“At the same time, Trump’s team is privately trying to reassure the president that conservatives aren’t abandoning him. They have provided him with polling data in recent days that they say shows the war is popular with his supporters, people familiar with the matter said. 
Some Trump allies who have grown skeptical of the operation have coordinated behind the scenes to schedule appearances on Fox News and other TV networks watched by the president to sound a note of caution and warn against a deeper U.S. commitment. ”

this is just covid II; a small, closed circle are feeding him constant horseshit and other conservatives are trying to get on fox news to warn him that he's in political danger

None of this solves for physically getting the oil to where it needs to go, or, you know, the underlying problem.

Waited until the market closed for the week to do this because they're terrified of making oil prices spike further. He's gonna keep touching the same hot stove in the exact same way

As far as actionable intelligence goes, it's a bad sign that we're bombing oil depots.

Trump should do this to distract from the idiotic war he started, which he started to distract from everything else.

Just me, personally, but I don't see Johnson putting a No-Really-We're-Nazis bill up for a vote ahead of the midterms.

From a U.S. perspective, this could be true, but from an Asian one, the math looks very different.

"West, 54, was a 28-year-old police officer ... when he was arrested and charged with the statutory rape of three girls, two aged 14 and one aged 16. West agreed to plead guilty to 16 lesser charges of taking indecent liberties with a child"

Cops are great. And Pedocon Theory remains undefeated.

Only if Iran and Israel agree to stop as well and I don't think it's possible to draw an intersection of a Venn diagram where the terms would be agreeable to both sides.

Providing no quarter to surrendering troops is a war crime.

Hegseth is threatening to target senior officials and commanders (not a war crime). If he could successfully do so, he would, instead of embarrassing himself and the country.

Wheat requires 15 inches of water. For one square mile that’d be ~261 million gallons on average.

In 2024 google’s data centers consumed 6.1 billion gallons of water.

Are you really claiming Gemini is only 4.3% of google’s data center use?

The North Vietnamese had zero interest in launching attacks, terrorist or otherwise, against the U.S. as retribution for killing Ho Chi Mihn. No one is really grappling with the current options, including the administration.

It's very funny to me that people keep talking about insurance as the barrier to passing through Hormuz since "insurance" in this case is a direct proxy for "risk of getting everyone and everything on board blown up".

You either do it now or wait for Iran to retaliate in a way that will ensure a full scale war.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
