Ritual combat? January 8, 2020 2:17 pm hank

Yeah, like two male reef fish or birds of paradise, pretending to fight to impress the female.

What the hell just happened here? Bluster, threats, insults, rage, 20 missiles launched and “nobody gets hurt and only minimal damage inflicted”? We solemnly threaten “52 strikes” in retaliation and then back down and do nothing. Nada. Both sides save face in front of their domestic audience but its a sham, a fraud, and both sides are in on it! Did they actually call us ahead of time and tell us they were coming? After all, that’s what Trump did when he hit that Syrian air field.

It reminds me of Mexican wrestling.

Or better yet, its more like an orgy in a Bible movie. A whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on; dirty dancing, wanton gestures, sloppy grape eating and wine drinking, assholes and elbows, flashing leg and grab-assing–but if you look carefully no one’s actually getting laid.

I wouldn’t be surprised if both sides got together ahead of time and planned it all for our benefit.
