I hate to break it to you, but Santa and the Easter Bunny are not real.

 

Just like most of your tinfoil-hat-level assertions.

 

Enough of that, though. Care to elaborate on where you're getting the claim a 'majority of the left sympathizes with' Antifa?

 

 

You got me, I been watching Alex Jones again. Santa is real and so is the Easter Bunny. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is a damn space Jew.

 

So you can't back up the claim in any way? Got it.

[DKTanker]

Oh, this bullshit is so fricking old. In the open some leftists claim to be peaceful, while in the dark they twirl tongues with the bloody hands type. Of course they don't give you evidence. Of course they hide it. This is so fucking old. There's a political branch and a terror branch, always.

And in this case, with the MSM playing along, they have their propaganda branch.

Rioter Who Toppled Confederate Statue In Durham May Receive Scholarship

 

The student charged with pushing down the Confederate statue in Durham, North Carolina on Monday may be rewarded with a scholarship for her actions from North Carolina Central University.

The Chronicle of Higher Education reported on Wednesday that proposals are being made at the college to award Takiyah Thompson, who has been charged with two felonies—participation in a riot and inciting others to riot—for her actions.

News that Thompson was involved in the demonstration was reportedly met with widespread support from campus faculty and students in her Introduction to Political Science class.

“I saw the demonstration and the toppling of the monument. I think it’s a healthy thing for students to have a voice and to be leaders in activism,” said Jim C. Harper II, chair of the history department. “We’re going to do everything we can to support Ms. Thompson.”

Her professor, Allan Cooper, said that the entire class applauded when he revealed to them that Thompson was the person charged with toppling the statue. Following the news, Cooper sent an email to the chair to propose giving Thompson a scholarship.

Thompson wasn’t the only person involved in vandalizing the Confederate statue, which was dedicated to the boys who died in the Civil War, but she was the among the few rioters identified in video footage.

Scott Holmes, a professor at NCCU’s law school, is legally representing Thompson and other rioters who were arrested, pro bono.

“She is an inspiration to watch,” said Holmes. “She gave a brilliant interview, was arrested, came out and had a big smile on her face. She is resilient and smart and knows she’s done something that has awakened the conversation around race.”

Other professors at NCCU are reportedly raising money to cover the legal costs for the rioters.

Trump is ON FIRE tonight. Javanka obviously did not craft this speech! He really called out the media, and called them out hard. It was glorious.

Yes, if Trump calls someone/something liar or dishonest you can be pretty sure they did something right which he lies about now.

Trump is looking like Obama 2.0 in Afghanistan.

 

3,900 more US troops in a limited training/Counter Terrorist role, with open ended commitment. Basically keep from losing.

[Tim the Tank Nut]

that is high praise for Trump from you as you are consistently a disciple of all things Obama (praise to him in all his glory). If he is copying Obama then surely you are pleased with President Trump.

It seems like US situation in Afghanistan is not better (if not worst) then it was of late USSR. And this is without superpower playing against them. Imagine what will it be if China or Iran (both close neighbors in complicated relations with US) decide to throw in additional burning material in form of ATGMs or MANPADs…. Seems like the only real outcome for US is fighting Taliban as long as Taliban agree on some kind of peace agreement that would allow US to withdraw without major loss of face. Not surprising current President is forced to repeat previous President steps.

[Tim the Tank Nut]

we could start killing Taliban in great quantities. The lure of joining may be lessened if it was a death sentence.

In fact, the Taliban may come to the table quicker if there was some pain involved for them.

The idea that we can't place large swaths of the country under surveillance to establish who is Taliban is preposterous.

War is funny like that, you need to make the other side "not alive" to win

It is illusion in fact. Was tried by USSR, but failed- as without USSR\US or reliable local boots on the ground (both military and civilian – teachers, post office workers, mayors etc) in every small village it is impossible to win this type of war (at least without bombing country into stone age to remove population that is base for enemy – and it is unacceptable for many reasons). And flooding the country with troops and civil servants to go door to door will result in significant losses society is not willing to accept. See Soviet experience after Civil War in Central Asia, or after WWII in Western Ukraine and Baltics – endless cycle of “send the young teacher to local school, have him killed by local gang, send armed team to hunt the gang, if lucky kill\arrest some of gang members, send in new young teacher” until new generation of kids educated in this school grow up to become members of new society. Not sure US will do it in Afghanistan, as it is too big place (30+ millions of people, 1\10 of USA) for that strategy.

[Tim the Tank Nut]

maybe you are right but I would like to see the option tried.

we do "big war" very well and "small war" very badly

Enough pressure on Pakistan and the Taliban will wither

Zero thought. All snark. As much as i have come to expect from Trump cultists.

He is right, and the option is untenable. Hard to do "big war", known in NatSec as high intensity conflict, when the enemy refuses to play according to your rules. Of course massacring non combatants is always an immoral and counterproductive option. The West is poor at "small wars" typically counterinsurgency (COIN) because the insurgents have all the advantages, because the goal is a legitimate governing authority in the Nation we are supporting, not war crimes.

 

Too much pressure on Pakistan and the government may fall.

This is all true but incomplete. Almost all the fighting in A'stan is caused by P'stan via Taliban. A'stan army commandos need to start raiding Taliban training camps. Also the border between the two countries needs to be sealed. We don't need a wall at the US/Mexican border. We need a wall along the A/P border. I have watched video showing those savages just walking across into A'stan as if they were on a country stroll.

All this was tested by USSR in many places. Run significant military force (no matter if it is cavalry regiment or tank battalion, depending on the century) into the village – local gang leader\tribal head\feudal and his team will hide in mountains\forest to weather the storm. Villagers will shake hands with soldiers, accept grain and fertilizer bags you bring to them, and express how welcome they are. Probably you will try to give local gang leader\tribal head\feudal lands to poorest of the peasants to establish some kind of new social structure, may be establish medical post with nurse and school with teacher, appoint somebody local mayor. But then your unit will leave to next village – and the next day local gang leader\tribal head\feudal and his men will come back to return his land (and kill those who dare to raise his voice against him), burn medical station and school, kill nurse and teacher and restore everything as it was before you (except, may be, now having shiny new guns you have delivered to local self-defense group).

What you need in fact is not to "win the war", but to bring local people from XV centiry they currently live in to at least XIX century. Can't do this with bombs.
