    Well… An airstrike against Switzerland would definitely persuade Europe to kick out American troops…

      Iran and the USA were in the middle.of negotiations and very near an agreement when Trump and Netanyahu started this war, killing the Ayatollah and many of the more moderate Iranian government officials who might be more amenable to an agreement. It’s not just a hypothetical but something the USA has done already.

      Remember Trump assassinated the general who beat ISIS during peace talks in a third country in his first term.

        Hell he killed a lot of the former negotiators during the first wave of bombings. That started while negotiating was still on. Course that was after the last time he started bombing during the peace talks the previous year.

        Antarctica is a pristine place, I’d not defile it with that man. Just drop him in the deep freeze of any Waffle House, wouldn’t even crack the top five weirdest things that happened that night. Let the penguins be!

          Yes, but imagine The Thing 3 returns to original glory and the opening scene is just the Norwegians firing rounds from the helicopter while MacReady’s son is already on the flamethrower, the stars and stripes flapping away in the background… The movie ends just 10 mins in to everyone sitting down for breakfast.

        And in a few hundred years, researchers will run into a weird clump of ice, defrost it and find the most horrifying Thing ever to roam this planet.

    I feel like we’re about to get a real life version of the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode, “In the pale moonlight”.
