Boy the one on the right looks suspicious..... Damn.
Thus the saying, "Between a rock and a hard place."
I'd say the fellow with the big ears and stupid grin on his face is a bigger threat to the US... At least with ISIS you know what your getting...
Do people here think ISIS is
a) a threat to the US
&
b) not funded indirectly by the US (read: her middle eastern bosses)
I hope not
It used to be Bush's fault but now it's Putin's fault.
Size (a-hummmm, strategy) matters not, no?
B.
Actually, no it's A.
Here's why.
If Obama had a strategy ... wait, what am I saying?
Let me restart.
The strategy Obama will be provided with will be functionally retarded because that's what PHds do now and illustrates just how poor our educated elites are. The plan will be totally ineffectual against "A" which means "A" is worse than "B".
Now, I don't actually like the question because it's like asking which of the following choices you must choose from:
A) Being shot, or
B) Being stabbed.
Why the fuck do we need a "strategy" against ISIS? Last time I looked, they are on the other side of the world. An ocean or two away. What exactly is the threat to me and mine?
On the other hand, the US police state is here and now. And it poses a demonstrable and existential threat to me and mine.
What's the strategy for that?
The threat is to the continued supply of our oil that is trapped under their sand. The threat is to F350s and Happy Motoring for all (Americans).
"You can have your F-350's as long as we can have our F-35's. The good news is that you just WAYYYYYYYY overpaid....
The guy on the left is a religious fanatic fighting for a cause he believes in.
The cocksucker on the right is a piece of shit with no ideals and up for sale to the highest bidder.
Fuck you Obozo you miserable scumbag puppet!
is that gene rosen on the left?
The biggest threat to the entire world is Islam. Yet nobody wants to admit the problem. I don't get it.
At least GW Bush had a "strategery", even if it wasn't a very good one.
I wanted to remake Stratego and name it Strategery, but make all the rules incomprehensible.
Zionism is a bigger threat than Islam...
I think you mean all religion, not just Islam.
"The threat is to the continued supply of our oil that is trapped under their sand. The threat is to F350s and Happy Motoring for all (Americans)."
I like to read Kuntsler cause he writes good.....but one day an F350 with an Earnhart sticker in the window is gonna mow em down.
"our oil that is trapped under their sand"
had to give you a greenie on that. My better half uses that expression all the time and makes me laugh every time I hear it. Yes, I have a sick sense of humor!
main reason of problem :
this is not YOUR oil.
america never get it. you steal by war the land ressources. you do not possess anything outside of north america, you destabilize, place puppet to get access to thing that do not belong to you.
story of your life.
period.
You never heard a joke before?
Obombya : who shit in my pants...............
.....crickets.......
yes, sad as it is that joke is on us.......
What is to send them over there?
And "I'll take Nazi Germany for 2 trillion, Alex."
http://www.cato.org/blog/youre-eight-times-more-likely-be-killed-police-...
Huh, even if I have no tendency of rushing police officers, dressing like a gang member or excon, stealing c rap, and so on? Is Major Hasan style "workplace violence" counted as terrorism? What are a Pakistani man's chances of being raped by a British adolescent girl, BTW, by their way of reasoning?
No need to do any of that gansta stuff and no need to go out ....... Jackboot Inc delivers.....
May 05 2011 Tuscon AZ - Jose Guerena, ex marine Shot 23 times at home during botched drug raid, wrong address
February 2012 Auburn Washinton - Dustin Theoharis shot 15 times while in bed, mistaken identity
March 06 2012 White Plains NY - Kenneth Chamberlain 68, shot twice in the chest and killed in response to medic alert alarm
July 27 2013 Pensecola Florida - Roy Middelton 60 yo, Shot 15 times in his own driveway, PoPo mistaken identity
Tomorrow, Your House................ just because it's gotten that nuts
I'd say the strategy is to scare you with boogeymen until you scream for more guards and more bars.
B begats A...
Exacty, EJ! Let THAT sink in.
Must be B, since the A guy was heard saying "Elohim gadol!"
;-)
The biggest threat to a nation is its Domestic Population.
That’s why nations go to wars.
Depends on what the definition of ISIS.
Yow. Pulled a muscle on that one!
I hate trick questions
They are the same difference
I would say it's six of one and half dozen of the other...
I bet toady has a stinky cigar!
Good job Toady
chortle
Very clever wit toady, very clever!
There are not enough clapping .gifs for you, sir.
Bravo.
I coined that one a few months ago. Apparently it's making the rounds.
Here's America's version of ISIS: http://sharing.wxyz.com/sharekmgh/photo/2014/08/20/Officer_aims_rifle_US...
I thought isis was the strategy.
Ehh, I think you guys attribute far too much competence to the US.
IMO some Saudi Arabian prince made it his pet project to build up ISIS, mostly because he's a moron ... and the US stood on the sidelines cheering, mostly because they are morons as well. But the prince was fired when the King saw what was going on and told the US to put the genie back in the bottle and here we are. SNAFU, no conspiracy necessary.
ISIS was a monster created by a confluence of crap. American support of people posing as "moderates" in Syria. The influence of Wahhabist elements from Saudi Arabia.
What's interesting is that it puts a kabosh to American plants for Syria in a pretty serious way. What it also has done is create a takfiri menace. The Wahhabis have created an evil doppleganger that has full intention of usurping it's former master.
The only shame is that someone else has to pay for the mistakes of unaccountable douchebags from Washington and Riyadh. Those people never suffer any consequences for their horrific decisions.
"Ehh, I think you guys attribute far too much competence to the US."
It's not about the competence of the US. These are global powers at play. If they didn't want isis doing what they are doing, it would be put down. That's not that hard in a technotronic age. It is serving a purpose for tptb, quite obviously. And I believe that reason may even extend beyond the bottom lines of the weapons manufacturers and the banks.
Petrodollar survival depends on middle east chaos? Isn't that a quote from Kissinger or Brezinski or someone?
I don't think we know precisely what we are getting with ISIS, AT ALL.
William Bonzai,
If you are taking requests, the image above would be more accurate with BankstObama'sright hand putting a wad of cash into his ISIS proxy army member's back pocket.
I'm sure others can make some improvements as well.
You can always trust a guy with a gun. You know what he's all about and what he wants. Politicians on the other hand....
If the White house was coaching Notre Dame.
http://dlpoptics.com/MichiganND.jpg
Maybe McCain can be seen climbing out of the ISIS guy's waste band. That would improve accuracy.
Even more accurate would be Banksters jamming cash into the pockets of ISIS and reminding the other guy what the NSA has.
More of a threat? Criminal CIA.
Good idea - Banzai could put an HSBC Bankster on the ISIS guy's right side helping BankstObama stuff that guy's pockets with cash.
Banzai could also have BankstObama rolling a Stinger missile over to the guy with his foot.
This could get really good.
Wheres the picture of jarret??
that fucking Twat!
You mean the Puppets Handler? Hopefully on someone's Hitlist.
Barack is no Barock. 'Between a turd and a hard place' is a little more accurate.
Isn't it "Between Iraq and a hard place" ?
"Thus the saying, "Between a rock and a hard place." "
I thought it would have been between Barack and a hard place, but that would be where sasha sleeps after a nightmare.
Double post.
Er... shouldn't the guy on the right be armed with a golf club or two?
I'm scared shitless..... Big B looks.....ummmm
But they are one and the same. ISIS was founded and funded by the US.
ISIS was great when they committed their atrocities in Syria. Not so great when they started doing them in Iraq.
ISIS: The jihadist movement stamped “Made in America”http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/07/30/isis-j30.html
Listen, One thing is certain. You'll never find out by watching your 'merican teeeveee, or reading your 'merican comic strips....
Real freedom is never given, it is fought for and taken.
A = B. So the correct answer is "none of the above." The biggest threat is that 99% of the people don't realize that A = B.
The answer could also be "all of the above" - lol. Seems to me someone is itching for something nasty to happen here - domestically.
ISIS is the tool of B to attack in Syria and fool at home.
The biggest threat to the United States is Vichy DC. A and B are simply elements of that set.
Nah, LTER nailed that one. It is the ignorance of the American subject that is the fundamental problem.
Holy shiite you hit the bullseye there. +1
One wears a hood,the other one acts like he has never left the "Hood"!
LOL T.T. You got this one right on.
You guys gotta read this link. You won't fucking believe it. Well on second thought, you are here so you probably will.
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2014/09/its-your-fault-federal-reserve-...
Yup. Ya know your in trouble when they spool up that angle on the blame game (paradox of thrift).
But, I suppose we can't lose sight of: financial crisis = sovereign crisis = political crisis = public crisis.
Of course it is all theft. The genius is that the grift is enabled by basic human behavior. So, in the end, the blame game goes full retard.
Can see it warming up already on income, age, race, religion, etc.
You can't have a crisis without isis.
The lunaticfringe is relatively mainstream on Zero Hedge:
HOW is anyone supposed to be prepared against their government becoming their worst enemy? The more that one realizes that the "war on terror" was deliberately started by the ruling classes staging inside job, false flag attacks, and they deliberately have driven the situation to get worse, faster, so that groups like ISIS would come to exist, the more impossible it becomes to be prepared for the next set of false flag attacks, which will probably be worse than those on 9/11/2001!
I do not think that the even the lunatic fringe of the fringe of the fringe, or the Lunatic Fringe Cubed, can come up with any coherent strategy with respect to being prepared, when being prepared would result in making one a target for the government. No matter how one endeavours to try to imagine how insane the real world is, that is never enough anymore, since the real world now includes entities like ISIS, which are tangled up in the history of the apparently infinite tunnels of deceits, through the "war on terror" being a fraud foisted on mainstream morons for evil ulterior purposes!
Here here. They sure don't love when you get your solar and your gray water dialed in. Time to move peasant. There's a nice crowded city over there with municipal water and privatized power. Enjoy your freedom over there.
Now that the U.S. has delivered their ISIS baby, I think that B is trying to serve us on a silver platter to A.... I hate them butlers.
I have no idea which is a greater threat, but I think we should probably treat both threats equally.
Its funny how Obama is always portrayed with giant ears, meanwhile he is known as the most notorious president for spying on Americans ^^ . . . "O what big ears you have" Obama: "All the better to hear you with!"
The biggist threat is B he is already over here.
Fear appears to be what threatens America most. Interestingly a gender gap emerges on how people see the government’s anti-terrorism programs with men being more inclined to think the government has gone to far, it also seems that younger voters, those in their twenties are appalled by the intrusions into our privacy.
Will terrorists kill innocent civilians in the years to come? Of course. They did so more than 100 years ago, when they were called anarchists—and a responsible nation-state must take reasonable measures to protect its citizens. But there is no way to completely eliminate terrorism. The challenge that confronts us is how we will live with that threat. We have created an economy of fear, an industry of fear, a national psychology of fear. Al Qaeda could never have achieved that on its own. We have inflicted it on ourselves. More on this subject in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-terrorist-under-every-bed.html
The odds are greater that you will be killed by a bee sting than by a terrorist in this country. Of course, if Dick Cheney and his demonati friends have their way that will change.
But, Dick and the boys have picked the wrong enemy this time around. Short the dollar and Go long Rope!!!!!!!
Tuco
Apparently there are some HUGE Dick Cheney lovers here. Probably the biggest crook in Bush's administration. Of course Dick(head) was too IMPORTANT to serve his country when it was his turn. Five fucking deferments, give me a break, please.
"Terrorism" is a method of warfare, nothing more, nothing less. Only way to eliminate "terrorism", is eliminate warfare. Good luck in that endeavor.
I fail to see how ISIS is any threat to any significant numbers of americans.
Who cares if they slit a few journalist throats? How is that even a bad thing?
Journalists?!
Pull the troops out of the middle east and put them on the border.
Considering we don't, there must be somthing of importance about that region. Hmmmm.... Oh yeah, bringing peace and democracy to everyone! I almost forgot! Silly me.
Send Biden. He can chase 'em to the gates of hell.
Maybe lose his chia pet in the process.
He would be perfect for the fight against ISIS or ISIL or whateverthefuck the name is today.
They can behead him and he will be the same.
Either/Or. This/That. Bullshit, all day, every day.
Is "B" doing a "curtsey"?
Pulling a selfie.
Pulling his Pud.
Empires are seldom conquered or defeated.... they collaps under their bureaucratic overweight....
Law of Gravity....
C: banks
Central Bank secret shareholders, more specifically.
The Feral government is the biggest threat to We the People.
WE ARE, through apathy against our government.
What about apathy for our government? Nevermind, I just don't care.
Perfect, just perfect.
I love false choice questions ;-)
Amen - it's the most perverse, dead-horse-beat, pervasive, nefarious, b.s. fallacy ruling the MSM for the last 30+ years! Over and out.
But Nmewn, youse gots to be ascared of sumptin'!
I'm more afraid of the electric fencing around my cows than Isis.
That sucker packs a punch when it hits you in the nuts.
What are you doing applying your nuts to your electric fencing.
<On second thought....I don't want to know.> :-)
Sometimes I try and "hop" over instead of going under.
I figure, what the hay, if both feet are off the ground, I won't get zapped!
As a farmer, I enjoy you're blog CD.
To your point, I'm scared of nothing or no one, some of my friends say its a character flaw or something wrong with my mind.
I look at it a little differently, of course ;-)
"I'm scared of nothing or no one"
It is quite clear to me that you have not experienced your very own teenager driving out of the driveway for the very first time alone.
That my friend, is real fear !!!
lol...for most yes I agree they should be scared but here, driving since eight years old, not so much...and (disclaimer) we do live in a rural area.
Yes, I know "highly illegal" and all that rot gut but when teaching with freedom comes responsibility sometimes you have to put your own ass in their hands, to show them that you trust them with that responsibility.
He did fine, I was right beside him, at sixty mph, remaining calm, until the turn ;-)
Lord yes! Especially if said teenager is of the male persuasion and driving your convertable.
I'll never forget, back in the 70's, I was in 7th grade I think. . . Big, older dude comes up on me walking to the public pool w/a friend. Looks at friend and says "I'm not gonna hurt ya cause you look scared". His younger brother was havin' some kinda beef w/one of my younger brothers in grade school. Looks at me and says "You. You don't look scared enough." And I'm thinkin' - really? 'cause I was scared. I was unarmed and a skinny little light-weight at the time, he was way too much taller than me to head-butt and, I knew I had an almost-certain ass-beat coming to me. So, I juked the nukka, cause I could fly like the wind but, "You don't look scared enough" was a defining moment.
OMG, that is SO FREAKING FUNNY!
Thanks for the laugh *_*
don't those 2 have the same boss ?
Can I choose "all of the above"?
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get me.
Which one is foreign to policy ?
It's "B". No contest.
And Bibi...with his hand up the sockpuppets backside.
Trick question?
Well, one is a genuine and severe threat to the American people, the other is a manufactured threat to the so called American government.
These distinctions can be important.
Which is the bigger threat to the United States?
The illusion of choice; they're both the same.
All of the above.
Israel is the biggest threat to the US and so is CONgress which is Israel's BITCH; let's not forget the oligarchs... I think terrorists actually fall behind lightning strikes, being struck by a meteorite, and squirrels on bath salts....
Both are committed to the destruction of the United States. But ISIS would have to work hard for years to achieve the amount of blatantly criminal destruction that obama has wreaked.
Grimaldus
A = B
If would help if they showed us a pic of Obama wearing a black ski mask too.
When every agency of your own government is buying millions of copper jacketed hollow point bullets. I have to think hard about who the real threat is now.
Obviously you are. That is why they spy on you too.
I will take the guy with the AK underfolder - and what looks like a 40 round mag over the skinny guy with big ears.
I usually run a 20 rounder in my underfolder - save the larger capacity mags for my full stock AKs.
You like a 30-40 round mag with an underfolder?
IMHO it makes the gun "top heavy" you lose accuracy - follow up shots are much harder -
Government is the problem.
Simple, really.
Countries are fictions used to divide the herds so they can be pitted against each other.
All the world's 'governments' are run by psychopaths who think it's OK to play their games with humanity as the pieces in the game.
time to say NO
Wake the fuck up!
Absolutely agreed. Government is always the problem. That's why government always throw fake boogie men at you. They always have to support their legitimacy by having an enemy of the people. To protect the people from this enemy. We're gonna have roving gangs of poeple who steal, kidnap and murder to protect you from roving gangs of people who steal, kidnap and murder. Picture B.
And I always love the gun control one.
"Let's take everyone's guns!"
"Sounds so great and peaceful! Who's gonna do it?"
"Oh, the guys with the most guns."
"Neat. Sign me up!"
The guy on the right has a dick for a head. Dickhead.
One delivers in the neck
The other delivers in the sphincter
The biggest threat to the United States is us citizens. That's right, us! Here's why; we don't care what happens in the world unless someone is pissing in your sandbox. Your best friend just lost his job. So sorry, it won't happen to me. Yeah right!
Corporations are saying we have plenty of jobs but can't find anyone trained. Yeah right! Then train them and hire them full time.
Give out EBT cards and free phones. Yeah right, like that's a solution. People milking the whole I'm disabled bull, I can't work, pay me anyways.
Have a kid, pay me, I can't work. Who's going to babysit? Pay me more.
Makes me puke how weak the United States has become.
Please add more to my post that makes you want to puke.
Their both enemies. B is far more dangerous as he is destroying us from the inside wheras A is up front about it. Reminds me of a Cicero quote...
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
Guy on the right is creepin' me out!!
There are so many acronym enemies that can be created from broken down Guantanamo prisoners that the people will evenatually give up and give everything to government.
Both A and B are the same enemy. One plays good cop, the other one the bad cop.
Thats easy: The one on the right drinks, smokes dope, and has a couple of thousand nukes.
ISIS is a threat to the US only if they threaten to disrupt the business interests of international oil companies or financial institutions. They pose no threat to ordinary Americans, who are innocent victims of the same oligarchs. And don't be fooled. Obama has a strategy, albeit one which can never be publically admitted. No person, groups, organizations, or countries will ever be allowed to threaten big business, including American citizens. Anyone doing so will be branded a terrorist....marked for rendition or worse. The strategy is too horrible to ever be made public, lest the American people wise up and demand an immediate end to it.
If you turn the ISIS fellow upside down you get Obama (SISI) (i.e. Sissy)
Yeah and yeah they are both threats, but Tylers asked which is the Bigger Threat .... hands down that would be B the Big-eared, Bisexual, Bogus-born US Citizen, Bigoted liar-in-chief!
They are one in the same. US Gov armed Al Qaeda in Libya. Obama's mentor armed them in Afganistan in the 80s.
Brzezenski has a hard on for the Russians and Chinese.
This is not hard to see. Obama told you on day one that Zibig was his mentor at Columbia.
Obama is an owned man.
period.
ISIS is not a threat.
They are US paid and armed.
The whole deal now is about Russia
and destroying Russia
The Russian Bear does not back down
This is suicide mission for the EU and US.
fucking fools taking us down with them.
PROTEST NO WAR WITH RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
datz rayciss
isn't ISIS the rebel army fighting the syrian civil war that was Barack's secret love only just a few years ago?
Central bankers are the biggest threat. They pick the President, fund the "rebels" and start the wars, all in the name of profit and power. Get rid of the banksters and we wouldn't have ISIS or Obama.
Oh yeah. Spot on. Really surprised that you got a down vote. Must be someone with a lot of Halliburton stock.
The one on the left is a Sick Duck. The one on the right . . .
Isis is not the USA's problem. Let Europe fix it. They always have plenty of bright ideas.
ISIS is the greatest false flag of all time. It is Al Qaeda writ large, at the level of an entire mini-empire.
Make no mistake. ISIS is not controlled in Qatar, or SA, or the GCC (they merely provide the funding). It is controlled from Langley, the City, and Tel Aviv. The give-away is the admitted participation of British muslims, by the reluctance of the US to call in airstrikes. The black hood is to hide their blue eyes and Academi afiliation.
The "no strategy" bit is merely because that is what appears on the teleprompter. Obama is paid to look the fool and be the fall guy (at least he gets to play golf, not a bad fringe benefit) while ISIS expands unchecked, as it was designed to do in Langley and Tel Aviv.
The real purpose behind ISIS dawned on me from this debate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yP4xdNCZek#t=482
between the zombie Wash DC journalist and the ex-Marine presented by presstv recently which showed up in a ZH post. The talking points regarding ISIS are already in place if the brainless journalist who spewed them out is typical.
The US Deep State will try to unite the Sunni and Shiite in common cause against this fake ISIS enemy, and hence control them.
MASS STUPIDITY = biggest threat to ussa
One and the same threat, one and the same.
