"Surely firing one of the major figures aligned with the Banderite faction that put you in power will have absolutely no reprecussions"

USA: Did you forget to consult someone? As always, USA is the obstacle to peace.

Gotta get everybody with the program before the new weltkrieg

Fancy CIWS installations that can shoot down two objects before requiring a complicated multiple minute reload are basically useless versus drone swarms or even large rocket salvos. This is also assuming that the readiness reports weren't fully falsified and the CIWS were broken or unloaded, as the outpost in Jordan hit likely did not expect any action. Both the Army's extreme level of corrupt practices and braindead doctrine will get a lot of boys killed if this nonsense escalates into a full blown war with Iran.

The "Hannibal's Revenge" argument seems the most convincing. The Phonecians/Carthaginians dumping Molech for Yaweh makes a lot of sense, especially given where the big Jewish revolts in the Roman Empire happened (mostly north africa).

MacNamara's Morons part II. Just go straight to child soldiers and admit the DC ghouls are no better than african warlords.

In reality it was the US invasion of Libya, Iraq et al that made a mockery of the bogus organization that is the UN. Similarly, the big steaming dump DC just took on the ICJ just underlines and bolds this.

The dog on Brussels' leash bites.

Given this chicanery is all the admitted plan of the DNC, there's basically 0 chance the outcome will be considered legitimate. The clear messaging that they're willing to go all the way to "color revolution" tells you all you need to know. All I can say is I wish they did this with Clinton, "Slicktatorship" has a better ring to it.

The stuff coming out of these labs is great. It's wonderful to see people finally realize that any system's data is as important as the system itself; the cross-pollination of the programming field with others is why I keep telling people it's so much more useful as a superpower in other jobs.

The answer to "why" is the same as ever. As for the president, his primary concern is "not looking weak" and avoiding accusations of doing nothing in response to the Houthi attacks. Whether or not the actions are militarily useful or merely killing people for little, if any, gain is of no concern (as is the cost to the taxpayer of doing so). So long as campaign money keeps flowing in from those the president seeks to curry favor with, it is "money well spent" as far as a president is concerned. As to why the US armed forces and Navy go along with this, it is also the same as ever -- the mission of the army, navy and air force is to justify their budget. Wasting money like this aligns perfectly with these goals.

People like to over-complicate it, as that's at least not as depressing to contemplate. I did like the simplicity of the commenter who suggested they needed more sacrifices to satan, however. "They are just evil" corresponds well to the "Grug -> Midwit -> Wizard" meme template.

"Mission Accomplished" as far as the tidewater creeps are concerned. I guess we get to see a bunch of Koreans turn each other into hamburger with tube artillery soon too.

If anything, it will be but temporary relief. Remember, the current circuit courts are but the next generation to be SCOTUS after all.

When gangsters run your country, of course they'll legalize their activities and promulgate ideology to justify it to the victims. The "If I'm victimized, it's my fault for being a schmuck" attitude is quite common now, and far inferior to the very simple "you loot, I shoot".

Germline cells in the gametes are what sends (or fails to send) the signal for to cells to repair without growing uncontrollably; similarly to allow the lifeform to die when it has lost reproductive viability.

Looks like the oligarchy and military have increasingly aligned against the Zelensky regime. I suspect if the regime's plan to mobilize another half million actually go through, the ensuing draft riots will almost surely be the last nail in it's coffin.

Upon realizing that the Russian regime was a blood-soaked kleptocracy wearing white-guardism as a skinsuit, he did what most people do and doubled down on his hopes. When the reality of systematic falsification of all such metrics became unavoidable, he finally capitulated. In the "hitted too hard way", unfortunately; he sees western liberal internationalism as the way out. He does not yet realize we have the same exact problem. Our system is also a murdering kleptocracy wearing an ideology as a skin-suit to cover for their systematic theft. It's nice that he sees things like the "network state" (which are just re-heated Doug Casey from the 80s) as the way out; ultimately anarcho-capitalism is the only system actually compatible with our ultra-networked future.

Gee, maybe you should have worked on the actual public health crisis in the country like Eli Lilly.

No state allowed to have more autonomy than any other, which is to say Delhi's autonomy (e.g. none at all). "Surely centralizing won't cause a civil war this time, ignore all lessons of history"

They of course forget entirely that .gov policy comprehensively punishes saving and capital formation, while encouraging profligacy. Then they of course demand gibs as the solution. Look, this is entirely driven by Women, who spend 80% of the money in the economy despite earning ~40% of it. The globalization of the sexual marketplace has driven their expectations to the moon, and men won't tell their wives the magic word 'no', as this is commonly grounds for divorce to not keep up with her delusional wants. The savings rate will not recover so long as inflation & buying female votes is the 2 step .gov solution to perpetual reelection.

The pentagram "not asking no questions" RE the ownership of defense contractors is so that the same mobbed up names don't show up in every single transaction. This is actually striking the root of the real problems in US politics. I suppose the Intel aristocracy has finally decided it's time for hot war against the organized crime faction that achieved apotheosis in the 80s. I suppose this is to be expected, as the parties have gone from being heavily infiltrated by both sides to increasingly polarized. I suppose some of it is well meaning, as the rapacious looting of our criminal oligarchy certainly fails to deliver concrete results beyond financial irregularity.
