I blame the bourgeois. It's a conspiracy against proletariat Hawaiians I say!

I'm actually sad. Granted, he's a dick.... He was a strong leader. Sure he could have so many better qualities, but he was good Yin to our Yang. Better than Hitler or Stalin, that's for sure. I don't believe the west or America is the best ideal for the world per say. So my big question is: who will replace him? Will it be worse or better?

Sir or madam, within 1 week at Non Grata I learned to never launch links from people I do not know. This has served me well and will continue to serve me well. So forgive me if this link goes unheeded given the likely subject matter. That said, though I accept that something exists and believe it should be recognized, that does not mean I revel in it. I was simply pointing out an inaccuracy in the original poll. Gender identification is a complicated cultural and biological matter, which does not lend itself to binary questions. This is why it is annoying when people ask for your "man card" anytime you don't act within strict gender guidelines. Enjoying the odd musical/romance or two does not make one less of a man, especially when you have been elbow deep in a deer carcass and drink whiskey neat. Sorry if that offends you, oh urban cowboy who owns and never uses five different handguns, but can't drink his coffee black. There is a rare trait some people are born with called intersex. This has nothing to do with "gender identification" either, which is just a concept of thought. It is a congenital anomaly of the reproductive and sexual system, not to be confused with transexual surgical procedures. It's neither male or female, technically speaking, and many intersex people consider themselves neither gender.

Russia has their friends. In fact, I hear their relations with Germany weren't too bad before this. I think the Russians are just sick of us trying to box them into the east and buddying up to the post Soviet states, luring them away from Russia's influence.

New stuff from PaW!

No, that's been happening since the Soviet Union fell. Russia is one of the most dangerous nations for journalists to travel to. The place is described by the US government as a "virtual mafia state."

Holy shit! XD The sad thing is, the idiot Russians believe it. What is there not to believe? They get propaganda shoved down their throat. Even if Putin is involved, do you really think any Russia would be dumb enough to accuse him of being involved? I'd rather be an idiot than a dead man. All nations shove propaganda down their citizens throats. Some more than others, but they all do. apart from the current gang thats running the place no? >_> ^^^^^ apart from the current gang thats running the place no? >_> I never said I liked the current ones. But there are worse possibilitys. Worse than the Russian Mafia and KGB having a kid?

<(" <)

Good old Russia. :V

Here is something cooler. Russia vs Ukraine

https://news.vice.com/article/uk-deployment-of-75-military-advisers-to-ukraine-raises-concerns-over-mission-creep How close can we get to war with Russia?

Where is the Iraqi Army?

I would totally believe that. According to IS fighters (too lazy to look up a source ATM), they have been amassing a huge stockpile of all sorts of different drugs. But hey, who doesn't want to get laid before they get in a car wreck with a US Hellfire Missile?

Do you have a source for that?

I actually take that back. I do specifically remember the CIA was funneling anti govt media into Syria for years. Nope. Just trying to make sense of it. That's not what our own government has implied. Granted, they've pushed the implied date back like 2 decades, but have implied that an independent Kurdistan could exist in the future. And lets be honest, of all the factions involved, they deserve it the most. Turkey is still struggling to meet the demands we've placed on them to become a "modernized, civil country." And I still wouldn't say the Kurds were made by the Soviets at all. The conflict of Kurdish independents still predates the USSR and through history has ebbed and flowed. Even without USSR, it would rise again.

Stable or not stable, it's about control. Iraq was just over pretty much nothing other than Bush trying to fill daddys shoes. Afghanistan was retaliation for 9/11, aiding Iraq against Iran is just because Shia are a minority and less profitable to exploit. It makes no sense to hold such a stance. It's just overall competition between much larger powers for influence over resources. You have to understand that instability is not the goal. Division however is. The world chopped up the Ottoman Empire after WWI and divided it amongst foreign powers to fuel our own industrialization. We created fake lines in the sand and instilled false senses of nationalism. The goal was not instability. It was to permanently erase the Caliphate from history or future and exploit the entire region to fuel industrialization. The Islamic State is very aware of that, which is exactly why they are doing what they are doing. Citation needed. We support the FSA solely because they are the only group who aren't necessarily Sunni extremists who want Assad removed. That being said, FSA is a garbage ally of Al Nusra with no political goals. They are simply Sunni defectors who hate Alawites. The Kurds are not even a single united faction. The US relations with the Kurds are pretty damn good in modern times. I mean, we are the ones who created the autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan. According to our own government, there is nothing to suggest they will not support an independent Kurdistan, but quite the opposite. The modern day conflicts between the Kurds and their neighbors, specifically Iran is a conflict that predates the United States. They have been trying to get an independent Kurdistan for hundreds of years. The Soviets by no means "created" the Kurds.

The Kurds were not created by the Soviets... Where the hell did you get that from? The Kurds are an ancient people far older than Iraq, USSR or any western nation. And we don't hate them. We're rather fond of them in comparison to their neighbors. Umyeahno... We don't want the area destabilized. We want the opposite so we can actually access said oil. That's why we propped up the government we did. And the US has no control over whether Iran and Saudi Arabia to get involved. Iran is already quite involved in the situation. More so than we are, and for good reason. IS is quite literally waging war against Iran as we speak. They HAVE to be involved.

Fuck Iraq. The Shia government in the east has already lost all credibility in the eyes of both Sunnis and Kurds. I don't think there is any repairing that. The only involvement I'm OK with is arming the Kurds. Air strikes and training can be handled by the people actually there. Like Jordan. Jordan is always boasting it's military. They're obsessed with it. Let them prove their worth.

Is this supposed to be news? 21 people? That's not even bad compared to hundreds they've already murdered in cold blood.... Let them solve their own fucking problems. If the Iraqi people can't fight and earn their own future, that's their own problem. We can't just jump in and save every motherfucker in the world from lunatics. We can't even do it in our own nation, why should we be doing it in another? Freedom is best appreciated when earned. Our jumping in to save their sorry asses will only result in an exact repeat. My opinion is not your opinion. What makes you think the case is different on a vastly larger scale? They took over 1/3 of Iraq and 1/3 of Syria in a single day. What makes a single air field they can't even use a big difference? None of this is even news. It's just a bunch of pencil pushing desk sitting war monger media cunts calling for a war because hey, it's something interesting to report on. Screw all the dead. They're just statistics and the images of their corpses make for good gritty coverage that people will watch and get emotional over. Well, guess what? I'm emotional over it. I have very close family and friends in the military and I might actually freak the fuck out if this goes any further. Same for Ukraine. Fuck our government and their self interested bullshit, throwing away lives for the sake of looking powerful on the world stage. My family is not there for them to boast their fucking egos.

Hmm. I'm not sure if this was hate crime. There have been numerous accounts of minorities being killed at odd times for reasons completely unrelated to what's going on the world (in regards to race/religion). Based on the evidence, I want to say this was not a hate crime and just coincidence that it happened to be during a time of dispute between Muslims and non-muslims. But IDK. And nobody in this thread knows. The only person who does know is Mr. Hicks. Shame that people are using such inconclusive violence as a means to divide communities though. Why does everyone have to generalize? Why can't we just settle with "this person was bad" instead of "these people are bad?" The global religious tension is building. And I don't think it's going to end well.

I dont have social medias.... Any link to this? NVMD... *Reads*

Repeating the same thing over and over with no results has been American military strategy since Vietnam.

I almost want to join NG solely to go through the application process...
