    Yeah that was the most complimentary thing you have ever said about Trump - almost hat in hand. I think you are premature but that probably isn't a new development for you.

    If indeed. We will never know if the US was needed for this outcome, Israel seemed to have them on their heels just fine on their own, IMO. Also a bit early to be spiking the football. Tip of the cap if he can pull it off and deserve another Nobel Peace Prize.

    Looking at 247 as recruits Bryce Young listed at 6'5.5" 244 - now 6' 7" 273 Lambert 6'6" 280 now 6'7" 341 Jagusah 6'6" 308 now 6'7" 333 Kedren Young 5'10" 217 now 5'11" 242 If Young and Jagusah keep their quick feet adding that much (presumably) good weight - damn. Lambert is supposed to be...

    I think this is all very plausible but also falls into FAFO territory. "I'm not touching you" game in the backseat is great until dad stops the f-ing car. And if there is one thing the USA likes is being daddy stopping the car and bringing out the belt.

    Trump looks pissed about those last volleys on the way out the door. Also sounds that that is not uncommon for people to take a few cheap shots before a ceasefire takes place. I'm not caught up yet this AM but his little "WTF they are doing" and stomping off tells it all. Bibi must have...

    Foreign Policy

    Knowing where it is and securing it are two different things. I think NDVA is confirming my uninformed thought that "just blowing it all to hell" could create more problems than it solves even if it looks attractive to light up the heavy truck traffic that had been in and out of there recently.

    My point is the stuff people are most worried about is pretty small and portable. Is it trackable via sensors? I don't know. Tom Cruise is going to have to recruit Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts to squat those cases with 400kg of enriched uranium though.

    Flush them out swipe the goods would be the Tom Cruise Mission Impossible move. Quick AI math - "The volume of 400 kg of 60% enriched uranium (in metallic form) is approximately 20,942 cm³. This is roughly equivalent to a cube with sides just under 27.6 cm long" - that seems way too small for...

    I expect there is 400kg of 60% enriched running around Iran as they scurried valuables out of that site in anticipation of trouble as soon as Israel lit them up ten days ago. That can't be good for non-proliferation either. I'd rather they had to collect it scattered around a known hillside than...

    Trump Presidency Round 2

    Boy that escalated quickly to "regime change" with the never Trump neo-cons slobbering all over the place. Boot lickers are pulling hair of anyone anti-war in the MAGA ranks. I think this fooks the midterms hard - the group that put Trump over the top were the apathetic voters pulled from the...

    Anyone really think we would blow up all this enriched uranium? That would be toxic mess pinned on the good ole US of A. If they did move the goods - we had to have been able to monitor the radiation movement (maybe NDVA can chime in). If it is buried under a mountain maybe it the best spot to...

    Market up, oil down, interest rates down. Oil markets have been acting like this will resolve quickly. The volume of people fully erect over bombing Iran is something else. Great job by Israel and the MIC - A+ work. I trust foreign governments even less than our own but I am sure this was the...

    Wives and the Stupid **** They Say/Do

    The gas can will be my daughter's eventual husband. I choose downhill stations when I fill her car up. I am also the only person in my house that knows how to break down a damn box.

    Foreign Policy

    NDVA makes a good point that this has been discussed with them extensively in this 60 day "you better" exercise. Trump is now in a bit of a put up or shut up position. Bringing the hammer out ONLY on this specific site had better be the overwhelming show of force to bring them to the table or...

    Foreign Policy

    TBH I am curious to see these bad ass bombs unleashed for their intended purpose, probably the exact site they are designed for. If I am curious, you know the MIC operators would give their left nut. Knowing you can't trust war lust blinded advisors, I'm do not envy any POTUS facing these types...

    I agree that would be a pragmatic approach - I don't trust that it would be limited to just that. Why stop there when regime change is within grasp! All the worst of the GOP is slobbering all over themselves right now. Bombing the program is less attractive to me than getting them to dismantle it.

    My son's commissioning peers are not impressed with fighting Israel's war either. I am not impressed with Trump supposedly vetoing Israel killing Khemenei, hopefully that was a good cop/bad cop tactic to try and bring them to the table. I highly doubt Trump will be able to limit our involvement...

    Where have I heard this WMD line before??? Israel are masterclass gaslighters. If we get attacked I would put at least 60/40 on Israel doing it to draw us in.

    Fuck that shit. Just as much for fighting Israel's war as I am Ukraine's. Trump was hoodwinked into the COVID fiasco in his first term and now Israel looks like they will hoodwink him into doing their dirty work in his second term. The volume of neo-cons salivating over putting our bunker...

    I saw a post of half a dozen different apartment buildings each with the penthouse FUBAR like this in each one claiming it they were all part of the coordinated attack. Funny even with the heightened rhetoric of the last week they were hanging out in their penthouses like they had nothing to fear.
