    Iran, the Red Sea, and the West (tm).

    I've reread my post and I think I was quite clear. But to spell it out, India's traditional opponent, Pakistan, is no longer a threat to India. Indeed, were war to break out between India and Pakistan, arguably India's biggest struggle would be not winning too quickly. I mentioned that in...

    Developing Chronology for Stonehenge Construction

    I choose to believe Stonehenge was built by the sexy black Amazons who were the source of the name of California. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calafia

    Iran, the Red Sea, and the West (tm).

    I suppose it makes more sense to say India is a little nervous of the country that insists nothing bad happened on 5 June 1989.

    Republican Bidens and the Failure of the Democratic Party

    I don't think it even needs to be anything as fancy or devious as that. Just take the totally inevitable event of Biden getting the flu or has to rest for a few days due to exhaustion, coupled with him getting bundled into a SUV like Hillary was when she got pneumonia, and the "Biden is...

    Iran, the Red Sea, and the West (tm).

    India and China are also part of the BRICS, and India isn't investing in sophisticated military technology because it is scared of Pakistan these days! The Saudis may be looking to play nice with Iran due to a perceived American disinterest in the Saudi-Iranian rivalry, but that doesn't mean...

    Which films have you seen lately? Vol. 21: Now in CinemaScope!

    Watched Sweeny Todd and the original Mission Impossible. Totally ambivalent to Sweeny Todd. I finished it, which means it wasn't all bad, but it didn't do anything for me. None of the songs stuck in my head, it was over dramatic even for a musical, and the plot just sort of meandered. Mission...

    Iran, the Red Sea, and the West (tm).

    Not following you here. Iran and the Houthis have a close relationship, and Iran has long-standing interests in turning the Houthis into a proxy actor for the Iranian-Saudi cold war. To what degree the Houthis see themselves as part of Iran's "Axis of Resistance" and to what degree they see...

    Iran, the Red Sea, and the West (tm).

    Can you expand on what is "unhinged" about the post? I can see many valid areas of disagreement with the post, but I'm not seeing what makes it "unhinged".

    Which films have you seen lately? Vol. 21: Now in CinemaScope!

    Watched the 1970s Death on the Nile last night. Absolutely stacked cast (David Niven, Maggie Smith, Angela Lansbury, Peter Ustinov) and some great shots of Egypt and the Nile. Slightly undone by the classic Agatha Christie plot. (ie, Poirot doesn't do much investigating, only observing, which...

    Trump's Rump

    I am always a little surprised when I see him inside a church not getting immediately struck by lightning.

    The 2024 US Presidential Election

    One also starts running into the Solomon problem. Cutting the baby in half isn't really a solution for every area of disagreement.

    The 2024 US Presidential Election

    I mean, I would try and forget about Eric if I could. He clearly has already forgotten about Tiffany!

    The 2024 US Presidential Election

    I posted a video clip of Rudy Giuliani calling for trial by combat, and we have video evidence of Jan6 people chanting "Hang Mike Pence". Are you saying neither of those things happened?

    The 2024 US Presidential Election

    I don't see Biden's term in office if he loses the 2024 election ending with him and his collection of weirdos calling for trial by combat to a crowd that would shortly be chanting "Hang Kamala Harris".

    The 2024 US Presidential Election

    I always love it when people can't decide which group of spooks was responsible for something, but are 100% sure it was definitely the spooks. Totally the spooks. Rudy Giuliani on January 6 literally saying "lets have trial by combat" had nothing to do with it. Was Rudy co-opted by the spooks...

    The 2024 US Presidential Election

    Why don't you tell us how you really feel. EDIT: so this isn't drive PC+1, let's flip the question. Why do you think Trump would be a better President than Biden? I'm pretty sure encouraging a mob to storm Congress as they shout "Hang Mike Pence" is a sign your term in office was not a great...

    UK Politics V - Have We Got News For You

    Just when you think the UK can't get any worse, Galloway reappears. At least American politics have a "Last Days of Rome" vibe to them; your politics are more of a "Last Days of the School Board" vibe. Heck, the BBC had as a top news story something about inbred Germans photoshopping a picture.

    Do you remember the time before the internet?

    Nope, I don't remember a time before the internet (I'm 30) but I also know my situation is a bit unique. My dad worked in computer networking so he took the old computer stuff from work to test networking stuff at home, and my mom worked from home. So I've had my own computer as long as I can...
