Is this why we never have meetings outside, in the fresh air? Seriously, while I have little/no sympathy for the Taliban, this video illustrates the horrific nature of war.

But how does one determine who was juiced? There was no testing. Bonds, Clemons never failed a test.

If you believe he was in the minority of the players during those years, I have some lovely beach front property in Wonson to sell you.

“Iran’s failed launch was neither a violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231, nor was it an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) being tested under the guise of a satellite launch,” says ⁦⁩.

This is bad, very bad. Tantamount to Trump giving KJU everything he wants over a few dollars/won, and receive no concessions on strategic weapons reduction by the DPRK. What could possibly go wrong? Where are the adults??

Anyone interested in a short but richly informative tutorial on major issues of MD should read the transcript; it's all in there. Plus, it was a great example/model of polite but vigorous debate of the issues. We need to see this more often.

I don't recall you expressing such enthusiasm and support when engaged Iran, and actually achieved a deal that made America and the world safer. Did I miss it?

While there are many worthy candidates, this is perhaps the most vile, racist one to date. If he had any other job, he would be fired, on the spot, for spouting such garbage.

My goal of a perfectly stocked wine cellar is also 'simple', but it is not going to happen, even if I start a GoFundMe campaign.

On my drive home I listened to and the amazing debate on the MDR between and . Great performance by both, More importantly, they delivered their opposing views (passionately, but no yelling) with crisp, concise and informed points. Must watch TV

China's MFA on MDR: It is “driven by a Cold War, zero-sum game mentality, exaggerating the geopolitical confrontations and great power competition"; "harms regional stability and security"; disrupts "global strategic balance." China strongly opposes it"

That is how I read the difference. Obama prioritised regional and European missile defence to address the existing threats. The DPRKs successful satellite launch in Dec 2012 did drive the Pentagon to request additional GBIs - the expenditure probably does not show up until later.
