I'm 57 now. I could still fight like hell for about ten seconds, after that I'm probably in heart attack territory. Even as a young man, 3 minutes of wrestling is extremely taxing. Still, I think I have a decent shot of winning. FYI marines aren't exactly "commandos". In any event, you don't have "a friend who's a Democrat in the marines". Your friends who are democrats and wear berets, also wear scarves.

Every guy was ever out and about got their fair share of challenges, bot not everyone has the stones to man up in that situation. I've even been attacked while I was breaking up other people's fights. I can think of at least 3 occasions where that happened right off the top of my head. If you've never been in a fight, I think that's not flattering.

I think that a lot of players on both sides, who sat on the fence waiting to see which way the wind blows, are going to start to become more/less involved in this fight, now that it decisively going one way. From the pro-IRGC side, if China and Russia could be seen to be helping Iran win, and defend their own country, it could be politically advantageous for them to do that. But all that they can do now is help the Iranian regime sink tankers, and that's 1) not a good look internationally, 2) not good for China's own economy. From the anti-IRGC side, the perceived danger of going directly against Iran's militarily collapsed when Iran's forces folded like a cheap tent. And while there's a highly vocal and irrational pro-regime faction in every western country, the economic impact of the oil shortage is outweighing their fear of terror cells. An international coalition will gain momentum as pro-IRGC forces are squeezed like the zits they are. The current regime will fall completely, because they can't rule from underground bunkers while a new gov't is in the seat of power, and I think that Trump's force of will is going to get his chosen replacement into that seat. It sounds like a lot to ask for, but this one-sided ass-whooping was also unexpected. Everyone thought that Iran was going to be a tougher nut than this.

Ironically, the majority of Somali refugees back in Ilhan's day were Isaaq people. That means that the Somalis who voted for her were unwittingly voting for the daughter a man who helped commit genocide against their own families. Under U.S. law, individuals who have ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in the persecution of any person on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion are ineligible for refugee status or asylum. That means that Ilhan's father was not legally allowed to claim refugee status in the US. It doesn't mean that Ilhan was prohibited from applying herself, because she was too young to have aided in the genocide at that time, though she probably would have loved to. It does however mean that she entered the US via a fraudulent application. I don't personally feel like Ilhan's status as a citizen should change because of this, but it's worth discussing whether or not her father's body should be exhumed and thrown into a sewage lagoon in Somalia.

Will leftists here talk about the failures of the Canadian gov't in Canada? Of course not. Our current PM is blaming Canada's economic woes on Trump. Apparently he forget that we were just as bad off while Biden was POTUS. When our leftists here blame Trump for the economic woes here, do you remind them of 2025, or no?

For the love of god, stop trying to teach other people, robobigot. FYI I never said that Ilhan was guilty of genocide herself, or that she should have to pay reparations to the people who her father helped to commit genocide against. I just think it's not surprising that a person who's as internally ugly as Ilhan the Pig is, was raised by a man who participated in a genocide. I find that it explains a lot.

That's a rudimentary explanation of it. Some have said that the US only propped up that Iranian regime to foster hatred between the Shia and Sunnis, and for all I know that's true. Regardless, SA and Iran are not allies. They are not even allied against Israel anymore. Almost everyone hates the Iranian regime. Now, SA might greatly favour another islamic regime taking over in Iran, but in any event, at the current time, I don't see any indication that SA is closer to joining the fray on Iran's side than America's. Do you have something to back up your belief that SA would ally themselves with Iran?

I could be wrong, but I honestly feel like Iranians are a more educated, less religiously indoctrinated group than the Iraqis and Libyans were back in those days. Iranians have a 98% literacy rate, with the internet bringing them more in-touch with the external world than ever before. Those other countries had literacy rates well below 80%, and all that they could do with what literacy they had was read some propaganda and the Quran. 30 years ago in Iraq and Libya there was no light: no actual understanding of the world outside of islamic tyranny could get through to them. I think Iranians have a far better understanding of what the real world looks like than their neighbours 30 years ago did, just like Canadians have far more information available to us than we did back in the day when the CBC was our only information source.

Just regarding the topic in the title of this thread, it truly is a "holy war", even for atheists like myself, because this war is against the ayatollah's regime, which is an entity that's entirely based on religious bigotry and fanaticism. Right? WWII was about fascism, or more specifically about Naziism, despite the fact that the allied side weren't fascists at all. Well, this war is 100% about an intensely evil and destructive religion that openly preaches the need for genocide. If you could magically strip religion and religious crimes/responses to those crimes from the minds and memories of everyone involved, 99% of them would stand around scratching their heads, wondering what all the fuss was about. Furthermore, what military leaders say to their own troops is immaterial here: the primary job of those leaders it to get peak performance, morale and courage from their fighters. Nothing else. IOW, they are merely trying to elicit a response from their own men when they speak, they are not "setting policy" for the US Gov't.

He's fighting the propaganda war for the Iranians, right? So he actually does consider himself a "Keyboard Commando".

Do you think that SA would be on the side of Yemeni terrorists? As of March 2026, Saudi Arabia – Yemen relations are defined by a complex transition from a decade-long military intervention to a fragile de-escalation, recently complicated by renewed regional instability. Since 2022 they have just had a truce. Right now Saudi Prince MBS is openly in favour of regime-change in Iran. As of March 2026, Saudi - Iranian relations are in a state of severe crisis, with the 2023 rapprochement deal effectively collapsed following a direct military conflict. While the two nations had spent 2024 and 2025 rebuilding diplomatic and economic ties, a regional war that began in late February 2026 has returned them to a state of open hostility. I think that you feel like "Everyone who's a muslim likes Iran", and that's only the case in America, where they're far-removed from the daily BS of co-existing with destructive religious fanatics and terrorists. FYI islamic terrorism isn't just directed at the west: anyone who runs afoul of the ayatollah's plans has terrorists after them. And being a muslim doesn't take you off the list. Much like the US tries to bully the rest of the world around economically, Iran tries to bully the rest of the world using terrorism. And FYI what's going on the Strait of Hormuz is THAT EXACT THING playing out: Iran is using terrorist tactics, aimed at supertankers, to control the world and get out of this war with their regime intact. They're trying to win this war by saying: "If you don't do what we say then we will kill civilians and disrupt the world's economy by sinking oil tankers along our own coastline." AKA, at terrorist threat. That's it. Their military strategy is nothing more than another terrorist threat, even when the gun is in their own mouth, pointed out the back of their own head. That's how f'd up they are. And you want those guys to have nukes 🤣. F'n dummy.

It's impossible to insult any leftist without putting real effort into it. You openly identify with most of the terms that decent people consider to be pejoratives. It's not even an insult to say that you're terrorist supporters, pedophilia supporters, traitors, or that you support fascism, genocide, and the r4ping of women. Those are all just basic facts. How about if you try to come up with a word that's truly insulting, that you don't already wear on your chest as a badge of pride?

I wasn't talking to you about this, John. You chose to talk to me about it, remember? I just said that all leftists were effeminate, and if you're being honest, you know it's true. The left's base is women (especially lesbians), gays and trans. That's about 85% of your voters right there. The majority of straight men who support the Dems are simps, pedophiles and bigots. FYI no real man, and by that I mean "the kind of man who protects women and children", wants men in girls' bathrooms. None. Zero. Not even one on the entire planet. 100% true: Once you eliminate women, gays, trans, simps, bigots and pedophiles from the Dems' base, there are almost zero men left. By a percentage, it's far less than one, and the average IQ of those men is closer to 30 than 100.

Marines, plural... his? Get your story straight. And we both know that you're not on friendly terms with any patriotic Americans, John. Least of all actual soldiers. I can't imagine how anyone who actually has any skin in the game would prefer a world where the Bidens and Obamas were allowing America's most direct antagonist to amass a huge stockpile of ballistic missiles, IRBM's and ICBM's, plus nuclear warheads. And in case you missed it, a fundamental part of the JCPOA was Iran adhering to the restrictions on the ballistic missile program, which they flagrantly violated. The JCPOA was hot garbage. And yes, I would talk to marines about this. 100%.

Sorry, I should wrote *TRIGGER WARNING* at the beginning of that post. Now I can see how it would have been too much for you, Barqmanbun.

So just ignore all the pertinent facts and come bac with a stupid response. You get top marks for that in Berkeley, but in real life you're just an 1diot.

It's pretty clear that the "angry little children" in this scenario are the TDS crowd. Literally all you do is say "😭 Owinhj man bad 😭". Every post of yours on this forum is centred around the fact that you have to pretend that everything Trump does is bd, and anything done by the Dems was better. Case in point, the left's border talking points: "Obama's enforcement of the border, using Tom Homan, was good, and Tom Homan won an award for his awesomeness. Trump's border enforcement, using Tom Homan, is somehow evil and authoritarian." Can you point out the glaring differences between Obama's "perfect" handling of the border and Trump's "evil, authoritarian" job there? You are honestly just a bunch of hypocritical, lying, crying children. Jon Kelly is a pu55y and a loser. He went soft in his old age.

I didn't want to offend the trans-community.

It's not impossible to do that. But Nancy: clearly had meetings with Visa execs received money from Visa, she was involved in policy-making that affected the value of VISA stock she was involved with legal proceedings involving VISA which affected the value of their stock the purchase and sale of her Visa stocks was timed perfectly with information that was unavailable to the general public at the time, but which she was privy to from her appointments in congress

Are you surprised when Hamas supporters have parents who commited genocide? Because I'm not.

I bet if Trudeau forced everyone to take a dangerous jab that they didn't need, left4rds wouldn't hold a single no kings protest. The only thing dumber than a leftist is more than one leftist.

If brains were dynamite, you wouldn't have enough to blow your nose.

A psychiatrist noted that "hate Trump syndrome" can be traced to an individual's insecurities and low self esteem. They resent the masculinity, success and confidence that they themselves can never achieve. I noticed that it's always the more effeminate posters here that don't like Trump. The pearl-clutching man-buns like @Boges, @eyeball, @ExFlyer, @BeaverFever, @Hodad, @robosmith, @Moonbox, @herbie, @Michael Hardner are also the most severe TDS sufferers. Anyone who has ever drank a beer, won a fistfight in a bar, and had sex with a woman because they wanted to, always supports Trump. I stole the above quote from Legato, in the Meme thread.

According to CNN, left4rds are there to protest "the rising cost of living" lol: “No Kings” demonstrations have taken place from coast to coast today, with attendees rallying against President Donald Trump’s policies, the rising cost of living and the war with Iran. Funny, these f-t4rds didn't care about record-setting inflation under Biden, but when gas prices get back to where they were when Joe was theoretically president, "IT'S TOO MUCH!!!!"

First I ever heard of this was today: Between 1981 and 1991, the Somali military in which Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father, served as a senior officer executed a brutal and systematic campaign of genocide targeting the Isaaq people of the modern day Republic of Somaliland. This dark chapter in Africa’s history, which was known as the Isaaq Genocide, was a merciless military campaign that resulted in the killing of over 200,000 Isaaq civilians. It was carried out through relentless aerial bombardments – planes repeatedly strafed fleeing refugees – summary executions, burning of entire villages, deportations, land‑mining of water sources and homes, Holodomor style government enforced man-made famines (the Dabadheer Drought) and the use of paramilitary units such as the Somali Armed Forces’ “Dabar Goynta Isaaqa” (The Isaaq Exterminators), composed exclusively of non-ethnically Isaaq soldiers, to enact mass killings under Somalia’s military direction. It seems as though Ilhan isn't a 1st-generation hateful pig, her father was at least as bad as she is. Ilhan Omar's father, Nur Omar Mohamed, left Somalia in 1991. He and his family fled the country following the outbreak of the Somali Civil War and the collapse of the Siad Barre regime. The Siad Barre Regime was the group that was committing the genocide there. When they were defeated, her father fled the country to escape the repercussions for his actions. Is anyone even surprised to see that level of hate and malice within her immediate family? Doesn't the fact that her father was in a leadership role during a genocide seem to explain everything about her?
