The military & strategic value of Turkey is much bigger than Greece & Cyprus. USA needs a foothold in the Middle East and operating US military bases out of Israel would be prelude to WWIII. Turkey as the secular Muslim country is perfect for the job especially after you lost the Iran alliance following the 1979 Islamic revolution.

 

Jordan might try to play the neutral party but I seriously doubt  "being friends with Lebanon" is possible as long as Hezbollah HQ is located there :lol:

USA definetly operating out of israel.  They might not have their own bases but have definite presence especially in the air force bases.  They even run dogfighting drills with the Israeli air force.  When I served in the air force I met ton of american soldiers.

Next Republican, same thing. How the fuck are these people just so indescribably and utterly stupid to actually believe what they are saying? 

 

They are literally doing only two things:

 

- Spreading lies

- Attacking the process, because in all these weeks they haven't come up with even one argument that's not been debunked again and again

Of course the "military advisors" are always present :lol: , USA officially operates only one radar station but they invested more money in Israel than anywhere else in the world over the last 50 years.

US House or Representatives finds Trump guilty of 1st article of impeachment (Abuse of Power)!!! Viva Democracy!

Article 2 - Obstructing Congress has now also been passed!!! Democratic/Independent members of House voted to impeach, all Republicans (plus 3 Democrats) voted to acquit. What a great day for the United States of America. The United States Senate will not vote to impeach, which will create a small Constitutional Crisis next year, but Trump will remain president most likely. Also of note Tulsi Gabbard essentially abstaining from both votes. The three democrats who voted against were from New Jersey, Minnesota, and Maine (state that will be key in next years election, and states where political affiliations can swing from year to year).

    • It's Australian Nationals that Ceccon will be competing at where he'll be allowed in the A Final. Trials aren't until June.   I'm quite excited to see what times he puts up and hope he doesn't scratch any events from his huge program (100/200 FR, 50/100/200 BK, 50/100 FL).

    • Good start for Canada. Cuba seems to be our biggest threat.   Unlike the men, the United States women don't seem to be progressing. Still a few years until the Olympics.
    • Well now's time for a little summary of my experience attending Stop 1.   Overall it was a nice experience, my first time visiting that venue in particular. It brought me some memories from my time at 2011 PanAm Games, seeing athletes from many countries. Now the venue is kind of dated, and it really needs some serious maintenance. For me it was unacceptable that the restrooms for the general public were in poor conditions, and also some sections need a fresh layer of paint, not to mention the heavy layer of dust in the ceiling. Thank God no debris fall in to the pool or on the spectators, but you may see a couple of pigeons continually flying around the swimming complex, even disrupting Mark Hrytsenko's last dive in 10m platform, before being sent away by Ruslan Ternovoi.   there was a pretty large number of Chinese fans on Saturday that came to support their team with flags & banners; however, their overall conduct was very poor, most of them crossing into the "top section" denying people who paid those tickets their rightful seats, ignoring and even shoving the few security elements at the venue and disrupting the general silence by replaying videos with loud sound or standing to take pictures while the divers were competing. Not that the Mexican fans were better; at times they were very disrespectful, particularly with divers preceding local competitors, since the cheered very loudly, ignoring the results (whether bad or good) of the former.   Among my personal highlights was the fact I had the opportunity to meet the Cuevas twins, who won a silver in 3m synchro and with only 14 are considered our next big stars in this sport, and also two time Olympic medalist in 10m synchro Alejandra Orozco, who was very active during the event, often oversawing and helping in any way needed, not to mention very kind and attentive to anyone asking for a photo. Also in attendance was Olympic figure skater Donovan Carrillo, whom I also asked for a photo.   I had an opportunity to see Maddison Keeney at the small cafeteria after winning a bronze in 3m synchro; she was very polite and gracious, accepting to take photos even when she needed to take a break and finish her sandwich; that same day I ran into Moritz Wesemann on my way back to my seat after getting a beer, and on the last day I almost bumped into Jack Laugher (he was going "incognito" mode while trying to decide what to grab from the food carts outside the main building).   So in general, I had a pleasant experience and would love to attend another event in the future. To top it off, there was a brief take of me during Sunday's men's 3m finals on WA stories, which of course I've already downloaded for keeps. I hope to find some time to upload some of the pictures I took; not the ones with me & above mentioned athletes since I'm not to photogenic, but of the few photos of the competition and the practice time that I find are worthy.

    • After the first period of today's game against Spain, I had a small hope the team could fight for a medal; but it seems they will instead contest the relegation.
