Charliegrs posted:What I'm saying is, we aren't necessarily looking at yet another big mideast war because the Iranian Parliament was attacked. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the whole Qatar situation either. On a region where shootings/bombings are commonplace adding 2+2 together doesn't always equal 4. You're only postponing the apocalypse when you're suggesting such reasonable thinking.

Charliegrs posted:I think some of you are thinking too much into this attack in Iran. It's not like Iran doesn't have domestic terror groups and they've attacked before. In fact I think Khameini himself nearly got killed in a bomb attack in the 80s. There's video of it even. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the Qatar situation, but attacks like this are not at all common in Iran. This is a very big deal and people are justifiably concerned about it. Edit: AFP is reporting ISIS is taking credit. That is definitely unexpected. https://twitter.com/AFP/status/872380427671138304

ISIS will likely try and distract the world from the current assault on Raqqa as much as possible.

Sunni Saudi Arabia plays Trump like a fiddle to whip up fervor over Iran, and then Sunni ISIS attacks Iran. Sure it's more complicated than that, but not a good look.

Gonna get buried under ME War Mark III, but blue states are escalating 'gently caress Trump': https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/07/china-and-california-sign-deal-to-work-on-climate-change-without-trump quote:Brown later held a closed-door meeting with the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, during which the two pledged to expand trade between California and China with an emphasis on so-called green technologies that could help address climate change, Brown said. Trump’s announcement last week that he wanted to pull out of the Paris accord did not come up, according to the governor. Nonbinding, but still.

This, combined with states forming a climate accord to reach out for an official, even if symbolic, agreement with the UN, could be a really bad thing for the health of our country. Like, to me, such stories seem like they're bigger than even Comey's firing

Well, they're the kind of stories that signal how the US is a failed state, or more accurately a loose confederation of states with radically different ideologies, only glued together by their common belief in exceptionalism and the convenience of a combined military might. Nobody wants to talk about that.

Even you, the person who thought of it, cannot make sense of what you just said. Who do you think he's going to "distract" with an ISIS attack in Tehran? Do you actually know who is doing the Russia investigation? Tape your brain back together.

So I've always wondered, when it's abcnews/wapo poll, does that just mean they both paid to have it commissioned, or that they actually went through and used resources for polling from both groups?

Presumably they have merged their internal polling units, or at least do a lot of cooperation. Not a lot of news organizations can afford them more, so that kind of consolidation makes a lot of sense. Smol fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Jun 7, 2017 |
