Stopped clock gets it right for a moment: Senate votes to block arms sales.

If that's the same set of bills I looked at earlier, SJ RES 36, 37 (I assume, govtrack didn't list it in the email), and 38, they're also blocking the sales to the UK, Spain, and Italy. Presumably because those three would be likely to sell the munitions on to the Saudis.

Edit: Actually might just be 36 and 38.

SJ RES 36:

JOINT RESOLUTION

Providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed transfer to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Italian Republic of certain defense articles and services.

That the issuance of a manufacturing license, technical assistance license, or export license with respect to any of the following proposed agreements or transfers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Italian Republic is prohibited:
(1)The transfer of the following defense articles, including defense services and technical data, described in Executive Communication 1427 (EC–1427) submitted to Congress pursuant to subsections (c) and (d) of section 36 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2776) and published in the Congressional Record on June 3, 2019:
(A)Coproduction and manufacture in Saudi Arabia of Paveway Pre-Amp Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA), Guidance Electronics Assembly (GEA) CCAs, and Control Actuator System (CAS) CCAs for all Paveway variants.
(B)Coproduction and manufacture in Saudi Arabia of Paveway II Guidance Electronics Detector Assemblies (GEDA) and Computer Control Groups (CCG).

It'd be one thing if they killed a bunch of our people. Even then, a measured series surgical strikes at military targets and greatly increased multilateral sanctions that basically bankrupt them would be a preferred response to that, rather than sending 130k Americans for a full scale invasion.

Oh it's gonna take more than 130k. We got lucky and took a bunch of foreign idiots in with us last time we stumbled into Iraq. This is gonna be more like 250k minimum. Before the international community (lol) throws a pack of useless dildos at the effort. Especially since we're kinda the assholes right now (arguable, let's not though). They'll easily gain support from a variety of international actors and weapons won't be piecemeal cold war leftovers. They also aren't comparable to what we encountered rolling into Iraq, there's a level of competency there that Saddam couldn't train or collect, let alone maintain.

I'm not gonna grover all over this, because I'm trying to not think about middle east wars right now and definitely not educated enough on it, but it will be very ugly if Bolton and Pompeo can drum up even a mousefart of energy into trump to do it.

That said, maybe a grover: persia thread is relevant.

A lot of this stuff is a rerun of the leadup to the Iraq war. It's just that the leadership is stupider and basically refuses to put in even the minimal effort to convince the public. It also doesn't help/hurt that there isn't anybody else left in the administration with blanket nonpartisan credibility, especially with Mattis gone.

So instead you have stupid chucklefucks trying to dickwave on Facebook from their basements :toot:

It's kind of like they have the playbook on how to convince us on a war, but it was written to the college level and they don't quite grasp the concepts.

Iran got ready for this poo poo after Desert Storm. After years of war with Iraq they were pretty worn out; but they saw what happened in 90/91 just like everyone else. The entirety of the list of potential US adversaries collectively gulped and started spending money.

We were doing a GiP sobriety challenge (with a twist) and the penalty for breaking was to do a Smirnoff Ice power hour (or something similarly horrendous). We agreed that you could drink on St. Patrick's day, but the penalty for breaking would increase to doing a FourLoko power hour.

He took the St. Patrick's day option and then fell off the wagon, and then promptly disappeared prior to carrying out his GiPly duty.

Reminder: Joe Biden opposed school busing, and reached out to a proud white supremacist for help opposing it.

quote:

Joe Biden was a freshman senator, the youngest member of the august body, when he reached out to an older colleague for help on one of his early legislative proposals: The courts were ordering racially segregated school districts to bus children to create more integrated classrooms, a practice Biden opposed and wanted to change.

“I want you to know that I very much appreciate your help during this week’s Committee meeting in attempting to bring my antibusing legislation to a vote,” Biden wrote on June 30, 1977.

The recipient of Biden’s entreaty was Sen. James O. Eastland, at the time a well-known segregationist who had called blacks “an inferior race” and once vowed to prevent blacks and whites from eating together in Washington. The exchange, revealed in a series of letters, offers a new glimpse into an old relationship that erupted this week as a major controversy for Biden’s presidential campaign.

Biden on Wednesday night described his relationship with Eastland as one he “had to put up with.” He said of his relationships with Eastland and another staunch segregationist and southern Democrat, Sen. Herman Talmadge of Georgia, that “the fact of the matter is that we were able to do it because we were able to win — we were able to beat them on everything they stood for.”

But the letters show a different type of relationship, one in which they were aligned on a legislative issue. Biden said at the time that he did not think that busing was the best way to integrate schools in Delaware and that systemic racism should be dealt with by investing in schools and improving housing policies.
