 File under: Islamic State 

#1 It took the Soviet Union eighty years to flop.

#3 ISIS leadership is saying the same thing about the Obama régime.

#4 Just like the Nazi 'Thousand Year Reich' collapsed under ....

Waitaminute! The Nazis had help to get their Reich to collapse...

I wonder where the world would be today without the international collapse-the-Reich assistance program?

#5 Islam has all those contradictions and it's still around after 1500 years.

When does eventually come?

#6 The problem is it functions like a pyramid scheme; as long as new people come into it faster than the ones already there get used up, it continues to grow. Kinda like cancer.

#9 "Islam will soon collapse under the weight of it's own contradictions" has a better ring to it and encompasses the whole dirty story.

#10 ISIS 'Will Eventually Collapse Under the Weight of Their Own Contradictions'

You mean like the politically riddled Iraqi Army?

#12 Dempsey and the other Carter are just two fools that will cause a lot of people to be killed.

#13  It took the Soviet Union eighty years to flop.

And killed millions of people in the process.

#14 And killed millions of people in the process.

Someone has no doubt somewhere noted that the Communists generously prevented a Malthusian catastrophe by sacrificing so much of their own excess population.

#15 Wishful thinking is a piss poor strategy.

#16 Hoping that this mess will sort itself out is very piss poor policy.

#17 "The US will eventually collapse under the weight of our own ass-clown government". Our military is prioritized upon battling climate change, and integrating transgenders - and other similarly "vital" concerns.

Shakespeare had it right:

To see him shine so brisk and smell so sweet
And talk so like a waiting-gentlewoman
Of guns and drums and wounds,--God save the mark!--
...

This villanous salt-petre should be digg'd
Out of the bowels of the harmless earth,
Which many a good tall fellow had destroy'd
So cowardly; and but for these vile guns,
He would himself have been a soldier.

Dempsey - what a fop: I'm sure that the ISIS leaders are quaking in their boots at this show of manly fortitude: https://youtu.be/NwWYrmjqkbM

#19 Methinks Dempsey believes in a 'false consciousness' - to quote a (in)famous 19th European utopia believer.

#20 Dempsey looks dead to me already. How old is that guy?

Something g(r)rom can add to his "Why I Luvs Russia" list.

#24 I like Russia because they kicked the communists out. Whereas some other People are bending over & spreading for the Tranzis (who make communists look like pragmatists)---without a shoot being fired.

#25 Quick, send the ISIS sympathizers over there before the collapse.

#26  In the current jargon Dempsey is a "Schlemiel" while Ashton Carter is a "Shliemazl".
The writing is on the wall !

#28 ...Okay, somebody needs to fess up: What is it that Dempsey's got on the leadership? Blackmail is the ONLY thing that explains why he's still there..

#30 Not amused by gooberdygunk?

Hell, the damn Rocky Mountains will eventually collapse under the weight of their own contradictions.

#31 I like Russia because they kicked the communists out

Because theirs was an inefficient and unprofitable form of totalitarianism?
