Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let there be snark.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Second rate reporter says what?

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

The lights are all blinking red.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

This really is a full service blog.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

No one could have predicted…

OK. I am now changing

OK. I am now changing my bet. Iran is not next. Southeast Asia is next (free registration required).

From the Opinion Journal:

Imagine an Afghanistan-by-the-South-China-Sea, a radical Muslim state carved out from renegade regions of Southeast Asia, led by fundamentalist clerics calling for the destruction of the West.

That’s the vision that animates Jemaah Islamia, a group aiming to establish “Daulah Islamiah,” a state that would include parts of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Fortunately, the group’s timetable for paradise on earth has suffered a setback, with the recent arrest of a 13-member unit in Malaysia and a squad of 15 in Singapore

Some other links on what appears to be a slow escalation:

US special forces begin Philippines role

U.S. special forces begin southern Philippines role

US Soldiers Deployed To Philippines

Special Forces Join Effort in Philippines- Trainers to Aid Anti-Guerrilla Patrols

Sgt. Stryker will probably have more info this in a couple of days (I would like to know what bases we have and what carrier groups are in the region, etc.), but he did note one aspect of the Philippine involvement the other day.
