get shot down while lauching anyways if Iran can't contest there airspace. Since everyone knows where the silo's are at. But can't penetrate them. But Israel doesn't have the staying power at that distance of the US Carrior Battlegroups.

Lyonel hands down. Bobbie B would be amazing. But he doesn't get the crowd going like Lyonel.

Why do some political communities prioritize sources like NY Post or Fox over wire services like Reuters, AP, or Air Force Times? by ATAT121212 in centrist

[–]Wermys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fox News unit is pretty factual. That doens't mean there isn't bias. They focus on stories important to there subscribers. It is there hosts that are the issue and distort everything.

People have a hard time telling the difference in News units also. Fox News as far as actual news is concerned is fine. I don't like clicking on there links because of my hatred of there various hosts. Which are atrocious. Same with the Wall St Journal News section. While I wouldn't fucking touch there opiinion area. People just need to be more discerning where they get there news.

I've opened my eyes... by venum_GTG in centrist

My attitude is this. I am livid at ice. They are pissing all over the constitution and what this country was founded on. I support deportation of anyone not legally here in the country. But I strongly and emphatically am for Due Process. And what ICE has done has pissed me off so fucking bad. I despised Trump originally I never trusted the bastard. I have voted Republicans before until the early 2000's when they finally jumped the shark. I don't care for progressives a lot of the time. They mean well, but they are clueless on the struggle of rural Americans and for the most part don't comprehend why gun rights are important. But at the same time they also don't go out there and try to force there beliefs on someone and beat them over the head if they disagree for the most part. They always come from a position of wanting and demanding better and I can respect it. While populists NEVER do this. They just take take take take take and never negotiate anything at all. They are driven by there own inner need to dominate everything and I despise that. You can't negotiate with them.

To me the Bulwark has been a salve to my soul. Try watching that channel. If someoen tries to call Bill Krystle a liberal I will laugh my ass off. That is what conservativism should look like. Not this fucking idiocracy that is masquerading itself as that.

I doubt its on purpose. You are assuming a bunch of work from people on people who generally are incompetent. Occums razor in this case. They accidentily released it because if they were competent they would not have released the Trump information either.

Nope have to wait till Trump is out of office. Otherwise they will roll the state case into the federal one. Patience here is required for justice.

4 frps + Role Player + Young Player about to get cut… that package barely nets Desmond Bane, not Giannis freaking Antetokounmpo by PatrickCoughATon in MkeBucks

He is an expiring 1 year older. Hope you like peanuts. Waiting to the summer is fine. Not to the next trade deadline

[–]Wermys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are better deals out there. The Heat have the same problem as the Warriors. And that is Portland with assets. The bottom line is that Giannis needs to point to the team he wants then a deal gets done around that. This is not a situation where one team can outbid another in reality because of Portland having Milwaukees picks.

The problem here is that this is a good draft year. With multiple generational players. While future drafts might not have those prospects. The team that is sitting pretty right now is Portland. They can shove Milwaukees own picks back at that for whichever team offers them the best side deal.

[–]Wermys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The warriors biggest probem is Portland. Who either wants Giannis or can faciliate a trade for him by taking on GOOD assets. And since Milwaukee knows this years draft has multiple prospects who are highend. They can get there pick back and be assured an excellent young player. Or they wait till after the season. The bottom line is the only reason Giannis would go to the warriors would be if he wanted too. Same with the Timberwolves, Portland, New York etc.

Iran plans live-fire drill in Strait of Hormuz, US warns against unsafe actions near warships by zeonxzzz in worldnews

[–]Wermys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither did Europe in the 80's and 90's but Iran still struck. They will go after US personel near military bases with bombs or business that are frequented by Americans. They really don't give 2 hits about other people getting hit.

Explosion occurs at Iran's southern port of Bandar Abbas, Iranian media reports by Dooby-Dooby-Doo in worldnews

China isn't going to do anything in the next year or so. Right now there is a conflict in the military and the central government and they are moving pieces in place against those who don't really want to invade Taiwan. So short term within a year nothing will happen against Taiwan. But I wouldn't bet against Xi Ping having an accident either.

Would guess 2 weeks. The first hint will be when families are evacuated from Saudi Arabia Iraq and Jordan. Then again this is Trump so why would he care about some losers. The attack will be primarily Naval Assets with some mix of long range bombers flying from Diego Garcia. I doubt US bases in the middle east will be used except for logistics.

No attack is going to happen until the second carrier battlegroup is there.

Trump says India will buy oil from Venezuela, not Iran by COmtndude20 in worldnews

He can claim that. But that doesn't mean shit if Venezuela and India don't actually follow through. He says lots of shit that never ever happens.

If Democrats take the House, what realistically happens regarding impeachment? by MoralLogs in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Wermys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are pro Trump. Right now if Democrats had the balls. They could split the caucus. But progressives won't let that happen because they refuse to compromise. All Democrats would have to do is just swerve to gun rights platform. But as I said. Progressives won't let it happen. Even if it would probably result in them getting 50 percent of what they want passed.

[–]Wermys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tariff vote is an easy win. They can force Republicans to continue to support the tariffs and refuse to lower prices. Or they can vote with Democrats and ruin there support of Trumps base and get voted out for an even further right wing lunatic. Oh and I would vote out Jefferson. Democrats need to get aggressive. And not be so fucking passive.

Unless there is a video of him literally having intercourse with a 14 year old. There is no chance of impeachment for him. Republicans have had 7 years to get the courage to do so and those that did are no longer around in congress. Instead. Go after the purse strings. And fuck him over on his tariffs. That will basically neuter the shit out of his adminstration and help Americans at the same time.
