RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - FREE WHITE HOUSE MONTAGE
Does remind me of Borderlands, but must just be the way the trailer's presented more than anything else.

What are you playing right now?
Back to Overwatch competitive, torturing myself listening to people who think they are witty or a lot of French people snarking at Americans for not understanding French for some reason.

Politics Thread: Edge of Seventeen
Most likely Israel would be busy invading Lebanon and Syria, and the US will have the 'help' of Saudi etc instead unless they get them to go draw an F15 in the corner while the adults are working. Six months later we'll get "who would have thought international relations were this complicated?" It certainly doesn't help that the only time the US media as a whole ever gets behind Trump is when he's firing missiles at people. The preference for stupid 'strength' over nuanced sense isn't just from Trump. Israel trying both would be a disaster, I would wager, as well. Heck even one. Israel would 'win' even against both, but very much with the air quotes. Their main aim would almost certainly be to restart/ exacerbate the civil wars there to get their enemies fighting each other rather than doing prolonged fighting themselves. They might achieve it, but it seems unlikely since the single unifying strand in Syria and Lebanon is hatred of Israel, so anyone helping them will be viewed as a traitor. Plus there's the question of what Russia would do under such circumstances, and while Putin seems OK with some limited strikes by Israel he's temperamentally unlikely to back down if Israel tries more than that. Fundamentally though, any invasion of Iran will result in their proxies fighting whatever 'coalition' is scraped together throughout Lebanon to Iran, and that practically means that Iraq, Syria and Lebanon become involved whatever anyone wants; and that will involve Israel either invading pre-emptively or being dragged in. Fair enough, was thinking their aim would be something more than setting fire to the neighbour's houses. I had thought the aim would be to crush Hezbollah, which I doubt they can do without getting stuck in one messy and expensive conflict their public would tire of. Maybe I'm underestimating the IDF, though. Good thing I am not a head of a foreign office

Inspired by Shady's post I was listening to Ice Cube. Coworker decided take my USB headset out for a call while I was out, so the audio reverted to the speakers on the monitors, so the office got 30 seconds of "Good Cop, bad Cop"- What did you do today?
Did anyone say Shady's a pimp?- Politics Thread: Edge of Seventeen
Yeah, invading Iran solo is going to work out so well for the US. Ah, wait forgot they can count on Israel - though wonder how much the IDF could spare for any invasion.- What did you do today?
Only reason I go to work.- Battletech
Yeah, it'd be great if pilots ejected after being made combat ineffective. Haven't played in a bit as finding the missions a chore, partly due to my lack of heavies.- What did you do today?
Well illegals will work for less and you can threaten them with ICE. Two wins!- What did you do today?
Hire some illegals to help out.- UK: GULAGED for WRONG THINK

Well the sarcoma on my doggo hasn't spread so the doctor is optimistic. Will suck to subject him to chemo for a month. So that's good news of sorts.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - FREE WHITE HOUSE MONTAGE

Death to America isn't that close to declaring war though, at this point.- What are you playing right now?
Still plodding on through Battletech, bit tedious at the moment as I inevitably seem to be LRM spammed to death, heh. Also doing some Overwatch for my sins- Politics Thread: Edge of Seventeen
Israel found the time right to light up some Iranians in Syria, I see.- What are you playing right now?
Aw man, now literally everyone I know that plays WoW has access to beta except me. They like me, been in TBC, WoD, Legion betas as well.- Funny Posts Inquire Within
They would have a fun time getting through Canada, for sure.- Politics Thread: Edge of Seventeen
Not really, Presidents don't do anything single handedly- Politics Thread: Edge of Seventeen

That's just your bigotry talking. Plenty of people say the same thing about Christianity. Can you make a discussion without resorting to insulting your opponent, Mr. Teacher? Try making an argument, go on, this will only hurt for a while. This is rich. - Politics Thread: Edge of Seventeen
