The Iran Nuclear Program thread

Ok this is kinda funny.

Did they get the assahollah?

Hard to imagine getting regime change done in a week. Regime destruction maybe.

Beginning to hear reports that khamenei may have been taken out in the initial attack. Waiting confirmation.

[Mik]

Defanging them maybe. I wonder what prep work was done with the Iranian resistance.

Oil futures are up but only a few percent. There doesn’t seem to be much concern about closing the strait.

Surprisingly little online reaction to this, and very few people talking about it in person. I know it started late Friday Night/Early Saturday, but it’s surprising how low key this feels.

The Dave Smiths and Andrew Schultzs and to a lesser extent Joe Rogans of the world will be complaining. But the TNCR flavor of Trump haters don't mind, same flavor as Sam Harris.

I haven't checked Bluesky.

That’s only because I want to see some Iranian religious fanatics and clerics hanging from lamp posts just a tad more than I hate Trump and his cult.

To acknowledge that Trump does not exist at the furthest possible negative end of a value scale is actually further than most Trump haters can go. So I respect that.

Sorry to break it to you, but in my mind Trump and his cult are not even close
to the furthest possible negative end of the value scale.

He’s such a loser.

Hollywood probably has less bombing to deal with. Except for movie bombs LOL!

Matt Walsh breaks with his boss Shapiro (so I assume), and is not a fan.

Rumors of a cult among right wing pundits may be exaggerated.
