mats: oughta just glass the place
    
    
    
    mircea_popescu: glassing dun work as advertised ; much like every other part of the us materiel.

Parks said that his firearm is legal, and that he had no ill intention by carrying it. "We're not a threat to anybody, the only threat is ignorance, and ignorance breeds fear," he said.' << trump supporters edging closer to openly gunning
    
    pete_dushenski: down opponents.
    
    mircea_popescu: you think ?
    
    BingoBoingo: Glock Lives Matter!!!!
    
    pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i foresee skirmishes at ballot boxes come november
    
    mircea_popescu: should be interesting to see.
    
    mircea_popescu: best lulzection in memory, that's fo sho.
    
    mats: iirc glass was seen following the Trinity test in 1945; 'Ivy Mike' in '52; and 'Joe-4' at Semipalatinsk in 1953
    
    mircea_popescu: mats you have any idea what area is "the place" ?
    
    BingoBoingo: The inverse square rule is a bitch
    
    mircea_popescu: aha.
    
    BingoBoingo: And Glass happens on a spectrum
    
    mats: its enormous, at least 15mi end to end
    
    mircea_popescu: well, you know. iran is like 1.5mn sqkm or such ? add afghanistan, turkmenistan, a coupla smaller ones, another million, add syria, iraq, egypt what hve you another million...
    
    mircea_popescu: of course mountaineous terrain counts like cvadruple or some shit...
    
    mats: i'm talking about glassing mosul
    
    mircea_popescu: and what'll that do ?
    
    mats: spare five figures of coalition losses
    
    mircea_popescu: this is like proposing burning down the school will save thousands of teenage hymens.
    
    BingoBoingo: There's always more Mosuls
    
    mircea_popescu: no, it won't. the hussies will just get their injection somewhere else.
    
    mats: oh you dog
    
    mircea_popescu: incidentally, the whole "trick some poor kids who want a chance of escaping their ghetto and figure "schooling" is the ticket into getting maimed in some desert" is pretty fucking scandalous.
    
    mircea_popescu: us army ? what army. there's no soldiers there, just a bunch of defrauded kids.
    
    mircea_popescu: a monography of the continuity of this particular statal fraud in the us, from lincoln's shipping of hopeful imigrants to die in his war to obama's shipping of hopeful 2nd rate citizens to die in his war should be written.
    
    mircea_popescu: if the usg-sponsored "social sciences" weren't a pile of crap, someone'd have already written it.
    
    mats: i'm curious how many uniformed americans will actually be in the fight
    
    mircea_popescu: as few as anyone can possibly help it.
    
    mircea_popescu: anyway, since we're on it : remember when the us had to bomb its intel depot / "embassy" in baghdad ? it came with a ~230 mn bill for gear, that was never reported. there's going to be another 50 ? 60 ? 100 mn worth of destroyed expensive gear in mosul. once you start adding all these up, the "misplaced" pentagon money suddenly catches a very different light.
    
    mircea_popescu: "nobody knows where it went because you don't want us to admit how we lost it in all the wars, encounters and conflicts you've not yet come along to admitting you lost."
    
    mircea_popescu: o btw, check out erdogan : "You are not my interlocutor. You are not at my level. You are not my equivalent. You are not of the same quality as me," Erdogan said (to al-Abadi) "Your screaming and shouting in Iraq is of no importance to us. You should know that we will go our own way,"
    
    mircea_popescu: (haider al-abadi being the us appointed pm of iraq for a coupla years now.)
    
    mats: when was this bombing? i have no idea what you're referring to
    
    mircea_popescu: summer 2014, mid july or somesuch
    
    mircea_popescu: six weeks after obama assured everyone it's not gonna happen, as per usual procedure with the retard.

    mats: this was after the local IA garrison was routed by isis and usg was concerned the embassy would be taken?
    
    mircea_popescu: anyway, it's pretty evident russia is pivoting from syria to a iraq spur via turkey. so yeah, sure, whatever, bazaar al-asado won't be there forever.
    
    mircea_popescu: mats yeah, internal support collapsed, whatever cleric instrumental in earlier successes directed his people to pressure the govt, they went into the holy "green zone" and everyone shat their pants.

    mats: so i can see the appeal of taking sf, portland, seattle, even vancouver
