Israel launches attack on Iran

[Centerpiece]

On holding sway over the Iranian people, the regime says “we hold 35% of the people on our side, and we hold all of the weapons.”

Sound familiar?

Maga and Trump holds 35% of the American populace, and they hold all of the weapons. Game. Set. Match.

How exactly does one investigate a missile launch, especially one with a ton of explosives?

I don’t know — “a ton of explosives” sounded like something generic I would say.

Comfortably less than a shit-ton.

Comfortably less than a shit-ton.

Which is, of course, comfortably less than a fuck-ton, so a totally reasonable amount of ton for Israel to manage.

Always in these situations look for possible conflicts of interest in assessing the info. It may be right but the bias should be kept in mind.
Who supplied the false intelligence info on Iraq WMD which led to the 1991 war
Weird hearing replays of 2016 Trump Repub primary debates screaming about the false info: They lied!!!
In mahny ways, this seems eerily similar to the PR build-up campaign to get UIS info Iraq

This decision processw needs to SLOW down IMO

If Trump is going flipflop on diplomacy vs attack, shouldn't we at least make Israel pay us for using the bomb and our bomber? Bibi is driving the train, if he wants to finish it, make some $ off it.
