    Something kicking off in Israel

    Our legislators are already trying to make criticism of Israel illegal. And clapped like seals when Netanyahu told Congress they need to crack down on people protesting US involvement in the Gaza conflict (which is constitutionally protected free speech). They should have booed him out of the...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Their people probably aren't as behind a war as some think though. The new Iranian president got elected on a platform of increased relations with the US. That's why Israel killed Haniyeh on the day of the new president's inauguration. To try to force him into taking a more combative stance...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Sounds like propaganda from the Iranians justifying why they're not retaliating. They can't tell their people the truth that it's just the smart thing to do.

    Coup de Grace Builders

    LRI was one of the big Mausingfield builders/proponents. I wonder if that translates to other ARC actions.

    Both of those things are rape at least according to United States law.

    Something kicking off in Israel

    We'd better hope those cooler heads are in Iran. Because obviously we have no control over our insane client-state antagonizing them. Lucky for us, Iran have actually been pretty level-headed about this at least in April. Hoping they do the sensible thing again. Though supposedly this time...

    Precision Rifle Gear McMillan vs Manners

    People have mentioned the EH1 and I liked it a lot when I had it. Is the Manners LRH grip similar to the EH1 or thicker?

    Something kicking off in Israel

    I want you to know how funny it is for me to give you these links, given what you just said. Thank you for that. It also got reported on a bunch in Haaretz (Israeli news channel) as well as other Israeli media if you know how to view their articles without paying to subscribe. I'll even throw in...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    That South Korea behaves (in general) level-headed towards NK and somehow no one has been nuked. They screw with each other but it's relatively tame compared to recent Israel/Iran stuff. Countries don't like committing suicide. That's pretty much what I meant there. And people can make muslim...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Why do we need to? We do that too. Hell, the Iran regime is only in power because they overthrew the massively unpopular Shah who gained power in a US-backed coup of the democratically elected Iranian government in the 1950s. It's worse than North Korea? The whole muslim fearmongering thing...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Israel has been telling us Iran is 6 months away from a nuclear bomb for about 15 years. But even if it was true do we have to help deal with it? If so, why? And if we do, what's the max number of US troop deaths you're willing to take to do it? This is a zero-sum game and any resources we waste...

    Best out the box production/factory bolt rifle around nowadays

    I guess that depends on your ergonomic preference. If you're a Foundation/Manners guy I don't know if you'd like the ergonomics of an AI or Cadex. Do you know if you can deal with a pistol grip and the general ergos of those chassis systems?

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Arafat was negotiating with Rabin, how did Rabin die? And what was the ideology of the person who killed him? But Arafat's culture is the only one destroyed with hatred and revenge. Hell, two weeks ago the Israelis had mobs taking over military courts and military bases demanding for the release...

    Best out the box production/factory bolt rifle around nowadays

    Altus semi-frequently gets Manners stocks in stock that will allow you to skip the wait. Or even ordering from Foundation isn't THAT long of a wait right now. My Centurion that arrived last month was a 5 week wait from the time I ordered (quoted at 5 month possible lead time).

    Best out the box production/factory bolt rifle around nowadays

    What sort of components do you think would have an extended wait? I was just about to mention the Altus action availability and TS Customs (or PVA if that's your preference) route.

    Something kicking off in Israel

    It depends who Israel is making a claim to. If they want the US to do something, you are correct that they don't have to prove anything. Haaretz (Israeli news channel) just reported a week ago that Biden finally figured out that Netanyahu has been lying about the hostage deal to him this whole...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    The first set of allegations that caused the UNRWA funding to stop was about 12 total UNRWA staff. They've probably changed since then. At some points Israelis have claimed 10% of the whole UNRWA organization is Hamas affiliated. I don't know what number they're alleging at the moment. While it...

    NASA Says Astronauts Stranded in Space by Boeing May Be Flown Home by SpaceX in 2025.

    I personally think it's GREAT that Boeing successfully lobbied the US government to let Boeing do many of its own inspections and regulatory activities. Fixing this mess is going to cause them to divert a lot of money away from their whistleblower assassination budget.

    Something kicking off in Israel

    Well no, they didn't prove it. Which is why almost everyone (except the US) who stopped UNRWA funding because of the accusations has since reinstated that funding. Basically what happened was Israel contacted UNRWA with the allegations, UNRWA immediately fired the people and passed the...

    Something kicking off in Israel

    We asked our client-state that is dependent on our military and diplomatic support if they'd let us know before preemptively starting a regional war that we've already agreed to help them in. How do "America First" people feel about our complete subservience to a foreign country? We'll see...
