But there's an old adage in baseball that on any given day even a last-place team can beat a first-place team.
There's just a low correlation between team quality and the outcome of a single game. That's why, in addition to financial considerations, MLB playoffs and the World Series consist of multiple games. The WBC does not use this format.
It wasn't a single game. It is a tournament. You do understand that, right?

I can't think of a single thing a wall will stop except wildlife.

If you think any of your patently absurd reasons above makes sense I'd suggest professional help.
The only purpose is projecting sovereignty in the area.

The pushback on Trump is a huge hint as the U.S. can't just do what it wants. As far as these other countries, hello Russian oil, Trump's gift to his pal Putin. NATO is important, Trump's arrogance is not.
Don't feed the forum troll. It's insatiable and incredibly repetitive and boring.

Article 5 does not cover conflict outside of Europe and NA. This is not a NATO problem.

53 minutes ago, dinsdale said: It's being said that Iran missile launches are down 92%, drone launches down about the same and the missile launchers have been depleted by around 60%. It's the Patriot systems that will be being taxed the most but there's a fairly large stockpile and as stated the amount of missile and drone attacks have dramatically reduced. The Iranian Navy has basically been taken out of action and as of today the IRGC Navy is being struck. These are the midget subs, mine layers and fast attack boats. The air force is also gone. The US will have no trouble continuing this for some time. Much longer than Iran if we're just talking offensive weapon systems. Having air superiority means standoff weapons are no longer required. The US will have no trouble continuing this for some time. Much longer than Iran.
Source? Or is "it's being said" enough for you?
Oh wait... Edit... Now it's not "What's being said" it's what's rattling around in your cranium. Why lie in the first post?

You have no idea what you're talking about. Americas Navy sails that often, I was there when they had the American hostages
No Navy to Navy because 43 of their navy is sunk. They have 2 subs and some fast attack boats left, thats it.What the heck does your response have to do with Iran's ability to hit the entire straight from ground batteries?

The control of ANYTHING should be taken away from the USA permanently so that they can never hold the world hostage again.

I think you need something checked. It's only you that seems to be imploding. Most folk can hold more than one idea at a time 😉

The word International Joke and European military in the same sentence is quite appropriate.

Nothing has changed. All of the above still applies. EXCEPT in bizarro world.

No one in NATO trusts you anymore anyway. Do you not follow the news? The EU is investing in their own defence as the USA becomes an international joke... the Board of Peace 😂😄

7 minutes ago, Alan Zweibel said: Krugman pointed out that the reason for this: this way, Trump gets to arbitrarily impose whatever tariffs he pleases on whatever country he pleases. So he could punish Brazil for prosecuting Bolsonaro or Switzerland because he didn't like the way the Swiss president spoke to him.
So, the answer is: hubris 😉

The question being - why weren't these different avenues used to begin with? Ignorance of the laws? Incompetence? Hubris? 🤔🤷

Interesting side note no one has mentioned. Howard Nut... I mean Lutnick's family firm bought up the rights to tariff refunds for 20-30 cents on the dollar last year shortly after "liberation day". Meaning he was betting that SCOTUS would eventually rule this way. Grifters one and all.

The point that went right over your head is that it worked. You'd have to know some American history though and thats gonna require reading so no, I don't expect muchAnd what went right over your head is the fact that you are living in the past. The world has changed. Conservatives, by definition, are anti-change. Som nom na.

I hope you are not a USA citizen. Because it is most common to be arrested prior to being formally charged. It is quite rare that a prosecutor has filed charges prior to arrest.

The spittlescreeching over everything cheapens deserving critisism.
You'd be right, except for the fact that there are NO savings 🤔😂

Venezuela Beats US To Become World Champions In Baseball
in Political Soapbox
Baseball is your national sport. Hockey is Canada's. 42% of players in the NHL are Canadian. 28% USA, despite being 10x larger 🤣 Really doesn't matter where the teams are located. Canucks are making bank in the NHL. The random few USA athletes which choose ice hockey over the Big Three USA sports are playing on Canada's rink 😉
