@AyaDreamsSepia He is talking about Britain being taken over.

The security guard is not out of line. People hide all manner of things in their hijabs and under clothing, which is why there are restrictions for these garments.

This girl is European and is not studying Lesbian Dance. Not really possible in Europe. Also, she is speaking in English, not her native language, so keep that in mind and she is talking about a difficult subject with someone who is speaking at a very high level, so it should not be surprising that she struggles. A little empathy here is in order.

Tim Poole does not know his business. You can’t claim a war time president when there is no war. The Left is quite cultish, left and liberal are not the same things. We are not in a time of war. Also a time of war does not justify any action by the president. Conflict does not equal war. War is kinetic. It’s not about on line. Civil strife also is not general in the US. And is also not war. Manipulation of language is a leftist tactic. What far Left terrorists are operating with impunity?

No, the definition of war is not the use of commensurate force against an aggressor. That is so overly broad that it encapsulates almost any conflict in any realm

Was she arrested for assault?

Poole is pretending to be an intellectual and he is not. He also doesn’t really know history. His thinking is sloppy.

If you will vote for Kamala then you are a huge part of the problem. This is the problem with people like Maher who do not realize where all the idiocy of the Left comes from. He is voting for it. Maher does not think through his positions. He is good at sarcasm but not smart.

Manipulation of language is a leftist tactic. It’s Orwellian and that is what Poole is doing. The overthrow of Qadaffi was primarily a British french endeavor with minimal US support. The country was already in civil war. So Poole’s analysis is just wrong. Propaganda and technology manipulations also are not evidence of war but are typical of spy craft and economic competition. Fear is also not evidence of war. It is a component of life. Poole has been drinking the kool aid. War from ancient to modern only differs in the weapons used. No, unconventional war has also ancient. It’s not new. Manipulation is not war. War is inherently kinetic you cannot have war without force to include blockade. Redefining the word to match fringe theories will not fly. No, presidential overreach does not justify the title wartime pres. No, Abraham Lincoln was not a dictator. Does the Constitution justify presidents becoming dictators. Suspending habeas corpus is not the same as becoming a dictator. Also Lincoln was in the midst of a civil war not an external war.

@anarex0929 War has always been about will, belief, deception, and control, not just steel and fire. Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) Warfare defined as conducting through non-kinetic means the manipulation of information, perception, and belief to destabilize societies, delegitimize governments, or achieve objectives without direct violence, is actually normal statecraft, foreign affairs, espionage, propaganda etc...i.e., international politics. Psychological warfare, deception, propaganda, irregular combat, and subversion of will have existed for millennia. Under international law (e.g., Geneva Conventions, UN Charter), war or armed conflict has criteria and Involves states (or organized armed groups). Sustained, intentional, organized violence. Engagement in hostilities, governed by jus in bello (laws of war) and must distinguish combatants from noncombatants. Anything that involves systematic, state-sanctioned killing on a mass scale is war. Subversion, sanctions, and deception are serious, but not war in this legal or moral sense. Non-state actors who deliberately ignore the laws of war, target civilians, or embed within civilian populations are engaging in war, but without honor or accountability. Terrorism, insurgency, and hybrid tactics often violate jus in bello. These actors reject reciprocity, using the laws of war as a shield rather than a restraint.This is why groups like Hamas, ISIS, or al-Qaeda do not qualify for POW status under Geneva protections — they violate the very conventions they exploit. Naming some kind of non-kinetic competition as warfare... obscures the reality of true war. Therefore, wrongly labeling meme campaigns, disinformation, trade policy disputes, election meddling, spy operations, as "warfare" is disingenuous and wrong. All of the above are normal behaviors of the nation state since ancient times to include: Espionage Propaganda Economic coercion Statecraft None of these are actual war and calling them "5th Generation Warfare" or “info-war” dilutes the gravity of war, and risks justifying wartime responses to peacetime maneuvers. If everything is war, then nothing is peace, and that’s a dangerous slide. When we follow the ramifications of Poole's line of thought we risk militarizing diplomacy and may criminalize speech as “cognitive attacks.” We degrade the rules of war, which protect civilians and combatants alike. True war involves mass violence, state sanction, and legal consequences, and should not be redefined every time a hostile tweet or trade tariff is deployed. All of the above are real threats, but they are not war in the classical or legal sense. Calling them so blurs boundaries that should remain sharp for the sake of restraint, legality, and clarity.

@anarex0929 I did speak to this. These terms are academic i.e. limited to academia and only certain individuals who are pushing these ideas. They are not accepted generally or internationally by any treaty, official documents, dictionary or law. That means they are at best interesting theories and at worst Orwellian definitions of words. Not helpful. No dancing, you just missed it

Cenk is a complete Leftist commie.

Konstantine did not say that the tesla violence was not terrorism. Strawman. He simply said that these actions were not commensurate with Lincoln and the civil war.

@ what is false?

@jabronisauce6833 Domestic terrorism is not an aspect of being at war. It is an internal issue. The USA has suffered through multiple bouts of this sort of thing, with the anarchist movement during the Progressive Era, the 1960s and recently with BLM, internal Jihadists and others. None of this is evidence of war.

Not.

The idea that a word has intrinsic power is ridiculous. Sticks and stones is perfect for these situations. N i g g e r is just a word, which means black and if someone uses it without animus what is the harm? There is none. Words are not magic and have no power other than what we allow.
