BingoBoingo: I remember earlier this week some radio host talking about how Obama is only giving the Peshmerga 20 so Armoured personel carriers instead of the 120 som the Pershmerga needs
mircea_popescu: about how hard teh ppl are workin to supply thje salvation army and what % quotas were supplied ?
thestringpuller: except the golden age of comics
mircea_popescu: no golden age before is worth all of this golden lulz.
mircea_popescu: oh gods i am so thankful to have been born in the first ever Age of Comedy
BingoBoingo: Right now the talking heads in the media keep talking about how we need to arm the Kurds further, and how far we are from fulfilling their requests in total.
BingoBoingo: mats: Here prolly. Give it a decade or two. The Mujahadeen didn't become Al Queda until Osama needed to handle pensions.
mircea_popescu: sadly i don't see too well inside teh golden crescent. no real interest for me there.
mats: as i understand it, they don't want to wade into shia sunni violence and catch some political fallout in the process
mircea_popescu: what i'd like to see is what the fuck "humint" provided the 1-2k figure is all.
mats: BingoBoingo: i believe the kurds will be on the outskirts of mosul, pulling security
BingoBoingo: <mats> i don't believe the kurds will actually fight inside mosul << There's a time and place the Kurds will fight, but first the need to go through the motions of leveraging all of the phree stuff they can from Obola
mats: i don't believe the kurds will actually fight inside mosul
mircea_popescu: it's like a rite of passage, for arabs, pissing on the great satan. whoever does it best is just more respectable, is all.
mircea_popescu: it's a "us vs one of the football teams of the Y. they do nominally vie for supremacy. they do not in the slightest mind any one team take the world cup"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would say that's a gross misrepresentation.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, but turkey's an ally in this campaign o.O
asciilifeform: unless i grossly misunderstand, it's not a 'us vs arabs' match, but a 'small faction of uppity orcs vs whole bunch of other folks incl. most of the neighbouring orcs' match.
asciilifeform: iirc there's some disagreement among the arabs at large
mircea_popescu: o, im sure nobody is supporting the arabs o.O
asciilifeform not specialist, but remembers that vietnam had, e.g., leaf cover
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno how infinite that is. but "infinite" didn't help vietnam
mircea_popescu: somebody in the us ACTUALLY SET TO PAPER the thought that well, since they're noobs that's a strategic advantage, "nobody will be able to know they're not as described on tin, iraq/kurd"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> think about it. GREEN mercenaries vs allah's host. << Don't forget the mercenaries that aren't green in the peshmerga who want their own state carved out of Turkey
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu> "everyone" knows academi has been hiring overtime. << these are all noobs.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: theory goes that no well-fed u.s. 400k-usd/yr academi demolitions expert or whatnot has the slightest desire to be king of the orcs
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: simpler than that.
mircea_popescu: applied in lieu of chain of command ? what are these people smoking!
mircea_popescu: i've never seen nuttery on this level before. seriously, "soft politics" is one thing, "oh we're so good we control teh ppl with the media".
mircea_popescu: ie, why will this force do what we tell them to ? well... because thewy saw it on tv.
mircea_popescu: chetty its because they [perhaps correctly] figure they need the outside reinforcement.
mircea_popescu: the discussion is in the logs on this score.
mircea_popescu: all these dudes can just move to new york, rob banks. what's to stop them ?
mircea_popescu: paris police is regularly ordered to stand down from organised muslim crime. what exactly is so special about paris ?
chetty: "US Central Command says up to 25,000 troops are being assembled for the Mosul campaign, to take on 1-2,000 ISIL fighters."//next notice to include specific deployment schedules and routes, never fear
mircea_popescu: is that at some point they'll stop merely taking what you provide and start beating you.
mircea_popescu: if you raise your children badly, it's not that they won't NEED it
PeterL: seems like we are building a monster we wont be able to control
mircea_popescu: so they... didn't.
mircea_popescu: let me remind you that last time the dod threatened to investigate blackwater the response (from the ceo) was : if you try we'll just kill your "investigator" and that'll be that.
PeterL: at what point does this mercenary force stop listening to orders and just raiding whoever the feel like?
mircea_popescu: the epic lulz of it tho... so iraq had some 100k under arms that ran off abandoning not just weapons but their very unifortms, and now the us that don't even speak the language found 20k guys who are of the opposite persuasion. heck, if only the iraq state could be as proficiernt, they could have found better soldiers o.O
mircea_popescu: but the move has both putin and the chinese politburo in stitches. seriously, this means the us will never again deploy its own troops. us military just became an extremely expensive jannisary corp.
PeterL: and us USians still wonder why we are paying for soldiers to derp around on the other side of the world
mircea_popescu: and winning a war with mercenaries against those nuts is above what i could accomplish.
mircea_popescu: "everyone" knows academi has been hiring overtime. these are all mercenaries, they are costing the us more than us troops would have cost
mircea_popescu: anyway, that they're "iraquis" is ridoinculous beyond belief. not even the usg believes anyone'd believe it, hence the "and kurdish" because supposedly nobody knows who the kurds are. except...
mircea_popescu: "well at least there's a lot of us. that gotta count for something."
mircea_popescu: because they don't stand a chance.
PeterL: why do they need so many troops?
mircea_popescu: "US Central Command says up to 25,000 troops are being assembled for the Mosul campaign, to take on 1-2,000 ISIL fighters." boooon.... o sa iasa un dezastru...
mircea_popescu: that's what nobody wants to really say about string theory : while it's a ridiculous pile of pasta, it's not *really* that far off from physics.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: http://xkcd.com/1489/ <<< that's pretty much EXACTLY it. and then various noobs imagine physics is a serious science, while in fact it barely hangs out at the outskirts of credibility, and same noobs imagine stuff like i dunno, psychiatry or "earth sciences" are not kinda as srs as physics "but nevertheless".
mircea_popescu: assbot: Greece and creditors agree to extend bailout package << euians saw all the fun usians had with the "debt ceiling", made a little sideshow of their own.
dignork: well, pretty much anyone doing TLS MitM just creates one key per client/subnet/attack, unless it's USG just using a kosher VeriSign key
BingoBoingo: dignork: You mean like the windows AV vendors do?
dignork: btw Superfish clowns could at least spare some embarrassment if they generated CA cert per customer instead of using hard-coded one.
assbot: Homeland Security Urges Lenovo Customers To Remove Superfish - Slashdot ... ( http://bit.ly/1FHbjU8 )
