Tonga got hit so much harder than many thought (yeah...I was right)

This is a perfect example of people refusing to believe what they see with their own eyes. To me it was obvious that Tonga got obliterated by that volcanic eruption. What was the response on the blog? Silly Solly? Amazing. Another idiot that could not wrap his mind around the reality of the situation. Others talked about the blast being relatively small after I said it looked like it got hit with several nukes. Now we have this report.

To those clowns understand this.

We are not the same.

We will look at things, try to piece together available information and arrive at conclusions.  Sometimes we're right, sometimes wrong but we use the info available and don't default to "what the news media says"...especially when we've seen the mainstream news fail over and over and over again.

US - Russian negotiations don't appear to be going well...our guys body language is all wrong...

I am far from an expert in body language.  But I am a "people watcher" and can pick up on basic ques.

Our guys body language is all wrong.  I wish I could get the video of the handshake, but it goes a little like this.

The Russian is smiling, happy, doesn't appear flustered at all. He's as cool and cold and calculating as all the cold war military technothrillers made them out to be.

Our guy.  FUCK!  Our guy seems like a slick little lawyer that is dazed and confused on a big stage.  He appears to be withdrawn and sullen.

WATCH THE VIDEO (trust me it explains it better than I can) but he seems almost like a spoiled little boy.

The imagery seems all wrong to me.

I think I'm right and why I say that?  Even the news media says it wasn't a good day for our SecState.

Never thought I'd say it, but I think Hillary would have done a better job than this guy did.

NATO eFP Battlegroup Lithuania

Are the various battle groups worth the effort? I'm beginning to wonder. They're great as serving for training tools but in an actual fight are they worth it? I doubt it. But if the real purpose isn't to fight, but rather to die gloriously (if that's even possible) while acting as speed bumps and political rallying cries then maybe they have reason for being.
