The FBI missing persons list is just part of the conspiracy to track him down so they can interrogate him. It was Kyoon! He was Kyoon all along!

Holy moly, Saudi Arabia is dropping the hammer. I'm sad about Al Jazeera. No one should be able to lean on the press like that—especially press that does a fantastic job.  Then again, not perfect world, etc.

illrepute posted:I don't really follow Turkish politics, what's the over/under of Erdogan and his party weathering the fallout of this corruption scandal now that he's (apparently) acting like a crazy man, banning twitter, etc? Vegas gave the line at 115, I'm not sure how much Erdogan can score so I'd probably take the under. (You want "odds" there)

Muffiner posted:What's worse is people seeing it as "the solution". As long as the Them are contained and limited to killing each other, it's business as usual! What gets me is the utter nihilism of it all. Everyone's killing everyone, both sides are funded by major players in the area, there's no solution in sight, hope is at an all-time low, and now the rest of the world just wants to segregate it away so they don't have to deal with the constant reminder they're powerless to do anything. I honestly don't think this'll be over until Syria's been reduced to a smoldering crater and the very few people left are just utterly goddamn tired of fighting over the ashes.

Ardennes posted:So the debate is which horrible death is preferable and thus "more humane"? Dying from smoke inhalation, burns from the WP itself or secondary fires is going to be extremely painful as well. Both are cruel weapons and if you are trying to split hairs over it I have to really question your motives. Yeah. Both are horrible, neither should be used. But, this whole discussion distracts from the point that chlorine gas is being used on people in Syria, which is the important bit.

This may be a stupid question and/or hyperbole, but are we approaching a World War I situation with the Middle East right now? It seems like Syria's conflict is spilling over into other countries and could conceivably cause a domino effect.

Deteriorata posted:ISIS can take out Assad, then everybody can gang up on ISIS without reservations. My fear is that this ends up like the Taliban, where everyone goes, "Not my problem.  " until they, I don't know, harbor an international criminal when a major western power wants revenge or something.I want to believe everyone will realize ISIS is a threat to all of them and smear them on the ground when/if Assad falls, but I somehow have my doubts.

OctaviusBeaver posted:The funniest part of this is that they fought the US so hard when we tried to install a democracy but when ISIS rolls up with their murderbrigade to set up a theocracy they roll over and die without a fight. Except the Kurds I guess. Maybe this is just what Iraqis really want.  You... realize the people who "fought us so hard" are probably incredibly similar to (if not the exact same) people who are in charge of the murderbrigade? It's not like what was left of the government in Iraq was going, "Man, you guys. I'd love to work with you, but I'm too busy planning these decapitations in Fallujah. Can you can call me back?"

McDowell posted:The mask must come off for a new period of brutal honesty. This is the only way to overcome ISIL, Putin, and all the other real dangers confronting America. KSA, Iran, and Israel must be reminded who the real superpowers are. "Hey, guys, it turns out we were the monsters this entire time. Rather than be properly chastised and then move forward with the goal of rehabilitation, let's bomb the entire world until they submit to our glorious might." e: I seem to remember you making actual reasonable posts, McDowell, so I'm going to assume you're trolling here. Especially since the alternative is that you've secretly been a bloodthirsty psychopath this entire time

Jawsome. Don't stop there. Get a Pullitzer. Legitimize all of Something Awful.

Darth Walrus posted:The problem is that that calling out leads to giant, horrible derails while the good, interesting stuff gets buried and/or shunted off to one side. See also, most of the I/P thread. I complained about the same thing over in QCS. The basic response was "Stimulates discussion so more good than harm, we'll probate him whenever it gets to be too much." I don't agree but I can respect that opinion. The funny thing is, when they're not gimmick posting, MIGF and Amergin seem pretty cool. Every now and then they let the mask drop and you can see backstage, and they're actually pretty creative and clever about riling people up. I think it was MIGF who suggested I ask the loudmouth conservatives at my poker game their opinions about gay marriage and then call in to C-SPAN with them
