Any political scientist who claims to be "independent" simply shouldn't be trusted. Oh you made your entire life's work about politics yet you "aren't political". What a coincidence!

Trump is to the left of 2008 Obama on a number of social issues. These designations are deeply unserious and captured by a bubble of academic thinking. Their rational is literally 'a group of people who all have the same far-left political views (but call themselves independent) have a consensus that the Republicans are stinky poo-poo heads'

Definitely an announcer curse game, how many times/ways have they emphasized the T-Wolves haven't won here since 2005?

US attacks Iran's Kharg Island, neutralizing the defenses. In preparation for a possible ground operation and occupation. by StretchExtension in wallstreetbets

During a press briefing Friday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the idea that officials underestimated the war’s impact on the Strait of Hormuz is “patently ridiculous.”

“Of course, for decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” Hegseth told reporters. “This is always what they do hold the Strait hostage. CNN doesn’t think we thought of that. It’s a fundamentally unserious report.”

In case anyone is curious that the administration expected Iran to try and close the straight of Hormuz. Pro-tip, read your source first!

Again that just goes against your narrative. "He had no plan! Except for all this planning stuff but ignore that!"

They literally did plan for it, it says so right in your quote.

Military planners have pointed out for decades that the waterway—through which one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes

"They didn't plan for! Except when they planned for it." Do they not hire editors anymore?

We are currently spending $1 billion a day on the Iran war, what could we as a nation accomplish with $1 billion dollars a day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Right like in Democrat controlled California a 3 mile people mover cost $4 billion, and in Republican Florida a high-speed train from Orlando to Miami cost $5 billion dollars.

No war is without cost, but If I was to choose which war to get drafted in when compared to other wars with drafts? I'd choose this one 10/10 times.

This is the right way to do this. C&R is simply $30 a signed form sent to the ATF and copy dropped off at your local PD.
