It is common knowledge that Russia has been using drones supplied by Iran in their war against Ukraine.

North Korea, China, Russia and Iran play together.

I knew they were supporting each other but if Iran decided to retaliate in a big way...and the west decided to give them a wake up...do they have any sort of mutual defense agreements with the Russians?  

It's sadly ironic that a radically religious country like Iran would team up with any non-muslim country...much less Russia.  

I always thought there'd come a time in my life when I'd understand all this shit.  WRONG... I'm more confused now than ever.  I guess our species isn't as smart as we like to think we are.  It'll be ok or it won't.Blink

Sounds like some weapons trade but not a defense agreement but who knows.  It's not like they're transparent about things.

There isn’t any government that I trust at all. Lake of fire for all of them. One thing that annoys the piss out of me is when they say the phrase “threat to our democracy”. They literally mean “theirs”. Not ours. When do we think was the last time it was actually by the people for the people?

Yes, we have problems.  Fucking, lying corrupt politicians, poverty, drugs, and the list goes on.  Problems that every free country is fighting at the moment.

But...I'll take those problems over what the folks in war torn or despot led nations are enduring.

We can always be better but never forget how blessed MOST of us are here in the USA.  We are here on Vital spewing our verbal diarrhea without a single worry that the government is gonna kick in the door and put a bullet in our brain.  We are the lucky ones.  Our forebearers fought to give us that legacy.  It's up to us to pass that freedom forward.  

They say there are no atheists in a foxhole...I'd say we are in that foxhole.  No time for partisan politics.  This is one for all and all for one time.  

Just like WW2...the best of us...saved the rest of us.  

Sorry for the rant.  I'm old and just don't have time or patience for folks that think everything in life should be to their advantage or benefit (not saying you are that guy).  We will probably never achieve balance but that should always be our aim.

Well we ain’t gonna get better unless we hold these assholes nuts to the fire. Accountability or face death. They deserve nothing less.

I hear ya.  I'd sometimes like to see us cut to the chase and rid the world of those traitorous fuckers...but that's not how this joint works.  The sensible folks are supposed to join together and vote 'em out.  

Killing the folks you don't agree with is kinda like Russia, Iran, N. Korea...not great examples.

Sad

When they do traitorous shit that sets the country back on the daily why shouldn’t they be put to death? The only reason this joint is run that way is because we allow it to happen. Stop paying taxes and say come and fucking get it assholes. There’s literally a toothpick propping it all up anyway. Might as well kick that baby in half and let it fall. They can’t afford to kill us otherwise they have no income. That’s why they’ve allowed the southern border to be unsecured. They want to replace those of us who want to end their reign with people that come from shit holes. Not saying those are bad people or that it’s their fault.

China appears ready to make a move on Taiwan. They’ve no doubt been eyeing up the Ukraine situation to see how all the other major powers would react. People have speculated WW3 would begin with Taiwan and China for many years. Let’s hope it doesn’t.

Well it didn't help when Bush (W) said this, that opened the door 20 years ago.

"President Bush, with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at his side in the Oval Office, delivered a firm warning yesterday to the Taiwanese government over its aspirations for independence, telling the island's leaders not to pursue a referendum that has angered mainland China."

Well would you look at that. Another proxy war through Israel. This administration is getting really good at this. It’s not like they left weapons for the enemy or anything.

Iran’s blaming the US of doing the kind of shit that they do…all the time. Bombing civilians…etc. 

No worries. There are PLENTY of F/A-18s that are ready to respond to ANY Iranian Stupidity.

If we'd have done that, 

It wouldn't have been some piss ant terrorists type bombing.

 

They would have known we hit them.

 

Now about that red sea coalition that our dei/woke pentagon was bragging about recently??

I disagree, especially in these situations where the US doesn’t want to be in the headlines. Private sector spec ops jobs all day

And our alleged President was on vacation, Sec Def was in the hospital, and next person in line didn't even know they were in charge. What a clown show we have going on.

Or maybe another $10 billion? Nice round number. How long do you suppose it takes to print that much money?

I'll bet they already started.

Britain and the US are going to carry out strikes on the Houthis. I guess you can't launch missiles at warships and expect nothing back, 72 virgins coming right up.

Some of the stuff that gets downvoted here boggles the mind.

 

Its like we should just continue giving money, let everyone in the world do whatever they want, whenever they want ( with our tax donations) and be happy about it.
