Back in 1975, the US and South Africa squared off against The Soviet Union and Cuba in Angola. Problem was, Cuba could put in troops without any serious domestic opposition from their home front. The US was fresh off of a disaster in Vietnam and so didn't have a domestic mandate to get involved in Angola. When Cuba decided to call the wager made by the US, the US had to withdraw and Cuban troops occupied Angola for many years. Likewise in the situation with Russia and Iran backing Bashar al-Assad versus the US and Israel squaring off over Syria. The US doesn't have a mandate to make any sort of serious commitment, so if the other guys make a serious effort, Israel will be all alone.
"No one will ever be able to use that line again. Trump has struck."
Yeah, I hate the fact that we can't use "Mission Accomplished" anymore. G.W. Bush ruined that phrase forever.
The new Ms. Marvel is pretty cool. In issue #6, Kamala meets Wolverine and immediately starts gushing about how she's such a fan of his. She tells him that her fan fiction story on him and Storm were the third favorite on a site. Wolverine asks what the number one story was and it's a romance with Scott Summers and Emma Frost (All four characters are X-Men). Wolverine is annoyed that Summers is more popular than he is and then he and Ms. Marvel (Whose powers take after Elasti-Girl of the Doom Patrol) promptly run into trouble (Which they overcome, of course, using teamwork).

That occured to me right after Jeb commented on how wonderfully G.W. responded to 9/11. "Wha? What's so &%$#@!!! wonderful about 'go shopping'?!?!?!"

The TV show Cosmos demonstrates that ol' Rupe has NO idea what he's saying.
