    I believe very likely Iran was making significant efforts to develop ICBMs and nukes. I'm not disputing that at all.

    No, I think the Persians are pretty smart and resourceful to be able to do what they have with so many sanctions essentially making them function on an island. I'm sure they have also gotten some support from their friends in NK, Russia etc... My point was merely, we've been hearing for about...

    It's still never been clearly explained how this time it was different, that Iran really was "2 weeks away' from getting a bomb. It's been said so many times over the years. Trump himself even said after operation midnight Hammer that their nuclear program was wiped out. I don't understand...

    The better question, why wouldn't China help them? It's the same thing we're doing with Ukraine and Russia. Every missile interceptor fired at an Iranian missile is one less to not be used against China.

    Ruger pulling headquarters out of Connecticut

    Why would any company stay headquartered in a state that hurts their own business. It's insane. Every gun industry company should move to a red state.

    We need a new doom and gloom thread. It has been a while.

    Is it too much to ask to get to the point where it's 9pm and I'm sitting around a fireplace in the dark drinking a bourbon listening to the BBC on shortwave reporting that the chair is against the wall, the owl is on the roof. Can we get there already?

    Political Picture thread. (humor/memes/etc)

    I would love someone with balls to walk over and take it off her desk and throw it in the trash. It's absolutely unacceptable that politicians representing United States citizens and tax payers are anything except 100% supporting of the US interests. Treason.

    Hopefully it's not accurate, but there are Internet rumors a US ship was hit yesterday that's what made Trump choose to retaliate and launch a strike. Will post and share if anything somewhat credible is out there.

    So it sounds like a bit of semantics... Trump is calling this a humanitarian operation to avoid the legality of the war powers timeline. If/when Iran fires on the US, they will say we are actually acting in self defense during a humanitarian operation. Interesting.

    I've been watching a lot of the TV show "on patrol live" lately, it's on Friday and Saturday nights. I'm noticing an extremely predictable trend in behaviors. There are very frequently large groups/parties/gathers with black individuals that end in complete mayhem and violence. Everything...

    Sounds like the US is going to escort merchant ships through the strait starting tomorrow. Let's see if Iran engages or not. If they do im sure we will respond and we are back to kinetic attacks. This will be very interesting tomorrow to see what happens

    Sounds like the USA Eisenhower is getting ready to deploy, likely to go replace the USS Ford so it can rotate home. It will be interesting to see if they keep 4 strike groups in the region or use this as an opportunity to have more capabilities in the region for strikes.

    Back on topic.... What happens next? Does the cease fire hold, or do the bombings resume? Somewhat related, I can't help but think this conflict is having an impact on China, both their economy and desires for Taiwan. Their oil supply is being choked off similar to the 1939 Japanese oil...

    Off duty Buffalo Police Officer Shoots a German Shepherd Diring an Attack

    I don't necessarily disagree, however... If I'm walking in my neighborhood, and 2 "off leash" dogs are acting aggressively, and I shoot them without being bitten, I'm going to get charged and end up in Court/jail. Why is it too much to hold the off duty cop to the same standards and...

    SPLC indicted; they paid “white supremacists” to riot in Virginia; very fine people hoax was a setup

    The anti racist group determined there wasn't enough racism to justify their existence so they created a boogeyman with donor money to justify their purpose. Think that over for a minute.

    Off duty Buffalo Police Officer Shoots a German Shepherd Diring an Attack

    I don't have time to read the story/ watch the video Did the off duty officer who is essentially acting like any regular citizen out for a walk get bit before he shot the dog? That's all I need to know to make my opinion. If he was bitten, then he acted in self defense. If he was not bitten...

    SPLC indicted; they paid “white supremacists” to riot in Virginia; very fine people hoax was a setup

    Literally trying to create a reason to exist. They are actually trying to create racism, so they can have a purpose to "fight injustice and racism", and they do it by taking donations to fund their opponents. This is actually insane.

    Congressman Introduces Bill to Grant Special Operations Veterans Nationwide Concealed Carry Rights

    In theory it sounds good, it has a nice name and makes people feel good. But..... I hate it specifically because it furthers the "class" designations and some citizens are more equal than others to exercise rights. EVERY honorable veteran should receive the same benefits or none. Just like...

    Honestly, thinking strategically long game..... This is good news for people stuck here in NY. 1, it's our only real chance to get the unsafe and unsafe2.0 overturned is if there is a very clear and unmistakable federal precedent that gets set. This has potential to do so. 2, more people...

    If Iran themselves didn't already have nuclear capability, or close to it. The IRGC might play an ultimate rage quit and go out guns a' blazing. If they are desperate like a cornered crazy fox they may go off the deep end. It wouldn't shock me if they would be considering: Hitting all the...
