"It'll buff right out"

[AndyD]

Congratulations USA. Someone needed to do this.

[Horace]

How about the Trump admin managing not to leak any details of this op before it happened. I'm proud of them.

@Horace This is the first time, and quite possibly the last, that I was proud of Donald Trump. This needed to be done.

[taiwan_girl]

Agree with you guys above.

[jon-nyc]

Answer: On the phone with Moscow awaiting talking points.

We also witnessed some actual principles from some in the MAGA contingent, who are genuinely America-first, for better or worse.

Wow… Left leaning board members are all like “HUZZAH!” And right leaning members are apprehensive at best and outright against at worst…

There are potential positives. I don’t think China will move on Taiwan anytime soon.

Absolutely. It looks like it was very well done. I’m not sure though how they can know the degree of success.

[jon-nyc]

Obviously we don't know what will happen. A dirty bomb going off in Times Square tomorrow is not out of the realm of possibility. But I think the regime wants to survive, so I doubt anything that tragic will occur.

But we'll see. I remember thinking when it became obvious the GWB was going to restart war with Iraq, asking the question 'AND THEN WHAT???" And it's a fair question today.

Good morning. (530 here) time to go to work.

Another day another shekel.

[jon-nyc]

Magatrie Taylor Greene is crawling out of her hole and preparing to blame Biden for any blowback.. I guess that's an official apology/ass lick?

[Renauda]

Let’s see what kind of war time President Trump is. He’s crossed the Rubicon although I agree the Iranian regime left him no other choice than military action.

[jon-nyc]

Oddly the Glenn Greenwald leftist and verified crank was excluded from everything.

[Renauda]

[bachophile]

730. First alarm of the day. I’m underground at work.

[bachophile]

All clear. Now let’s see what’s the damage

Who knows the true motives of Potus, but I support this action. Notably for the first time he had his top team standing with him when giving the brief statement on the mission.

Iran will retaliate, as always. What ordnance does it still control? How effective have the Israelis been? Or the B2 and tomahawk bombs?

I can't imagine Iran moving anything from their safest facility, so their nuclear weapons program is hopefully crippled or dead.

[AndyD]

After the action by the US, less than thirty missiles fired at Israel. Similar to the previous few days.

Sixteen trucks were photographed at Fordow yesterday. Did they get the chance to move fissile materials?
