What’s amazing is that Hezbollah seems to be sitting this one out altogether.

We’re getting the band back together.

Huge if true

That would be regime change since the Ayatollahs probably would not take kindly the American Satan moving into their beloved country. And since we've done something similar to a couple countries in the neighborhood without much success we at least should have learned we are not too good at taking over Islamic countries and making them workable. Also, this would mean a pivot away from China--not in our best interest at the moment.

Wishful thinking on the part of the Israelis.

Yeah, the IDF has plenty of commandos.

Yeah, China seems to keep getting lucky in that manner. After the Cold War ended, for a while it looks like the USA will focus on China. Then 9/11 happened.

Tik Tok had a video allegedly of a crashed F35.

Hi again. All good. Last night was not so fun but today was calm for the most part.

Trump allegedly halted a plan by Israel to kill the Iran leader. Odd to see this reported as fact in the first paragraph, then in the third paragraph the denials by relevant parties are noted. If this is true, I would think that the leak itself is a big story. But I don't trust it much.

Glad to hear it. Busy at the hospital?

I thought this an interesting op-ed. I thought Bush II should have done it in 2006.
