Radar bases housing key US missile interceptor hit in Jordan and UAE, satellite images show | CNN
New satellite images from several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula suggest that Iran is seeking to degrade air defenses by destroying US-made radars that detect incoming missiles and drones...
Oof. Multiple THAAD radar systems have reportedly been destroyed by Iran. Thatโs bad.
Iโve also seen some surprise that Russia is providing Iran with targeting data for US forces, but that was expected. Weโve been providing Ukraine with targeting data for 4 years.

The rapid expansion of American-owned data centres in the Middle East has opened up a new front for Iranโs retaliation against the US, complicating Gulf ambitions to build multibillion-dollar AI facilities in the region.
Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities โ prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack.
Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes.
Experts say Amazonโs facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region.
The strikes mark what is believed to be the worldโs first military attack against the US โhyperโฆ
I double checked. This is not being reported at WaPo.

Trumpโs War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iranโs ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trumpโs foreign policy in a nutshell.

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?
We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

Here in Travis County, at least, the Repug chatter was heavily tilted toward Paxton. I was guessing that Hunt played spoiler to give Cornyn any chance to win.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board
"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."
Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Back in the 90s, the Left Behind book series about the apocalypse had the president flying around in Air Force One dropping bombs on American cities like LA. I keep thinking of this.

He looks like a monkey to me. And knowing that he bought Epstein's ranch to be a Christian camp for children is revolting.

Trump has just declared war on Iran together with Israel. Not because it's in the interest of the USA. But because it's in the personal interest of a Trump. True, war criminal Netanyahu pushed for this-but Trump ONLY does things that help him personally.

Take note Dem Candidates: Each & every Republican Senator and Congressperson who applauded upon hearing Trump proposing to replace income tax w/ Tariffs, should have a close-up video of them clapping โย broadcasted far and wide by all their DEM opponents. Tariffs are massively unpopular and illegal.
