re: Qatar denies Tucker’s claim that Israel planted bombs within nation

WTF is wrong with you?
I guess you'll have to read the reports on the confusion throughout the incident, considering the ship had unusual markings, as a spy vessel.
There's a lot of hearsay on both sides. We don't know what all was going on in the chaos. But it seems quite evident that sneaking up wasn't a good idea. What I've never heard, is anyone try to explain why Israel would want to attack a US vessel, without reason. They never attacked us before or since, and had no prior reason to attack us. Clearly, something set them off, and I don't think we've ever gotten the truth, because both sides just wanted it to go away.

i only saw the Candace interview with a survivor in a link someone posted. It was said Johnson said he didnt GAF about the sailors or their lives Israel came first.
A spy ship in those waters is not necessarily spying on israel...
Who gave the orders to attack the American ship?
This is why you jumped on my back earlier, because you, for some reason, think I'm talking about the same things others are. Could you please just read carefully what I'm saying. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that you're talking about one thing, and I'm talking about another, and it doesn't seem like you're reading my posts before responding.
I am NOT making a claim that Johnson did or didn't care, and that Israel's lives came first. I was responding to the people who blame that incident on Israel, by showing them that this was a spy mission, the Liberty showed up unannounced, and it lead to the attack. I also sent you that link from a 1967 article stating that Navy officials were blaming the CIA for botching the situation. The CIA denies they were there, which should surprise no one, but we do know at the very least that the NSA was in charge, because that is the government's position. It was, in fact, a spy mission, no matter which agency is to blame.
And yes, they were spying on Israel, and Egypt, the Soviets, and whatever other signals they could intercept. I don't think that spying on Israel was the main objective, but clearly they purposefully did not announce their presence or intentions to Israel for a reason. We can only speculate what that reason might have been.
Who gave the orders to attack? It would have had to be Israel, unless the pilots acted on their own, but that's not what reports suggest.

Wow. The most universally agreed upon fact of that entire incident was that the NSA was involved. This is not in dispute. It WAS a spy mission, which is also not disputed. The CIA disputes its involvement.

And none of that would justify the slaughter of American sailors anyway, so your point is grasping for life preservers that aren't there.
When you sneak up, spying on a country in the middle of war, what do you think will happen? I asked this earlier, and still no response. I feel terrible for what happened to the crew. They were put in an awful situation, being asked to do what they were doing. Why were they spying on an ally?
Well, I wouldn't expect you to know, because you don't even know basic details. You just saw a podcast, I'm guessing, and that's your entire "knowledge" of what happened. Typical.

I have never heard of this accusation from 1967.
It is truly shocking and bizarre. I am always open to both sides in a story but that is a profound accusatuon.
I watched a brief amount of Candace with a survivor. I admit I discount her in autocorrect of being batshit.
Johnson was a PIG. But why would he order his own killed and protect Israel doing his atrocious deeds?
I saw the planes had no insignia. How do we know it was Israel? Johnson was so heinous killing JFK and whore dogging imo
I'm not sure you read the article, or are paying attention to what I've said, but no one, myself included, is claiming that Johnson (though he was terrible) purposefully had our men killed. The claim is that the Navy was at odds with the CIA for mismanaging the mission, not announcing their presence to the Israelis (because it was a spy mission, but they shouldn't have been spying on an ally, and could have revealed their purpose for being there to Israel) and thus endangering the lives of the crew.
The fact that both countries said it was just a mistaken identity, was likely just both sides trying to downplay what happened, since they were supposed to have been allies.

Whether or not you believe the CIA was aboard, the NSA WAS 100% involved, and it is well known that this was a spy ship. No one denies this. It was a clandestine operation, they were not asked to show up, they did not announce their intentions to show up.

What's your problem? I'm arguing the opposite of what the other person said.
This is an article from 1967 after it happened: LINK
It seems from there that the Navy was at odds with the CIA (and NSA, who was absolutely without debate part of this operation, because it wasa spy ship) over what happened. But our government, and Israel's, took the official position that it was a mistaken identity, nothing more, and the CIA denies any involvement, and history just moved on without any more mention of the contention between the Navy and CIA.
That tends to be how these things work out. What makes me a crack pipe, again?

Naturally, the CIA denies this, as they deny everything? Are you surprised? I didn't "spin" anything. If "high ranking" members of the Navy were angry with the CIA, I take that as much better information than whatever Candace Owens, or whoever else, has to say.

Did you know that the USS Liberty entered Israeli space uninvited and unannounced, with CIA agents onboard who were in charge of whatever their operation was?
You know what happens when you sneak up on a country in the middle of a war? You people are the same one's who think the CIA killed JFK (maybe they did) and that they were behind all sorts of nefarious plots (they certainly have been), but when they spy on Israel, you're mad that Israel didn't take kindly to it?
No, I don't think the attack was an accident. I think that's how both countries agreed to label it after the fact, because neither side wanted further conflict with the other, and the United States likely realized they screwed up big time, and rather than let Israel take all the blame, and have to deal with Israel exposing them for inciting a disaster, they'd be better off coming to an agreement where both sides just call it an accident and move on.
But the narrative is always painted as the Liberty just minding its own business, and the Israelis just started shooting for no reason. Obviously, they were suspicious that something was up, and whether or not there was actually a mistaken identity at any point, I think the way the Liberty showed up out of nowhere is what caused the entire thing. It's tragic, but just one more example of one of our alphabet agencies causing chaos.
The United States have all this power and influence, but people think tiny Israel pulls all the strings. When will you people get your heads out of your rabbit holes, and come back to reality? Has Israel ever done wrong? Of course. They are a country made up of human beings. Has our country done wrong? Yes. But blaming every single thing on Israel? It's insanity.

Disagree. Our issues are downstream of a political class that right and left have sold out its voters for two generations in favor of globalist interests and policies that enrich their donors and transfer power away from the middle and upper middle class.
What are you disagreeing with? The "globalist" agenda is why we have so many problems outside of our borders, which in turn ends up directly impacting us domestically. That was the point of what I said. We leave our borders open, we drain our economy on welfare to illegal aliens, and lose jobs to undocumented workers. We sell technology to foreign countries, they take business away from us. We outsource American jobs to foreigners, we make one-sided trade deals, and on and on it goes.
You can't undo all of that damage overnight. You don't politely ask China, or whoever else, to give us our jobs back. They aren't going to just give in to our demands because we ask them to. We have to hit them where it hurts. What we've done in Venezuela and Iran accomplishes that, as well as what we gain in extra oil, not to mention crippling a nuclear threat. And we already knownt hat Trump has addressed, and continues to address the border situation. We'll see how the tariffs pan out, as right now we're mostly the one's taking the beating on that, but the hope is that it brings about resolution down the line.
quote:
This is a fair and accurate statement so long as the outcomes of the negotiations result in onshoring of wealth, jobs and power to the US.
If the policy is going to be reestablishing and expanding our empire in service of benefits to the middle class such as jobs, reduction in taxes and maintenance of the Petro dollar to finance our deficit spending paradigm that’s a discussion we can have.
This is the discussion we're having. That is the whole idea. You're taking the pessimistic view, because, like a lot of the younger generation, when you see war, you think of Bush and all his cronies. That hasn't been Trump's reputation, and until he proves otherwise, I'm going to take the optimistic view.
quote:
He ran on establishing a stable, reduced defense perimeter, securing the border, onshoring wealth and jobs via tariffs, ending DEI and getting us out of wars.
To date I see it like this:
-establish reduced defense perimeter: no
-Secure the border: check
-onshoring jobs and wealth: in process
-getting us out of wars: no
-ending DEI: check
So again, I support him where we align but refuse to blindly support pivots that aren’t being explained because the justifications of why things are occurring are laughably absurd.
If you think the justifications are "laughably absurd", then I question your discernment, and I'm not quite sure how one is supposed to reason with you.

You want to do a run down of how the conspiracy theorists have done in the last 18 months vs the media?
We disagree comprehensively on this so I doubt there’s any point arguing it.
Considering most conspiracy theories are delusional, the record isn't very good. Some things aren't conspiracy theories at all, but the msm calls them that because they can't face reality. Which brings back to what I said earlier: I don't rely on anyone to tell me how to think. You asked me to make contrast podcasters with the media, as if there is some either/or that I'm supposed to choose between. Both platforms have some decent people, and some very dishonest people. Thinking that you are being told the truth, simply because you are avoiding the msm, is not really a path to truth. Discernment is necessary to arrive at anything close to the truth.

Yeah because blindly going along with the expert class and bought political class has gone so swimmingly the last generation.
Id invite you to take a step back and look at our current economic, political and cultural situation in context of historical analogs and realize we have no more room for failed political adventures. Our empire is on the verge of collapse and we as a society are likely to live through a civil war or collapse absent major changes.
You’re welcome to go with the flow and trust the experts. Most Americans have realized half the experts are full of s*** and the other half are bought so the era of trust has given way to the era of prove it.
This is exactly the kind of arrogance I referenced earlier. When someone doesn't agree, people fall back on this accusation that the other person is "blindly going along" with whatever they're told. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that. What do you know about me? Allow me to give you some background.
When the covid crap was going on, and many of my fellow Trump supporters was assuring us that Trump would save the day, I was critical of him because I said right from the beginning that Fauci couldn't be trusted, that the science didn't back up the measures that were being taken, and that Trump had made a huge mistake. I then further criticized him for pushing out a badly untested vaccine, way too early. I've criticized him for a lack of a hard stance against abortion. I've criticized his pettiness, where others applaud how "cool" they think his wittiness is.
And many others things, that I'm not going to make an entire list of, but you get the idea. I'm not some tribal follower of Trump or "the experts", as you call them. My opinion doesn't come from them. I base my opinions off of the most reliable information available. I can't do more than that, and neither can you.
You ask me to take a step back and look at things in context, but you mistakenly assume that I haven't already done so. You confuse my opposition to your way of thinking with a lack of contextual understanding, because you think, like so many, that you're smarter. Just as I said. I would urge you, in turn, to consider that pessimism cannot replace good logic and reason. It's good to question things. I do all the time. But when questions turn into endless conspiracies, and blind contrarianism, we lose all meaningful debate, and no solutions will come of it.
Our "empire" is on the verge of collapse. And it started long before all of this that we're discussing. Look around. Our country has mudered between 65 and 70 million babies, we've got gay "churches", men competing in women's sports, people cursing each other out in nearly every argument, instead of having thoughtful debate. We're teaching generation after generation that instead of God creating us, we were some the result of random chance processes.
So telling me that things have to change is not quite breaking news to me.

Younger Trump voters get their news from podcasts that are far more likely to go counter to that messaging because they don’t rely on corporate ad spending for their revenue and the listeners grew up pathologically skeptical as hell of both parties for a myriad of reasons.
Right now, Trump has a lot of work to do that is more important than worrying about appeasing age demographics. Our domestic problems largely are symptoms of our foreign problems. It's not just about physical threats from our enemies, but the economic impact we deal with due to our rivals propping each other up. We are taking a huge bite out of China's oil supply right now, and hurting them economically gives us a lot of leverage in negotiations.
I don't care if you watch Fox News, or podcasts. I prefer to use common sense, rather than relying on anyone to tell me how to think. A lot of podcasts are made up of crackpots who just like to stir up distrust, and present it as truth. Being a contrarian, in and of itself, does not make you right. These people are full of conspiracies that they can't back up. Meanwhile, things like the covid nonsense are easy to spot as lies, without needing someone to tell you that, but people on their podcasts like to pretend that they were the only ones to figure it out.
I'm in my late 30's, so I'm neither old nor particularly young. But from what I have observed, a lot of what is considered the "young" (people in their early 30's and younger) generation is obsessed with conspiracy theories and wanting all the information pertaining to them released, while having very little knowledge on foreign affairs, and how they affect our economy. They like to fall back on past perceived pointless wars as their basis for automatically rejecting every new war. They hate things that they don't even understand, because someone on a podcast told them to, and that's "cool" because it's new, and they didn't hear it on Fox News.
Younger people need to check their arrogance and stop thinking they are smarter than everyone else.

Who is "we", that she is referring to? Who told her that she spoke for all of us? I didn't vote for no wars, and I didn't vote for war, either. I don't predict the future, as to what may come about that might make war necessary. Iran is an enemy who doesn't respond to warnings. So, what do we do with them? Let them nuke us? Or, do we strike? I think the correct decision was made.

It's the least surprising thing in the world, considering we deal with this every year, and if they figure things out late, we're in pretty good shape to win it all. Last night was just particularly bad. No lack of stuff out there.

Allow me to preface my remarks with the fact that I know this game won't have any effect on the outcome of the season, before everyone loses their minds.
With that out of the way, that was a really irritating performance. Guys refusing to adjust to off-speed (seemingly) all night, and pitchers making non competitive pitches all night (mostly). Let the other team earn a win. I hate giving away games, especially to teams that aren't any good.
I'll never, ever understand the mindset of some athletes, with this inability to get up for certain games. My mindset, in anything I've ever competed in, is I want to win, I hate to lose, and if I'm going against someone with inferior skill, then I want to dominate, and I feel embarrassed if I let them hang around. So I just don't understand saying "it doesn't matter". Who cares how much it matters? Just show up and do your job, have some competitiveness, and enjoy the fact that you get to play a game,.
Anyway, I guess we're all wired differently. My opinion of this team hasn't changed. I just get annoyed with listless performances.

One final thing I would also add (and I put this in a different thread on the MSB, but probably more fitting here): A goalie being on fire is part of the game of hockey and sometimes fluky… But Hellebuyck has been the best goalie in the world for 5+ years now and was literally the NHL MVP last year (EXTREMELY rare for a goalie to win it. Like a non-QB winning NFL MVP. It almost always just goes to the guy with the most points).
Going into the tournament, goaltending and defensive pairings was considered an American strength, compared to the Canadian advantage at forward. It’d be a bit different if Hellebuyck was just an above average NHL goalie (like Binnington is) and stood on his head.
No baseball fan would call it a miracle/fluke if in a game 7, Team A’s Cy Young winner outdueled Team B’s above average ace to beat Team B’s better lineup. Goaltending is part of the equation, and the U.S.’s was well-known to be superior. It’s not a fluke Hellebuyck outplayed Binnington (who was pretty good today, too).
Do I think Canada generally outplayed the U.S. today? Yes. (Which does NOT mean I think the U.S. didn’t deserve the gold.) But I always find it funny that goalies “steal” games, no matter how good they are. If Connor McDavid had 2G, 2A today and Canada won, no one would say he “stole” the game or it was a fluke. If Tom Wilson did? Sure, maybe fair. But Hellebuyck is elite. He’s the McDavid of goalies.
Indeed. Goalies are the key to any Medal, or Cup run. I just thought the US came out sloppy in this game, and played a bit timid. But they came through when they needed to, not just Hellebuyck, but guys breaking up passes to prevent sure fire scoring chances and, of course, putting the put in the back of the net one more time than Canada did. If anything, Canadians should be concerned that they couldn't beat us on a day when we weren't close to our best.
I think a lot of the perceived advantages that people think the Canadians have among their forwards is overblown. They have the better top line, but I'll take our overall depth at forward over theirs. Very comparable, scoring wise, but our guys also get back on defense and play with meaningful physicality (not just gooning it up like Tom Wilson likes to do). Again, not our best showing throughout much of this game, especially when you compare it to how we played them both games at the 4 Nations, but I'm proud of them for staying with it and not giving in.
Now that the gold medal barrier is broken against Canada, I'm excited to see Team USA play with even greater confidence in the years to come.

Big time choke by Canada. The Mackinnon whiff, McDavid doing hero hockey in OT leading to the turnover, Canada's +2 out of position on GWG. I don't give a shite about the "we outplayed them" narrative from Canada. Failed when they should've been playing conservatively.
Canada always thinks they outplayed everyone. It's their default cope mechanism in every defeat. The truth is, USA played at best it's "C" game in this one, and still won, because winning hockey games is about more than just throwing the puck at the net and saying you outplayed the other team. It's about executing when it matters, and yeah, you also have to have good goaltending. Our goalie was better, and it helped us survive a sloppy game. What do they think would have happened if we played our best?
The days of having to be perfect to beat Canada are over. And that should make people take notice.
