Lawmakers in both the House and the Senate have started inquiries into the "double tap" strikes, which critics have said could constitute a war crime.

    I don’t see this “Fog of war” on total wine’s website. Am I searching wrong?

      Total Wine doesn’t have everything.

      I did actually find several breweries who make hazy IPAs called “Fog of War”: Armor, Artillery, Bad Weather, and Easy Company. Easy Company is in Massachusetts and Artillery is in Pennsylvania, so I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one is available in stores near him.

    I refuse to believe that the US military doesn’t effectively have black sheep wall enabled constantly.

    If the military aren’t going to think about the orders they’re given, maybe it’ll give them pause when the person giving them is clearly a coward who will blame those he ordered

      It takes a certain type of violent stupid to work in the military. Don’t hold out hope that any of those bitches have the power of reason.

    I think it’s pretty safe to say Hegseth is likely thrashed off his ass 24/7 if this is the explanation he’s trying to go with after everything else he’s said. This administration is run by the dumbest Fascists ever.

    Is that when you’re not quite drunk enough to black out but you’re just browning out a little between lines?

    I don’t think it counts as “the fog of war” if there is no war.

    Is he trying to claim he’s Alethi?

      Don’t think he’s got the mental capacity or inclination to read that many words to even know who the Alethi are.

    A: Not at War

    B: he’s previously said he was watching live

    C: we only know about it because other people were watching that same stream so it must have been clearly visible

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
