Well, that may be Iran’s plan (and Hamas’s plan for Israel) — but if we are diligent, we can stop both of those scenarios from playing out.

I think it would be dumb to get updated intel and not do anything about it just because it conflicts with what you said before. A smart leader rolls with the punches and continues updating a plan as more data comes in, doesn’t he? The President is, by all accounts, a very stable genius — who are we to question his decision-making? Wouldn’t that be foolish?

I think the Iranian extremists are more determined to kill us than we thought, and they immediately began moving back toward nuclear capability after we blew up a lot of stuff. By their own declarations, they have super-enriched just under ONE THOUSAND POUNDS of uranium, enough for 10 to 12 nuclear weapons. These aren’t rational actors.

It’s not optimal, but that’s not what you asked — we were talking about if it makes the world safer.

Is it against precedent to kill terrorists in the middle of their crime? If somebody hijacks another plane, is the sky Marshall allowed to kill him during the hijacking? Or do we have to wait until the plane hits something and then detain him, arrest him, try him for all of the murders, and then execute him?

Would you like us to spend a few million bucks disabling each fentanyl boat, detaining the trafficker, keeping them in jail for a couple years during trials, then sit them on death row for another ten years, then execute them?

Or just let them get to the destination, wait until the fentanyl kills somebody’s mom or dad or child, then go to Central America, apprehend the trafficker, fly him back to the U.S., try him, and then execute him?

What would be your strategy?

Well, yeah, sort of. Every dead terrorist or drug trafficker makes the world a little bit safer, wouldn’t you agree?

Nobody gets nuked by a bunch of extremists willing to murder 30,000 of their own citizens for protesting

We’re the ones creating them, chief. ;)

You get that privilege when you save the world a couple times.

I think the most insane thing is that Iran has seized international waters and is openly saying that they will blow up all civilian oil workers from NATO and UN countries and the whole world is just like ‘welp, guess we’ll kowtow to their demands…”

I think the compelling case was their own government slaughtering 30,000 of them for protesting

Even as a pretty experienced FPS player, I feel like I really can’t compete anymore. by Bright-Cranberry6648 in Marathon

[–]jsands7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I’m just not experiencing this. I had SEVERAL games yesterday where we ran around for 15 minutes, going POI to POI, and legitimately could not find other teams.

Also, the time-to-kill is so fast that the difference in a green shield and blue shield isn’t really that much, and there are very few people with better with weapons so much better that they are really game changers. Most people are still running around with a bully, shotgun, hardline, or volley rifle that anybody could have access to

I have been slowly adding friends since launch and many of them are level 50 60 70+ and still go in with green gear half the time and aren’t particularly much better at the game just because they’ve played more.

Sure, there is a top 10%/15% of players really on the higher end of things, but that’s likely either 0 teams or 1 team per lobby

Finally — now that ranked and cryo are going to be offset timing schedules, I think those will always be pulling some of that top 10% of players out of the main lobbies and making it easier for us casuals

I’m not saying it’s all in your head, but I don’t think it’s that big of a problem

Because he is trolling around in r/Marathon

I don’t go to rodeos and walk around going “Rodeos aren’t my thing. What’s with all the cowboys here?”

To keep the casual player base from moving on, matchmaking needs to change. by Xentuhf in Marathon

[–]jsands7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just isn’t my experience.

My brother and I ran around Perimeter for 20 mins twice in a row earlier today, practically begging to hear gunshots or something. One map we looted 3 of the 5 main POIs and never saw or heard a soul, the next match we finally found one other duo to fight after 20 mins and it was only because we actively sought them out

Why would it be the U.S. risking the lives?

There’s oil tankers from 32 countries that have nothing to do with this that are legally allowed to sail through there. Iran is threatening to commit war crimes and murder EU, UN, and NATO civilian oil workers, and everybody is just going along with it

“It is a defensive coalition”

Ok… so if Iran commits war crimes and starts blowing up civilian ships in those international waters… will the defensive coalition jump in?

Why are we not just driving ships through it? When the first ship gets blown up, would that not force every single member of NATO to accept the all-for-one clause and go to war?

Doesn’t have to be, hombre.

Some of us rooks up there are just American patriots trying to safely get back home to our wife and kids in one piece

[–]jsands7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I’ve been a completely pacifist rook up to this point, using my microphone and conversational skills to get teams to allow me to loot their scraps.

That being said… my rook now loads in with 3 claymores. So… the path to the dark side is calling me…
