Israel launches attack on Iran | US bombs Iran nuke sites

dc has been a cesspool of corrupt blues and reds for decades. cant believe anyone with half a brain could be fooled into voting for any of them
In your estimation, who would someone with “a full brain” vote for? I’m not even being snarky, I’m genuinely curious in your perspective.
 
Not offering my own commentary- just presenting a very interesting thread. We should all hope he’s wrong because if he isn’t, Saturday’s strike was a strategic failure.









 

This one is a great, concise summary of why all the “one week to a bomb” estimates, even if they’re more than just Twitter rumors, are not credible. Big difference between one week to WGU and one week to a bomb.

Let's say Iran decides to rush a bomb. Iran can install ~1.5 cascades a week. In six weeks, it could have 9 cascades of IR-6 machines. It would take those machines about 60 days to enrich all 400 kg to WGU. Altogether that's about five months although IMMV.
 
There is no way that two genius level brains like Kegseth & Trump screwed this up. I refuse to believe it.
At least there was no Signal chat about the bombers launching from Missouri.
Why is there no news coverage about Trump's decision to withdraw from the Obama agreement with Iran to monitor their production with UN inspections? Seems relevant to discussions about why this launch was necessary.
My main concern at this point is the safety of our 40,000 troops at bases in the region.
 
I do not want anyone to mistake me for someone who doesn’t want Iran‘s ability to create nuclear weapons permanently obliterated, because I absolutely do, and I absolutely would wholeheartedly support the Trump administration doing so in a way that is actually strategically thought out and in collaboration with our other allies, but man, it is not looking like Saturday’s strike was successful to that end, and in fact may prove to be ultimately counterproductive.

It's like if you swap at a wasp, but you miss. Now it's pissed and will try to sting you. It might not have the ability to kill you, but it can leave a mark.
 
An anthropologist friend of mine contends that far from being the troglodytic brutes that Neanderthals are often depicted as, they were actually the sensitive artistic types that got wiped out by the more thuggish and aggressive Homo sapiens and naturally I agree with her. Basically Homo sapiens were the Magas of the Late Pleistocene era. Or maybe I should say the MANGA's (make the Neander Valley great again)...

There were still IAEA, which reports to the UN, requirement they suspended as they got closer to the bomb

chatgpt:

Since 2021, Iran has violated the following key IAEA-related commitments:

By 2024–2025, the IAEA concluded that it could no longer verify the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program due to loss of oversight and incomplete cooperation.
