Working on completing the Geneva Checklist.

The past is always with us - we should study the past to learn for the future - otherwise the same mistakes are repeated. Germany 1939 Israel 2024

Bingo! Exactly right.

Please DON’T!! These are my neighbors!

People in my high school gave out advice like this too, back in the 80s.

What's that channel called, I need it 🤣 for a friend!!!!!!!

who would have to ask the gym bro gentleman

Good question!

This is so funny and it’s criminal how unnoticed

So... a Bunny Dip?

Nah, Hegseth is Crossfit, which is famously for bad form. This is good form.

Everyone on this thread needs to read/listen to ‘I’ll Give Your Barcelona” by Blindboy - a glorious satire of blokes in the gym. shows.acast.com/blindboy/epi...

If you listen closely you can hear his little bumhole clenching as he says "bow".

"TRT" for everyone!

The Red Cross/ Cressant, Geneva Convention and Miltary Rules of Engagement (ROE) protect agressors and ignorance more than thev intended victims of violence....do Americans understand this?

Yes; our leaders are idiots.

If they are allowed to go on unchecked for the next two years, world economy will be in ruins. Much earlier than that, actually. And the USA are part of the world, even if they think they are above it.

Correction: the Department of Defense. Not the "Department of War". trump's executive re-branding order on 9-5-25, does not make it official or legal. Only Congress can do that. Don't comply in advance. Not even to their attempts to change names.

Plot twist: it’s the same wolf, growing at itself in a mirror

Absolutely.

💯

You don't need no war college. You can just go to the dairy aisle of the grocery store and learn there are Large Kurds and Small Kurds. Class dismissed!

Moon Moon and his dumb cousin.

2 Stupid Wolves! 2 Stupid Wolves!

Just one wolf. One big dumb wolf.

Lemon... lime... orange...

Which one wins? Regrettably the wolves have joined forces.

Iirc it was a feature in Stratego

I remember listening to the news growing up in the 80s about struggles to get shipping through the Straight.

We do have a plan! We have about fifty plans! I liked the one with "THE BIG ASS EAGLES FROM LOTR."

It’s now the department of Boo Yah! (Chest Bump!)

Surprised no one on the Trump team has suggested using nukes yet. Probably just a matter of time.

What Constitution? It doesn’t enforce itself, and no one who swore an oath to uphold it is doing so. Fait accompli and all that…

Nah, call it what it is. Was never about defense to begin with

If only the UFC were training the Pentagon instead of the FBI, this war would have already ended long ago, right Pete “Warcrimes-R-Us” Hegseth?

and we haven't even gotten to the Frog and the Scorpian.

Over 20 years ago the US military did a war game where they simulated an invasion of Iran and the guy leading the Iranian forces refused to use trad tactics and as a result wrecked the invaders. The US military reset the game and forced the guy in charge of Iran to use trad tactids and lose.

Same. When the most powerful military in world history is unable to send in ground troops, unable to recruit allies, and has their entire navy hundreds of miles out in the open ocean for fear of being destroyed, it's a very bad look. We have never looked so weak.

3rd generation warfare. Great for beating up Imperial Japan and holding the Fulda Gap, terrible for any conflict of the 21st century. And something the US military refuses to address in wargames because it would inconvenience defence contractors.

Closeted fuck that he is—def wants army of Spartans greased and sent up to his room.

Maybe shutting down the VOA Farsi broadcasts wasn’t a very good idea?

🤪

I just keep thinking, "They DID tell you! You weren't listening! You never listen!"

It's the same wolf.

Prof Norman Dixon wrote the seminal work on the psychology of military incompetence. He found a consistent pattern of the mindset of incompetent Generals. Although not a General, Mr Hegseth measures against a few of the traits, but relevant to this discussion, No 2 is "Anti-intellectualism" ....

That's only one wolf; a stupid wolf.

Meanwhile Hegseth is confused as to how chili affects the price of oil as he thinks it's the Straits of Hormel.

Turns out G.I.Gins experience as Faux News Host didn’t make him qualified for the job. These are the most unqualified and inept people leading us into doom. Every Empire falls and these fuckers single handily caused it!!!

Colleges of War? An average Civilization player could’ve told them this.

Bad enough to be remembered as Operation Epic Fuckup?

Next: Operation Petty Tantrum

You spelt Epstein Fury wrong

whoever came up with "thermopylae" was a marketing genius

I remember thinking before the Iraq War even started, oh the military isn't doing intensive language and cultural training? We're fckd.

Iranian schools are open on Saturdays so don’t bomb them.

These people are idiots.

Sunni? Shia? Kurds? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and different kinds of Muslims? Who knew that!?!

Those sound like the same wolf, just “before” and “after.”

Holy cow, they are so fragile!!

Well, my fully-electric car-driving ass just got a little smugger.

Lol. I love this. I also think these "two wolves" (anti- intellectualism and provincialism) inhabit US socio-political thinking in the minds of the electorate.

Ah….such ballbags!

The two things this department doesn't understand is gays and straits.

And both are drunk

Three, if you count the one trying to cover up the Epstein Files...

To think that Hegseth holds degrees from Princeton and Harvard where he had to do some book learning himself.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee more like it, or maybe Three Stooges; Stupid is as Stupid does, ... i can go on ...

Wolves or Dodo birds?

Those that walked away are good well principled people for doing so. YS has entire Cabinet chosen because they were mucky, there are no good well principled folks there. So they’re not gonna walk away I don’t really know enough about Boris to have made the comment I did

Nadine Dorries was a classic example. She's the Kristi Noem of the UK under Johnson. Utterly incompetent, would never have got a look in under a decent PM, but because she gazed adoringly at him continually (and maybe more) she was given a cabinet role.

True

😱

Dullards.

Well, we have something new for a future Democratic Congress to investigate in addition to DOGE, ICE, politicization of the Justice department, self dealing for Trump and family members, and paid-for pardons

Yes RIGHT NOW!!!

Check out the campaign name on my Zeitlangers.com website

Morons

There are quite a lot of different Kurds according to Kegsbreath; Strawberry, Lemon, Raspberry, Grapefruit, Lime, etc.

Interesting that there is a recent movie and book about the benefits of listening to academics during a war. Movie: Pressure. Book: Book and Dagger: How Librarians and Scholars Became the Unlikely Spies of WWII.

Let’s not forget our expertise in regime change.

MAGA morons running a country and following a convicted felon pedophile. The US gave new meaning to FUBAR. Trump is the least of your worries, it’s his constituents

Once there were two wolves, one ate the sun, the other the moon and the world went to Ragnarok

Yes, I've heard history doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes. This is why young ppl should shadow older, wiser people, but Chump-stein did it backwards. Although a criminal listens to noone but themself. Stop the war, NOW! and let's get back to the the dead-beats in the Epstein files. Impeach asap.

It’s called the Department of Special Operations !

If nothing else, we proved our impotence in defending our Gulf allies. What the royal families decide to do next is the big question. Iran can hurt them way worse than so far and everyone there knows it.

Wolf 1: *firing M-60 upwards while screaming incoherently* Wolf 2: How come nobody ever told me bullets fall back down to Earth?

Their ignorance and arrogance has already killed Americans.

Brexiters learning about the importance of Dover to British economy but on scale.

The American Idiots are running the asylum.

Nobody told these gobshites that the most powerful weapon is knowledge.

"The strait"? How come? They never heard of the thing. He was calling it "Straits". Like DireStraits or something something.

Kurds are what's in cottage cheese, right?
