Iran War now? Yea or nay?

Which one are you?

Now you are just being hurtful.

In other news, Dr. Gonzo evilly celebrates the idea of the Middle East losing it's disability benefits and returning to work, since it certainly can.

How do you celebrate “evilly”?

[Dr. Gonzo]

I don't know anything about this, so I think I will post a link.

Trump announces that maybe Middle Eastern countries should be invited to join NATO,

to reduce the U.S. military presence abroad.

If the US has to pay less, and less US military have to spill their blood for other nations that could see to their own defense,

I think this is a very interesting and perhaps innovative idea.

I launched a solid fueled one so bad about 5m ago, I said "eww" out loud to myself, and then promptly congratulated myself for being honest with myself.

If I were a government man, I'd have clearly blamed Iran.

This is real progress.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Are you hitting Jacob Wohl's feed again?

Put the banana down, Gonzo.

It's on par with the rest of the speculation on this thread.

Nobody here knows what the fuck happened to cause that plane to come down, other than gravity.

And if you did, you would not be allowed to discuss it here....

So, my working theory is that the pilot ate some really bad baba ganoosh,

And Ghost was on the maintenance line,

and forgot to put prickly heat powder on his dick that night,

farted, and accidentally fired a righteous indignation turd out of his butt

that flew into the engine, causing the damn thing to crash,

while John Lithgow went hysterical inside the plane because he could see Ghost's RI turd running up and down the wing tearing up shit.

Never trust a fart, that's my policy.

One thing is for sure this is dominating the news cycle now instead of the tensions between the US & Iran.
Interesting how quickly we can move on from missiles being shot at each others assets and onto this.
It is quit the way to de-escalate something.
No I am not implying that this as a tactic for de-escalation was thought up and then executed its just an interesting by product.

[W. Rabbit]

A confidential resource reports there was a key person on the plane that had dirt on Hillary Clinton and was preparing to come forward.

They don't call it information warfare for nothin.

Trust nothing but what you see and hear yourself. I think that's the lesson of this thread so far. Sure we went in some circles, but that's fine. It's called the constant comparative approach, it's essential for developing a working theory grounded in empirical evidence.

Do not trust, then verify. Zero trust, until you are positive and not a moment sooner.

If that is the case any SIGINT from the US is 100% a lie if that is the case.
Hell your not likely to even get decent Infrared intelligence from that.
However that is a hell of a lot more believable than an actual AA battery

As far as the CIC, this guy has more credibility when it comes to military news.

You dirty muckraker

So my money is on terrorist MANPADS. Your move!
