Russia isn’t exactly following the law of war.

I don’t see how Putin remains in power regardless of what the end result is. He’ll never be able to leave Russia again.

People want to arrest Bibi, how about Putin?

The blood of thousands of Ukrainian children and grandmas is on his hands.
It is our stated policy never to strike first with nuclear weapons.
In a fight with China, 2 will be at the bottom of the pacific in the first 6 months according to war games.
Lawyers lean left because they see first hand that the law belongs to everyone, not just elites.

Elites don’t like this because it threatens them.

Just another case of “changing the rules” when you don’t like the game.

Then shouldn’t we improve our systems? If a boat can’t stay afloat for 9 months maybe the parts are defective.

Pretty striking to hear this from the commander in chief. I think it shows blatant:

1. Unawareness of the situation, or

2. Disconnect/lack of empathy for what the military actually has to go through.

I think it’s possible with Trump that both are true. His personal connections prevented him from serving in the military. Not the biggest deal, he is certainly not the first president to use privilege to avoid military service and he won’t be the last.

But those who have been on an overseas deployment (and involuntarily extended) understand what the Sailors went through. It seems a foolish quip, which can only alienate a base that is probably prone to support you.

I think it’s safe to say he just lost the vote of 5,000 sailors (as well as their families).
‘Tings dat didn’t happen for $500.
Doesn’t the State deserve to know the full terms?

Shouldn’t voters decide? Companies pollute the state and get rich, all the while Louisianans stay poor.
I agree. States’ rights are superior to an overreaching federal government.

The South fought a war to resist such behaviors but was summarily defeated. That doesn’t mean it’s still right.
Is this the same GWB who let the big banks manipulate mortgage bonds to the point it causes the greatest financial disaster since the Great Depression?

Yea what a shame he didn’t get to put out treasury’s money into the unpredictable stock market.

First downvote.

Islam is just as peaceful/strange/unbelievable a religion as Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, etc.

It’s all in the interpretation.
What? The Steele dossier is a real document. That’s undisputed. Not sure where that came from.
I’m sympathetic to that. But the ship is very well air conditioned.

Imagine googling another man to prove a point.
Downvote if you support the Iranian Navy.
The USS Lincoln is on an :extended: Middle East deployment supporting Iran operations, with 200+ consecutive days at sea (266 days total since November 2025).

The original 7-month cruise was extended after redirection from Trump for Operation Epic Fury and the Iran blockade.

But what most don’t realize is the USS Ford recently completed a longer 326-day deployment, the longest post-Vietnam carrier cruise.

Regardless, I will remind many here that in the height of the GWOT, the U.S. Army extended several active-duty Iraq/Afghanistan tours to 15 months to sustain the surge (and didn’t notify them until they had already completed 12 mos.)

I understand it’s different stuck on a boat, but I have to say I’m embarrassed at our Navy for complaining so loudly about extending for 2 months max. It’s a bad look to our enemies IMO.

Checking in (had one Phizer shot but refused the rest; it was a 3 shot series at the time and I had to have it to travel for my company. Refused to get the rest.)
