Quote of the Day
Scrolling through the internet, people remain really fucking stupid, are totally incapable of critical thinking, and they’re completely divorced from any sense of history.
So… Iran’s been fucking with us since I was born, has funded, trained, and enabled some of the most heinous assholes of the last several decades, destabilized an entire region of the Earth, and generally been total pricks.
Previous administrations going back to Jimmy Carter have had problems with the Iranians being total pricks who routinely do evil shit. Each of them did a little something, or nothing, or went full quisling sucked up and bribed them, but mostly they kicked the can down the road to be someone else’s problem for political expediency. Because due to the situation at those times there’d be no overthrowing the fanatics without getting into a protracted ground war that would result in lots of American casualties.
But today, due to a cascading series of current events, the situation has evolved and the American president most likely to say Fuck It YOLO, was presented the opportunity to dog walk this regime without invading. That hadn’t really been an option before.
This was all caused because one of Iran’s many proxy bands of terrorist dickheads flew their waxy terrorist wings too close to the sun and got their dicks blown off by pagers. As that escalated Iran decided to launch a shit ton of missiles which weren’t nearly as impressive as everyone was scared they would be, so then they lost a whole bunch of their leading boss assholes, and the whole world saw that Iranian air defenses were wishful thinking when some B2s buttfucked their impenetrable super bunker.
So then the populace of Iran got really uppity, because they’re sick of these religious fanatic death cultists too. Their asshole government then provided a demonstration of why we’re never ever giving up the 2nd Amendment here.
Except the FAFO president told them not to massacre all those people, and he was sick of their shit. This is the same guy who has made a rather impressive list of military operations that get in, fuck shit up, and then get out fast with minimal American casualties. This man is not George Bush. He does not have a Colin “You Break It You Buy It” Powell. Trump apparently does not seem to give a fuck about “nation building”, which works out because the American people do not want another twenty years of bullshit like Afghanistan or Iraq.
When given the opportunity to kill a ton of bad people, allowing the Iranian people to do the rest, and this opportunity has never come along before, of course Trump is going to go for it. And despite the screaming from the schizophrenic podcaster crowd of the griftosphere, most conservative Americans are very much of the attitude fuck Iran.
(of course libs are gonna lib, so get ready for a bunch of rainbow dipshits to march with Iranian flags next week)

(20+) Larry Correia – Scrolling through the internet, people remain… | Facebook
Correia is an excellent writer and can be very persuasive. When confronted with someone with extraordinary persuasion skills I am immediately on guard. Is it reality they are explaining with exceptional clarity or are they selling a fiction?
After spending a fair about of time thinking about it, I’m inclined to believe Correia is correct as far as he goes. These clowns deserve every ton of high explosive persuasion they get.
I do have some concerns about what things are going to look like a year from now. Are the Iranian people going to be able to clean up the mess after the bombs and missiles stop raining? Will they try and then get machine gunned into hamburger as the military takes control? Will China see this as the most opportune time for “reunification”?
There are always tradeoffs and risk in whatever path chosen. I see the military action as morally justified. I don’t think it really should have been our responsibility to do it, but Israel couldn’t really do it on its own and no one else was stepping up to help them.
As is usual when violence is the correct course of action it is not a good thing. It is merely the least bad option available. I hope the U.S. made the correct tradeoffs.
I’ve been thinking all week that all those M-4 and M-60s Slow Joe, Princess Kneepads & Co. left behind in Afganistan for the fucking enemy to have could have been put to a rather productive use right next door. Air dropped in bundles ot a dozen with mags and ammo they could have been the 21st Century version of the Liberator pistol.
Not to mention “live on TV” proof of the absolute value of the 2nd Amendment and just how important the ability to self-determine – and self protect – is for civilizations.
Yet, Revlon and L’Oreal will sell record amounts of blue hair dye and the users will line up thousands deep to vote for the next batch of brainless fuckups from the party that has spent almost two centuries fucking up everything it touches.
I have spent a bit of time with just war theory. In the Christian world, the major philosophers are Augustine and Aquinas though the beginnings can be seen in the pre-Christian era, notably Aristotle. It is actually fairly similar to self-defense law, scaled up to the nation state. It does pretty well regarding the start of wars but loses the thread as things drag on. The concept of proportionality is widely misunderstood. It is not a function of casualty counting but a question of are the means chosen proportional to end state desired. Thus you see in WW2, the civilian losses from the Allied air war were about 10x what the Germans inflicted on Britain. But the Allies believed that was necessary to get Germany to surrender. I think they were wrong but that their belief was reasonable (self-defense law again). A better case can be made for the atomic bombings in Japan where the major shock probably was necessary to get them to stop. To pass that test, there needs to be an articulation of the end state desired. This has been a problem for the US and still is. The pattern starting with Truman is to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Try that in a self-defense case and pack your bags for prison. Of course, there is no inherent reason that wars need to be just. The victors write the history books.
That’s a pretty good post. Not completely thorough and thought through, but much more so than most. Thank you for sharing!
The problem of lacking the “articulation of the end state desired” is a big one in the US and has been since the media screwed us in Vietnam. Before that, the end state was largely articulated, just not well or loudly. In Vietnam, for instance, the end state was “keep the commies from taking over South Vietnam”, and really, that was all we wanted.
But since then, “well, that’s bad. We should do some stuff” has been about all we seem to get WAY too often, leading to the “forever war” problem.
“I do have some concerns about what things are going to look like a year from now.”
Worse. They’re going to look worse. Every analyst who knows Iran in detail talks about how governments in the west love to underestimate the strength of the IRGC.
Not one of the U.S.’s attempts at military-led regime change post WWII has ever led to a better regime taking its place. Starting in 1961, when we really got into the swing of things: Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Grenada, Libya, Iraq, Bosnia, Sudan, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Libya again, Syria…but don’t worry, this time it’ll totally be different.
Iran has been “a week away from having nukes” for the better part of 30 years. Don’t piss on my head and tell me it’s raining….
Of course you say that. This is being done by the Bad Orange Man – it MUST turn to crap.
That’s not to say that you are wrong (you might not be!), only that I can’t trust you to be saying it in good faith.
But to some extent, I don’t care how it turns out for Iran (for the sake of the common people, I hope it gets better) as long as they stop funding terrorism and fundamentalist Islam outside their own borders. That seems very doable.
Who cares what Iran looks like a year from now. I want their ability to do harm to us removed. I don’t want nation building which is the logic of your comment if it is not let Iran keep poking us.

OK, let’s go there. Historically speaking, the middle east has been a destabilized shithole for the entirety of human f’ing history.
So, why not just stay away?
And we did what Libya, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza? Those seem like wonderfully stable places now. Try an Airbnb in Benghazi lately?
Iran has been funding, training, and enabling heinous assholes?
Ok.
But if our CIA/Mossad hasn’t made Iran look like total amateurs to you at this point? Sorry, I ain’t the one with the critical thinking problem.
We’re the biggest dicks to ever walk the face of the earth, bar none.
Hell, we had two American presidents send pallets of cash over to them to do it. So, who’s really F’ing stupid?
Apparently, we’re getting what we paid for. Iran to be the Babba-yaga in the never-ending GWOT.
I don’t read Larry much. Now I know why. The first two paragraph were insulting propaganda. And the rest is CIA disinformation.
He should be careful. He could be replaced by AI for a lot less money.
I read Larry’s Facebook posts fairly often. Never heard of this guy “Clayton Wood” but I found this post on the same day I read the one Joe quoted from Larry. I found it to also be thought provoking.
