Unfortunately even a united Middle East has little chance against Israel and its American attack dog. Capitulation and appeasement is likely the more attractive option to them.

“As crazy people exchange gunfire on the street, neighbors lock their doors and hunker down in their houses.”

There’s a decent chance they signed up to hurt brown people, though.

If car companies can’t adapt and innovate in 10 fucking years then they deserve to go under.

The regime will take lessons from Russia in running a proper penal legion. They won’t ever touch a weapon until they get to the front lines, with the enemy in front of them and “barrier troops” behind them.

Russia probably isn’t much of a concern right now.

China…we wouldn’t overextend a conflict to the point where China gets involved, right? …Not again? …For the third time?

They will simply escalate violence with more violence. Our security apparatus has two decades of experience with counterinsurgency to snuff out people who choose this.

This is not a “violence isn’t the answer” post, more of a clarification. Expecting to break the enemy’s will through terror is always a fool’s errand when doubling down/locking in is an option. This will end when one side has killed a sufficient amount of the other side to where they can no longer complete their objectives.
