What's the world coming to when a scruffy bunch of unidentified heavily-armed masked men can't even congregate without permission and loiter for no reason in a stadium parking lot without someone calling the police on them.

In 12 yrs of Obama-Biden, they had a total of 4 National Security Advisors. In <4.5 yrs of trump, he's already on #8, who is inexplicably and irresponsibly also serving as the Secretary of State. Stability matters. As does competence and experience.

From a purely tactical point of view, I remain skeptical about the utility of this war. The crown jewels of the nuclear program are nestled half a mile deep in Fordo, and even the mighty GBU-57 can only penetrate about 10% of that depth.

Sorry [not sorry] for harping on this, but if openly and repeatedly advocating for violent attacks against Jews worldwide doesn't count as antisemitism, then what the hell does‽ Why is this incitement to hate crimes being normalized as acceptable?

QotD: “I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.” It's one thing to not _say_ what you're going to do, and quite another to not _know_ what you're going to do. Rather hard to plan for the latter...

Meanwhile back home in NYC we have a mayoral candidate calling for "violent resistance" against Jews throughout the world, including his own potential constituents. Which you'd think would be a disqualifying position, yet he continues to lead in the polls. Lander needs to condemn not endorse him.

Israel made a catastrophic and disgusting decision to retaliate against the civilian population of Gaza for the heinous actions of Hamas. I really hope that they don't make the same mistake in Iran, it would be dangerous, illegal, and unforgivably wrong.

The International Atomic Energy Agency responsible for monitoring Iran's nuclear programme has lost track of the 400 kg of enriched uranium they are supposed to track. Literally the whole purpose of their existence. It's not quite bomb-grade, but would still make quite a mess as a "dirty bomb."

Regardless of whether or not the US directly enters the fray, it is essential that the goal remains limited to the elimination of the nuclear program, and that the people of Iran are not targeted.

The resemblance is uncanny

I knew that Khamenei wasn't the nicest guy, but had been under the impression that he was primary a figurehead. I was mistaken, he is in fact directly and personally responsible for literally everything bad that Iran has done in the past 35 years.
