    Food for thought...

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      I love the way he says that Patton was assassinated by the OSS and NKVD as though it's an established fact.

      There's more than a whiff of click-bait about the whole thing.

        I agree with Trump’s position on war. Why do we want to spend our money on it? It’s pointless, we haven’t won anything in decades.

        There’s no conceivable direct conflict possible between nuclear powers. We all have the power to make the world uninhabitable.

        Given that nuclear powers have a remote controlled suicide vest on every other country, shouldn’t our focus be on preventing “mad men” from getting the reigns of military power in all countries?

        I just don’t see how any nuclear power can push around another nuclear power with conventional weapons.

        As this article demonstrates, we still act as if it’s 1940 out there.

          There's the problem.

          If you believe you're guaranteed a place in valhalla if you die in the service of Thor or Odin, what's stopping you?

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
