"Iraq is Burning Down:" The Situation In Iraq Is So Dire That They're Evacuating US Embassy Personnel From the Rooftop Via Helicopter

NeverTrump promised us that Biden would restore America's standing in the world.

Which is strange, because the world feared and respected us under Trump.


Trey Yingst [Fox News reporter]
@TreyYingst


Lots happening in Baghdad. Keep an eye on Iraq.

"There is going to be NO CIRCUMSTANCE where you see people being LIFTED OFF THE ROOF of a embassy," - Biden, July 2021

#Afghanistan #Iraq

Smash cut to:

The IRGC is the Revolutionary Guards of Iran, their stormtroopers and terrorist forces. The troops and terrorists that the "Austere Religious Scholar," according to the Washington Post, led before Trump ordered a Predator strike on him.


Gee, I wonder if that story is related to this story:

The US would remove all secondary sanctions on Iran and agreed-upon terrorist designations -- this does not include the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps -- and explain to businesses what the lifting of sanctions means.

Spoiler: they're very related.

Quick, let's do a deal with Iran before we've lost our chance:

Wish I could remember anything more about it, or any kind of resource on it. Might have been from one of Michael Yon's write ups or something...

88 Willowed from the She-Hulk sidebar, but another point to be made is that superhero entertainment involving women superheroes -- where the female superhero has to be all-powerful and easily the better of any man – actually bears little resemblance to most entertainment actually aimed at women.

In most women’s entertainment, the woman isn’t a superhero at all, but usually a flawed if not emotionally damaged wreck, but that she still succeeds in life and manages to land a very desirable man. Take the NF series Virgin River (based on a series of books). The main female lead is an emotionally damaged, insecure, needy wreck. She’s attractive but not a Joe Mannix busty beauty. Within 24 hours of moving to a new town, she catches the eye of the town stud. He’s professing his endless love for her in a few months. The other series Outlander has similar themes. My mom and every women I know loves this shit.

So: why is true women entertainment so different from superhero stories involving women? Because those superhero stories aren’t aimed at women. They are aimed at men, to teach men to know their place as inferior to women.

Hussein killed al-Sadr's father, supposedly pretty brutally. Muqtada then became a client of Iran and inherited some of his father's influence.

He opposed the US invasion and we fought with his militia for a while, even though we refused to target him (good going Shrub!).

My memory is that at Hussein's execution people chanted al-Sadr's name and Hussein made some sort of comment about him. But it isn't clear if the executioner actually was al-Sadr or not.

==
It isnt normal practice to land helicopters on the roof there. They aren't using the airport because its not safe to go to the airport. Because the security situation is terrible. They transport of people off of the compound via helicopter is not an evacuation. Its a pre evacuation movement of personnel. When you see smoking rising from the embassy you know they are burning their stuff prior to evac. Probably will do it at night to hide the plume. Thermal vision will show it.

I disagree - I can't stand the entertainment you posted.

Then again, I grew up with the Nancy Drew series (from its origins to its modern era) as a kid and read every one ever written. She might have been flawed, she might have dated a guy, but she was pretty damn heroic and brave in her own right, even as she occasionally screwed up and had to get saved in some books (while she did the saving in many others). Women actually prefer a varied plot, where it's not obvious how it's gonna go and how it's gonna go can change every episode b/c sometimes you're the hero and sometimes, you're not.

Then again, I've never been a soap opera fan, either in fake or reality tv...so maybe I'm not the normal female viewer archetype...

139 In most women’s entertainment, the woman isn’t a superhero at all, but usually a flawed if not emotionally damaged wreck, but that she still succeeds in life and manages to land a very desirable man. Take the NF series Virgin River (based on a series of books). The main female lead is an emotionally damaged, insecure, needy wreck. She’s attractive but not a Joe Mannix busty beauty. Within 24 hours of moving to a new town, she catches the eye of the town stud. He’s professing his endless love for her in a few months. The other series Outlander has similar themes. My mom and every women I know loves this shit.

I think it depends on how schlocky the writing is. In lots of RomCom type movies, the main character's perfect, except for one non-personality, non-threatening flaw. A typical one is she's clumsy. As you said, she'll also be pretty, but not overwhelmingly gorgeous.

237 The executioner was a British-trained policeman, nothing to do with Sadr.

Rick Goldberg is a true and diligent expert on the Iran/JCPOA situation, but I have been amazed over time at how - on the surface - he takes the absurd disastrous statements, ideas, and actions of the pro-nuclear-Iran idiots so seriously, or at least goes to such lengths to treat them as serious, and avoid any harsh words. Perhaps trying to maintain at least the possibility of influence, on some aspect? Dunno.

The "winners will be China and Russia" bit is just silly, though. Iran is about Iran. They're nobody's proxy, and the solution (regime change) will not seriously hurt Moscow or Beijing, but will simply remove some of those regimes' toys for vandalism, which accurately describes their "strategy" involving Iran.

The civil war between Iran-dominated (or at least financed) Iraqi elements and other Shi'a, and Sunni and Kurdish, elements in Iraq has been going on for years.

295 Two More States Follow California's Lead in Banning Sales of New Gas-Powered Cars by 2035
https://tinyurl.com/5c6zc5tw

Massachusetts is poised to do the same after Republican Gov. Charlie Baker signed a clean energy and offshore wind bill earlier this month that said the commonwealth would follow California's lead if they moved forward with a ban on internal combustion engine vehicles.

"California had to go first according to federal law, and now states can piggyback on to the California rule, which Governor Baker has pledged to do," Larry Chretien of the Green Energy Consumers Alliance told NBC Boston. "The legislature is now requiring that and so now the next step is for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to write the regulations that will make it happen."

At least a dozen other states will likely follow in California's footsteps and ban the sale of new gas vehicles

316 Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.”

317 RomComs: You've Got Mail is another outlier. Yes, Meg Ryan's character is cute rather than gorgeous, and there are the standard roadblocks to her getting together with Tom Hanks. However, again it's funny, in a low-key way. Most important, Tom's character is the one who works it so they find each other. Usually in these films it's either the female lead herself, or her mother or aunt or friend. It's nice in YGM to see the man take the lead and succeed.

It's also based on 1940's The Shop Around the Corner, with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan. So YGM has better DNA than most.

then rattles off an endless list of minor annoyances that happened years ago that she's still mad about while becoming increasingly angier.

That story in the Bible is so amazing. Nebuchadnezzar cowed the entire world to bow to his golden image on pain of being burned alive. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said, "Nope." The soldiers who threw them into the furnace died too, because it was so hot. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were saved from the fire, and communed with an angel or other Heavenly being. Nebuchadnezzar saw the miracle and put them in a position of power in Babylon.

With the US out of the picture, that means the Saudi's and the Israeli's will take over control and funding of that anti-Iran movements.

I watched "The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell" with Gary Cooper this weekend.

The TV star surprises were:

1. Peter Graves (Mission Impossible) as an Army aviation captain.
2. Jack Lord (Hawaii Five-O, the original) as a Navy LCDR pilot.
3. Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched) as Jack Lord's character's wife.

For all of you Rons and Ronettes, Ralph Bellamy (Turn those machines back on!) was also in the movie as a congressman.

435 This is all Obama. He sides with Iran, Russia, China. What we think is a black and white conflict isn't: Ukraine and west vs Russia/China is actually Ukraine, China, Russia versus the USA. This is part of Obama's "fundamental transformation". Biden even spoke about how great Putin was in 2012 and gave him our Uranium. This is theater. This is all about destroying the USA.

When the girl found out he had a wife back home she kicked him out. So he moved to Italy and found another girl, who is apparently ok with him having a wife back home. Still getting the check from Sweden and the apartment. And now getting a check from Italy as well.

His show is on NBC Networks. NBC needs Biden to look human. Where I would doubt any politics come up, Biden's ill gotten gains has afforded him some nice wheels and Leno is likely just going to discuss the car and keep politics out of it.

I think we have a chance, in this country, to avoid the worst of it. But Western Europe will be gone and all international trade, with any nations, will stop cold much as it did in the 30's. I think best case is we'd see a drop of 50% in GDP while it ran its course. Of course our economic system would collapse completely as that happened. We'd have to mostly move back to pre-WW1 standards of living.

FenelonSpoke is a good soul and is leading by example of following what the Bible says:
Matthew 5:44 - But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Luke 6:27 - But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you

Leviticus 19:18 - Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.

Obama is the existential threat. Trump is being raided because all roads lead back to him being the problem. He ruined our country.
