The Second Cold War has begun. Now is the time for armored divisions, not political divisions. Ever prone to the fallacy that you want me to reply to your opinions with my own, often differing, opinions. No follow back. In fact, I block follow farmers.

I’m not very knowledgeable about Islam, but isn’t Ramadan a little early for udhiyah?

After all the munitions being expended by CENTCOM right now, I have a feeling they might have to send some men to fetch him.

Shortly after the first set of explosions, Iranians received bursts of notifications on their phones, not from the government advising caution, but from a prayer timing app called β€˜BadeSaba Calendar’ which has been downloaded 5 million times from the Google Play Store.

The messages arrived in quick succession over a period of 30 minutes, starting with the phrase β€˜Help Has Arrived’ at 9:52 am Tehran time. No party has claimed responsibility for the hacks.

Screenshots shared with WIRED Middle East show messages urging Iranian military personnel to surrender their weapons with the promise of amnesty. It also urged army personnel to join β€œthe forces of liberation” and to β€œdefend your brothers.”

I’ll take harder-line replacements for the current leadership who don’t have a strategic rocket force or nuclear weapons than the current guys who do.

Also, it doesn’t matter how hardline the replacements for the regime leadership are if you kill them, too.

I don’t understand why you think he is detached from reality AND lying. Usually, these two are separate, mutually exclusive explanations.

Most people attend college as a prerequisite to making better money in a career into which the degree they "earn" grants entry. They are there to earn, not to learn. If they can get a degree in a technical field without having to do the work to pass liberal arts prerequisites, many will.

β€œYou be the judge”. Can’t help but think this is intended to evoke the phrase β€œjudge, jury, and executioner” in prospective recruit’s minds. At a minimum, it is outright offering people extra-judicial power. Just insane.
