Not if it doesn’t get to that point. It’s about nipping the issue in the bud. ISIS wasn’t part of the Syrian uprising when the Syrian uprising was just another Arab Spring movement. In fact, ISIS didn’t even exist yet. What’s now “ISIS” was then just a bunch of resentful ex-Baathist Iraqis. Check your timeline.

Exactly. Their quick success (especially in Iraq) helped them big time in recruiting, they festered, and they grew stronger and more dangerous.

Which is gonna look pretty silly if/when this turns out to be ISIS.

At the time, he wasn’t exactly wrong.

“The event happened in 2012 as the Admiral Kuznetsov and its escorts were sailing through the Mediterranean towards Syria as a show of support for the embattled Assad regime in Syria. Russia kept the breakdown story under wraps, until this video was posted this week.”

Ding ding ding! Godwin’s Law sighting 15 minutes after Tyler’s post!

That IS a big tug. Even when the Nimitzes come in, they get 2 or 3 C-Tractors.

Great read, Tyler. Thanks.

UPS is the literal worst. That’s why FedEx was invented.

Yeah...if you’re one of those people who thinks you know who the “REAL RACISTZ” are, we’re not gonna agree, so I’m going to give you a wide berth.

As is racism...

Dang. Now I’m kinda wishing I had NFL Network just to see whether I could tell the difference.

Sounds like something they might try, but it’d be quite the escalation. Difference is, Guam DOES belong to the US, and nobody denies it.

My mom grew up in a very small Midwest town. The local Mexican community once held a fiesta to thank her father for not being afraid to hire them.

I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry at your fake-ass-racist shaming.

I feel it a bit sad that when I read a story that is basically, “People on the internet are racist”, I just have to shrug.

Here. Take my stars.

The idea that the Russian media “leaks” anything is certainly hilarious.

Oh, wow. The closest some of us colorblind, non-politically connected folk will ever come.
