  1. In keeping with this topic… how do you sequence Putin taking over all of Ukraine?
  2. No, it wasn’t considered impossible. Unlikely, yes, but there was plenty of warnings in polling data about Hilary not connecting with voters. Predicting wildly fantastic scenarios with no statistical underpinnings is not something to take serious.
  3. His post is utterly ridiculous
  4. Sponges might be the Left’s secret weapon.
  5. As if there wasn’t one of those just the other day…
  6. The pound took a nose dive because she wanted to give rich people a tax cut.
  7. Nice
  8. What, are you an amateur gynecologist or something?
  9. Always a bad time when the "HR" person who's responsible for this bullshit has her pic plastered all over the article. Maybe the Daily Mail was getting people to go after her.
  10. No on argues that the LASD isn't a bunch of thugs. They're currently run by a thug, after all.
  11. Nobody wants to wade through that place.
  12. Why does this thread exist if we’re just telling people to go to Kiwi Farms to read about it?
  13. It highlights the fact nobody wants to recognize that age old anti-semitism has merely changed its stripes, just as it's done for centuries. People who are saying it's the product of insanity are just in denial that the sentiment is real.
  14. Of course people aren't acting like he's crazy - the hate he's speaking isn't a product of insanity, it's the product of bigotry that a lot of people have been rationalizing for centuries.
  15. Imagine turning Haiti into another Tennessee.
  16. Ghosts don't like boring neither.
  17. That being said, there are really two issues here: whether the US should be involved. and whether anyone else should be involved. The former is an obvious no, but, as @matrixman124 pointed out, the latter may also be highly problematic. Intervening at all in the internal affairs of a government that is failing (and was failing even before the assassination of the president) could be a losing proposition.
  18. I agree completely. We didn't help them the last time we intervened, and we won't help them this time, even if we attempt to with the best of intentions.
  19. It's not a question of that, given the Hatian government explicitly asked for help from the international community and not just the US. The draft the US is drawing up for the UNSC charter is for a rapid response force which, coupled with last weeks announcement that it was too early to discuss any kind of "US security presence," would suggest that the intent is for an international UN peacekeeping force which would presumably, be made up of partly or wholly of other member state peacekeepers. Also, this isn't a civil war, at least not in the proper sense, for the simple reason that there doesn't appear to be a coalition in place between the various "criminal gang" factions that are opposing the government. It more closely resembles the war that the Mexican government is fighting with the cartels, which would be a strong indication that any kind of involvement by the US would be at best unnecessary.
  20. Hence the reference to Cuba. If anything, America has learned that annexing foreign countries is a losing proposition.
