I’ve ignored everything above this paragraph as just an unhinged rant. But this one is worth addressing. Simple. Op Allied Force was a NATO LED OPERATION. For a war that we did not start. 2 huge differences between that and this hot mess called epic fury. This is not NATO led. I won’t get into what the U.S. has done the past couple years to NATO nations that have weakened NATO. But those two are huge in terms of differences between the two ops.
Of course you ignored it. It completely blows your narrative out of the water and exposes your historical ignorance. A few posts ago, you claimed that only Republicans are warmongers. Now that you are confronted with massive interventions under Clinton and Obama, you hide behind a "NATO-led" label as if that changes the scale.
Care to guess what percentage of the aircraft and sorties were flown by our military in Yugoslavia? Over 70% of the 38,000 combat sorties and the overwhelming bulk of the precision ordnance came from the United States. The operational command was run entirely by US generals. Stripping the US out of Allied Force leaves nothing.
And you absolutely should go into what the US has done to NATO nations. As an American taxpayer, you should care that our "partners" have spent decades freeloading, failing to meet basic defense spending requirements, and relying on US taxpayers to foot the bill for their security while they created and imported freeloaders. It's pretty funny how freeloaders never like getting called out or forced to pay their "fair share... "
Intellectually dishonest conversation. I hear “death to America” in about the same frequency as TDS when it’s used to prove a point using a worn out trope. I’m sure there’s many Iranians happy about the regime faltering. But Iranians largely are Iranians first. Their hatred of American and Israeli bombs being dropped on their homeland is greater than their hatred of the regime.
Isn't it amazing how a Pakistani immigrant on one hand talks so proudly about becoming an American citizen and from the other corner of his mouth minimizes American casualties of Iranian terror over the decades and remains completely oblivious to the regime that denies their population the very right that you supposedly cherish - freedom to speak out their mind? Interesting..... BTW... take some time and go visit Tehrangeles... very cool place and talk to some people there. Maybe you may get enlightened.....
And at the expense of embarrassing myself, I’ll share that of the past 3 elections in 2016, 2020, and 2024, I voted for Trump on two of those three occasions. So please leave the partisan stuff out. I don’t have TDS or whatever partisan nonsense is out there these days.
And to be fair, if Obama or Biden had done epic fury, my response would be exactly the same.

How many times do people need to chant “Death to America” before you believe them?

I remember $6+ per gallon (NOT IN CA) up and down the 95 corridor in 2022, price went from $4 to 6 almost overnight when I was down in Daytona for bike week.
I paid $5.05 yesterday in NJ (not the cheapest state ever). It's up, but from what I see, we are 50-95c from $6 Diesel depending on what station you go to.

Where are you seeing that data?

It's not that hard to find. The national average for diesel has never been $6.

Current state average Diesel is showing $5.61 here.
National average unless I see their methodology (weighted by gallons sold etc) with a couple states that were anomalously cheap then can be misleading. Texas didn't have a record high in 2022 for reasons that are too political to get into here. But most states outside TX and CA had record highs in 2022 not 2026, which drove the average down then.

Average nationwide $6 no, but we also aren't at record highs here.. Max average Diesel price in my state (and most others) was 2022. It was $6.34 in NJ on 5/18/22

All they know is that CNN said fuel prices are high and muh orange man bad, fully ignoring 2-3 years of the highest fuel prices we've ever seen in decades during a certain regime. But hey it wasn't his fault. So they said " the President has no control over fuel prices " is what I heard droning on for almost 3 years. But now, it's different I guess.

Watch out CX, you are talking math to people that don't math too well.

I wonder how much more rational and civilized this forum would be if we all had to use our real names. This place is becoming more like 4chan every day...
