So is World War III still on or no? I remember being lambasted here last week for suggesting that Iran wouldn't be able to retaliate meaningfully.

There's no credible indication that the fire in Tehran a couple of nights ago was linked to Israel or was even suspicious.

He deserves friendly ridicule in sports threads, not this one. Our athletic rivalry shouldn’t extend to real-life animosity.

Sorry I have been busy the past couple of days. Haven't been able to read through all of the posts since Sunday night. I'll simply say that if the intel is correct and the strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program for a few months, that is certainly bad news. I stand by my earlier claims that...

I’m not going anywhere. Not going to reward the negativity.

I'm not worried about a liberal/conservative balance. At this point, reality has a liberal bias because the conservatives have gone full-on anti-science. I'm simply annoyed at being personally attacked for expressing a viewpoint that is barely even controversial. It is tiring.

No one endorsed it, and no one jumped all over that poster the way I was jumped on for stating that we're not all going to die tomorrow in World War III.

I'm glad you are a lawyer, Super. Given that you claim to be an expert in this area, perhaps you can clear something up for the rest of us. If someone makes an allegation against someone else, and the person that the allegation is made against denies the allegation, does this denial in fact mean...

I just find it interesting, once again, that these ground rules only apply to certain posters. For instance, no one seemed to mind another poster claiming that tens of thousands of American soldiers are going to die now. We're OK with alarmism but not the opposite. Of course no one knows what...

Careful with your logic and reason here. The people are convinced that World War III is imminent. To suggest otherwise is to run afoul of the groupthink.

You really are embarrassing yourself. Responding to a false allegation does not make that allegation somehow true. Man, that's your third strike today. And you claim to be a lawyer? I feel horrible for any clients you might have. I've walked the dog with you all day today and haven't even had to...

The article itself absolutely contradicted them. The links buried within the article may or may not have, but I didn't read all of them. If the links were in contradiction to the article that was citing them, that's a problem with the author of that article.

The person posted the article without further comment as an attempt to bolster an argument that they had made previously. It turned out that the article actually did the opposite. That was one of my reasons for highlighting that portion of the article, as it directly contradicted the point that...

A sign of bad-faith arguing is conspiratorially believing that everyone who disagrees with you is somehow the same poster. That, combined with your intentional misreading or disregarding of articles that other posters have provided to us is your second strike here. Truly a horrible outing for...

This is false. It has always been about the nuclear capabilities, which represent an existential threat to Israel's existence. Regime change would just be an added benefit for the Israelis.
