@LukefromDC @benroyce @cascheranno @RegGuy Sadly a better time comparison might be to end of August 1939... not 1932.

No worries RFK Jr. has you covered!

@lisagetspolitik I get it! We're saving America from sensible candidates. Got it and we get mental giants like Trump. Okie-dokie.

@chris Of course that assumes people don't get really grumpy, angry, armed and decide to take things into their own hands... then another set of rules will be enforced.

@Free_Press FWIW https://www.graphicnews.com/en/pages/45432/military-us-troop-presence-in-middle-east add your 5-10,000 to the 51,000+ already on the ground plus I believe 2-3 Carrier strike groups. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_strike_group

In total probably approaching 80-100,000 troups or about 10% of the US Active duty personnel. I'm sure you can run better numbers, but that's about what Bonespur Don is putting in harm's way.

@rbreich But what about those real heroes those who steal, kill, and accumulate needless wealth--- who worries about them? Sorry-- too much news.

@MaryAustinBooks Well you CAN'T trust vegans or is it dead cows we can't trust??? I'm confused...

@dyckron I, for one, will miss them immensely.

@QasimRashid I think voter suppression is the goal. Complaining that MAGA is succeeding is not likely to get MAGA to change their plan. You might try another tactic... just sayin'. But I'm old, don't believe me.

How did Iran do this without missiles???

Iran missile strike damages five KC-135 tankers in Saudi Arabia, officials say

The aircraft were reportedly parked on the flight line at the time of the strike and sustained damage but were not destroyed.

@lulu @aral Right but remember those places (like many others) were stolen fair & square.

@jensclasen Stimmt und dazu Dumm

@aral Such is freedom. You have done your due diligence. When they walk out the window--- oh well. Wish them a pleasant trip.

@aral@mastodon.ar.alYou might try another speech if you want to break the log jam. Americans have heard yours for decades and as you yourself point out, it hasn't worked, thus far.

@jnow FWIW Some Christian leaders in Nazi Germany were motivated by their beliefs to protest Nazi rule and help their persecuted neighbors. Others cooperated with the Nazi regime—or even enthusiastically supported it. ... Jihadism is a neologism for modern, armed militant Islamic movements that seek to establish states based on Islamic principles. Your point generally is not wrong, but not very tight definitionally
