It was pre recorded,no?

Good luck with Epic Fury. I'm sure the UK will be backing this if not actively helping and taking part. Guessing the two US battle fleets may be mostly self sufficient.

Stay safe bachophile, missiles incoming!

Sad to say we are used to this. As odd as it sounds, we don’t feel in mortal danger. Just a heightened sense of awareness.

Pic taken today at Ben gurion airport. Line of tankers on the tarmac. I’ve never seen anything like this.

One of them up in the air right now

US troops in Bahrain also under attack. The Iranian fanatics will hit back, they have nothing to lose.

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.

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.
