Elmo. You Muppet.

I doubt whether you or a few others had seen the word priapism prior to GuySmiley posting it.

If your simple brain can’t work out that it is/was all just a bit of fun, well you’re definitely not the life of the party, your personality comes across as stiff, very erect and prolonging.

We like learning, you may not, so playing around with any uncommon word is good for the brain, wouldn’t you say. Lighten up. AW

Read my post again the message Trump is sending is to Iran going direct to the puppet master, Iranian's are Persians not Arabs, and all the steps dont involve civilian war causalities.

-Sanctions
-Military target strikes
-Nuclear facility strikes

And in extreme cases things like oil facilities

To be fair to the Iran government, thats one area that you must respect them, they dont use their civilians as human shields, although weapon manufacturing or storage facilties in may still be in built up areas.

Very simply you make the puppet master hurt, because the puppet master unlike the puppets, jihadist like Hamas or Palestine Islamic Jihad actually care when they hurt.

As for sources of information and your dissing of Youtube.

1. Social media= Generally not a good source of information, generally short and even qualified opinions can be misleading in a 30 second twitter clip or quote.

2.Print news articles= Very short condensed information a page worth is only minutes worth in other forms such as podcast or Youtube videos, its fine for basic updates but not for diving deeper

2. Books= Great for history etc, but not current events, they wont be published until some time after.

3. Radio or TV= Can have some good source's of information these are generally just the podcast and YouTube of old, problem is even if your getting info from ABC you are better going with an ABC podcast you will get a far more detailed in depth take, although things like ABC podcast are pretty limited in information and updates as dealk with so many other topics.

4. Podcast=One of the best source of detailed information, you can get the views from those in the top of their field or even involved in the conflict, pretty much as things unfold and you are generally getting it from people who have followed these events in detail for years or even lived these thing's for years.

Of course you need to not just listen or follow one but get a variety of takes.

5. Youtube: Pretty much the same as Podcast, and has the advantage of getting updates on footage too.

Basically people like you are old farts out of touch with the ever changing information world, thats why you dont get how Podcast helped Trump get over the line, lots of young people dont even watch much TV let alone read a paper.

I'll also type this elsewhere so people don't miss it...

The forums have been a chore for the last few months but change is afoot. In a few weeks, a new year begins and with it a new start. It won't quite be zero tolerance but pretty close to it when it comes to things such as repetitive posting - got that Sexy Jeff? - and argument by Youtube - hear that Jelly Flater?

It'd be nice to get the place back to where it was when many people posted on a broad range of topics rather than the usual walruses bleating the same old shite.

It might piss a few people off...but fuck it. Those few people are causing it a slow death anyway.

…..hahahahaha

- from the noinfo gerbil sphere:

‘This is a real smart move by Trump, both politically and practically.

He has now set a deadline date, you always set a deadline date when you want something done, and he also made it clear there is consequences if the hostages are not released if that date is not met.

However, you have to follow through with the threat if the deadline is not met, with Biden they would go yeah right whatever, but Trump is much more unpredictable and likely to follow through, so more likely to get results.

It's smart politically because if the hostages are somehow released before Trump gets in it's a win for Trump, he can claim it was because of him not Biden, and lets be real if it happens it will be because of the fear of Trump, nothing to do with Biden, if it was it would have happened under Biden long ago.

Id expect though this is a really a threat to Iran rather than Hamas, you have to go after the puppet master not just the puppet, you put the pressure on them, who then puts pressure on Hamas.

The consequences can come in all manner of forms for Iran from sanctions etc to supporting Israel in what is needed to take out underground nuclear sites.

You start small and increase pressure through a number of steps, sanctions, extra help for Israel to hit more military sites, then help with what is needed to hit underground nuclear sites, if still no results you have to make them suffer economically hitting oil sites etc, problem is you dont want to affect USA oil prices and shoot yourself in the foot, and you also dont want Iran people to support their government, so you need to be careful and smart.

But just the idea that the USA now are so much more supportive of Israel changes the whole game, before USA being so wishy washy and even holding Israel back with threats like they cant go into Raffa or restriction's on bombs etc was actually encouraging and rewarding Iran & it's proxies to stretch things out as long as they can, especially when they were happily seeing friction between both leaders, it was so counter productive.”

^ “ It'd be nice to get the place back to where it was when many people posted on a broad range of topics rather than the usual walruses bleating the same old shite.” (in good faith, of course)

You’re the one with the photographic memory,
when was the last time you saw them ,
Or is that an ongoing issue for you?
Yes new rules, so you’d better pull your own head in with the derogatory flaccid remarks!

You might also be an old fart, but my post wasn't directed at you it was directed at Guy, who often bags out Youtube and Podcast.

If your suggesting my thought's on Trumps tweet is bullshit, great id love to hear why you dont agree and give me your take

^^ apologies @info in addition to yourtoob I also should have mentioned the use of AI in your posts given your previous years long struggle to string two short sentences together without the usual punctuation, spelling and grammar mistakes. But as to your most recent post I’m glad you are now reading books because I remember you saying you didn’t and around this conversation you committed yourself to reading Dark Emu which you later said you hadn’t but then again it could all be, well you know more BS on your part!

As for your cheering for Trump being “unpredictable” and “tough” suggest you accept this as fact, coz, this “old fart” as seen it before

IMG-2430

And this, not forgetting the direct link of Nixon’s actions to the murder of up to 2 million Cambodians

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Menu

And while you’re at it @info check out what followed the fall of Iraq and the up to 1 million dead as a result of that illegal war … I’ll give you a hint google ISIS

All very complex for your pea brain to comprehend I know

Using AI, Ha ha im going to take that as a compliment, I guess that means you think my post was well thought out and that my effort to work on my grammar and spelling etc is paying off a little, im sure the grammar police could still pick my post apart though.

Im sorry but every war and political situation is very different, im sure there is countless examples through history where a strong unpredictable leader has prevented war or changed a war in the way they wanted.

One thing for certain a wishy washy piss weak president hasn't helped much in this situation.

All situation's in the middle east are very different and yes complex, you thinking they are the same or one event means this for another event is complete garbage.
