Yes, there is. Iran has an abundance of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium, some of it at a military site under an armored mountain that also houses thousands of centrifuges. If that isn’t a nuclear weapons program, then what is?

Do you think the lack of a serious strike on some facilities- even just at entrances- is more likely due to a lack of Israel’s capability to inflict long-term damage, or more likely due to strategies such as trying to entice US assistance, seeing if/where Iran attempts to relocate material, etc.?

Do you believe Israel is militarily capable of destroying or significantly degrading Iran’s nuclear program- specifically, effectively striking Fordow- without the US providing/using its best bunker-buster munitions?

About those goggles: so-called nonlethal rounds (such as “rubber bullets”) can take out an eye.
Make sure your goggles are ballistics-rated. A handy article (I am not affiliated with this site): safetyglassesusa.com/blogs/news/h...
Some appropriately-specified models are less than $20.

I just Wikipedia searched Gen. John Raaen- this guy earned a BS in engineering at West Point, stormed Normandy, became an instructor at West Point, and earned a Masters in nuclear physics at John’s Hopkins before the age of 30?!
That is… impressive!

I continuously find myself asking “who the hell are these people, and where did they come from?”

Agreed.
Also, substances can absolutely cause bad behaviors. I’ve had a countless number of clients facing serious criminal charges who were otherwise peaceful and caring people that did harmful and selfish things because they were under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol- especially alcohol.

No. He paid Hesh because he felt genuine sympathy for his wife’s death.

Their main story last night about defense company Anduril’s founder Palmer Luckey was a ridiculous puff piece that didn’t question his claim he was fired from Facebook for being a Trump supporter or mention how Trump nominated an Anduril employee as undersecretary of defense who refuses to divest.

It’s difficult to find any coherent objective or theme in Asura’s posts, but I think he’s trying to get you to say that Grok is sentient and that it may have have 1st amendment rights but those rights shouldn’t include hate speech?

Wouldn’t secretly recording conversations without two-party consent violate the law in many states?
This whole concept seems extremely legally problematic in addition to being outrageously creepy and authoritarian.

At a preliminary hearing I cross-examined a member of PETA who accused my client of animal cruelty for working at a slaughterhouse, but the judge didn’t let it get too far…

To be fair, I stole the joke from an early 90’s A&W Rootbeer commercial:

No one should be that proudly eager to sentence someone to life in prison- even if that person deserves to be locked up for the rest of his or her life.

I wasn’t going to boycott Israeli products or services, but if that bill passes I can’t wait to start!

I was aware of the deficiencies in our political system but believed, and partly still believe, they can be fixed by working within existing framework.
I also believe the partial moral and civic collapse of America could not have happened without the advent of a far-right propaganda ecosystem.

This isn’t even a satirical headline, it’s literally what Trump wants to do!
