"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026
Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.
you can tell that this isn't a real problem, because if it was this would be written by someone it happened to and not someone who it didn't happen to saying "but if it did that would have sucked."
i'm sorry, they're not even gonna put JDAM kits on em? just fly the b52s over from Barksdale and hope for the best?
a lot of critiques in aughts alleged that pentagon was influencing video games and in truth the relationship seems to be the other way around
“Israeli officials.. are looking to do enough damage to Iran’s police state from the air that the people can take over on the ground.” Degrading state capacity increases likelihood of state failure, not democratic change -Israel fine with chaotic collapse, US/Gulf not.

Just incredible that the Shah's son is being positioned as a potential leader for Iran. "Greetings Iranians, we're the US and we're here to save you from dictatorship. Oh him? He's the son of the dictator that we installed in 1953, and he's here to help."
Indeed, "what happens to Iran's nuclear weapons?" is a very hard question to answer. Not least because they don't exist and have never existed. Hard hitting stuff.
They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.
If you are looking for ways to disassociate from world events, may I suggest learning a bit about my forthcoming humor book?

Cringe or not, whether decided from principles or cold calculation, this was an action that matters and deserves positive reinforcement so that others might follow
oh thank god i was so worried this wouldn't be tremendous value for shareholders
😬
Yeah, wow, it's also crazy that The President has had wooden teeth ever since coming to power in 1789.
"the largest act of mass murder of this decade, and of this century so far, was not perpetrated by militaries or militias, but by the world's richest man in Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Executive Office Building."

Very sorry to hear this.
Even I did not think leaders mattered THIS MUCH
Flawless analogy sir, sure to win over the silent majority of people who agree that human beings and lines of code have the same inherent value.
Someone get this guy another 20 years of life and some food, amirite
