Okay, I was utterly wrong about the conflict.

It turns out the Saudis created this crisis, the Houthis are the ethical faction(but anti-west for historical reasons) due to economic mismanagement by the former president who then sided with the Houthis than against them, then got killed, and the vice-president started a civil war with the backing of the Gulf Council.

TLDR: Saudis want Yemen divided for geopolitical reasons.

And now 400K people are dead. Which goes to show civil wars are usually a bad idea.

China thinks DF-21Ds can strike a carrier battle-group when it's just an upgraded Pershing-II missile.

Remember when his way of being controversial was by saying that then President Bush doesn't care about black people, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina?

White Lives Matter, dammit. Kanye got t-shirts to prove it. Probably told all about it on Tucker too.

Kanye, it’s DEFCON. It stands for Defence Condition.
Also cute that he's only at 3. Probably read heard somewhere that the US is currently at Defcon 3 because of Ukraine and just assumed that's the worst level.

Eh...while he's likely unaware of the proper DEFCON progression (and what the levels even mean), in this particular case it doesn't actually make a lick of difference. DEFCON goes from 5 to 1, so DEFCON 3 is the exact middle level.

No it doesn't. With a name like that it'd star Steven Seagal or maybe latter days Bruce Willis, so you can scratch the 'reasonably good' part.
I reckon Jason Statham is in it, and so, inexplicably, is Michael Caine (it's not inexplicable, he's very clear that he'll be in films for money). They've even CG'd a bit of Paul Walker in there. And by CG'd, I mean just put in clippings from the F&F cutting room floor. He's walking down the street DRIVING A FAST CAR, going into a shop EXPLOSION, paying the cashier VROOM THERE'S A HELICOPTER.
