we are weak hillbilly cowards fully sodomized by taliban
the houthi are tenacious little bastards. they earned my respect a long time ago.
the laboon. what a goofy name for a ship.
tom sawyer and sean sodamising each other like us military.
oh well. it didn’t have to be this way. the us and its nato poodles think they have a handle on the situation. they will keep thinking that way until they realise that they don’t. the poodles of nato and their can handler have stirred up quite a bit of ill feeling amongst the natives. the old tactic of divide and rule is no longer available, due to too much divide and too much rule.
no $ for rowboat—must beg for taco in omaha ghetto
it was a near miss…….iran is still warning the us/ uk…….near misses can become direct hits!
a near miss??? more like a near hit.
the term near miss is non-sensicle
the fun loving houthi brothers, hezbollah and hamas, the invincible trio evokes terror throughout the dying and bankrupt anglozionazi monstrosity known as the “west”. with iran watching their backs it is apparent to most that the abomination in apartheid, occupied palestine, like rump ukraine, is on its last legs. to paraphrase the viper, anaconda rice “we are witnessing the abortion pains of a new middle east”. karma is a most wonderful thing indeed.
