he uses the example of Trumpieboy loudly saying the US was withdrawing from Syria, and then killing the leader of ISIS, who wrongly concluded that he would be safe.
reports that the US "withdrawal" harmed the raid was probably deliberate misinformation by the Pentagon.
and the latest "threat" to call the Mexican drug cartels terrorists?
Well it might upset Mexican government, but as Bay points out:
it's all in the Art of the Deal...
the threat clearly targets the sick psyches of the drug lords running the cartels. Ambush Americans on Mexican highways and they pay. Jail? No. A visit from Delta Force and its dogs, or a 2,000-pound Air Force joint direct attack munition.

So what about the photo/headlines in the press implying that the world leaders were laughing at Trumpieboy? Blame Russia.
AnnAlthouse points out that's now what is going on; if you actually watch the video you see:
There isn't one audible/subtitled line that can be characterized as a joke. It's just Princess Anne, Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau, and Emmanuel Macron talking — bellyaching? — about how he was late because he did a press conference.
Anyone running with the story of "world leaders joking" is taking a prompt from Russian government-owned media, Sputnik News, which is where the video was originally posted. Fake news.

the typhoon missed us, but did mess up the SEA Games here. Several events were postponed.

the SJW are having a hissy fit over the Mandelorian. AGGH. Toxic masculinity AND a cute baby.
the original Starwars was a remake of The Hidden Fortress, but this one seems to be a remake of the Spaghetti westerns of Clint Eastwood. So one fan made this trailer for the series.
the Spaghetti westerns of course are a variation of the Samurai epics of course, and episode 4 of the Mandelorian is even a retelling of the Seven Samurai.
I saw the original Starwars trilogy with my boys at the theatre, but didn't watch all the later stuff since Lolo hated science fiction/fantasy so we never watched it either at the theatre or on TV.
Apparently, a lot of the backstory comes from the cartoons/tv shows, comics/novels or games, not just the film series.
---------------------
and speaking of Samurai and the bounty hunter: the film Once Upon a time in Hollywood makes the hero a TV bounty hunter (have Gun will Travel, or Clint Eastwood's TV show Rawhide?) who then goes to work in the Italian film industry in order to try to make a comeback.
Presumably it's a film you have to watch with other "boomers" and point out all the songs and stuff from 1969 when you were young
But you'll have to do it: I was in medical school then and didn't have a life outside of study work study work and a few hours sleep.
so except for the ending, I found the film boring.
But I do wish I had that dog for protection.
