“Rex Tillerson Thinks American Foreign Policy Should be Separate From ‘American Values’ acknowledges grass is green.”

I’m from a formerly communist country as well, and it’s mostly an occasion for the plebs to party and light some bonfires.

Alex Jones, and his whole schtick is a false flag op! I’m not even kidding, his obvious over the top act, makes it easier to discredit and dismiss others as “just another Alex Jones like lunatics” when they their raise doubts.

Same reason religion is... the certainty of having bad answers is more comfortable to a lot of people than twiddling their thumbs and going; “Shit, I actuallly don’t know why this world changing event, X happened.”

Pope’s holocaust comparison was not ill-advised, because it is not at all clear from his statement he was making any holocaust comparisons at all. Holocaust was neither the first, the only, nor the last incident involving concentration camps.

The writer may be a dual French citizen. but her take is entirely American, as is often a case when Jezebel writes about European politics. Get used to it. I distinctly remember several articles where Jezebel, despite some protestation from the comments kept referring to Merkel as a liberal.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they already tried, remember lil’Kim executed his uncle and several close confidants with an anti-aircraft gun, he also had his brother assassinated recently.

I doubt that. There’s still a prime minister. France has a presidential-parliamentary system, and a rather odd one at that... she could recall a prime minister, and try to appoint a new one, but not without the Assembly’s consent... if the Assembly and prime minister were to prove to be irreconsilably at odds, I don’t…

We already had plenty of evidence already, -Irish potato famine comes to mind- that putting all your eggs in one basket isn’t a good idea, neither for serving the dietary needs of the populace, and as it turns out nor for maintaining stable economy. Yet, Venezuela did it anyway... and it’s probably not the last of the…

While I guess I share their mindset, the persecution of gay men in Chechnya is definitely happening. The insanity of Ramzan Kadyrov is still being greatly underestimated. Putin is letting that guy not only have his own private army, he’s letting himself be extorted into paying for it (to chagrin of Russian security…

Mines! No mention of mines. Deployed from the air, sitting at the bottom of a few strategic straits, waiting for the target of opportunity... even only the suspicion of mines would requite sweeping efforts, delay the carrier strike group and mitigate it’s effectiveness.

  “You couldn’t be more wrong. If you look at the territorial gains by ISIS in Syria and Iraq from 2013 to present you see a sharp increase followed by a long steady decline. You know why that is? US bombings and military advisers on the ground.”

I dunno about anyone else, but I’m invested in figuring out what the effort is at this point? No, seriously, what would final victory in Afghanistan look like to you? The evidence thus far suggests that the best way to ensure ISIS gains a foothold in a Muslim majority country is to bomb said country for a few years.…

Some random background about the delightful figure that is Ramzan Kadyrov and his fascinating relationship with the Kremlin nomenclature:

“The only difference being that Chechnya has a Muslim majority doing this.”

7. Fix broken doorway.

I’m rather inclined to wait and see what those Tomahawks end up hitting before singing any praises. Besides, this is all seems a little strange... the last time Assad used chemical weapons previously, it was before the Russian intervention, when he was losing. But lately things have kind of been going his way.…

Kind of makes me wonder, how many airfields does Syrian Air Force have? I doubt it’s 50.

First, what about the role of Wisconsin?

Did the price of gasoline drop recently in the US? That might explain it. Sometimes really big tankers get used as floating storage facilities, but this doesn’t seems rather incidental.
