#2 Dialogue, right. With Suleimani, the agent of chaos, Dr. Death, slaughterer of thousands around the globe.

STFU, Bergoglio.

#3 We've been at war since the seizure of our Embassy in 1979 at one level of intensity or another. The shadow war is just in another period of flare up, but will never go away till one party is standing. They're the ones continuously provoking. One day the leash will break.

#4 I believe we have arrived at the Mattis approach:

‘I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.’

~ General James Mattis

#6 Dialogue depends on how you like to talk.
