The Somalians here are the Marxist supporters of Mohamed Siad Barre, who lost the Somali Civil War. This guy was such a piece of work that the Soviets abandoned supporting him in the 1980's after he invaded neighboring Ethiopia, which was ruled by Communists as well. These are literally the worst people from one of the worst places on Earth.
What Snyder did at Kansas State is unbelievable. We tend to judge coaches by national titles, but I would argue what he did in Manhattan in the 1990's is the greatest decade of coaching in college football history. They were 0-26-1 in the 27 games prior to him taking over and had only won 137 games in the previous 53 years of football.
The Noriega case is interesting. He was a paid CIA informant while HW Bush was CIA director and alleges he was paid $10 million throughout the years for information and later instrumental intelligence pertaining to Iran-Contra, as he was also violently anti-Communist. Noriega was prohibited from bringing any of this up at his criminal trial. I've always found it odd that his capture occurred days before HW Bush was sworn in as President. They were thick as thieves.
There's been a crisis in Venezuela since they elected Hugo Chavez.

From a literal dual citizen, a Bush supporting hedge fund manager and a guy on the Epstein list. He'll be a Dan Crenshaw clone, albeit with a better temperament.

At this rate the MAGA crowd will have the support of Bill Kristol, the Bush family and the Cheney's by week's end. Next thing you know they'll be referring to Mark Levin, Tom Cotton and Miss Lindsey as "true America First patriots". The hypocrisy is staggering.

OP also cited Elliott Abrams, one of the founders of PNAC. We now have people who claim to be MAGA parroting the language of people whose express goals are globalism.

The Venezuelan people are waking up to liberation today

The sheer arrogance of this statement is mind blowing. Imagine waking up to our capital being bombed by a foreign government and our leader arrested and taken out of the country. Then imagine being told we were now liberated. Don't you think the reaction of millions of Americans would be anger and rage?
quote:

It has been dizzying to watch so many otherwise solid minded MAGA enthusiasts on this very board turn on a dime and suddenly become clapping seals for these regime change operations.

They never changed. We just failed to actually see it. For all their hand-wringing about the Deep State and the establishment, they personify both of these leviathans when it comes to foreign policy.
quote:

Just keep turning a blind eye to the fraud. 

The fraud wouldn't be here if we minded our goddamn business. We got involved in the Somali Civil War. The side we backed lost. We then let them in this country as some sort of consolation prize. The presence of these Somalians has proven that our meddling around the world is a net negative for American citizens. But instead of using this as a lesson, we've got MAGA now wanting regime change in Iran and Venezuela, at a minimum. The MAGA movement has seemingly been co-opted by the Cheney and Bush crowd.

Ain't it though?

Not really. What looked like true anti-government allies for folks like me turned into Mark Levin thinking boomers who would kill their fellow countrymen if it benefited a foreign country.

You "everything's a conspiracy" people are so boring.

Amazing how quickly MAGA folks revert to trusting the government.
quote:

Should we be ok watching a Tiananmen Square massacre incident happening without taking action? A guided bomb to stop it without boots on the ground would be good, no?

What do you call bombing a sovereign country? When the Japanese did it to us, what did we call it? When Al Qaeda flew planes into our buildings, what did we call it? There were no boots on the ground in those situations. It floors me how we can somehow think bombing another country isn't an act of war that will inevitably lead to escalation.
