IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield β€” Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

We're 3 for 3 on invoking Abrahamic religions when it comes to this war, so that's fun.

I don't disagree with the idea of having a generic bojuka bog, but it's a really funny take to have after the war over color identity we just had as a community.

Fair enough, I was just saying that it gives them a potential level of cover over negativity. Was it a top ten selling set to the stores, or a top ten selling set to the players?

WotC sells through distributors anyway. A lot of Spider-Man was sold by WotC, but they're generally not counting what leaves a store as a sale, only what the location bought from the distributor.

Saying Israel is more than willing to forgo the "hand wringing and pearl clutching" of our other allies should probably be a quote read at the Hague.

Yea, for sure. I also took it very much as an acknowledgement of, and eagerness to get a piece of, the lawlessness we've seen in relation to Gaza/Lebanon/Syria over the last couple years πŸ™ƒ

"When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically repeating the familiar phrases – ['existential threat'] – one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy."

Actually surprised that Mills's oppo people took this long to dig it up and it kind of suggests that the DNC are not spending enough resources following extremists to see what they're up to

I'm exhausted by all the efforts to rewrite the history of the 2022 US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, with folks insisting "we told you so!" as to Fetterman, that Conor Lamb was always the better choice, and generally ignoring Malcolm Kenyatta's historic candidacy.

So let me say a few things. 🧡1/

Gotta forgive the war crimes as soon as possible. Otherwise how can they manufacture consent properly?

From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for β€œIAEA” wrong.

Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Tbh I am disconcerted by this meeting so far. The US’s violation of the charter is red letter, blazing, clear as day. Many of the US’s allies are mentioning it in passing. I suspect they wont like what follows from signaling they are less committed to the UN charter than they are to countering Iran

Probably just there to make it easier on newer players. I could see someone thinking they could get their tokens back with this tbh.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

The timing of the initial strikes is unusual.

Often you see these types of operations launched in the pre-dawn hours at the target site partly to limit civilian casualties.

This operation began at the beginning of a work and school day, with millions of adult civilians and children in harms way.

I kind of get the initial gut reaction? But after I sat on it and got the reference, I think it's pretty great. A lot of people are just salty and taking it out on the silly Turtle shaped cardboard.

It's going to be exhausting by the time Star Trek comes around πŸ₯²

1. I think it's funny.
2. I liked @pleasantkenobi.bsky.social's video the other day where he said it looks like cartoon cheese, which is often unnecessarily stretchy.
3. It was pointed out to me by @tahoth.bsky.social that all the weird cheese pizza cards are references to the art on other versions.
