If people tell you that knives or cars are just as dangerous as guns, ask them why the knives in their kitchen or the car in their driveway aren't enough for home defense.

Like "would you give a man a foot massage?" in pulp fiction.

i think its probably because people expect the other person in a conversation of being capable of understanding nuance.

No, but at least there was oil and fat contractor money. Donnie's actively been loving with American Hegemony which except for some third world countries has arguably been a very stable bunch of years, and there seems to be no return on that.

Most of us here in America don't get the British defiant, stiff upper lip mindset that they generally react with. Instead it's all "maybe now theyll understand fear and they'll stop the PC madness and deport the muslims"

Also, even if you don't like Reddit, I gotta recommend r/trumpcriticizestrump as a convenient place for all his past tweets

I don't really know how to process all this stuff, consequences/truth are real weird.

Basically, the Arab world is cutting ties to Qatar. The first was Saudi Arabia, followed by Bahrain, now that's followed up with UAE and Egypt. The reason is that Qatar is sponsoring terrorism (mandatory lol Saudi), but weird poo poo is going down.

Some poo poo about Qatar supporting Shiite (Iran) terrorism or something,

quote:

Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, escalating a crisis that started over Qatar’s relationship with Iran and its support of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The three countries said they will suspend air and sea travel to and from Qatar. Saudi Arabia said it will shut land crossings with its neighbor, according to the official Saudi Press Agency. Bahrain has given Qatari diplomats 48 hours to leave.

From a few days ago posted:

A report published on the Qatar News Agency (QNA) website later that day alleged that the emir stated that Qatar had a tense relationship with President Trump’s administration, described Hamas as “the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people,” and called Iran “a big power in the stabilization of the region.” Qatar TV later reported the emir’s alleged speech on its evening news program before the government communications office claimed — belatedly, on May 24 — that the QNA website had been hacked and false statements posted on it.

That was the highlight of the transit. All the tense preps, briefings, etc and then trying to conn through all the traffic only to hear a just stream of poo poo talking towards any Iranian that harassed us.
