Crazy World Cup draw. Why bother with qualifying? Just get all the teams in the world together. 182 nations in the world and 48 are in the world cup. They have ruined the tournament. There are teams there that I (ashamed) could not point to on a map. Where is Cabe Verde?!

I’ve seen countries fall to a coup d’etat for this kind of behaviour in the past (although most of them we later learned were funded covertly by the CIA). The line: “Stupid rules of engagement” now becomes “weapons free” which is very alarming! Democrats are now the enemy. Are people worried yet?
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."
