Is that how it worked? I seem to remember Iran having to be the adult in the room last year and ending the back-and-forth rocket attacks.

Appeasement does not work. Didn’t in the '30s, and will not now. The Likud and other war-hawk fascist sorts will continue to push and consolidate power if their platform shows results (we are untouchable). Maybe Biden’s Chamberlain strategy delayed war, but it did not and cannot prevent it so long as it insulates Israel from the consequences of its actions.

Are those event buttondowns or does NASA have a burgundy uniform?

American Israeli Political Action Committee - a very right wing group that backs politicos seeking election while ensuring the strings attached include unquestioning support for Israel.

Beat Jeb.

But it may be more pathetic.

Aha! This locket is the first clue that will lead us to great treasure! Now we must hunt down this ‘Fiancee’. What a weird name- must be Italian.

More like RAD taxidermy, amirite?

I don’t have anything in 7.62 Soviet and cannot say anything about that, but the 5.56 prices are pretty decent.

In a fun twist, the circumscribed “B” logo also fits maru (circle) bi (B).

A la circle K/marukei.

Lentil soups slap! But yeah, I really don’t think that I want it seasoned with artillery propellant and sand.

Deny (their self-loathing)

Defend (their well-being)

Depose (the oligarchy in defense of them?)
