OMG, sounds like Pedocon's gonna send in ground troops.

Hogsbreath just said “we will control Iran soon.” Can’t do that from the air.

He’s going to fuck up the fuck up.

They once had power. But they gave it away and it's not coming back. Not any time soon.

If the American fuhrer orders strikes on Cuba or on Greeenland, will our military leaders discover their integrity to refuse? Will the rank and file soldiers refuse?
