Amateur OSINTer posting potential targets in Yemen , US military bombs them

Iran is a very interesting thing and I'm not sure most understand it.
It was the first "democratic" government in the "Arab" world until well the British wanted cheaper oil and asked the Americans to kindly overthrow the government and put in a "friendly dictator".

But even still, go back and look at pictures, stories, films and things of Iran back in the 1900-1960 range, and you'd think it could have been in parts of Europe.

There are lots of Iranians (pretty much most or all of the younger folks living in the cities and many of the older folks in the cites) who hate their government.
But the government controls well the Uniform Hangers and the government is supported by a bunch of backwards rural types and other Mullah types who love the power.

Back during the O years there was a big huge uprising (where for a paltry sum of maybe 1 billion, we could have had a full regime change) but nothing was done to help them.

The NeoCons are begging for some drawn out war with Iran that would be hugely expensive in all terms.
What we need is a proper CIA sponsored Regime change and "domestic revolution" with the help of a billion or two in funds and weapons.

But that would cut the big boys out from 10+ years of war at 50 billion a year.


While you are doing that, go back and look at pictures of what the cities in Afghanistan used to look like in 1900-1950 times...

Violent Extremist Islam took over so many places, because it was paid for by oil money from the Saudis and then also of course our own communist/leftwing/democrat establishment in this country.

And let's not forget that it was of course our oldest enemy England that fanned some of the initial flames of Muslim extremism to help them in their WWI fight against the Turks and also to later on help them keep control of areas.

What Iran needs is not a war with the USA but rather a "colour revolution" that our dear CIA is so good and doing when they want to.

Nobody itching for a war with Iran has any actual game plan to make it turn out any different than Iraq or Afghanistan or Syria, the only plan seems to be to try to make them poorer more backwards folks who hate us and want to destroy us with even more passion, just don't have much in the way of tools to do it.

Seems "Regime Change" might be worth a try first.
I agree with all of that, and it's all irrelevant to what I'm talking about. The State religion of Iran has been indoctrinating those same people for more than fifty years now, and it's a totalitarian society. Their religious beliefs and their theocratic leadership have guided all their decisions since Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini.

You want to read something really interesting and illuminating, read about where he was educated and the philosophy he studied. Not the wikipedia bullshit page that leaves out all the interesting stuff. He was exiled to France, and what he studied there, and how he applied it brings a great many things into focus. He didn't go hard Shia till later and before he entered politics.

He really was an evil, evil motherfucker, not unlike our own far left who believe in the same philosophy he so diligently studied. They're poets too.

Forgive me, but I want to understand (and learn). I thought bumping the shoulders back .002" means from the chamber dimension? That is, your sizing die is fixed, and it should be bumping all brass back to the same measurement, regardless of whether or how much the brass has fire formed? This gives your brass some .002" clearance to chamber but be as tight as possible to be snug up against the chamber. That is, as large as possible but no chambering difficulties to slow you down when chambering a new round on the clock, even if the chamber is a little dirty or it is dusty out and you are on the clock.

Maybe I do not understand this reloading process, or maybe I do not understand what you are saying.

I do not understand why bumping back .002 should ever result in being .008 shorter (I assume you are talking about the shoulder here, still).

Could you please explain this to me simply? Do not be afraid to talk down to me. I will not get offended. I really want to understand what you are writing. Thank you.

I read that as what he's saying is that he's trying/planning to bump .002, but it isn't clear what he should use as the reference dimension that equals his chamber (because his brass hasn't grown consistently on first firing, which is typical - it usually takes 2-3 firings before it all uniformly matches the chamber). Once his brass is consistent, he can bump .002 from the nominal case length, and be good to go each time.

The bit about being .008 longer - he's comparing his longest fired brass to a brand new case (which is typically .001-.002 shorter than the minimum chamber dimension in the cartridge spec). His chamber has to be at least as long as his longest fired case - so using that as the reference, and making sure all the brass is at least .002 shorter than the longest fired case is a good way to start. But he's not talking about bumping them .008 shorter (that'd severely shorten the lifespan of those cases if done regularly).

That said... While getting dies set, or simply through negligence, it's possible sometimes to over-bump a case by that much... ask me how I know... LOL. So, accidents do happen.

In this specific example, where you are calling for " More (real) genocide please. " <-- Your quote from Post #10... even as you now claim it to be "humor" or "irony" is specifically anti-American and goes against our Values and Culture.

I don't tolerate it.

...because I have no reason to do so- but also primarily because it is inhuman, immoral, and Evil.
That's cuz yer a trick bitch with no sense of humor.

Go virtue signal somewhere else. Only bad people feel the need to show how virtuous they are in a chat room.

A long time ago if you were running down a list of NY'er stereotype jokes, when you got to Jewish they would say, "Hey, that's antisemitic, and you are BAD!"

Nowadays, you simply acknowledge the crimes of the "State of Isr*el" they say, "Hey, that's antisemitic..."

...and you're just like, "I guess all regular, moral people on planet Earth are antisemitic then?"

...and then they would probably say, "Yes, and as reparations for this unfortunate situation, we accept your house, your 401K, and we'll take your female minor-children too." :ROFLMAO:

These are people who 100% refuse to pay their own way in life or do right.

Nobody should tolerate it.
It is. There's no question about it. God said he was going to scatter them across the world, but somehow they would retain their culture and their faith, and then bring them back together in their traditional promised land (not the captivity where they were not scattered). Is there another instance of this in history that you are aware of? Most scattered people eventually meld with and become the people of the land in which they live. There are peculiar things about the Jewish culture that preclude this, almost like they were engineered to stay their own people even when living outside their culture. Whether you choose to see that as a good thing, a bad thing, or a predestined thing says a lot about who you are and what you believe.

You are basically saying that while everyone else in the world can have a homeland where they can rule themselves and have some modicum of safety the Jews cannot. No other people seem to be the recipient of this peculiar idea. It's not like your hatred of Jews and Israel in particular is anything new or revelatory. This is written as surely as the name Jesus would become a swear word and a rock of offense, which must have sounded very strange and difficult to understand at the time it was said... I wonder why that is? Don't you? Leaving all that aside, people have won land in war and settled it throughout history, but this is the one instance that the faithless cannot accept. Don't you think that's odd, or do you just not question it?

I know that when I was an "atheist" if you hit your thumb and said, "Jesus" I would not have thought twice, but if you used it in the context of the King of Kings I would wince. That a word could make me wince bothered me greatly, so I started looking into it. Did not find what I was looking for. Found something else.

After killing unarmed man, Texas deputy told colleague: 'I just smoked a dude'

Having an out of state paper tag expired 7.5 months earlier is all the probable cause he needs to search or detain him. Then he ran the stop sign, then ge was argumentative, then he wrestled with him when he tried to cuff him, and on and on. This is suicide by stupidity.

All punishable by death.

Look for Waltz to be making the rounds on the MSM shows as the latest Trump-hating “Republican”. Deep-stater who was already on his way out when he “accidentally” leaked. Yeah, right…accidentally.

English teacher in Maine calls on the S.S. to assassinate Pres. Trump and his followers.

I recall when OBiden was in the White House and the FBI arrested a man for making a similar threat toward the pedo.

I remember back when Bush Jr. was President and some 10 year old girl called for an assassination on MySpace (yeah, that long ago) and FBI and/or SS was at her door within the hour.

Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

For those of you getting barrels from EGP and just leaving them in the packaging, I'd suggest that you take it out of the bag and give it a once over. I suspect that the webbing and plastic wrapper are not from the manufacturer and were just applied for shipping purposes. Of the five that me and my buddy got, a few of them had some surface rust on them. Probably something you'll want to nip in the bud. We got 5 11.5" barrels.

I used two of them to assemble uppers. Of the two, one shoots really well. As well as my 12.5 Criterion hybrid. The other shoots better than most, but not as well as the first one. From what I’ve seen, they were a good buy.

You have no sense of humor, irony, or humility, and believe you are on the side of truth, justice, and the American way in everything you post.
