  • I have a tattoo that means "I don't know, I don't speak japanese." It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn't speak the language.

  • Alarm as Pentagon Confirms Deployment of US Troops to Israel
  • In case people aren't clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren't infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

    Don't be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel's ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

  • Pentagon confirms missile defence system and troops deploying to Israel
  • That's not what's going on here, but okay I guess.

    Edit to insert a comment I wrote elsewhere:

  • Ukraine claims Russian Rostov-on-Don submarine sunk in Crimea
  • "And Russia's internal security service, the FSB, recently said it foiled a Ukrainian plot to destroy its last remaining aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. The ship, launched in 1985, has been undergoing repairs since 2018."

    I hope Ukraine can still make this happen. That would a be huge win, even if the carrier is never functional and isn't in the black sea. Imagine if Russia no longer even had a carrier. That'd be one way to put them in their place.

  • 9/11 terrorist begs judge to send him to France amid fears Trump will order execution
  • 'The terrorist wrote in his letter that he was warned by an attorney and a professor “that US law permit the US President to sentence to death any federal prisonneer [sic] deem to be a threat to National security.”'

    He says that the President can do this, but it's something I've never heard of and I can't find anything to back his claim up. Is this even true?

    Edit: Seems like something the author should have verified as well.

  • A message to wavering Democrats
  • No one here is suggesting we should reelect Trump. People are saying that Biden will lose. The only chance we have, however slim, is to ditch the guy who can't form coherent sentences. People didn't vote for Biden because he's Biden. People voted for Biden because he's not Trump. Whoever takes his place will also have that going for them, with the advantage of being lucid.
