Successful military adventures like the recent one in Venezuela beget hubris and set the stage for new fiascos as arrogant leaders forget that you can’t just count on getting lucky all the time.

Came here to ask that
Hamas wasn't eradicated from Gaza how the heck did Israel think Iran was going to jettison the mullahs??
Thanks!
Ya we old
Holy cow, Ukraine offered to help the US prepare to counter Iranian drones, but the Trump regime turned them down, too focused on pushing the narrative that Ukraine “has no cards” and should surrender to Russia.
But now the US is back, asking for help after attacking Iran and getting fire back.
Translate the latter part please?

In 2011, Obama announced a pivot to the Pacific "after a decade in which we fought two wars that cost us dearly, in blood and treasure.”
So much for that: We are now expending more blood and treasure in the pursuit of yet another war of regime-change in the Middle East. wapo.st/4ui9QzJ
It’s too soon to tell who will win the war between the United States and Iran. But, at this point, my money would be on Russia and China. wapo.st/4ui9QzJ
And we in the US are very bad at home growing our STEM PHDs.
Graduate STEM programs have had majority foreign born students for decades.
It was a gift to any and all adversaries as it undermined our credibility.
Fareed Zakharia had an excellent "First, My Take" on GPS this morning -
Israel, and the US, have different interests in this war. Israel (who is doing the refinery bombing) just wants Iran laid low. If it devolves into civil war, etc., still it means Iran isn't bothering them.
How well does it stand up to feline nails?
BTW, I don't think Biden was showing dementia ... but he was definitely losing vitality fast, and needed to have not run again. And we needed that, too.
So ... parents of kids too young to be vaccinated or immune-impaired want to take freedoms away for expecting others to be vaccinated to provide herd immunity .... BUT
it's awful enough parents don't let their kids get sick so his kids get sick.
Got it.
He may or may not be becoming demented, but his narcissistic megalomania is of such concern I wonder why the fixation on any dementia ...
... oh I know - Biden. Some folks are sooo anxious to say "*your* guy's the demented one!"
So you're expected to help even the Biden-dementia score.
Copout response. You *know* you could raise more awareness about time being linear.
LOL yeah. For "rhetorical" irresponsibility" even.
