OT: OT-“Look, maybe I didn’t say every single little tiny syllable, no. But basically I said them, yeah.”

"I'm sorry we repeatedly gang-raped innocent Yazidi girls and executed their shackled brothers and fathers for being kuffar."

Paint me unconvinced.

Hey, is this "politics"? Asking for a friend.

Close to it. But yeah, it's likely going to be new horrors on those who served the former authoritarian there. Also figure the Turks are going to push into Kurdish territory again with that pogrom they've been running.

Sad.

Almost like the Middle East is one F'd up place full of bad guys in power.

The lessor of two evils is still a MFer.

Will fix everything
Man this OT thread is getting spicy

Middle east politics? corporate malfeasance??

Anyone got an infidelity? Domestic issues in their extended family drama?

If the team on the ice can't deliver me entertainment, you guys are going to have to step it up.

Thats why you don't let Britain and France draw your borders.
Meh.

Sunni-Shia. Ottomans/Turkey-Persia/Iran. Israel-everyone.

There's enmity going back many centuries. I'll give the colonials a pass for the most part. No conceivable borders would have prevented the inevitable.

Not directing this at you, but we have a skewed view of the world from here in Fortress America. Two massive oceans and two benign, militarily impotent neighbors (drug cartels aside) still matter. An invasion by hostile ground troops is pretty much unimaginable. Not so just about anywhere else on the planet.

Now if we could only learn to mind our own damn business.

Australasia is the same. Australia is girt by sea ... as are we but we don't use words like "girt".

I posted this in the visitor thread but it's not commonly visited, so I thought I'd try it here too

.................

Found this place to stay when I'm over there. Looks pretty awesome.


Is there any obvious reason that I shouldn't stay there? Like the neighborhood is affectionately known as stabby central by the locals? Or the fire department shut it down 28 times for fire code violations? Or they expect you to eat pizza with a knife and fork? Or Steve works there and everyone hates Steve? f*** Steve

My ex and I stayed there one night years ago. It was impressive.
