If you don’t like Tyler’s articles, stop reading & commenting on them. Anti-semitic genius.

You just can’t help yourself can you? Does ignorance and naivete just form words and fall out of your mouth as a gut reaction or is it something else?

actually its the germans paying for it. It even states it in the article

“What about American extremism?”

Basically Swiss Guard with bullet-spraying halberds minus Pope Francis in water wings. Or something.

Pity the Stealthhawks are too stealthy to see.

Well... a minor point needs clarifying here: The society overall isn’t as fundamentalist or heavily religious as Saudi Arabia’s, although there’s obviously a spectrum. But by and large I’d accept that Iran’s people are considerably less fundamentalist than Saudi Arabia’s. Minus elements like the reviled Basij (which…

Again: They fund Hezbollah in the Levant, they funded the militants in Iraq.

We suddenly trust Putin? Come on.

Kinda like some of our Marines are religious hardliners and only answer to Pat Robertson/Franklin Graham.

All activity by the US military is under direction of the DOD. The IRGC is basically accountable to nobody. Their stated mission:

“I hate how much Iranian aggression makes people think Iran is aggressive.”

Russia is a modern enemy of the U.S. because Putin has specifically made that his foreign policy objective: to hinder everything the U.S. does. He’s essentially adopting the Republican Congressional playbook.

There are two different things to consider here. The first is that every year the people are making steadily less and less money (or at least their buying power is continually decreasing). Politically, it is getting harder and harder to convince the people that the government is doing a good job when a fair portion of…

But the current Russian budget was based on $50 a barrel oil prices, and energy revenue accounts for 60% of their income. They’re burning through their cash reserves faster than ever. And a significant increase in oil prices is nowhere in sight.

No nation outside of possibly China spends more money on espionage against the United States. Both of those country’s repress their own people and support the two worst despots on Earth. They share almost no common values with the US or the rest of the Western/civilized world. Your comment is incredibly naive.

The Iranian claim may be mostly true, at least to the extent the leadership was not using the Guard. But it makes me wonder if they understand just how many cameras the U.S. has, not like the Russian dashcams, but a boatload. This weirdness has got to be from crazy fundamentalist side.

I am probably the wrong person to comment on anything to do with the Marine Corps, as I am one of those people who would like to see the Marines disbanded as needlessly redundant (as well as hopelessly anachronistic and probably detrimental to overall military function). It is no surprise, given the longstanding…
