Potential Strike Tomorrow

[Scoop Snoop]

That book was interesting, but a tedious read

I felt like I needed several spread sheets to keep track of all the people, parties, battles, uprisings, demands, reactionary activity, strategy of the Habsburgs and other royal houses on playing ethnic, religious, and social groups off of one another. etc.  etc.
This is the kind of book a guy like Muggsy should read but never will because it is the polar opposite of his simplistic, childishly naive takes on things.

Out of the blue you turn a discussion of a book you've read into a personal attack on Muggsy - who's not even involved in the conversation . And you call him childish? The lack of self awareness here is at times mind blowing.

It does encapsulate the inherent problems of European borders and such, even though that's not what the book is trying to be about.

Read some of his posts. Among other gems, he thought that perhaps we should have seized the oil fields in the Mideast. And we should take out the world's bad guys. Of course, there would be no repercussions.

Hey tower, I was a union steward and also sat on our bargaining committee. Maybe we are the only two...

I was on our union's bargaining committee, but wasn't a steward, so ya got me!

And speaking of bargaining, nice job by President Biden and his team to help settle the Longshoremen strike so quickly.

IDF should take out Iran's nukes first and end this bullchit, hey?

[MuggsyB]

IDF should take out Iran's nukes first and this bullchit, hey?

That's just for starters.

Obama took out Iran's nukes.

So when he says something you disagree with address it/him. But why take cheap shots in a discussion of a book in which he's not even included? That's just being a dick.

They called Churchill naive and a warmonger.

I don't have a problem with it Lenny.  I won't  share my comprehensive 5 point plan, and all of its iterations, because I know SScoop and others will cry about it and pretend they are morally superior.

I am morally superior

Touche.

After reflecting upon your reply, I admit that there really is no connection between Muggsy and the book. The book is a scholarly work written by someone who has researched his subject thoroughly rather than someone like Muggsy just blurting out "ideas" that a fifth grader would recognize as nothing more than brainfarts. The author based his points upon a mountain of facts. Muggsy does not have facts. Doesn't need them. He also doesn't need to be rational, accountable, deal with reality, or present any credentials to support his declarations like his oh-so-secret 5-point plan.    If he says that orcas got together to send humans a message or the moose have the right to kill humans "without mercy", it is de facto truth. His comparing himself to Winston Churchill was a nice touch. That dovetails very nicely with his beginning a sentence "If I was in charge....   Sounds like a drunk in a bar. "If I waazzz the prez she...dunt, I woouuuld..."

When scoopers challenged him in the thread about the Israeli/Hamas conflict, he was shocked by the "immorality" of his opponents' takes. Another de facto-that makes him "morally superior". I will add that to the long list of his projections of his characteristics upon his critics including myself. I am happy to hear that you also are morally superior.

So doubling, tripling, quadrupling and quintupling on being a dick just because. Cool.

Lenny, I would be more sympathetic to your point if you hadn't recently come unglued.

Tower, I would be more sympathetic to your personal attack if it was true.

You're conflating "facts" with a concrete plan that eliminates scumbags and worldwide threats.  Let me assure you both "conflicts" would be over and the world would be 1000 times safer if people got their head out of their asses, extricated themselves from la-la-land, and understood that appeasement does not work in certain cases.

Well, as long as you offer assurance, anyone who disagrees with you ever is obviously stoopid and morally inferior.

Do you support trump's appeasement with Ukraine?

[Scoop Snoop]

Not only did he provide assurance, but as details of his 5-point plan emerge, we now know that the plan is concrete. Interesting use of the word conflating (a Muggsy favorite) but I noticed that as usual, he carefully sidestepped addressing my 5 points. Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead.

I really hope he has sent copies to the White House, Joint Chiefs of Staff, the NSA and the UN.

Your hero does this all the time. Why can't I?
