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...

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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".

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...

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

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

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

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?

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".
