"this is a psychotic war. One that Israel and the United States entered led by two psychopaths. Vainglorious, narcissistic, disconnected. They're up to their necks in political and legal trouble."
An Israeli journalist demonstrating truth-telling and courage that is way beyond Australian media.
When the Omanis are mad you know things are REALLY REALLY bad.
Albusaidi called for Gulf Arab states to reconsider their defense doctrine, noting that “there is a growing public debate in the region about the effectiveness of some existing security arrangements.”

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."
This man, like his colleague Peter Thiel, is a dangerous, extremist, deranged, lunatic who should not receive 1 cent of public funding for anything...and every Democrat needs to make that a campaign commitment. Time to end the Palantir grift and malevolence train.
Trump has threatened to escalate the conflict if Iran continues to wreak havoc on the Strait of Hormuz. It won't work. Iran's regime is not willing to be coerced by US military force.
Trump will go after softer targets e.g. energy infrastructure. But it won't succeed in stopping attacks on Hormuz.

The damage to Shahroud is extensive
More or less every building in the solid motor production lines was damaged, many destroyed. Several mixing & casting buildings, along with what might be non-destructive testing & premix buildings.

The radar installation in Qatar that was destroyed by Iran was a strategic level asset.
You're probably picturing a big radar dish. The AN/FPS-132 is more of a massive, multistory concrete building that looks like a cut pyramid. A major civil engineering project. There was ONE in the Middle East.
The CSIRO’s Environment Research Unit will lose 102 full-time equivalent positions, staff were told on Tuesday.

"Hegseth’s vision of the US-Israel relationship is frequently framed in theological terms that collapse any distinction between American foreign policy and biblical obligation."

This is horrifying to read. That the world is sitting back and letting Israel commit these atrocities on a daily basis is a stain on all humanity. Cruelty and racism at it’s worst

64/ Yes, losing Gulf Kings now a risk. “They can hardly believe US impotence at protecting oil installations & shipping, & the US inability..to rapidly refresh their dwindling stocks of interceptors. There's a profound sense that US military bases have become a source of threat rather than security"

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
