I can't argue with this sort of superior logic.

When you spend six months designing and building a 200-ton robot monster, only to discover that a roomba with a salad fork duct-taped to it would have worked just as well, you think about these things.

I would still do it.  For the aesthetic.

We're apparently going to attack Cuba.

Yeah, that's what I'm expecting too, although I am getting some hope from all the DSA candidates that are winning primaries.

I am watching them with interest.

[Karl Rove Predicts Iran Will Try to Hurt Trump in Midterms]

In simple terms, the Iranian theocracy has won this little war. And, they know they are now stronger than they've ever been. And so, it's now just a matter of them extracting the reparations they want from us, and they also know time is on their side.

The POSOTUS believed he had the military capability to force a regime change in Iran simply by ordering a short bombing campaign. But, the result of his failed bombing campaign is that the Iranian theocracy now has the capability to severely weaken the Turd Reich. And, although the Iranian theocracy can not actually destroy the Turd Reich outright, they can easily weaken it by occasionally restricting the flow of oil through the Straits of Hormuz.

Therefore, I see no reason for the Iranian theocracy to come to any kind of a final agreement with the Turd Reich prior to the U.S. Midterm elections.

The original interview this article is based upon is behind a WSJ paywall. But, this is a short summary:   

Karl Rove Predicts Iran Will Try to Hurt Trump in Midterms

As per this article:

"Legendary GOP operative Karl Rove predicted the Iranians would try to hurt President Donald Trump in this fall's midterm elections by creating problems during a Fox News hit over the weekend.

Rove made the point shortly after anchor Paul Gigot observed that Trump "has some persuading to do to convince the public" that the United States' war with Iran has been successful."

And, as per further along in this article:

""Well, even if it happens, I'm not convinced that it's going to be that dispositive, that that's going to determine the outcome, the election, [it] will help, obviously. But look, we're not the only ones who know this. We're not the only ones paying attention to oil prices," replied Rove. "Remember, all of these negotiations with Iran need to be completed by the middle of August. The Iranians are not dumb. They know that the fall campaign starts in earnest on Labor Day. I would not be surprised to see them attempt to have an influence on the outcome by creating problems in mid-August, and causing oil prices to rise and uncertainty to grow.""

And so, I'm obviously not the only one who suspects the Iranians are going to continue to toy with the POSOTUS and his Turd Reich.

That probably means extremely high gas prices, and nasty price shocks on everything that needs to be transported.  I hope, along with the Iranians, that the Democrats sweep the midterms, but I don't want everything to cost obscene amounts to get there, and I also really hope the Democrats take things far more seriously than they have been.  Momdani style action is pretty desparately needed.

The dems will get in.

And then they will say "We have to put all of this behind us."

And no bad actors will be punished.

Its times like these I really miss Cain's opinion

He is very forthcoming on FB.

I don't expect he'll pop in as Cram sometimes does.

Thanks to DOGE, we have screw worms in our cattle again.

I just ate an entire block of cheese.

For caligulas birthday he wants a ufc match on the white house, its classes and base and will appeal to exactly the kind of people who support him.

Yeah, he's managed to utterly destroy the country's 250th birthday.

I find it very refreshing that the world is finally starting to make sense again.

Tariffs on islands full of penguins, and desultory shootings in the street by SS-wannabees that don't even have proper uniforms, I can't work with.

But starting a war in the middle-east is simple to understand.  The penguins do not publicize their third-quarter results, but anyone can read about the Dardanelles campaign, and see how it went.  Now all the boats are stuck, markets and the price of oil are fluctuating wildly, and the goats are at last flying home to roost.

The feedback loop of causality has closed once more, and it's just so damn fun to see actions having consequences that would have been immediately obvious to anyone who read the least bit of history.

Trump was actually told what would happen.  But Hegseth said "nu uh" and Trump chose to believe him.

I guess he figured if he shouted enough, the IRGC would quit.

Rule #2:  "Documenting things will not actually establish accountability.  The only way to establish accountability is skullduggery."

The US has strategic interests in keeping the middle east destabilised and not too friendly, Israel is incredibly useful for that goal.

We had strategic interests in that until 1991.  Since then, it's just habit.

thank you for the welcome.

fair, it was low poly.

i wanted to let the art speak for itself.
but I can also speak for myself.

why this forum?
I like the look at things from different angles,
and tend to like the weird view if you'd ask others.

I like creation 'stuff'. most of it is music, but with the internet, visuals became a have-to add. my mentors are anton, aquino, carrol and L ron and the like. I don't think I have questions, although seem to be on a quest to find new things. where better to look for new things than on the forum of creativity itself?

Great.  Fuck off with it.

The fuck is this shit

This is PD now.

Extinct with an entire fossilized record intact. Very impressive stuff, old man.

We are, after all, professionals.

Sadly, we're extinct.   

Well, you're a sight for sore eyes.
