The real reason the Venezuela War will happen is because Maduro looks like Saddam. (The sensors on the Republicans haven't been updated in 25 years)

One of the borders proposed at the peace negotiations in Paris during the Revolutionary War was an extension of the 45th parallel border to the Mississippi. Does this look better or worse than the historical border?

When I first saw that Family Guy clip about the guy in the Hummer, I was a little kid and didn't know why he shouted "YEAH RUMSFELD!" after merging without looking.

The more I read about the War on Terror, the more I get why only a jerk would like Rumsfeld.

Anybody remember that show "True Blood"? My only memories of it are being traumatized as a kid by one scene where the vampires kill a bunch of people at a party. Have never watched any of it since. Is the show actually good?

Given what happened in Libya, Yemen, and Syria, I doubt Iraq's future would look too optimistic. There might have been a smaller jihadist presence without the 2003 invasion, but that's about the only upside I could think of.
A post-Arab Spring Iraq, with no 21st century US intervention, is an interesting hypothetical. Does it still end up as an Iranian puppet in the end? Who could know, since we did a DIY insurgency starter kit.

The embargo benefits Cuba more than it does the United States at this point. It doesn't make the island any substantially poorer than it already is, but it's an effective scapegoat for Havana and the far-left. We oughta do what the UN has been saying for over 30 years.
hot take: removing the embargo immediately is more likely to lead to democratic regime change in Cuba than keeping it in place

Entire nations get this treatment too.
Some people treat historical figures like action figures. You can play whatever game you want with them regardless of whether or not it fits their character.

You'd think this (or worse) would have already happened to Omar if the conspiracy theories about world-controlling Jews were true, given Netanyahu himself knows about her and the criticisms she's made of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians years before October 7th made it mainstream.
