    Maybe I missed it in the article, but why on earth would they consider that a sign of respect for their instructor? My brother-in-law is a prison guard at a women's facility, but he told me at men's prisons there are a lot of issues with guards becoming part of the gangs that the inmates are a part of, AB included. I thought that part of Oz and the movie Shot Caller was a bit far-fetched. Guess not.

    Sit down, because this is some divine comedy:

    ...their ethics/diversity instructor demanded they do it. Why? Both because (her words) “I’m a hardass like Hitler was” AND “I had no idea it was offensive.” Sure, you didn’t. This comes from several news sources.

    So... y’all are going to war with Iran now, eh?

    That’s a bold move, Cotton.

    Nothing like a good war to shore up a presidential campaign

    Well technically it was still on Iraqi soil. The guy was responsible for the embassy attack and killing US/coalition contractors and Iraqi civilians who protest against the Qud. But it would be the equivalent of another country killing MacArthur during WWII, thats how big this guy was there. The next move if it really begins escalating would probably be an airstrike on Kharg Island. All of Iran's oil exports flow from there, so it would immediately cripple the Iranian economy. If that happens, the Saudis will begin salivating uncontrollably.

    Sounds like Iran was about to do something against the US. I'm reserving judgment until the rest of the details come out. Even places like CNN are like "eehhhhh, maybe the dude needed to go, let's see."

    Well, thankfully there's no history of them doing suicidal things to hurt their enemies.

    You guys air striked a country you’re not at war with.

    Like Clutch said, that’s pretty fucking disturbing, regardless of who got taken out.

    The "complicated" and disturbing one was Anwar al-Awlaki. He was an American citizen and Obama ordered a drone strike to kill him without due process. I cant believe there is more outrage (or pretend outrage) about an Iranian general was involved on an attack on a US Embassy and other US contractors than that one.

    The real outrage was when Trump's white nationalist border force detained 1 million children at the border and even held them in cages. CAGES!

    Oh wait, that was Obama. Nevermind, it's fine then.

    Forget the damn cruise missiles, why are we not putting the Space Force to work? Show me a kinetic bombardment.

    That’s him contributing to the Kesslar Syndrome so we eventually get knocked back into the Restoration. that’s when he releases.... The Musk Machines. Few will survive, and only a brave VERY few would fight back.

    So, now there are thousands of US troops being redeployed to the Middle East... Iraq is basically saying, "Hey, US, GTFO".

    It's going to be interesting to see if Kuwait and/or Qatar become the US staging area now, and what Iran will do about it. Never mind Saudi Arabia.

    Sounds like a certain somebody has lost their memory on what freedom tastes like. Oh well, round three. Maybe the entire country can get set on fire at once this time.

    If I was Iraq, I'd be afraid of Iran as well, and want to be absolutely not involved, as there would be serious repercussions. Given the choice between the US or Iran, I can see why they're telling the US to GTFO.

    I don't think people really get just how big Iran is. It's the 18th most populous country in the world.

    This is an interesting post from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/c...ral_says_us_was_warned_several_times/erpka1y/

    You don't want to piss off the crazy meth'd out neighbour.

    Never mind the fact that the US just did an air strike in Iraq.

    Well, yes, on the one hand it's a big deal. On the other I have no idea when the last time was that we weren't doing air strikes in at least 5 different countries. Mid 90s maybe?

    They have a stronger military than Saddam had, but they would be completely annihilated. The only question would be how long the US wanted to fight and how many Iranians were willing to die.
