professor Yes, Rex made a statement referencing something I allegedly stated. But, not in this thread, supposedly related to Covid? So, where's that quote at - from what thread?
Still waiting...

    Par4QC And the humor?! OMG! Hilarious stuff like the post above linking anal swabs with San Francisco - brilliant!

    If I wrote those words it's clear to me that I was being cynical - not funny.

      johnnydoom Did anything actually happen?

      Classic... There's this 'thing' called "news". Maybe check it out someday.
      Meh... not to worry. PA-PLAYA doesn't like to read either...

          professor What's the news? Some troops moved. Some helicopters may have been shot down. Putin said something. Some troops moved away. Nothing appears to have changed anything in any appreciable way. Maybe Prigozhin got a deal with Putin? How much is a deal with Putin worth? The news? That the news is almost completely controlled by the political machine is apparent to anyone that realizes that almost every source deemed "credible" by either party consistently takes one side and doesn't even report any news to the contrary.

            That was a hot 5 minutes out there.

            Apparently, the US has agreed to send Cluster Bombs as part of a larger $800M military aid package. Nasty weapons and we are no longer allowed to use but must still have a stockpile. Dropped these in the first Gulf War, not a friendly weapon, and does not discriminate. However, very effective against tanks.

            An example, a flight of B52s can deliver 185K bomblets. I remember Human Rights Watch being approved to audit historical accounts during the last time we used them in 2003.

              Bravopilot also good against airfields, from what I understand. Yes, very nasty things.

                I'm expecting some sort of military action by the US to distract from current events in the White House. I hope I'm wrong.

                  backinit Luckily the 26 yr olds actually running things don't have the stomach for that, don't think the US people do either. Just odd to me to allow something we do not allow our own military to use.

                      You know, some of you folks bring political to the Clubhouse and then bitch when someone who doesn't agree shares a different opinion.
                      In case folks didn't know, we're engaged in a proxy war with Russia.
                      Likewise, I'd like someone to tell me how we despised the Soviets "intervention" in Afghanistan during Reagan, then Carter administration. At the time, we funded the "insurgents". Who were and now are those insurgents? My, my, the Taliban.

                      It's odd to you that we do these things? Nah, it's our calling card. The "US people" just don't have the stomach for sanctioned military operations on our continent.

                            backinit If that was intended to be political it wouldn't have been worded so "nicely". You people can ease the hell up.

                            So, in more words, refuting, you deny your post was political? Exactly
                            Hmmm, "White House" current events and the suggestion that our donating cluster bombs isn't political? Okay
