Parents are how can I put it, slightly conservative, the kids aren't. One side jumped first and they're in a race to wipe each other out as fast as possible. I'd put my money on the kids, they're the only bloody chance that country has.

You're a goddamn pastor, your job requires one day of work, and you go gently caress off for a day and let your kid run the show? Was it during the service? If not then could explain it.

This KSA situation is pretty unreal given it's the year of our Lord 2017. It's a good thing no one in the American really gives a poo poo about the Middle East or we might be hearing about it more.

It appears King Salman and his son Crown Prince Mohammed are waging war against any other factions that could possibly challenge their rule.

MazelTovCocktail posted:So prohibited person? Yep. Question 11 g on the ATF form 4473 asks if you've received a dishonorable discharge, and a DD prohibits possession regardless of how you acquire a firearm. So even if it was a private purchase, he's still legally prohibited from having the gun.

This is probably the beginning of the proxy war that's been burning for a while turning into an open war. It's a good thing we have a fully staffed State Department to prevent us from getting dragged into a war with Iran.

It's the Lebanon poo poo that has me worried. KSA is trying to bait Israel into taking another swing at Hizballah, and if they do, they'll make 2006 look like a picnic. Hizballah has five years of new combat experience given their involvement in Syria, and has learned all kinds of new unconventional warfare tricks from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. To say nothing of all of Hizballah's conventional weapons and war preparations, which are stronger than at any point since their inception. A new round of Israel vs Hizballah would probably see Beirut razed and a fuckton of dead Israelis in Haifa and elsewhere in northern Israel. And lucky me, I'm supposed to go there for a wedding in March.

Hizbollah has been telling Israel for a while now that the next war will be fought on Israeli soil, and I sure as hell believe them. They might not win on Israeli soil but I don't think that's the aim either. It's to bring the consequences of war to Israel itself. I also think Israel knows this and wants no loving piece of that.

It depends on the sect/location. If they're anywhere near Beirut you're probably ok, but if you're near the Israeli far south or the far north ehh.....you're really not supposed to be traveling there anyway as an American citizen right now.

Their only objective would be to make sure neither does Israel and they almost definitely can make that happen. Pretty sure it would fall off a cliff real fast and neither one is that dumb.

This Saudi succession fight has been brewing since before Abdullah died. The remaining Sudairi brothers ultimately outmaneuvered everyone else and now Salman is pushing them off so MbS will take the throne. The writing is on the wall: if you supported the other brothers, get in line or get a bullet.

Hasn't Hizbullah lost like more than 5k men in Syria? What's their combat strength like? Maybe they have gained a lot of combat experience but their massive losses must have greatly impacted their combat effectiveness.

It's like fucktard politicians who can be bought with $10k in donations to vote in a company's interest. It is pathetic how little these loving assholes are bought for. Talk about selling out.

Zeris posted:PROOF WE MUST END THE DEPLORABLE PRACTICE OF DISHONORABLY DISCHARGING AMERICAS HEROES The Daily Beast has his background, finally. It wasn't a dishonorable, it was a Bad Conduct discharge, with a year of confinement. Anyone want to guess what for? (Hint: what do almost all mass shooters have a history of?) https://www.thedailybeast.com/devin-patrick-kelley-idd-as-sutherland-springs-church-killer quote:Kelley was discharged from the Air Force in 2014, according to Defense Department records. Kelley was court-martialed in November 2012 for assaulting his wife and their child. A judge sentenced him with a bad-conduct discharge, 12 months confinement, and two reductions in rank to basic airman, according to an appeals court decision in 2013 that affirmed the decision against Kelley. That explains why he was allowed to have the gun (only dishonorables prohibit ownership), why he got busted down to E-1, and why even the military thought he was a tremendous piece of poo poo.
