Just to be clear here, was this Iranian general in Iraq officially on a state passport doing official state business in a country that diplomatically recognizes the government he worked for?

At least when we violated Pakistani territory to assassinate OBL he was generally recognized as an outlaw and Pakistan basically had to say “oh uh thanks for taking care of that!”

Don't you worry about that. We declared the IRGC a terrorist organization a few months ago so it's okay!

Apparently a second wave of missiles have been launched. US fighters have launched from UAE. Iran has said any country that allows the USA to strike them becomes a target themselves.

Looks like war were declared.

Tweets in the tff chat thread. Pretty sure someone posted the tweet from Iranian officials saying any country supporting will be a valid target as well.

War were declared was just a futurama joke.

I was specifically referring to the "more missiles" and the "us fighters from the uae" parts.

Thankfully we have a sane and competent government that's not run by a brain worm infested reality TV star.

Yeah, they directly attacked US (controlled) bases with ballistic missiles. There's no way this administration lets this go.

So basically she is your average Republican?

Also who the hell thinks the Rogan podcast is a Nazi platform? Have you listened to it all? Mind you I mostly use it for his science and medical guests but if you’re referring to individuals such as Jordan Peterson and other like minded folk there is a reason to give them such a long format platform. When you let someone talk for 3 hours you get the gist of what that person is all about, good or bad. Compare that to most people’s source of info, Twitter and YouTube clips. I’d say the only negative thing about his podcast is Rogan never really debates or calls people out on their bullshit, mainly because their niche is way out of his league.

In case you didn't notice with Milo and the rest of those alt right fucks, deplatforming works. Giving those shitheads air time that gets to millions of listeners just causes more people to go "huh, maybe this 'Hitler' guy isn't so bad after all"

Yes, it's true.
The physiological difference between fully grown post pubertal adult men and women in athletic performance is vast. In muscle mass, bone density and the associated peak upper body strength and anaerobic burst capacity.
It makes a huge difference, and is what allows these regional boys high school teams to simply outmuscle the far more technical National Women's teams.
