I use to read the middle east thread there a lot until like the 4-5th argument of genocide vs ethnic cleansing among other stupid bullshit like that. And then some people can say anything they want while others get probated for a barely warm take.

the current slap fight is over a UN report that accuses Syria/Russian Friends of bombing an aid convoy headed towards.. Manbij? The slap fight isn't over whether it happened, which all parties agree upon, but on the use of the phrase "barrel bomb," since it is possible regular ordnance was used.

it's the stupidest loving subforum

I don't get how it takes countries so long to stand up things like ICBMs. Not that it isn't complex, but you're working backward from a thing you know to be possible.

Doesn't matter. The industries used to build those things could not be in a mature enough state to create one.

We could hand the Chinese a copy of the Raptor power plant and they still wouldn't be able to build a copy. It would be a huge advancement for metallurgy and propulsion engineering for them yea but yea. They're not going to make a like for like motor any time soon.

Initially ruled as a suicide. Because young black men go out to the woods to hang themselves when they get the sad brains from going to head start college. It has since been ruled undetermined. gently caress everyone involved in the initial investigation.

Assuming Comey has been acting purely in the interest of the Trump faction (and the Russian intermediaries involved therein), it would be the most stunning flavor of schadenfreude I can think of if Trump were to try and brute force his way past the director and somehow manage to sabotage himself in the process.

On the other hand, 'lol'.

I know the guy has broken a whole bunch of credible information in the past couple of months, but sometimes, but since we mentioned it earlier, I just have trouble digesting Twitter "intelligence" or news when the profile pic is something like this:

Zeris

Well yeah I mean when you are acting against your own country's best interests what do you expect?

Also, I question the underlying assumption (correct me if I am wrong) that the Russians were somehow "caught", as in, they wanted to scoot Trump into the WH without getting noticed. Presumably the Russians are smart enough to know when they're being monitored by the US IC. The people who aren't smart enough are Team Trump. More on that shortly-

Russia is already vilified, especially in the last few years. They are so good at navigating fine lines re: reprisals from other states. Knowing that they have little to lose, doesn't it make more sense that Russia's sloppiness is deliberate, here?

Russia could easily turn their own negativity into a weapon by unilaterally hacking & leaking stuff, and then colluding with (or even just meeting with) Team Trump affiliates knowing how bad it would look down the road, knowing the US IC would be observing, and knowing that it would only take a little bit of drama for leaks on that revelation to begin. Now everyone has been undermined. Is Russia just trying to get us so hosed up with ourselves that we stop giving them a hard time?

Conspiracy theory: if this is a repeat of the Crimea model, then what is it that Russia is stealing before our eyes?
