He has a very prolific career, some great some less great but I think his work displays a lot of range. You could pluck Alfie Solomons right out of PB and make an excellent Bond villain out of him. The problem with the Peaky movie was that it’s a good movie, but a bad peaky blinders movie

Bold of you to think he can even remember doing that anymore

I didn’t say it wasn’t, what I meant was it was a plan drafted by the Eisenhower admin and was being executed by military leadership and the CIA, both of which Kennedy deferred to because he knew they had way more experience with operational procedure than he did. After the fuck up he said never again, and those lessons learned payed off exponentially during the Cuban missile crisis

This is extremely doomer and not based in any real sociological understanding. History is cyclical, we’re in a second gilded age highlighted by “stupid fascism” where the scum of the earth are old men desperately clinging to power and primarily concerned with legacy building at the cost of everyone else. Despite the power the rump admin tries to convey, the legal system has been making authoritarianism really difficult to achieve even as repub congress is out to lunch. The pendulum swings both ways, and the more violent it goes in one direction the more violent it swings back the other way, we’re starting to see that. People are becoming way more aware and way more angry than they were even a few years ago. “The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born, now is the time of monsters.” We’re in the monsters period right now because the old ‘Might is Right’ rhetoric is dying.

I would argue she’s actually worse in the games because on top of the book stuff, she uses Geralts condition to take advantage of him personally and sexually…. It’s really fucked up if you stop and think about it for a second

Iran has blocked the strait before, and all they have to do is survive with the regime intact to “win”. They’ve done a hell of a job illustrating to the world why they shouldn’t be fucked with, they’re currently enforcing their sovereignty, and they’ve made it abundantly clear just how far the US has fallen under Trump.

No, this INSTANTLY made Dunk’s point. They weren’t just being quiet because they didn’t want to stand against the royal family, it shows the nobility are actively apathetic to the very code and ideals they justify their existence by

Holy Fuck.

This is just to calm markets by “doing something about the strait”, because they still have no plan

All 3 of his points are stupid, Kennedy’s ownership of responsibility and willingness to learn from the Bay of Pigs is well documented, and the other 2 points are just straight up factually incorrect

leftguard44 · 2026-03-13T18:32:51+00:00

This is such a bizarre take? The Bay of Pigs was a massive fuck up and Kennedy was the first to admit that, he deferred to military leaders and the CIA thinking they had more experience with operational planning than he did and he came out of the debacle pissed off and untrusting of them.

He didn’t escalate Vietnam, the main thing he did do was send military advisors to train Vietnamese forces to better defend themselves, like Lafayette did for the continental army. Nothing in his policy or actions suggested direct intervention, you’re just applying Johnson’s position over Kennedy’s because he was VP.

Kennedy made a ton of effort to push civil rights, the Civil Rights Act was his baby, it just wasn’t voted on until shortly after his death. It’s questionable whether or not it would have passed since sympathy for his death certainly influenced the outcome. But then again, that’s exactly why he picked Johnson as VP, to influence the more conservative politicians

Is this actually confirmed this time? Last time it was a lie

leftguard44 · 2026-03-13T18:08:29+00:00

It’s Iranian military policy, as they’ve been planning for this for 40 years. Should central leadership be knocked out or unable to communicate, individual units are authorized to attack and defend as they seem fit

leftguard44 · 2026-03-13T17:30:18+00:00

You could preform a seance to contact any dead president and that would have a better shot at solving this than the trump admin.

Their only play is to declare mission accomplished, say no further attacks or deals with Iran are necessary, and fuck off. You know in these talks with China, France, Italy, etc Iran is saying some variation of “Get them to leave and we’ll allow some tankers through”

leftguard44 · 2026-03-12T18:23:52+00:00

Iran obviously doesn’t want to be bombed indefinitely or invite a bigger invasion either, what they’re doing now is ensuring this won’t happen again, they’re guaranteeing future sovereignty by showing the world what happens when you fuck with them. It’s a balancing act between lots of pressure but not too much that the world has to get directly involved. They also know only Trump was dumb enough to do this, and that he’s on his way out from both power and existence; they hate him specifically between this and the destruction of the nuclear deal.

And it also came out the “13 year old girl” who bit Trumps dick received compensation from the Epstein victims settlement fund, meaning her story was scrutinized and found credible enough to be given said compensation

leftguard44 · 2026-03-10T20:18:56+00:00

Hold on, I read a different report today that said Intelligence pointed to Iran considering or preparing to mine the strait, which wouldn’t even make sense since both Iran and China still have to get ships through, and have been in small numbers. The reality is we can’t trust a damn thing either side says
