I don’t think he’s a boomer, he’s too old. I think he’s born before baby boom. |
Well darn. He just insulted Arabs with a backhanded slap while complimenting Persians. |
| Isn’t it awesome that Trump said two days ago that he wants to be remembered as “the President of peace,” and today says he will blow up the entirety of Iran if they don’t agree to his deal. Sounds peaceful. |
| He sucks |
His take explains that we keep putting our own worldview and bias there. Here, Money and technology correlates to military might but In the Middle East, it’s the opposite. Money is the opposite to war IQ. Yes Saudis and Qataris don’t know anything to fight. They are too rich to know about it. Most of their sons are trust fund kids in ivory towers who don’t have to deal with daily violence. However, We didn’t even win against even the poorest or most backward Arab country (Yemen) last year. We also didn’t win its neighbor Somalia in 1993 and in 2009, they famously took our ship hostage and despite what they told you, we did pay for release. Afghanistan is not Arab but just as similar to Yemen and Somalia in terms of poverty and we lost there too |
TBH he did say a truth Persians are a civilizational peoples They built a complex society thousands of years ago when the Arabs were camel herders |
| It’s like comparing Western Europeans to Eastern European. The poor and those in the trenches and facing daily violence are usually hardened fighters. They don’t need a high gdp or bullshit tanks and fighter jets to win. Look at Israel. It’s a huge paper tiger in the sky but they have zero ground game and are already tired in Lebanon with the ground ambushes. |
And yet the Arabs conquered them and brought them Islam so.. the Europeans failed to do it (Greeks, Roman’s, byzantines) but the Arabs did it. Do you know how impossible Iran is to conquer especially from hot sand desert people to conquer snowy mountainous Iran? |
Persians never conquered anything with their Aryan nation and right now they are at the risk of being nuked by Dumb and Dumber. Arabs used to run Spain and Sicily yet you think they weren’t a great military? At one point, they ran the entire Mediterranean from Atlantic Ocean to Indian Ocean and parts of East and west Africa. Camel herders were the ones who came to greet Jesus at his birth as the king when the Roman’s and Jews banished his mom to the desert to give birth to her bastard kid. The Jews should be bowing at the Arabs feet because they saved them so so many times form the Holy Roman Empire and its violence |
You are wrong, he's beginning of the baby boom, June '46, conceived after WW2. His mum hit the celebratory sauce, and this is what we got.
|
We also had a surplus in 2000 |
| Anyone know why the jets were scrambling at midnight in the DC area last night? |
Alexander the Great in 331 BCE, the Arab-Muslim conquest in the 7th century CE, the Mongol Empire 13th Century CE, Turkic invasions and Anglo-Soviet invasion in 1941. That last one killed about 1/4-1/2 the population of Iran. |
Trump wanted to show off to a random millionaire and ordered them up. |
Tiffany looks the most like him. He’s older than President GW Bush and President Clinton |
