Oh I missed that the war powers res was party line in the senate. Fucking delusion behavior by this Congress

Live look inside the WH for deliberations over a ground invasion of Iran

in which ryan grim has conducted some crack sourcing to "uuuhhhh maybe the vdare guy said his wife had a jewish name sooo uuuhh they're all jews???? because the vdare guy said so????"

We are all on the front line of the hybrid war

A lot of people are gonna rush to "this is what current Twitter does to your brain" and I'm gonna contend that no, he'd have known this "lore" even if Twitter was run by turbolibs

Update: my reply team have now determined to the origin of “planter’s wife is Jewish” thing to be the neonazi website vdare, and apparently reported nowhere else. bsky.app/profile/pymu...

I am so fucking mad about how smug these guys are going to be. Just look at this shit.

this is a fucking dril tweet

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

The thing is they're *still* heckling Harris and she doesn't even hold an office anymore

All of the big protests over Israel stopped as soon as Trump got in office and never started again even after he bombed Iran twice in cooperation with them.

This is plainly visible to anyone with fucking eyes but you'll still get yelled at for saying it.

The interceptor drone thing is toward the lower end and meant to counter both Shaheds but also slower reconnaissance UAS (a lot of the interceptor drone footage you see is intercepts of fixed wing recon drones) that are otherwise not cost-effective to lob a missile at

Sky Fortress—Ukraine’s Acoustic Detection System That Tracks Drones Cheap and Fast Built from scratch, acoustic detection systems are turning sound into a weapon and reshaping air defense as we know it.

On the lower end they have a system of microphones trained on a neural network to detect and triangulate incoming Shaheds because they sound like murder-lawnmowers and they interdict them with machine gun and searchlight equipped technicals

On the high end they have actual surface to air missiles with networked radar detection systems or gun based SHORAD like Gepard that is very capable but also expensive and bespoke

On a more serious note I think a lot of people don't quite realize that Ukraine's very extensive GBAD system and early warning network also has it's own high/low mixture of intercept and detection methods

there are a lot of you who should legitimately know better by now than to base your anger on a politico report that attempts to make senate democrats look bad with one line quotes

In some sense of the word Russia genuinely has the world's /only/ truly high quality information warfare operation, in that Israel, KSA, Iran, China and indeed the Republican Party of the United States of America are all genuinely quite bad at it.

Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"

"We only had 30,000 or so observable Shahed variant attacks in Ukraine, but the targets were woke, so our Chief Technology Officer decided not to study them"

I could have told you this and I'm an unemployed bozo who has never been anywhere near the military...

Wonder if the US has any European security partners with relevant expertise with Shaheds?

81% of Israelis back Iran strikes, INSS poll finds - i24NEWS 63% want Operation Roaring Lion to continue until the regime falls

This kind of poll result makes it much harder to support the argument that the Israeli government ≠ the Israeli people. The American and Israeli publics seem to be moving in opposite directions.

"Another riding"

I find the 'how many weeks will the war go?' questions odd.

The war is going to continue until Iran no longer has the capacity to block shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz or chooses to stop doing so.

Given the economic impact of strait closure, it really cannot end before that.

“We are in an undeclared state of war.”

After Mike Johnson says the US is not at war, and Donald Trump says it is, Lindsey Graham tells @premthakker.bsky.social a third answer: an “undeclared state of war” — which, he suggests, allows the US to illegally strike ships in international waters.

I think it's factually correct to say that some of the other Gulf States view Iran as a regional adversary and are very interested in countering them and their proxies but also that they were not on board with this war because it would escalate that proxy conflict into a real one

Oh yes okay come with me new people on this horrible journey into Porn Wars Theory

This will be a thread and an extremely bleak one
