    I have never see this movie but could instanly hear the classic blunders line in the voice of Grand Nagus Zek.

    Did they reference that line in ds9?

      Take the time, watch the movie. Will not disappoint. You’re one of todays’ Ten Thousand, a particularly good one.

      To my knowledge no, not in DS9, beyond the usage of ‘fool’, which he does so well, happy to be corrected.

      The movie is fantastic. Endlessly quotable, cast is very easy on the eyes, keeps things moving.

      The book was so sexist I had to bail.

    TBF, that applies more to invading Ukraine.

    Iran is in such a different level that it didn’t even become a classical blunder. It has just been right-out impossible through most of history.

    Even though we have that famous “if you attack Persia a powerful empire will fall” one, that Trump managed to quote.

      Or Korea, or Vietnam. Actually by now Ukraine seems more of a never invade Russia in winter blunder, made by Russia itself.

      But a Princess Bride reference in these trying times is it’s own reward.
